@♟ Jungkook "About two days..." The younger replied and Siwon broke his gaze from the cabinets. He had forgotten why he had been sitting idly. The prince stood up silently but smiled nonetheless at the boy who continued his sentence. Siwon watched the boy pour hot water onto the cups. He pulled out chopsticks out of nowhere (from his view), before lifting all of it. He started to move out of the room, and Siwon was confused, Well maybe they were gonna eat outside, he could've eat standing, it would be fine for him.
The latter moved out of the room and the prince followed slowly, He had checked his phone again and found numerous calls from the Palace's Eunuch. It was a good thing that he had silenced his phone before playing golf, or else the Palace would've tracked him by now.
He texted the Eunuch and told him that he would arrive home late because of an urgent meeting with a friend, in which the Eunuch replied; "Yes, Jeonha". With that, the Prince followed suit, he was expecting a nice chat with the boy before he would face the reality outside.
@♚ Siwon Jungkook listened to the other ask him a question and he started thinking how many days had he been here now. It wasn't much but he wasn't sure because it felt like time was moving by slower here. " About two days... " He nodded and smiled slightly. " Not long but I was living better at home than here... " He added and looked at the water as it started boiling. He then took the kettle and poured some hot water into the cups and took the kettle back on the stove turning it off. He then went to get two pairs of chopsticks from the drawers. At least they were clean ones in plastic wrappers but they were not good ones either. They broke too easily when used. He then took the cups and motioned for the other to follow him to his room since they didn't have even a small table in the kitchen.
@♟ Jungkook The pair had walked into the kitchen and Siwon observed the place slowly. This is what people in the lower class live by. It was far more different that what they had at the palace, but he wasn't judging. This seemed cozier, the palace seemed intimidating at times but it does have its moments.
The scholar started to prepare their food and the prince examined the fridge, it had different foods and beverages. What intrigued him the most was some plastic containers that probably had food in them. When he opened one, the smell hit him hard and he had to close the fridge fast before he suffocated, it was probably soiled.
He sat at the nearby chair and waited for the other to finish cooking. The prince watched cautiously as the other waited for the water to boil.
"How long have you been living here?" The prince asked as he stared at the cabinets hanging from the wall. Some of the things inside were rusty, this dorm was probably old as himself.
@♚ Siwon " O-oh... Okay then... " Jungkook nodded and opened the door holding it open for the prince waiting for him to get in before he closed it and led the way to the dorms kitchen as they didn't have their own. The kitchen was plain simple and there was one slightly rusted fridge and a freezer and a small counter with an old oven next to it. He went to a cabinet and took out a few cup ramens before pouring some water on a kettle placing it on the stove turning it on to make the water boil. He was embarrassed of the dorm he lived in and the way the cooking must look like in the olders eyes. He blushed slightly because of it and turned to look at the other as he leaned on the counter waiting for the water.
@♟ Jungkook "But are you sure..." The Prince could smirk at the youngers reaction.
"commoner's dorm...?" Were the only words that he heard.
"It's cold, can we go inside?" The prince stated, it didn't matter to him as long as there was food, it wasn't for his benefit but for Jungkook's he knew that the younger was hungry.
@♚ Siwon " But are you sure you are okay with coming into the commoners dorm? " He asked a little unsurely from the older. He knew his dorm isn't big and so is not his room either and it is a lot different from the royal dorm as well. He was also wondering why the prince wanted ramen instead if just eating all the luxurious food he had been used to. And mostly because he wanted a bowl of ramen for payment on everything he helped him with.
@♟ Jungkook He smirked as he watched the other stutter and look back at him.
"Y-you want ramen? Nothing else? Just ramen?" He bit his lower lip and the prince chuckled.
"I guess I could make some for you..." He trailed on as he smiled back at him. It seemed like a long time when he saw the other smile. It made him feel at ease.
@♚ Siwon Jungkook heard what the other said and blinked. Ramen? Why would a prince want ramen? He turned around and looked at the other confusedly tilting his head. " Y-you want ramen? Nothing else? Just ramen? " He bit his lower lip and nodded. " I guess I could make some for you... " He answered and smiled slightly.
@♟ Jungkook "You won't probably come inside at all so..." The prince averted his gaze from the building to Jungkook and watched him slightly act like child in front of him.
"Thank you I guess... I am sorry for crying like that.... I've been bullied before" Then again why are you apologizing? The prince thought, he had nothing to be sorry for. He should be the one apologizing, it weren't for him the other would have been bullied free.
" but I was never told to go and die..... " He didn't heard someone say that a while ago. Whoever that maybe, he would pay for it.
" And about my brother... He was always there for me when anything like that happened but he... H-he died in a car accident. It was a shock for me... And now that I was reminded of him again... I feel happy there was someone like him in this school even if it's just once... Thank you for helping with the golf, for bying me food and for taking me away from there... " He said and nodded before walking towards the door silently after bowing to the prince.
The Prince stood there just talking it all in, now he knew the scholar's secret, and he wasn't intending to let the other go that easily.
" You won't probably come inside at all so... " He said and looked at the dorm as it looked a lot different from the other ones. He then looked at the other again and smiled slightly. " Thank you I guess... I am sorry for crying like that... I've been bullied before but I was never told to go and die... " He said a little shakily. " And about my brother... He was always there for me when anything like that happened but he... H-he died in a car accident. It was a shock for me... And now that I was reminded of him again... I feel happy there was someone like him in this school even if it's just once... Thank you for helping with the golf, for bying me food and for taking me away from there... " He said and nodded before walking towards the door silently after bowing to the prince.
