"like that's a strong word to use..."Seulgi said to Seokjin who told her about what he discovered from Soobin earlier, Seokjin was curious and He wanted to find some answers to end his curiosity.

"....like?....like? liking someone because you want them as your friend?...."Seokjin replied
awkwardly as he was not sure to what other terms to use with the word 'like' He was confused, Seulgi drop the basket and She was honestly speechless.

"....Mr. Kim...have you ever like someone?"Seulgi asked him, He tilted his head from the side."yeah...I like you and the young master...so...is there any difference in that?" Seokjin said as a chuckle escape from his mouth, Seulgi covered her mouth and shake her head.

"Mr. Kim....romantically...have you ever have a crush on someone...like someone or even love someone romantica--- MR. KIM?!?"Seulgi exclaimed and she was shock when she saw how red Seokjin's face was.

"....h-huh...l-l-love....r-r-ro-romanti--...S-Seulgi....I-I..um need to cool my head of first..."Seokjin said and left right away, He left Seulgi speechless but it didn't take a second when Seulgi realised what was going on.

"Oh my!....does Mr. Kim like someone?!?"

"oh my..."

Seokjin lean his back against the door of his room, His hands covering his entire reddened face, He was not embarrassed nor ashamed. It was the face of realization, "....I like the young master...no...I feel like, like is different from love...."Seokjin said putting his hands below his chin, He couldn't help it but spread a smile.

"....why now? After 7 years of working here...this is the first time..."

|| 1 MINUTE LATER ||

"No, no, no...I need to be certain first..." Seokjin thought as he changed his uniform to a casual one, He look at his own reflection one last time but what appeared in front of him was not the usual calm expression he used to wear, He looks in love."....let's look for answers..."Seokjin mumbled as he slap his cheeks with both hands, He rubs it gently so the burning sensation wouldn't last longer. Seokjin then left his room and made his way towards  the stairs only to walk pass Seulgi who was wiping the vase, She was startled when Seokjin was walking down the stairs in a fast pace, "Mr. Kim? are you going somewhere?"Seulgi ask the flustered Seokjin who was about to open the main door of the manor, Seokjin chuckle.

"To find answers!"

"oh...fufufu~...he is indeed in love..."

"who is in love?"

Seulgi was startled when the young master appeared behind her right after Seokjin left the manor, Seulgi gulped and back away. "...oh..it's Mr. Kim..."Seulgi said smiling from ear to ear, Jungkook tilted his head in confusion.

"what about him?"

"His in love with someone young master! quite romantic actually!" Seulgi said as her voice was filled with excitement but the moment the young master heard it, His heart sunk, He couldn't breath properly.

It was an unpleasant, He, Himself knew He can handle the pain but this feeling made him feel nauseous and annoyed....no he was angry, the act of rage was getting to him.

"....his...in love...with who?"

Seulgi gulped, Jungkook deepened his voice in which made Seulgi cower in fear, Seulgi, herself has no idea why the young master was furious. The only thing she wants right now is to hide in fear, "....I-I...um...Mr. Kim...w-went out..."Seulgi said pointing at the entrance door, Jungkook clenched his fist tightly and head back to his room to change his clothing as he decided to follow his royal servant.

"Love, an unexpected romantic or sexual attachment...to someone...."

"urgh...reading it in books sounds unrealistic..."Seokjin mumble as he went to another section to get more evidences about love,"hmm...achoo!"Seokjin suddenly sneezed earning a hush from the librarian, Seokjin gulped and said sorry to the keeper.

"are you alright?"

Seokjin heard a voice, He turned around to see man, He was beaufitul, any man and woman would eventually mistook him as a woman but Seokjin was sharp enough to notice that he was a man. "Yes, I felt chills that's all..."
Seokjin said as he stated the truth, He giggled like an angel and Seokjin couldn't get enough of his attractive looks.

"my name is Jimin, Park Jimin"

Jimin said as he introduced himself to Seokjin with a gentle smile, "...Kim Seokjin" He said offering a shake hand, Jimin took that offer with a nod.

"is it your first time entering the city's library?" Jimin said, His soft gentle voice almost made Seokjin believe that he was no ordinary human, Jimin was scanning the books as he got each three different genre in his hand, Seokjin nodded as a response. "I am...I always spend my time with the young master"
Seokjin said without any shame, since one of the rules to be a royal servant is to never reveal that you are one unless the master has given you their permission to tell and Seokjin had that permission with ease, He was not like a bird stuck in a cage, the young master let him roam around as he knows that Seokjin can never leave him.

With an astonished expression that spread across Jimin's face, He laughs in amusement. "you broke a royal servant rule" Jimin said covering his mouth, Seokjin chuckle, "I am not like any other royal servant...I have freedom...".

Talking without a care to when time will pass, soon it was night and Seokjin was more than enough happy to be able to talk to someone who shares the same mind-set as him.

"born from a human and a demon...that is rare..."

"Absolutely but I do get the same harsh treatment as your young master..."Jimin said as he opened the door for Seokjin,"but
are you not bothered?....you serve a cursed demon and yet you are not afraid...."He said with his head tilted on the side, Jimin had to question his out most loyalty to the cursed young master, Seokjin chuckle and crosses his arms.

"for all I can say for now is..."

Seokjin held his head high up in the dark shaded sky, it was filled with twinkling star as he saw a shooting star, He then face the smaller man with a smile.

Jimin felt his heart quicken the moment Seokjin laid his eyes on him once again.

"He is and will forever be my saviour"
