Haechan's Pov.
Me and some of the hyungs are doing our chores for today.
While I was placing the rocks on the garden, I saw Renjun stomping his way to get the water hose.
Renjun is here.
Jeno is here.
But where is Jaemin?
I dusted my gloves off and walked towards Renjun.
" Yah! Renjun, where is Na Jaemin?" -Haechan
" oh Jaemin? Um... he is upstairs." -Renjun
Renjun said stretching his arms before bending down to get the water hose.
" what is he doing there?" -Haechan
" he is trying to open Hae-" -Renjun
He suddenly stopped talking.
" trying to open what?" -Haechan
" trying to open... U-um, t-the... T-the... Jaemin's room, his room. Jaemin was trying to open it since it was lock." -Renjun
" it's lock?" -Haechan
" y-yeah. It was. And can you stop asking, I got to do the chores." -Renjun
Renjun said as he walked away with the hose.
Something is fishy.
" hey Haechan." -Ten
I jumped a bit when I felt Ten hyung placed his palm on my shoulder.
" woah, you might be thinking that deep for you to be suprised because of me. Anyways. I found a fish seller in the market!" -Ten
I scoffed.
" of course, there is a fish seller in the market." -Haechan
" no, not that fish seller. Like the fish seller who sells fish for not eating." -Ten
I processed what Ten hyung said and realized.
" oh... That fish seller. Alright, what is up with it?" -Haechan
Ten hyung suddenly showed me a fish in a plastic bag.
That explains the fishy smell.
" I bought this, so I can take care of it. All I need to do is to find a tank filled with water or a pond. So do you know any pond or tank around here?" -Ten
A thought popped up in my mind.
" I do know one." -Haechan
" where? So I can put the fishy there." -Ten
" in the toilet." -Haechan
I chuckled which made Ten hyung hit my arm.
" stop that, I am being serious here." -Ten
" alright, alright. There is this small fish pond in the garden. You can place that fish there." -Haechan
He rolled his eyes before walking to the garden.
I looked around and noticed that Jaemin is still not here.
Where might that guy be?
I ran towards the palace and immediately walked to my room.
And there I found Jaemin.
" Jaemin?" -Haechan
Jaemin looked to me and stopped what he was doing.
He was trying to open my room.
" u-uhh... Haechan. W-what are you d-doing here?" -Jaemin
" I should be the one who should ask that to you, Na Jaemin. What are you doing here? Why are you trying to get in my room? Huh?" -Haechan
I said as I pushed him.
" well, I am trying to get Gaeun out." -Jaemin
My eyes widened.
" yes. I know that you were the one who took Gaeun. Do you know what you are doing Lee Donghyuck?! Are you out of your mind?!" -Jaemin
" don't you dare tell the hyungs." -Haechan
" why if I did, what will you do?" -Jaemin
" you will regret it." -Haechan
I then remembered something making me smirk.
" and Gaeun does not want for the other hyungs to know that she is still here. Right Gaeun?" -Haechan
I turned to look at the door of my room.
" Jaemin... Just go." -Gaeun
Jaemin looked back at me.
" why are you doing this to her?" -Jaemin
" easy, because... I love her. And I do not want Taeyong hyung to take her away from me." -Haechan
I started to push Jaemin away.
" Gaeun-ah." -Jaemin
" Jaemin, just go. It is okay." -Gaeun
" but-" -Jaemin
" Jaemin. Please. Do not tell your hyungs." -Gaeun
Jaemin looked at the door before looking back at me.
He did not say a word and ran down the stairs.
My fist clenched as I look back at my room's door.
I took my key and shoved it on the key hole before opening the door.
" what are you trying to do huh?" -Haechan
" trying to get out of your room and ran away." -Gaeun
She said confidently.
" well, since almost all the maknaes know that you are here." -Haechan
I grabbed her arm causing her to whine.
" I am going to move you to a place where they can not find you." -Haechan
I looked around before pulling her to a room.
" let go of me!" -Gaeun
She tried to kick and push me but she failed to.
The two of us arrived inside the room.
I pushed her inside and locked the door behind me.
" didn't I told you to stop trying on escaping from my room?!" -Haechan
" I don't care. I want to get out of here!" -Gaeun
I was about to answer her when I heard somebody called my name.
" Haechan-ah! Dinner is ready! Come on!" -Kun
I looked back at Gaeun.
" be quiet." -Haechan
I walked outside before closing the door and locking it.
I was feeling sad because Gaeun can not go with us.
She does not want to be seen by the other hyungs so I have to keep her.
I do not want Taeyong hyung or even the others to see her.
And I do not want them to get her from me.
I am just doing this to protect her.
Protect her from being hurt again.
Dining room...
I walked in the dining room and saw all of them were there.
I saw an empty seat and sat there.
I sat beside Renjun and he looked at me before moving his chair a little bit closer to Jaemin's.
And I can feel that the two of them are glaring at me.
I looked at Renjun and Jaemin.
" what?!" -Haechan
They did not answer me and just look back at each other.
" oh all of you are here?" -samchon
All of us looked at samchon and nodded.
He sat on the table and all of us prayed before eating.
The maids placed the bowl of foods in the table and we started to eat.
" so are you ready for tomorrow, Taeyong-ah?" -samchon
Taeyong hyung nodded.
" aren't you excited?" -samchon
Taeyong hyung looked up at samchon and just smiled.
" kind of." -Taeyong
I heard him sigh.
