Vampire Brothers : Fears & Tears

Chapter 29

Third Person POV

S.Coups and Haneul returned back to Odemore with mixed feelings. She already told her husband about what she heard during the attack. And he promised that he would do everything to get Eun Hui arrested.

But when Odemore is getting closer, they feel a huge lump in their throat, like something bad just happened, or going to happen.

"Love, are you okay?" S.Coups asked because he could clearly feel how nervous his wife was. She gave him a small nod. "Yeah... just...feeling stuffy inside." He nodded, "I know. I can feel you." His eyes then landed on Jaewoo, who's sleeping in Haneul's hand. "How's my little prince?"

"I already fed him."

"That's good to hear. Uhm...love?" S.Coups pressed his lips into tiny lines. Haneul just let out a small hum. "I know we talked about this last night, but I'm sorry love. I'm sorry for not listening to you." S.Coups apologised to her. Haneul let out a sigh, "It's fine. Just promise me you'd be careful with Eun Hui."

S.Coups nodded, "I will honey. Let's head back and inform the others. Might as well just kick her out of the palace. It's too dangerous. She's been hanging around Seunggyo too much. Who knows what she could do to him." "I bet she's the reason why Seunggyo has been sick. I don't know what she did but I will find out." Haneul said, sounded determined.

"Let's go then."

When they reached the palace, they straight away regretted their decision of going to Hwayangyeonhwa. Their arrival was greeted with an injured Gaeul. She had her left hand bandaged.

"Gaeul!" S.Coups straight away scooped her in his hand. "What happened to you princess?"

"Hyung..." Woozi came to him. "Woozi, what happened to her? Did she fall off the stairs?" he asked worriedly before he checked his daughter.

"Gaeul!" Haneul rushed with Jaewoo in her hands. "Oppa, what happened?" she asked Woozi but before the male could answer, Gaeul spoke, "I saved samchon." to their surprise, she was smiling widely.

Haneul was frowning, "Saved samchon? What happened, darling?" "Uhm...me and Woozi samchon were walking across the big ballroom. Then the big light fell down and I pushed samchon to the side." Gaeul was explaining things to her parents with a wide smile.

Haneul was looking at Woozi, "Oppa?" "I was busy and she wanted to play catch so we decided to play in the great ballroom. When I was standing right under the chandelier, it suddenly fell down. Before I knew it, Gaeul already pushed me to the side." Woozi explained his side of the story.

"But that doesn't explain why she got her hand bandaged." S.Coups looked at the younger one. "Uhm, she sprained her wrist as she was rolling away from the falling chandelier. And unfortunately, she accidentally got some glass pieces cut through her palm. So that's why. Woozi explained more.

"Are you okay now, princess?" S.Coups looked at Gaeul and she nodded eagerly. "Where's Bomi?" her father asked more. "She's with Seunggyo samchon."

Both Haneul and S.Coups frowned.

"Since you're both here, there's something that we should let you know." Woozi said, raising a question in both S.Coups and Haneul.

Woozi brought them to the King's chamber. When they opened the door, they were surprised to find Seunggyo was awake. Not just awake. He was looking a little bitter. "Your Highness?" Haneul called him.

"Haneul." He smiled at her. They walked into the chamber. "You're okay?" S.Coups asked his brother and he nodded, "Never been better."

Haneul turned to Maid Han who was there. "You've been looking after him?" She bowed at Haneul, "Yes, My Lady. After you left, I looked after him, along with Bomi." Maid Han said. S.Coups frowned, "Bomi? Where is she?"

"Bomi is here!" She got out from under the bed. She quickly climbed onto the bed, jumping on it happily. "Choi Bomi! Get down this instance!" S.Coups was scolding her but she just ran around the room. They just shook their heads. "Sorry about that, Seunggyo." Haneul apologised but the King just smiled.

"So want to tell us what happened here? How are you looking so fresh now? And please don't take it the wrong way." Haneul said. "None taken." Seunggyo chuckled. "I don't know what's happening here. But when I woke up yesterday morning, I suddenly felt a lot better."

S.Coups then looked around the room. "Where's Eun Hui?" Seunggyo shook his head, "I didn't see her around since the day of the attack."

Haneul then looked at Maid Han, "Can I have a word with you for a moment?" She bowed, "Sure My Lady." Maid Han then turned to look at Seunggyo. "I'll be outside for a while."

"Please don't be long." He was looking at her with sparkling eyes. Maid Han just smiled, "I won't Your Highness, Nothing bad will happen Your Highness. Your brother is here now."

"It's n-not th-that....it's just...uhmmm..." Seunggyo awkwardly rubbed his nape.

S.Coups and Haneul looked between Seunggyo and Maid Han, sensing something happened between them while they're not in the palace.

Haneul chuckled at their bluntness. "Maid Han? Our talk?" She tried to catch Maid Han's attention again, and she succeeded. Haneul let Woozi take Jaewoo before she went out. Maid Han hurriedly went with Haneul and S.Coups was left with Seunggyo, Woozi, Gaeul and Bomi.

Seunggyo's eyes were glued on the door. "Gyo?" S.Coups called him. "H-Ha? Y-yes?" The King's eyes were forced to look away from the door. "Don't worry about her. She's doing fine with Haneul." S.Coups said, knowing exactly why both of them were acting like that.

"I-I'm not...wo-worrying about her." Seunggyo looked away.

His elder brother chuckled. "Yeah, right."
