Chapter 1 - Still Here

P.S: Some of the song lyrics will be changed to fit the story accordingly.

At the Super Rock Villa

It has been 2 years since they defeated the white star, and he's been chilling in his Villa ever since. Well of course he sometimes leaves for urgent matters.

While Cale is dozing off, suddenly, someone barges into his supposedly quiet Villa.

"Good afternoon, young master Cale" Rosalyn said, quite embarrassed of the people accompanying her.

Sigh

"What are you all doing here?" Cale replied, a bit annoyed by the sudden interference of his slacker life.

"Well, my dear Dongsaeng, we have decided to take a rest and be free from each of our work." The young prince stated

"And what does that have to do with me?" Cale replied

"We decided to stay at your Villa for a month," Witira said, which caused the young master to choke on his saliva.

'Here? They're going to stay here?! Ah... I can see my slacker life waving goodbye again'

"Are you alright young master?" Ron walked over to where Cale was and patted his young master's back.

"And why is my Villa your choice of place?" Cale spoke with a face that said 'You all are rich, why here?'

"That's an easy question, young master, it's because we want to spend time with you and the kids" Paseton stated as a matter of fact.

"Hayss.... I suppose you can stay. " Although he can see his quiet life waving goodbye, he thought that maybe it's not going to be as bad.

"Where are the others?" He asked as he was only seeing Ron, Paseton, Witira, Rosalyn, and Alberu.

"Choi Han and Beacrox are with the kids outside, I think they're playing, while Lock, Cage, and Eruhaben-nim are on their way. " Alberu spoke

"Alright, I'll prepare the guest rooms for you guys, you can walk around in the meantime, and while I'm at it, I'll prepare dinner too," Cale spoke and got up to do the things he said.

"I understand, young master, we'll go outside with the kids in the meantime" Ron answered in his usual tone which still gave Cale the chills.

'Vicious' he thought

After a while, Cale has prepared their bedrooms and realizes that the Villa has no servants that he could order to cook, so he asks Beacrox instead.

'Hays.. They're supposed to be resting but why am I ordering him to cook' Cale thought feeling a bit guilty as he should've at least brought 2 or 3 servants from the Henituse Household.

Cale and his party are now at the dining area and are currently eating.

"Cale-nim, how have you been?" Choi Han spoke which broke the silence

"I've been enjoying my time here, it's nice to have this Villa" Cale answered as he wiped the excess food from Razon's mouth.

"That's right! The weak human has been well thanks to us" Raon said grinning

'This kid still treats me like a weakling'

"Well, thank you Raon-nin for taking care of young master" Ron thanked the little dragon.

While eating, they talked about random stuff such as, who Cale likes the most among his children.

"Alright, that's enough for today, let's go to our respective bedrooms." He spoke in a tiredly manner.

"Ah, I suppose the young master is quite tired now, let's go now everybody" Alberu spoke

With that, they left the dining area and went to their respective bedrooms.

Midnight

Cale, who could not sleep went to his balcony to get some fresh air in hopes of being sleepy. Then a memory suddenly popped into his mind, the memory from his previous world in which he and his friends would sing a song to let out their unsaid feelings every free time they have, they sang both sad and joyful songs depending on their mood.

'Haa... Why am j suddenly reminiscing those times? Should I sing again..?' He thought.

Raon who woke up from the sound of humming coming from their balcony, went to find out where the humming in coming form, there he saw his human with a rather sad expression.

'Why is the human sad? And he's singing? I should let the others know! This is the first time ever that I'm gonna hear him sing'

And so, he went and woke up the others. They all went to the balcony just enough so that Cale wouldn't notice them.

Raon cast a silencing and invisibility spell so that the human wouldn't hear or see them.

Just then, the first lyrics finally came out of Cale's mouth. They were bewildered by the deep but soothing voice which held an emotion they couldn't figure out.

Early morning there's a message on my phone

It's my father saying, "Darling, please come home"

I fear the worst, but how could you leave us all behind?

Ah... They already understand the meaning of the lyrics just by the first verse.

"It must be when the late Countess Jour died" Alberu spoke

"The young master had a hard time when the Countess died, he had an empty expression, like he lost hope on everything" Ron said in a surprisingly saddened tone.

There's so much to say but there's so little time

A tear went down Cale's face which shocked the people watching. Taon pulled out his recording device and started recording.

'Why.... Am I crying?'

"The human is crying nya~... " On spoke, the sadness showing clearly on everyone's face, even Ron and Beacrox who always had the same expression, showed sadness.

So how do I say goodbye

To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?

You gave me my name and the color of your eyes

I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

"It seems like the young master still hasn't accepted his mother's death.. " Rosalyn spoke and everyone's expression hardened even more. To think that the young master who always took care of their problems, couldn't even take care of his own.

When I couldn't, you always saw the best in me

Right or wrong, you were always on my side

But I'm scared of what life without you's like

And I saw the way he looked into your eyes

And I promise if you go, I will make sure they're alright

"Cale may not seem like it but he really cares for his family, " Choi Han said, it pained them how they couldn't even hug him right now because they need to know what's on his mind.

So how do I say goodbye

To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?

You gave me my name and the color of your eyes

I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

And there's no way you could ever let me down

Gonna steal some time and start again

You'll always be my closest friend

And someday we are gonna make it out

Just hold the light, just hold the light

Cale now, is fully crying, the records keep replaying in his mind. He felt tired but relieved at the same time because he finally let out his feelings.

"This unlucky bastard, why can't he just tell us his problems so we can help" Eruhaben said in an annoyed manner.

The people beside him nodded in agreement.

"He always keeps it to himself, even if we ask him he just says he's fine nya~," Hong told them

"I hope the young master will tell us soon, " Lock said, to which the others nodded.

So how do I say goodbye

To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?

You gave me my name and the color of your eyes

I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

As the song finished, Cale finally went to sleep with tears still flowing in his eyes.

Raon took off the silencing and invisibility spell and stopped the recording device then they went to him. They saw how heartbroken the expression he had, they wished they could tell the young man that everything would be fine but they knew that it wasn't always the case.

Choi Han carried Cale to his bed and tucked him in. They soon left the young lad's room with a pained expression.

They figured that Cale's way of expressing his feelings was through singing, so they made up their mind to follow Cale when singing so that they could know the young lad's thoughts.
