Chapter XIV
"that was embarrassing..."
Seokjin mumbled while he washed the dishes along with an sigh that escaped his mouth, He was dying out of shame. "I can not believe young master saw me with my hair sticking out...."Seokjin mumbled as he scrubbed the plate violently without noticing it, when Seokjin was about to rinse the wet plate a scream was heard from the backyard.
"THIEF!!!! CATCH HIM!!!"
Seulgi yelled as she pointed towards a boy who was running away with the food he stole from Seulgi, "What's happening?!" Seokjin exclaimed, Seulgi immediately ran towards Seokjin and explained to him what happened.
"Do not tell this to the young master, I'll handle this myself" Seokjin said to Seulgi before running after the boy, He saw the boy hid behind the tree, Seokjin sigh and slowed his pace. "little boy...I will not ask you to return the food you stole but please stop hiding..."Seokjin said as he walk towards the tree slowly,"...HMPH!"The boy left his hiding place making Seokjin gasp in surprise.
"Soobin?!?"Seokjin exclaimed when the boy who he met last night was right in front of him, Soobin pouted as he ate the apple he stole from Seulgi."I heard your talk with Uncle Yoongi last night!!!" Soobin exclaimed to Seokjin who tense his shoulder, "geez...you heard that...you are a naughty brat are you not?" Seokjin said along with a chuckle, Soobin grin at him.
"TEACH ME HOW TO BE A PROFESSIONAL THIEF!!!!"
Soobin yelled excitedly, Last night, after he over heard the conversation between him and Yoongi, He decided that he wanted to polish his skills more and so he followed Seokjin last night and Soobin ended up at the Manor as he slept on the gardeners cottage that was filled with supplies.
Seokjin sigh heavily and put his hands on top of Soobin's shoulder, He shakes his head as a response. "absolutely not" Seokjin said and straighten up his body, Soobin gave him the look of disappointment, "..hmph...why?"
Soobin ask him, Seokjin chuckle and grabs him by his hand as he led Soobin back inside the kitchen so he could provide the child some food.
"did you really think stealing can make someone's life better?" Seokjin said to Soobin who did not hesitate to nod, "yeah...it is the only thing we lower class humans can do..stealing..."Soobin said as he looked around the kitchen, He sat down on the stool which Seokjin told him to sit on.
"did...Yoongi told you that?"He said and grabs a bowl and a plate, as he settled it down at the table in front of Soobin. He nodded, a frown appeared on Seokjins face, He did not want this child to end up living as a thief but what can he do? He can't do anything other than providing them food as he let them steal whatever they think it's good for them.
"...it smells...good"Soobin mumbled, He was watching how Seokjin poured the mushroom soup on the expensive bowl and some garlic bread to pair with the soup, Seokjin pour a glass of fresh cow milk in a glass of cup and place it beside Soobin's plate."dig in...I know your hungry...judging by how you gobble that apple you ate earlier" Seokjin said smiling gently at the hungry child who did not hesitate to take the spoon and ate his own fill, He was hungry and that apple didn't do anything for his growling stomach.
"....you look exactly how I live before...except I never had such experience to eat expensive food as a child...I stole what I see is agreeable to my eyes and sell them to illegal traders for food and money...."Seokjin thought as he watch Soobin with pity eyes, He sigh and got up from his seat when all of a sudden, the door swings open to reveal the young master.
Seokjin stated at the young master with wide eyes but the child did not care and ate his food,"y-young master...I can exp--"Seokjin was cut off when Jungkook walk pass him and sat in front of Soobin who stop eating, He gulped the bread down to his throat and gaze upon the masked man in front of him.
"....what?"
Soobin said in a disrespectful way, Seokjin gasp and was about to told him off but Jungkook raise his hand as a sign to stop Seokjin, He did not feel any anger towards the hungry child instead He felt the need to feed him more. Soobin reminded him of Seokjin for some odd reason, He then put his attention towards Seokjin.
"who is this child"
"young master...his name is Soobin...he lives in the slums..."Seokjin said with his calm voice and yet his heart panics, Jungkook came in the kitchen because he sensed another unfamiliar presence inside the manor and he had to see it for himself.
"slums you say?..."
Soobin stared at Jungkook then looked at him from head to toe before glancing at Seokjin, "Uncle Jin! He looks Shabby! what's with his mask?"Soobin exclaimed and pointed at Jungkook who suddenly grew irritated by his remark, Seokjin covered Soobin's mouth and carried him in one go.
"s-shall I give you a tour?" Seokjin said to Soobin who immediately got interested and nodded right away, Seokjin then glance at his young master who was at the verge of exploding.
"excuse us young master!"
Seokjin said and left the kitchen with Soobin, leaving the shaking Jungkook alone, Seulgi entered the kitchen with a smile but the moment she saw Jungkook, she back away in fear.
"y-y-young master?!?"
Jungkook then slam his hand against the table and glared at Seulgi.
"Do I look shabby to you?!?"
"YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY DROP DEAD GORGEOUS YOUNG MASTER!!!"
