~~Flash back on the carriage ~~
he raised his hand to feel his forehead and looked out the window. There were no pursuers following him from the count’s estate. Not that he wanted that to happen but.....
JEON JUNG-KOOK
Is there anything going on at Count jeon's estate? You know, like, private soldiers leaving or something like that?
UNKNOWN
Random people 1 : I ’m not sure. It’s always a peaceful place. What’s the point of having soldiers on the road?
UNKNOWN
Random people 2 : Ah! I did hear that they had a good harvest this year. It sounds like the food will be plentiful again. But why do you care about the count’s estate?
They kind of making fun of that.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
I don’t. I was just curious.
Kook lay flat on the bed, thinking about the people who laughed at his questions about his home. It had been a fun trip nonetheless—he couldn’t remember anything more enjoyable in his life.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
I guess I have one good memory now.😊
JEON JUNG-KOOK
How many more can I make before I die?
If he couldn’t live more than a year, he wanted all of his remaining days to be meaningful.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
I wonder what they thought about the letter.
Kook turned his head at the sudden thought. Perhaps his family thought it was nothing. he scoffed at the thought and closed his eyes, feeling a little hot. It seemed that his fever had come.
UNKNOWN
Maid : Oh good god, my lord! Lord, lord Jungkook is gone!
The count was sitting in the high seat at the breakfast table. He furrowed his brows. The maid, who had busted into the room, took a deep breath, holding something in her hand. She saw the count’s frown and quickly apologized.
UNKNOWN
Maid : Ah, my lord, pardon me for barging in without knocking.
The count put down his silverware. The maid was now staring at the floor.
COUNT JEON
Doesn't he often go out without saying a word? What made you rush over here like that?
The maid’s head dropped even more at the count’s angry words. She stuttered to speak.
UNKNOWN
Maid : It’s just… I don’t think my lord has just gone out like the other times.
UNKNOWN
Maid : I went inside lord Jungkook’s room to clean and found this note on his desk.
The maid bowed and held out the small note she was holding. The count unfolded the small piece of paper. He gazed at it only briefly because it was just one sentence.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
<I am going on a journey.>*in note*
The short sentence made it difficult to even start guessing why he had left. Seeing the count silent, the countess reached out and took the note from him. She stiffened after reading the single sentence.
COUNT JEON
What does this mean? Why and where would he go out of the blue, without a word?
UNKNOWN
Maid : I… I do not know, my lord. It is only this morning that I found this—
Count jeon rudely interrupted the maid.
COUNT JEON
When was the last time you saw Jungkook?
The nervous maid tried to think hard. When was the last time she had seen Lord Jungkook?
UNKNOWN
Maid : Ah! About two days ago… I think I saw lord Jungkook leave the house.
COUNT JEON
What about yesterday?
UNKNOWN
Maid : Yesterday......
The maid tried to concentrate, clenched and opened her fists, and desperately shook her head. No matter how hard she tried to remember, she couldn’t remember having seen Kook yesterday. She shook her head in resignation.
UNKNOWN
Maid : I do not recall seeing lord Jungkook , My Lord.
COUNT JEON
What about the others?
The maid looked flustered.
UNKNOWN
Maid 2 : I do not know yet, My Lord.
Kook was not the most noticeable member of his family.
The count turned to Abelia and Feldon.
COUNT JEON
Did you see Jungkook yesterday?
The twins looked at each other and shook their heads.
JEON FELDON
I didn’t see him yesterday.
JEON ABELIA
Me neither. I thought he went to the market again because he wasn’t in his room…...
Enphric would not know Kook’s whereabouts because he had returned home late in the morning from work.
Count jeon looked down at the note again. There was no mention of where he (jk) was going, what he would be doing, or when he’d be back.
COUNT JEON
*sighed loudly *
JEON ENPHRIC
Jungkook must be upset that we are having a picnic on his birthday instead of a party. I should have picked another date. 😔
Enphric said, his voicing his concern with a frown. Two days before, he had asked for kook's understanding but it did not look like he (jk) was okay with it. He regretted not talking about it with him (jk) more.
JEON ENPHRIC
He did look a bit off.
Kook - who was usually so agreeable must have had a reason to show his (jk) anger. Enphric rubbed his forehead with the back of his hand and told his family about his encounter with his brother.
JEON ENPHRIC
He said it was okay but it must have gotten under his skin.
COUNT JEON
* clicked his tongue*
COUNT JEON
How could he act so childish?
He glanced down at the piece of paper like it was the result of a tantrum of a immature child and laid it on the table.
COUNTESS JEON
How could he leave just a single note knowing we would worry about him?
The countess held back her sigh, she would not have had a problem letting kook go on a trip if he would have asked. Instead this sudden disappearance seemed like a way to lash out the family.
Then the count spat again....
COUNT JEON
He should not be acting out like teenager. How embarrassing for an adult omega to behave like this? 😒
Feldon's eyes sparkled with interest.
JEON FELDON
Has jungkook gone on a trip alone? ✨✨
He had always dreamt of going on a journey alone bringing just a sword - to be on an adventure.
JEON FELDON
☁️☁️Jungkook is awesome. ☁️☁️
To go an a journey all by himself.
Feldon almost begged his parents to let him do the same, although Enphric had told him that he must be a fully grown man before he could go on a trip. He was so excited to get out of his seat right away and join kook on his adventure.
