|| KIM SEOKJIN POV. ||

I closed the gates properly, Hearing it creak made me think of those days when I was still a homeless boy who steals food from the riches, I thought of it as a fair trade, we do the labor, they give us food but this world is all about give and take. "I wonder if the young master is asleep...I hope he won't be causing trouble to the other servants..." I thought checking the locks one more time before turning my back and walk my towards the entrance of the Manor, like any other servants we are not allowed to sleep in the same roof as our masters because they think it's disrespectful and disgusting, but for me it was different.

The young masters father had given me permission to sleep in the same roof as the young master, I always get jealous eyes looking at me because Jeon Jinwoo favors me the most.

I stop on my tracks when I saw a flickering light coming from the young masters bedroom, Young master and I are connected, his holding my soul and he can end my life in an instant, young master knows where I go but he can't have any access to what I think and feel.

"young master must have probably waited for me...it he could be starving.."

Knock, Knock, knock

"young master, I have returned"

I said as I knocked on his wooden door, I took a step backward when I heard footsteps coming towards the door. "what took you so long?"Young master said, His gold eyes staring back at me.

I chuckle,"did you wait for me young master?" I said giving him a smile, even if there is a mask covering his face, I can imagine how he looked so flustered right now. "...prepare me my midnight snack...I'm...hungry"Young master said with his timid yet intimidating voice, He immediately looked away as soon as I made eye contact with him, I held back a smile when I saw how reddened his ears were.

"as you wish....young master"

|| TIME SKIP ||

"....young master?"

"what?"

"perhaps you want me to prepare your dinner instead of a snack?" I asked the young master, ever since I came back with his midnight snack, young master didn't seem to be quite satisfied with just eating cookies.

I heard a gulp from young master, "...the food the chef made...did not satisfy my hunger...."Young master said pushing the tray of cookies away, I chuckle.

"Have you taken a liking to my cooking young master?"

Young master nodded, "...your cooking is like magic....and I want meat"Young master said looking at me with a pleading expression, I couldn't help it, I started to laugh in a not mocking way.

"I shall prepare you your dinner"

"m--"

"and yes, meat"

I said, our eyes were glued to one another, I still do wonder why they find the young master horrible?, they always assumed the worst possible out of him but Young master is kind yet his cold, He kills yet in a gentle way, no one knows him the way I do.

Young master is always misunderstood.

||AUTHOR POV. || NEXT DAY ||

"an invitation?"Jungkook said to his royal servant who nodded as a response,
"indeed, the demon Prince is said to be welcomed by organizing a welcome gala for him inside the castle"Seokjin said, telling him from what he understood and heard from the people in the city. Jungkook cracked his neck and puts the letter back inside the black letter, "it also mentioned, 'Personally invited by the Prince'....which I assumed that he wants me to go to his lousy ball?"Jungkook said in a mockingly voice, Seokjin only stood there as he listened to his young masters negative feed back to the invitation.

"It might be a great opportunity young master"

Jungkook pause and glance at Seokjin before crossing his arms, "explain" Jungkook said with his stern voice, Seokjin nodded and brought out the papers Jungkook and his father has been working on for 3 years already but it has been rejected many times, it was a project his father decided to make, a job where humans can apply and make a living for themselves without stealing, Jungkook only took little part on it since He never have any interest in the world of business.

"the demon prince was basically known to take part in large projects, He was also witness to have human friends...so if we could befriend the young Prince and we take the opportunity to talk to him about the project you and your father has been doing for 3 years...He might lend us a helping hand"Seokjin said which caught Jungkook's attention, He nodded in approval.

"you always have your ways...we shall go to the ball tomorrow night and inform my father about your plan"Jungkook said as he stood up from his seat, Seokjin bows down and excused himself.

Once the door was shut close, Jungkook stood in front of his book shelf and pulled the hidden lever inside the lamp that was glued on the wall, the shelf itself split into two as a room filled with nothing but books and a small wooden chest that was place on top of the table appeared in front of him.

Jungkook opens the small chest to reveal a glowing blue orb, this glowing blue orb was Seokjins soul, kept inside a secured hidden room inside his bedroom.

"His life...is mine...body and soul..."
