Episode 4: A young man named Eta.

Previously...

The muscular man and his followers shuddered. They hurriedly heading out of the restaurant, don't even bother to to take the petite young man that lay on the floor,hugging his body tightly.

Perseus sigh. He kneel down before he slowly touch the young man's shoulder.

...****************...

"Are you okay? " Asked Perseus. His voice is full with concern.

The young man slowly sit up before he turn his face towards Perseus. He look a bit relieved though his body still tense.

"Thank you for saving me from that ugly Pylos. I thought I'm gonna be dead."Said the young man with a smile plastered on his face.

Perseus only smile a bit before his face turn into it's cold look again. He reached out for the leash on the young man's neck. He untied the leash slowly and when he able to untied the leash,he stand up again.

The young man in front of him seem to be a bit shocked before he raised his head to look at Perseus face. Perseus stretch out his hand in front of the young man.

The young man stared at his hand for a few seconds before he took Perseus's hand to support himself to stand up.

"Erm... thanks again for helping me out."

said the young man.

Perseus nodded his head slightly.

"I think I should go now. I don't want you to get anymore trouble than you already are. I'm sorry for dragging you into my mess."The young man fidgeting his white chiton before he turn his body against Perseus.

The young man clutching his bruised arms and walk away but before he could walk out from the restaurant, Perseus stop him.

"Wait!"

The young man turn his face towards Perseus, who has already after him.

"Erm... what's wrong,sir?"Asked the young man timidly.

"You haven't eating anything don't you?"

The young man shake his head slowly before he stared at the floor. He can't afford to buy food and he hadn't had any meal for a few days.

"Come, follow me. I could see clearly on your face that you hardly have any meal for a few days. "

Perseus pull the young man's hand to follow him towards a table that near the window at the second floor.

"But sir... "

"I never accept no in my life so you better save it."

The young man immediately close his mouth when he heard Perseus 's cold tone as if saying no was something that is unacceptable in his life.

Perseus and the young man take a sit on the chair before Perseus asked for the waiter. After they both had place their orders, Perseus turned his face to the outside of the restaurant. He notice a few of Argus's men are searching for him.

"Ermm... sir?" The young man keep fidgeting his fingers and keep his head hang low.

Perseus got a some kind of noble and powerful aura around him, and honestly it's making the young man nervous. Perseus turn his face towards the young man. His eyes show nothing but coldness.

"Hmm...what? " Asked Perseus,

"I... I don't have money to pay all the food...but, but don't worry! I'll pay it just...I.. well...I need time and... hrmm.. I.. "

Perseus sighed before he stared at the young man intensely.

"Don't worry,you don't have to pay for anything. I'm not that cruel to ask someone who clearly don't even have enough money to pay for me." Said Perseus.

The young man hang his head even lower than before. Perseus shakes his head slowly. He grabbed the young man's chin softly and raised his head so that he can have a good look at the young man's face.

The young man stared at Perseus in fear. He flinched a bit when he saw those two sea green eyes that fill with coldness. But he can't deny that Perseus have a beautiful eyes and his face look so handsome that it's almost intimidating.

Perseus pull back his hand after he realized that he still holding the young man's chin. His ears turn to slightly red and his heart beating so fast. He never felt like that before when he look at anyone else. Not even in his past life.

The young man's astonishing look almost took his breath away. His gold eyes shined brightly and his slightly pink cheeks make the young man look so innocent. His long black hair make the young man looks like a girl. His white and thin chiton make him even more beautiful. Simple but still, he looks stunning.

Perseus gulped down slowly before he teared his face away from the young man.

'How can a man look so beautiful than a woman? ' whispered him in his heart. There's no way he gonna said that out loud.

"So... what's your name? "Asked Perseus after a few minutes of awkward silent.

"I'm Eta." the young man stared at his feet,not even dare to raise his head to look at those beautiful yet cold eyes.

"Where did you lived? Are you lived near this city? "Perseus sound almost interested and that's making the young man raised his head to stare at Perseus.

"Erm... yes. I lived near this city."

"And where exactly is that?"

"That's... I...I can't tell you that! "

Perseus glared at Eta.

"Whatever. I can still found out where you lived and believe me after that, I'll make sure that you will regret your unsatisfying answer. "

Eta gulped down before he bowed his head. Why would a great man like Perseus want to know where he lived?

He unconsciously sighed in relief once the waiter come to their table and put all their orders on the table. His stomach growls loudly when he look at all those delicious food. His face turn into hot red once he spotted Perseus's smirk.

"Go on. Just eat whatever you want."

Eta look at Perseus for a while before he grab his spoon and start eating. He hummed softly. The food taste so great especially after he haven't had any proper meal before.

"Is it good? "

Eta nodded his head vigorously. Perseus smile but before anyone could see it his face turn cold again. He not gonna show his soft side to anyone else except his family.
