Haneul had felt a very overwhelming feeling of anger surge up at the sight in front of him. So, without thinking he made his way towards the trio forcefully pulling Chang-ho out of the grasp of that brute, glaring at him.
Unfortunately for him, Haneul wasn't the type who thought rationally when in anger.
So, his hold tightened excessively on Chang-ho’s wrists when he saw the Younger one squirming in fear, trying to get back closer to the peasant.
Daichi had obviously noticed that and having the best interest for the younger, his anger also suddenly flared up.
" Let him go, " he said in an authoritative manner.
Haneul scoffed "and who are you to give me others?"
Daichi who was expecting that remark nonchalantly replied
" Ah Hyung seriously I don't think father would be happy to know that you are disregarding my position and title."
Haneul gritted his teeth.
He hated him as he had always. Daichi and him were actually half-brothers, he was a result of the king’s numerous nights spent messing about with his numerous concubines or how Haneul called them ...his many prostitutes
What was worse is that the king seemed to harbour special feelings for his illegitimate son. He had also asked the boy to move into the palace, fortunately the boy had refused the offer preferring to stay in his house.
Haneul had never actually been too bothered about his existence even though he never accepted the concept of them being brothers.
Plus, barely anyone knew about his existence; but having him here making threats drove him crazy.
Absolutely mental.
After a few seconds of intense glares Haneul relented his hold on the younger one , not because Daichi asked but because he didn't mean to hurt him, he was just really riled up inside.
Haneul was really pissed but he didn't want to scare Chang-ho any further, so he decided to leave for now . He'd be sure to continue the conversation with Daichi later when Chang-ho wouldn't be able to see him nor hear them.
" Chang-ho let's go" he ordered before turning back before he did something stupid.
Chang-ho looked at Daichi apologetically knowing he couldn't disobey his commands. He also looked back at Taehyung hesitantly before quickly waving goodbye.
Daichi smiled back "don't worry too much we'll see each other again".
*Chang-ho P.O.V *
I was still in daze when I felt myself being yanked back at an incredible strength. I was really startled but once I saw who the cause was of it, I froze.
It was Haneul and he looked really mad. I tried to avoid eye contact not wanting to offend him.
I felt really uneasy once they started talking as the atmosphere around the room changed, the tension was almost palpable.
What confused me the most was that Daichi called him hyung? And he talked about "father" ? It almost sounded like the two of them knew each other.
It was weird and I kept getting confused.
It didn't help that Haneul's grip was literally squeezing my wrist away, I was sure it was going to get bruised really bad.
I tried to wriggle out, but it was to no avail.
Fortunately, Haneul let me go soon enough but he ordered me to leave with him.
I really didn't want to. I was finally having fun....
But there isn't much that I can do right now. So, I turned to Daichi silently apologizing for the commotion. I also waved at Taehyung, at first, I didn't find him to be amicable, but I figured that's just his personality.
I am now heading out of the party following Haneul close, I just hope that my punishment won't be too bad.
