Chapter 5. Meeting I.

' Lost? '

When Cale heard Kim Rok Soo said he was lost. He started to remember where they both are, this place is forbidden for outsiders to enter as this is the Henituse family graveyard.

Only those from his family and with permission can enter. He looked over at the man and starts to feel suspicious, but at the same time, he believes the man is being truthful because he doesn't know their location.

That's why instead of doubting the man, Cale decided to tell the man their whereabouts to make sure if Kim Rok Soo is lost as he said.

" That... we actually at my family's graveyard sir. "

As soon as Kim Rok Soo heard about their location he froze.

' Shit... How the **** do I end up here in many places. Why a graveyard!?'

Cale examine the older man's face and saw the man look confused. When he saw his face, Cale was sure that Kim Rok Soo was lost. That's why he decided to help the man.

" Then shall we get going, sir?."

" Hmm?... Yeah. Sure lead the way."

Although Kim Rok Soo said calmly he still felt confused there are two reasons for that. First, the location where he transmigrated, and second because of the action of the redhead man in front of him.

He wondered if being trash makes one mind turn to an idiot or if the redhead was just being generous to him because he was his savior. Because the man doesn't question how he ended up here, at the redhead family graveyard.

Cale started to stand up with difficulty while using the tree trunk behind him as support. He winces slightly when his wound starts to open up with the sudden movement.

Seeing Cale had a hard time to even standing up, Kim Rok Soo decided to help the redhead. He lifts Cale in bridal style as he makes sure not to touch Cale's wound.

"Waa!?, W-what are doing!?"

Cale was so shocked by Kim Rok Soo's action, that he push the man's chest trying to get back down, but the man was stronger than his thin arm. Cale's face flushed red with embarrassment while Kim Rok Soo frowned.

" Don't move around or you'll fall. "

" A- I can walk by m- myself so let me down."

" You can barely stand let alone walk. So just stay still."

"B-but I must be heavy... "

" Heavy?. You're as light as a grains sack."

When Cale heard Kim Rok Soo comparing him with a grains sack, his lips turn to a pout. He was slightly angry at the man because never once had he been compared to a sack.

Although he was trash, no one dare to insult Cale in front of himself because he is a noble. Kim Rok Soo was the first person to ever say such a thing to him and he was also the only person who talk informally with him.

That's why even though Cale was mad at the man he also felt comfortable because of the man's blunt way of talking, a slight smile formed on his pink lips, but when he felt Kim Rok Soo's warm hand on his back, his already red face turn even redder.

Kim Rok Soo started to walk down the hill following Cale's order. He walks slowly to make sure there won't be too much movement as Cale's wound might open up more.

He glance over the redhead's face, Cale, if needed to be explained with one word, it would be beautiful. With those pink lips, long eyelashes, and slightly rosy cheeks.

' Cute.'

Kim Rok Soo was surprised at his thought but at the same time, he felt it was true that Cale is cute. The way his cheeks flush every time their eyes met when Cale tried to peek at him and the way he stutter as he told him the direction.

It's just cute. Kim Rok Soo's stoic eyes turn gentle as he watches Cale's cute action. There isn't much word exchange between them but the atmosphere is surrounded by a peaceful feeling. Both of them were comfortable with each other company.

Soon they arrive at the entrance of the graveyard. Just when Kim Rok Soo was about to step outside of the gate, his sharp instinct alarm him.

Swoosh.

A dagger flew from his right. Kim Rok Soo dodges by stepping back, he quickly shields Cale so he wouldn't get hurt.

He turn towards the direction where the dagger came from and saw an old man standing there with a benign smile, although he was smiling his eyes were cold and vicious.

' shit... This old man. Don't tell he is who I think he was.'

Kim Rok Soo's face turned stoic. Although he was questioning the man's identity, he already knew who the man is. An old man with a benign smile, a butler outfit, and a dagger. Ron Molan. The assassin serves Cale Henituse as his butler.

The old man right now was looking at him with cold and vicious eyes that makes the person who receive the stare startled as he observed him. Just when Kim Rok Soo was about to break a sweat, Cale called out to the old man.

" Ron? What are you doing here?"

Cale didn't notice the dagger that came flying toward Kim Rok Soo with how he casually called out to his butler. He just thought Kim Rok Soo stumbled because of the uneven ground.

" Young Master Cale, this old man came here to bring you back home and to get your wound treated as soon as possible."

" Well, we're on our way to go now so let's go together then."

" Yes, young master Cale. But, may I know whose that person is, young master?."

" Huh... Oh... This man here is Kim Rok Soo-nim, he um... "

Cale glance over at Kim Rok Soo as he doesn't know how to introduce him if he said that the man helps him when he passes out. People would find it suspicious as no one could enter the place easily and Kim Rok Soo just happened to be there.

Although Cale is also suspicious of the man, he also believes the man is not a bad person. That's why Cale is having a hard time explaining his relationship with the man to the butler.

" We're friends."

When Cale heard Kim Rok Soo said they're friends he quickly played along to use the excuse.

" Yes, that's right we're friends!."

Ron looked toward his young master with his still benign smile and nodded. Although he knows the young master is lying about his relationship with the man, he let it be.

Because the young master's eyes are shining when he said that the both of them are friends. Ron had been by his young master's side since he was born and this is the first time since the previous Countess passed away, had he seen the young master looks so happy.

" I see then, please excuse my rude behavior, Kim Rok Soo-nim. "

" Uh... Yes."

" Then we shall get going now, the master was so worried about your well-being young master. That's the master order for groups of guards to search for you."

" Huh? Father did?."

" Yes, young master."

"..."

Cale turned silent when he heard Ron report. His father Deruth Henituse cares about his well-being?, Cale doesn't know whether to feel happy or cry for his father's sudden care.

Before whenever he did something his father would only tell him to keep it down a little but never have he asked why Cale was doing it. He would just let him be and deal with the aftermath or compensation for everything he broke.

Kim Rok Soo notices the change of emotions on Cale as he studies his face. His face looks sharp and cold but behind those face, his eyes are filled with sadness.

Silent resonates around the three people. Kim Rok Soo start to walk again as he noticed the cloth he use as a bandage for Cale's side start to get wetter. It means Cale's wound was getting worse.

" We should get moving. His wound opened up."

Ron quickly takes the lead when he saw his young master's wound indeed getting worse. They start moving fast and carefully while making sure Cale is fine.
