Kring...


Kring...


Kring-thud!


A slender hand reached out of the quilt, slamming the poor alarm clock mercilessly. There was a groan, and the bed shifts slightly as the person moves to sit down, leaning against the head of the bed.


A hand makes its way to the phone at the bedside. The light from the device made the person frown, taking a few moments to let his eyes adjust to the changing vision.


Checking the dates, the person thought,

'Ahh... Monday again?'


Ignoring the lack of willingness to get up, the person removes himself from the comfort of his bed, stretching out his body to get rid of that tiredness. A sigh came out, and he went to freshen himself.


As usual, after a quick shower, he wrapped a towel around his waist, water still dripping from his slick, shoulder-length hair, and went to the kitchen just across his bedroom.


'... A cup of milk sure does the trick.' A sigh came out.


Feeling a little energized, he went back to his bedroom to dress up, adjust his hair, and finished with his usual hairstyle - a side parting.


Taking a last look at the mirror, he let out a satisfied breath and grabbed his school bag from where he left on the couch yesterday.


Putting on his shoes, he turned the doorknob, his mouth unconsciously moved, "I'm gonna go now."


Realizing what he just said, he shook his head, not expecting an answer. He sighed deeply, for yet another day.

"You brat! Why didn't you just listen to me, huh!? It's hard to follow the order!?"


Swish!!


The whip swung hard and hit the boy below, who was quivering and shaking. The belt was thin, so thin that the boy's back was full of scars. Red blood covered the wound, some past scars started to bleed, the liquid dripped on the floor.


In spite of that, the boy didn't let out a single sound, no matter how much he was hit. However, his scrunched face can't hide the pain he had received, but still stood silently, no tears in his eyes.


With all his strength, the pale boy said weakly, "But emperor father... Kol was missing. I had to find him... If he were gone, I'll be left alone..." He muttered the last part, so the man in front couldn't hear it.


The said father was angered to the point that his face started to turn red. He swings the whip again, forcing the boy to winch in pain.


The man laughed. "I should have known better to give that. Because of that useless little thing, you dared to ignore my order and let the world see your pathetic self. Now, where am I supposed to put my face, huh?"


The laughter stopped. A sinister smile appeared on the older man's face. "Soon they will know about your existence... Ahh, what should I do? Throw you up or lock you?"


The boy instantly lifted his head, pleading with a tearful eye. "No! Don't throw me out! Anything but that, please..."


The older man let out a sneer, his eyes staring in disgust at the boy. "Huh, so now you decided to be obedient? Remember, if I've learned that my orders are disobeyed again, I don't know what I'm going to do next. You get that, don't you...?"


The boy nodded his head weakly.


Throwing the whip away, the boy's father walked towards the table and sat down. He waved his hand and ordered, "Get out of my sight. You're ruining my mood."


Slowly, he made his way to his room, which was across this horrible building. Although he was a prince, it was merely a title meant to hold him down. No servants were willing to serve him, leaving only to fend for himself. A prince was supposed to be respected as a royalty, but instead, the boy was held in disdain by those around him.


After what seemed like an eternity, he finally reached his destination, his only safe haven.


Making his way inside the small room, he slumped into his bed, face facing the pillow. He turned his head sideways, looking far into the horizon through the small window.


'I already miss him...'


In that old, small room that no one has entered, only a weak sobbing can be heard.

Author's notes

A teaser for you! I've had these ideas coming into my mind lately. I was thinking. Maybe it can be told in a story?

So instead of keeping it inside, I've decided to write it! And the first chapter will be uploaded by this week.
