Tae furrowed his brows as he tried to look him up and down, although he kept her distance - he was wondering why he (jk) did not come any closer. He took a step forward and he (jk) matched him, retreating a step. He was sure he (jk) was hiding something. His sharp eyes, used to anticipating demonic monsters moves perfectly, served him (tae) well - he could not help but notice his (jk) awkward twitching.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
What are you hiding?
Kook took another step back. He felt like turning around and running to his room and locking the door .
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
My lord, tell me if there is something wrong.
He (jk) did not know how to respond - whenever someone asked him if he was okay, he would easily say that everything was fine with a straight face, even if there was a problem. He struggled to give his opinions about any circumstances, so to him (tae), he could barely get out a strangled.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
It’s nothing.
As soon as tae heard his answer, he closed the distance between them in two big strides. He had noticed that his (jk) voice and breathing did not sound normal.
Startled, he (jk) tried to run away but he quickly grabbed his (jk) wrist, his (tae) face stiffening. He dragged him (jk) to the window where the moonlight was shining through. His red eyes squinted under the gentle moonlight, closely searching kook's face.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
You are burning with fever?
It took a second for kook to answer him.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
I am fine. I will be fine if I just rest.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
I shall have known the moment you told me that you spent two months on the road. *mumbled*
He said in a small voice. He clicked his tongue but he sounded like he was blaming himself more than anything else.
His (jk) fear started to turning into curiosity.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
☁️☁️He did not do anything wrong. It’s my fault for not disclosing my condition. ☁️☁️
His (tae) fierce gaze return to his (jk) face.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
You should have told me if you were not feeling well. Why would you try to hide it? Only a silly bear hides being sick.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
Silly bear..... *repeated*
JEON JUNG-KOOK
☁️☁️First he called me jellyfish, now I am a silly bear. ☁️☁️
He (jk) was shocked by his (tae) words and could only stare at him in disbelief.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
If you were on the battlefield, you would be the first one to lose your head! You should have told me right away that you were not feeling well. Am I right?
His fierce eyes were glaring at kook sternly.
He (jk) pursued his lips and nodded. His intention had not been to make matter worse but he still feel like it was his (jk) own fault.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
Did you make a mistake or not?
JEON JUNG-KOOK
What? Ah, it’s my mist........
He was close to admitting that he was in the wrong falling under the pressure of his (tae) gaze, but he suddenly raised his head -
JEON JUNG-KOOK
☁️☁️He had no right to bark question at me in the middle of the night! ☁️☁️
The realisation hit him hard and cleared his vision.
Tae sighed and lifted his strong and battled trained fingers in front of kook 's face. Kook counted 6 of them.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
My lord, how many fingers do you see?
Kook squinted, hopping to see better. When his vision blurred, he would aften see double, so he decided to divide the number by two and answer.
Tae looked at him blankly. He gazed down briefly at his fingers and then looked up at kook again.
Kook felt smug thinking he got the answer right but tae let out a hoarse laugh.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
Young boy, you need to get yourself to the mansion and get some sleep.
When kook lifted hos head in embarrassment, he saw that 3 tae were standing in front of him. 3 pair of sharp eyes were all looking at him. He looked at his fingers again.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
☁️☁️It must have been 2 fingers. ☁️☁️
His eyes were tinged with disappointment.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
You answer 3, not 2 nor 4. It seems you saw 6 fingers first. *said sharply*
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
You require a lot of care.
Kook shuddered at his words and his (jk) eyes narrowed even further.
He said out of habit. He did not want to be a burden. He just wanted to rest in a place that was quite and a far away from his family. He heard tae sigh above his head before he swept him (jk) in his arms.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
This place is not good for an ill person to rest well. I am taking you to the main building to rest.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
I know you don't welcome my attention but please don't think of me as a heartless person who would ignore a sick omega.
Kook could not find any response to that. He looked up at tae and tae returned the gaze.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
I will call someone who can tend to you. So sleep.
After a few seconds to process that.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
I don't want to see a doctor.
Fighting to stay awake, he continued.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
Do you understand...?
Seeing how tired he is, tae decided not to pursue the matter further.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
First rest.
JEON JUNG-KOOK
You promised, okay?
Kook started to fall asleep in his arms before he even put him in the bed. As he fell into a deep sleep, the last thing he heard was tae's low sigh. His shacking slowly stopped in the warmth of the bed.
When kook woke up, his head feel clearer. He blinked once and fell the fog clouding his thoughts lifting. He saw an unfamiliar ceiling. His shivering body was wrapped in a soft comforter. The bed was damp from his sweat.
DUKE KIM TAE-HYUNG
How are you feeling now?
It took a few second for him to reply.
His voice was hoarse. He quickly covered his mouth with the comforter but he could not take back the sound he had already made. He looked around and found tae looking at papers under the moonlight coming through the window.
