Royal Pleasures

Chapter 5: Leaving

Keru's POV

I opened my eyes. I fell asleep, while crying.

I felt someone brusing my hair. I sat on my bed and saw my brothers...all of them. Luhan ge was the one brushing my hair.

My eyes started to water again. "Luhan ge~" I said then I hugged him. "I'm sorry, I didn--"

"shhhhh, it's okay Keru...you didn't mean it. I know" Then I felt him smile. I sighed in relief. Thank god he's okay.

"you were awsome back there Keru" I broke the hug from Luhan ge when I heard that. Chen ge said that. "you have all our powers..." Xiumin ge commented. They all come near my bed

"your were great Keru..." Lay ge said then sat beside me

"I told you were powerful" Tao ge said smiling.

"I still hate it. I almost ki--"

"Keru, I already told you it's okay. Buhay pa ako oh" Luhan ge said.

"KAHIT NA! adik ka kasi, bakit mo kinuha yung kamay ko?!" I said at my gege while pouting. Pinitik niya naman yung nguso kong naka-pout.

"dont pout, di ka na baby" sabi ni Luhan ge.

"YAH! dont change the topic. Answer me ge, why did you do that?"

"because...hindi ko rin alam. All I know is I dont want you to hurt father. Keru, please understand him. He's like that because of mother's death. He's sad and depressed" Luhan ge said while playing with my hands.

"Keru, we all know that father is a good father right?" Xiumin ge said while giving off a small smile.

"remember when you were young? you loved father very much. you spend time with him alot. you used to be not only EXO M's princess...you used to be father's little princess" Lay ge said while looking at me straight in the eyes.

"it even came to an extent that mother became envious of father because you spend more time with him than with her" Chen ge said with a small laugh

"it did?" I asked.

"yup. we all know among all of us...your his favorite" Tao ge said. 

"I-i am?"w-why cant I feel it? h-hes so cold towards me.

"Keru...what do you think father feels now? his wife died. his favorite princess hates him. do you realize how hurt father could be now?" Luhan ge said. Do I hate him? I-i...I dont.....know "father may look tough and cold on the outside  but in the inside he could be dying because of loneliness."

"But still. Hindi niya ba naisip ang nararamdaman natin? na malungkot din tayo. Hindi lang siya ang nawalan ge. Tayo rin. We lost our beloved mother for godsake. Kung malungkot siya...ano pa tayo? He's our father, he should be caring and comforting us in our time of need, not pushing us away. He even wanted to give me away to another kingdom because he hates me!" Excuses. Lame excuses. Yung totoo Keru...yun ba talaga ang nararamdaman mo? Hindi ko alam. "sakin lang nalaman ata siya ganun eh. ever since--"

"KERU!" Tao ge scolded.

"Bakit ge? totoo naman ah? even since I go--"again my eyes got watery on the thought. Since that happened...father became so distant.
