Chronicles of forgotten child

The person was quickly brought in. It was a young girl who was dressed as a maidservant. When she entered the court, she knelt.
Sir Wang
Sir Wang
Who are you? What injustice have you faced?
It seemed that Sir Wang was determined to intervene in this case. But Magistrate couldn’t refuse his intervention. This Imperial Censor Wang was a favourite of the Emperor and usually, he would never suffer a loss. This person was as stubborn as a stone. Unable to stand most officials, the ones that were positioned under his control would ultimately not have a good end. It could be said that Imperial Censor Wang was like a demon in the minds of the officials. So, when the demon spoke now, he didn’t dare to slight him. Although the money was good, he had to keep his official hat on his head. Magistrate made up his mind that it was worthless to keep Chen Zhao’s money, and as for Jungkook, he would forget about him too. Since Imperial Censor Wang was present, he would present the image of being a just and incorruptible official who was a parental figure to the masses.

This slave is a maidservant at Lan family’s manor. This slave can vouch for Master Jungkook. It wasn’t young master who killed Chun Ling, it was Chen Zhao!
Chen Zhao
Chen Zhao
Hey you ungrateful! You… what are you talking about? ( in a anger mixed loud tone )
Sir Wang
Sir Wang
It's not your home young man.. Maintain the decorum...

Chun Ling and I were first-rank maids at the residence, and thus, we also lived together. The day of the murder, this slave went out to buy something and after return, i heard something strange outside.

Since it was a strange noise, i didn’t dare to show myself but peeped out from a small hole through a window.

Chen Zhao was pushing Chun Ling to the ground. He covered her nose and mouth, restraining her, until she stopped struggling. I was terribly scared of being discovered by him and so, ran.

Later, I didn’t dare mention this matter to anyone. Who knew that yesterday, the young master would be imprisoned!
From within the crowd, a familiar high pitched voice came. It was none other than Song Lan. At first, without a doubt, Chen Zhao’s part was untouchable. However, after watching one of her own personal maids and listening to Jungkook’s speech, she had suddenly become anxious. And now, this maid had appeared to cause a stir. By this time, Song Lan had begun to realize the danger of the situation. Thus, without taking into account the place she was in, she began shouting abuses in public like a shrew.
Magistrate Gong Do
Magistrate Gong Do
What evidence do you have to support your claim? ( to Maid )
Jungkook smiled quietly. In the silent court, his smile was clear and unblemished, and in seeing that, people felt as if a soft breeze was blowing in their hearts. It's always weakness you know.. You get someone's weakness in your hand and you become the benefactor of that person. Decision of life and death, slavery and mastery, rule and oppress, question and answer, suffer and torture... all lays in your hand. You decide how to handle that weakness. You know how to enjoy and take the opportunity of that. Because weakness always crumples you down, easily and cruelly. The maid who had been a witness was someone who hated Jungkook but couldn't help herself when she got to know that Jungkook knows her own of the deepest and important secret. That secret was her weakness. And just with its mention, she was here, witnessing for Jungkook.
Chen Zhao
Chen Zhao
You’re lying! ( shouted )
Chen Zhao
Chen Zhao
You are clearly talking nonsense! You both are teaming together to place the blame on me!
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I have stayed in prison all day. I did not have any opportunity to meet Qiu Yan. Are you suggesting that we teamed earlier and planned this entire incident out?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
But if that is correct, how could we have known that Chen Zhao would bring government officials to arrest us yesterday? Am I a ghost or a demon to know all that?
Chen Zhao looked at his beautiful face. His doe eyes were like spring water, but they taught people not to unconsciously fall into their trap. His lips were full, like petals, but they seemed to only spit out venomous words. His moving eyebrows were charming, but had a vague, murderous intent to them. He was not a handsome angel, but a devil. He was not a beautiful young boy, but a snake.

The night when Chen Zhao informed everyone of Senior Chun Ling's death, I was coming from the outer courtyard carrying in the laundry and went past Master Jungkook's courtyard.

However, at that time, I had wanted to look for Senior Shi Zhang to have a chat, but there was no one in the house. Thus, Master Jungkook was nowhere near the courtyard, and therefore, he could not have been the one to throw Senior Chun Ling's corpse into the well.
The whole situation had been completely overturned, with testimonies arising and pointing towards Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao was utterly baffled and had never thought that at such a time as this, so many servants would appear pointing their fingers and giving testimonies against him. All his thoughts were in chaos. As he apprehensively looked towards Jungkook , he was in total disbelief. He was absolutely dumb found as to when Jungkook had both the means and opportunity to bribe all of these servants.
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
You said that you have witnessed Chen Zhao murdering someone. Then, do you have any evidence to support your testimony?

Justice seeking servant
( nodded ) i do.

At that time, when I saw Chen Zhao strangling Chun Ling’s neck, and Chun Ling was probably attempting to fight for her life when she protested and scratched Chen Zhao on his neck. So if you, sir, would check for any scratch marks on Chen Zhao’s neck and also examine under Chun Ling’s fingernails for signs of blood, then the truth will eventually be revealed.
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
Come forward, Chen Zhao
Chen Zhao wanted to put up a struggle, but physically he was no match for the court officers who very quickly grabbed him. Xen Dang came forward to assess and verify before reporting back to Imperial Censor Wang. "To report the Imperial Censor, there are evidence of scratches. There are 3 patches of three lines each. All are in same pattern. Two besides small, middle long.. implies they are the point, middle and ring finger... used to scratch... ( bows )"
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
Gaurds ask the physician to check Chun Ling's dead body. See if there is blood traces and report...
Chen Zhao, knowing that the situation had taken a turn for the worst, collapsed to the ground. Almost within half and hour the guard returned from examining Chun Ling’s fingers and reported that there was indeed traces of blood under her fingernails.
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
Such dare you have, Chen Zhao. You have murdered a person and tried to silence any witnesses. You’ve tried to both get rid of the corpse and destroy evidence. Furthermore, you’ve tried to implicate and mislead by putting the blame on another person. A thief shouting the capture to catch the thief, this is just insanely foolish and shameless!
Chen Zhao
Chen Zhao
I did not intend to kill her, but when she started to threaten me, I was consumed by anger. It was not intentional, so Sir, please have mercy on me…
But, just when everyone thought that the case had come to a close, suddenly, an untimely sound was heard. The sound everyone came across twice today. Xen Dang came forward to report that someone was striking the drum of Justice.
Song Lan, having watched the whole scene unfold from outside the court, felt her vision gradually turn black before fainting in the midst of the crowd. Imperial Censor Wang instructed the guards to take Chen Zhao into custody and throw him to a prison cell. The common folks of East Street had not encountered such an exciting and intriguing case in a long time. It was not just the fact that the family’s son had committed a crime, but to add to it, he had created trouble and shifted the blame onto someone else- going so far as to implicate and lay charges against an innocent young boy. This was absolutely unbearable and he was truly guilty of the crime.
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
Bring the person in..
The person who was brought in was yet another servant and after seeing this, the crowd could not resist commenting and discussing- indeed what was it about this day, all the grievances were brought forward by servants. When the servant was brought forward, Imperial Censor Wang inquired..
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
Please state your grievance..
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
In response to sir, I am seeking justice on behalf of our family’s young master.
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
Who is this young master of yours?
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
My family’s young master is none other than Master Jeon Jungkook.
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
If a servant was mistreating her master, to the extent of deliberately conspiring to plot the fall of master, what should be done in such an instance?
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
The country has the state laws, while families have their familial laws, and the governance of servants does fall under the familial laws.
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
In saying that, with regards to the law, familial laws are derived from the state law, and daring to take a life is a severe crime and will definitely be punished accordingly.
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
Then, sir, I would like to seek justice on behalf of my young master, and file a lawsuit against Song Lan and her son.
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
My master has stayed in the residence for five years and has been made to suffer hardships under tyrannical oppression. He has been treated worse than the servants of the household. Song Lan and her family have taken advantage of my master’s goodness, seizing all his assets and properties, while mistreating and abusing him at every turn. During the coldest time of the year, nine days after the winter solstice when it is the coldest, they would make him go up into the mountain to gather and chop firewood. On cold, wintry days, they would instruct him to head down to the river to wash clothes with female maid servants. I mean how animalistic it is to send male young master to wash clothes at the lake with mere servant ladies. I spit on that.
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
He was given plain bread and water for food, and for winter, a coat that was merely made out of a thin quilt. In the five years that my master has lived in the residence, he has not once had a full meal, and not once has he lived a good day. He had to sew his own clothes and linens, and make a living through making lanterns. He has been forced to live in such poor conditions, cohabitating with rats and rodents, and even eating ants and critters for survival. Even when he was sick, there wasn’t any medication to aid his recovery. Essentially he has been a grass left to wither and die.
Shi Zhang’s earnest entreaty moved the hearts to the point of tears. There were some soft hearted ladies whose hearts were breaking upon hearing the plight of this young gentle boy, and they began to rebuke Song Lan and her family for their treacherous acts. Even those who were affluent could not help but sigh, as even the life of a child from an ordinary household would be better off than what Jungkook had to endure.
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
Chen Zhao has dragged my master who is 10 years younger to him through the mud, setting him up to take the the fall for murder and having lecherous intentions for him. It is indeed by a stroke of luck that my master was gifted, and able to escape from the jaws of death. Please, Sir , impart justice for my master. Please punish these evil and devious miscreants.
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
How could you say that Chen Zhao had $exual intentions for your master? What evidence you have to call him lecherous??
Shi Zhang once again gave an account of the day Chen Zhao had taken liberties with his words and actions when speaking with Jungkook and abused him physically, and how he had been forced to fall into the pond. There was a truth to these words; there will always be incidents where people are being harmed. However, this was the first time that a servant had abused their master in such a way. In the midst of the crowd, Song Lan had long since fainted away, and many people started spitting on her. The little servant girls by her side were too scared to come forward to help her as they feared the crowd’s rage. When she got to the point where Jungkook was lying sick in bed, yet no medicine was procured for him, Shi Zhang could barely choke out her words and cried silently .
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
Master Jungkook, is what this servant girl said true?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
No word is false. However, my thoughts are different from this maid of mine.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
At the end of the day, Auntie Lan is still only someone who oversees a residential compound. Who gave her such power and authority to abuse me?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
If she did abuse me, a few hundred people reside in the compound; how is it that not a single one came to my aid while I have been facing such difficulties?It is almost as if they all agreed without prior consultation to refuse to treat me as their master. In my opinion, Auntie Lan was born into this household, and her entire family also makes a living within the compound. She would not have the guts to abuse me, unless there was someone encouraging her in the background.
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
Who do you think is it?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Thats a matter for judicials to look for. I dont know either..
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
You are the young master of the residence, but how could it be that the servants bullied and humiliated you to this point, and your family was not at all concerned? If there is some secret grievance behind this situation, I will have to judge you together with everyone else and hold you responsible. Since this residential compound belongs to your family, and it is not far away from your family home, how could it be that not even the tiniest hint of news reached your family? Are you trying to imply that all the servants in this residence, from the highest ranks to the lowest ones, are in the habit of hiding things from their master? Then, I will have to look into this even more carefully!
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Please do not make rash conclusion . I am the second son of high-ranking government official Jeon Jung Hoon . My father is fair and impartial, and shows me every consideration. It is only that he has been deeply deceived!
The crowd burst into a hubbub of discussion, the noise filling the entire court. No one could have imagined that this young master, whose situation was immeasurably worse than any misfortune that could befall an ordinary person, was actually the son of a high-ranking government official. A man who could take pride in his position, at the height of his career, someone considered to be fair and impartial, he would not have thought that his own son would be bullied like this at the residence. Everyone looked at Jungkook with eyes full of sympathy and compassion.
Jungkook seemed a little uncomfortable to be at the receiving end of sympathetic glances of the bystanders.He lowered his head slightly, revealing the pale back of his neck. He looked like a swan whose wings had been broken. His posture was weak, yet he gave off the aura of one who was fighting hard to protect his pride. His jet-black hair obscured his side profile, only revealing the delicate angles of his lower jaw. His pale lips showed a little bloody colour, and were strangely appealing. No one noticed the mocking laughter in his eyes, concealed by his long eyelashes.
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
You’ve been at the residence for several years, and Official Jeon has never come to take you back?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
As his child, I ought to share his burdens. I do not wish to add to his troubles.
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
I want to know – five years ago, why did you come to the residence?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
My birth mother died of an illness, and this unfortunate son of her's had to observe the period of mourning for her.
Imperial Censor Wang
Imperial Censor Wang
According to our illustrious imperial laws, the period of mourning ends after three years. As of today, you have long fulfilled the period of mourning. You do not have to be detained here. I will make the decision on your behalf, return home immediately!
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Really.. ( said with excited and tear filled eyes )
Accompanied by the sighs and murmurs of the people, the curtain finally came down on a big spectacle with many twists and turns. Chen Zhao and Song Lan were taken into custody pending trial, whereas Jungkook was able to return to the Jeon residence. The court was still in session, but Shi Zhang and Nam Seok could not stop themselves from running forward to join Jungkook. They were both too excited to speak coherently. But more importantly, after today’s revelations and major changes, Jeon Jung Hoon’s reputation had taken a severe beating. If the talk of the people could take the shine off his good name, then the Imperial Censor’s accusation of misconduct would certainly throw a spanner into the progress of his official career. From his previous life, Jungkook remembered, this Imperial Censor Wang was repentantly stubborn, and even dared to directly admonish the Emperor. As part of his everyday routine, he loved to meddle in other people’s affairs. If he sensed there was some injustice, he was more than delighted to interfere. This was why Jungkook had suddenly suggested Shi Zhang to go to certain part of the street and carry out some task that day, and had worked to resolve Imperial Censor Wang’s desperate situation. Since Imperial Censor Wang highly valued righting a wrong, he would definitely want to look into Chen Zhao’s case. Moreover, once he realised that it involved Jungkook who had once helped him’, he would naturally not stand aside and ignore his grievances. Using Imperial Censor Wang was indeed a good chess move, but the true beauty of this move was to be revealed in its impact after the event. With Imperial Censor Wang’s stubborn nature, when Jungkook's current situation was brought to his notice, he was bound to harbour a lot of dissatisfaction against his fellow government official, Jeon Jung Hoon. Upon his return to the capital, he would surely write a scathing report about Jungkook’s situation. Since his word was taken seriously, one could imagine the blow to Jeon Jung Hoon.

By evening, the servants in the residence brought the chests in one after another. Inside the two yellow pear wood chests, which were of the finest quality, most of the clothes and accessories which had been well-worn could now be deemed as completely returned. However, the money could not be retrieved. Song Lan’s family had always enjoyed the privileges but detested the work given to them; the money that they received was taken by Chen Zhao to charm boys and girls or else, by Chen Fu to gamble away. Thankfully, the clothes and accessories were in Chen Zhao's possession, hence, those items were not pawned off and had not become irreclaimable. However, unfortunately they could no longer be worn.
Jeon Jungkook

Nam Seok, Other than those left behind by mother, bring everything else to the pawn shop and sell it all. If possible, have all of these things exchanged for banknotes.
Nam Seok
Nam Seok
Master.. all these.. its yours... why.. this...
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Things that have already been used, what need do I have for them.
Nam Seok
Nam Seok
Nevertheless, a few sets of clothes should be kept.
Nam Seok
Nam Seok
Within 2 3 days, we will be going back to the capital. It would not be good if you are dressed like this, young master .
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
If I am not dressed like this, how would father feel distressed on my behalf?
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
That’s right. If young master wore these clothes, to just fake a facade without a care about the current situation, wouldn’t it be unbearable for master to remain unfazed?
After thinking about it, Nam Seok no longer hesitated and crouched down, carefully removing the upper layer of the remaining things in the chest. She then instructed a few people to remove the remaining clothes and carry them out so that she could find a pawn shop to bring the items to exchange for money.
In his past life, during the times when he was miserable and helpless, one thing that Jungkook had learnt from those that harmed him was forbearance. If there were conspiracies against him, to use all that he could to slowly scheme and thwart such efforts; all this seemed to have worked flawlessly for him now.
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
This….. there are rumours about Master Jeon
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
They talk about how the master Jeon does not govern his home firmly and neglected his second son to be humiliated and bullied by his servants at another residence.
If the town was abuzz with this news, then naturally, in the capital, this matter would have become an idle topic being discussed fervently. Everyone was talking about how Minister Jeon had hidden his coldheartedness behind his visage of kindness. They felt sorry for the righteous and intelligent Jeon family’s second son, the forgotten child... In the majestic and bustling capital of Great Kwang, stood the Jeon manor with its entrance quite isolated and abandoned today. In the Jeon family’s official residence, the entrance was so tightly shut that not even a servant girl could be seen leaving the household to make purchases.
NovelToon
In the lavish Jeon mansion, the official study was I a choas. The usually calm, peaceful and silent study was in a hustle today. Jeon Jung Hoon, the owner of Jeon manor and the head of the family, threw the booklet in his hand with a loud thud, onto his desk. His face was ashen as he spluttered being furious....

Bloody fcking hell... what the hell? Such a unfilial basterd!

Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Please calm down, Master, and not let anger harm your body.
NovelToon
It was Xia Yan. The second wife of Jeon Junghoon, the current legal wife, official owner and head of Jeon family. She was the one for whom Jeon Junghoon disregarded Park Minji. She was a mere concubine who very cunningly climbed to the position of legal wife by eliminating one by one of her obstacles. One of the biggest danger and obstacles that Jungkook has and had in his current and past life. There are many folds of this lady to be unraveled with the progress of the tale. But in depth, she is the begging of all.
Jeon Junghoon
Jeon Junghoon
Look at what is written in all of these booklets! All of them are saying that I, Jeon Jung Hoon, did not manage my home firmly. ( bangs his hands on table angrily )
Jeon Junghoon
Jeon Junghoon
That without showing concern for him over the past five years, I treated my own son harshly. Therefore, I am cold-blooded and heartless, a sanctimonious person! ( throws the tea cup on ground and breaks it )
Jeon Junghoon
Jeon Junghoon
The emperor has already ordered me home to reflect. Already I have become the laughing stock of Choijung city! Park Min Ji , what a fine son you have raised!
Park Min Ji was Jungkook's birth mother. She belonged to the legendary prestigious Park family and her father, Jungkook's maternal grandfather was a war hero general. Park Min Ji married to Jeon Junghoon on her own stubbornness because she loved him deeply. But unfortunately she fell out of favor and even after giving birth to two sons, she couldn't help her unfortunate destiny. Even while she was alive Junghoon had accepted this concubine named Xia Yan as his wife.
The distance from this town to the capital would take two, but at most three days to cover. Imperial Censor Wang always advocated carefully. Thus, contrary to one’s expectation, he declined the comfortable sedan chair that was arranged for, and ordered instead two horse carriages .
Jungkook's chests of miscellaneous items had already been sold and the value converted to banknotes, so only a chest of books remained to be moved into the carriage. Thus a lot of space was saved. Apart from being accompanied by Nam Seok and Shi Zhang, Baek Zhang would also join them in their journey. Baek Zhang was Shi Zhang's younger brother. Shi Zhang and Baek Zhang are neither biological siblings nor cousins. Shi Zhang is herself orphan and she gave Baek her name when once she helped him to escape from a male brothel. Shi Zhang helped him after being helped by Jungkook and changed his identity into her brother. Later she sent him to nearby village to be safe. He used to live in the neighborhood village and at once came to his sister when he heard about the case. He was well aware of Jungkook and his nature. He had heard enough from his sister. And he at once, agreed to follow them for the rest. Nam Seok and Shi Zhang were not only witty and intelligent servant girls, but also bold, which was quite a rare trait.
NovelToon
The journey went smoothly as the path wasn't that bad and also with less things they were comfortable. Also Imperial Censor was very polite and welcoming to Jungkook which only aided him. They soon reached the half-way mark of their two-day journey. After a night’s rest, they would probably be able to reach the capital by the afternoon of the next day. Imperial Censor Wang and the other officer sat astride their ponies. The sky gradually darkened. Imperial Censor had made inquiries and discovered there was a temple ahead of them. As they were in the middle of the wilderness, he considered the difficulty of finding an inn to stay in overnight. Thus, after asking Jungkook's opinion, he decided that they should stay at the temple. The temple was quite large, yet not much incense had been lit. Perhaps, due to its remote location in the deep mountain wilderness, very few people travelled here to light incense. Even the monks going to and fro were few.
Jungkook had not stepped over the threshold of a temple for a long time. Earlier, when Park Min Ji had still been alive, she had often taken Jungkook to the temple to pray for blessings. After her death, when Jungkook had been sent to the countryside residence, life became harsher by the day, and there was neither time nor money to visit the temple. Asking for Buddha’s blessing and protection came with a cost. While Nam Seok and Shi Zhang were tidying up, Baek had already made one round of the temple and even returned bearing several dishes of vegetarian food. As he urged Jungkook to eat while the food was hot, he described the temple’s layout to him in detail.
Night had fallen by the time they settled in the temple. All the men, including Imperial Censor Wang, and the other officer, had arranged to sleep on the other side of the temple. Jungkook his two maids were in the main shrine. Imperial censor Wang kept them there so that he can act upon in time if anything happens. It was late at night in the depth of winter, and surrounded by inky blackness, dead silence presided over the temple. Only the sound of the cold wind, like a whimper, could be heard. The lamps had been completely extinguished. The only light remaining was a wisp of moonlight. At that moment, huge dark clouds rolled overhead, completely blotting out the faint moonlight. Under the heavens, the earth was shrouded in a blanket of darkness. In the silent darkness, several furtive figures suddenly appeared in the courtyard. The figures paused at a few rooms, glancing inside for confirmation, before entering one of the rooms in a single file. Jungkook opened his eyes, pupils gleaming with a hint of chilliness. He smiled faintly and whispered.. Both servant girls nodded in unison, got up, opened the door, and walked out. Jungkook stood in the middle of the room. He had already laid out everything in the room next door, but had not slept there. Instead, he had hidden in this adjoining room the whole time. He had in fact set himself up as an easy target. In his previous life, he had also lived in a similar temple, but his recollection of that time was extremely vague. He could only remember that the monks had made things difficult for him, but whether this was deliberate or due to some other reason. However, on hindsight, it must have been at the work of Xia Yan and her daughter Jeon Sui. Back then, they had needed him as a pawn in their scheme to enter the palace, so they had made things difficult for him only for a short while before letting him go. Now that he had been given a new lease of life, and was returning to the Jeon mansion with great fanfare and the status of the highly righteous son of the first wife, he was afraid that Xia Yan and Jeon Sui would not be too happy.
On this final day, they still wanted to block him return to the Jeon mansion . However, this time, what they wanted was his life! Due to the temple’s remote location and consequent lack of monetary offering, they had taken Xia Yan’s silver and were doing her bidding. However, today, Jungkook was an evil spirit who had returned from hell, and in this play they were putting on, he alone had the key role to demand someone’s life! The faint chime of bells came from the neighbouring room; it was a secret code. Excellent. He had released a large quantity of poisonous smoke into the room, and Baek Zhang had taken the antidote earlier. Once the people that Xia Yan had sent entered the room, their part was – to be trampled on. At day break, he planned to throw the bodies of these people in front of the temple’s statue of Buddha. Sir wang was an officer and would naturally have to investigate. Jungkook prepared to open the door and go to the neighbouring room to check on the situation. He had just reached the door when it was shoved open violently, and a figure slipped in quickly from outside. Startled, Jungkook hastily took a few steps back. The other party, seemingly, had not imagined that someone would be in the room either, and did not react immediately. In that split second, Jungkook,having moved too quickly, stepped carelessly on his long robe and toppled backwards in the prelude to a fall. Upon seeing him fall, the other person moved swiftly and reflexively stretched out a hand to grasp his waist. For a brief moment, their bodies were pressed close to one another and Jungkook's face touched his chest as his hands rested on the other man's chest... Jungkook even gripped on some amount of the fabric for support which revealed the milky white skin of the person's central chest part...Although Jungkook's heart was like an immovable rock, when he saw the person before him clearly, he could not help but become distracted for a split second. The youth dressed in black clothes was roughly in his twenties. His peerlessly graceful appearance was one that was rarely seen in the world: shapely eyebrows, cold eyes, snow-white skin..his lips were red, plumpy and demanding... Jungkook forgot everything for rest of the time till he was in his arms.. neither of them ready to break the eye contact..The sharpness of his features were distinct and he had a unrelenting heroic spirit. With drooped eyes, he looked at Jungkook . Like specks of paint, that pair of eyes was extremely clear and cold like a still lake without a single ripple. He moved his long, slender fingers on his neck as he bends more near Jungkook's face...
