Prince

Chapter 7

(KM)

There is something in him that makes me so interested. It tweaked my unresponsive interest within me. As far as I remember the last time I felt this was when I met Felix. The way he moves and the way that he reacts to my antics are so similar.

His first day went by fast. I can see that he is still adjusting and by the looks of it, he is not really used to be away from his own home or should I say his love. He keeps himself busy, and he tries to avoid eye contact when he is around me. It actually does not bother me at all, but the way he stirs up my already messed up life is what intrigues me.

As the day goes by, I tried to make a connection with him, but daddy Jam never leaves us alone. He is always there making sure that nothing goes wrong, just as the perfectionist father he is. He meticulously tells YuKi every detail about me, what I like, my attitudes, my antics, my tantrums and everything else that he knows about me. Although this past year, I doubt that even my own father knows what I had become, and I don't want him to find out, not until I get what I deserve.

Just as my regular routine, I try to practice and train my own body so that I can move freely without the aid of a cane and YuKi is there to help me out. When I got the chance, I called him out to walk with me in the garden.

"So do want to talk?" I opened up a conversation.

"Talk about what?" He candidly responded

"Anything... I mean you are going to be stuck with me for 3 days so might as well get to know each other right?" I jokingly responded

"Well, you do have a point, but I am not sure what do you want to talk about." He answered back with a neutral tone.

"Come on now, don't be shy and ask, I will try to answer your question," I told him trying hard to make a connection.

"hmmm... What happened?" his short question.

"About???"

"I mean based on your look... you do look like you're an athlete or something..." he looked at me from head to toe.

"Well... Yeah, I was... I used to play Tennis... But..." I paused. I pretended to look away but was looking at him through my peripheral view. He is waiting for me to continue, his face is asking me to go on and continue after the but...

"But..." His tone is telling me to continue

I took a deep breath "But... Life happens, and now this. So I am doing my best to recover." I answered him, I felt a bit of success that he bit my bait.

"Oh..." His eyes widened with shock with my answer.

I looked at him straight in the eye and "How about you?" I asked him.

He immediately looked away "Wha... what about me?" He asked me back and gulped like he swallowed a spoon full of his saliva. I chuckled in my mind, he is playing hard to get.

We continued our slow walk around the garden when I asked him again "I mean... Why are you here at an early age?"

"I came here to learn how to be independent." His short reply still not looking at me straight in the eye.

"But you said you were already married..." I asked back with a curious tone.

His tone suddenly changed from the neutral to another "Yeah, I am... aside from being independent, I want to be with the person I love, my Kyutipie." This time he showed a faint smile.
