Chapter 3

The Slave

 The fear grew on the little boy more and more, as he touched her cold-like-ice face. He anxiously waited for someone telling him that she would be alright. He looked over the servants’ faces, and saw the worry in their eyes.

- Call doctor now. Right now – Mrs. Kang shouted at other servants – Someone brings me hot water and a towel

They nodded and rushed downstairs to make a call for private doctor of Lee family. Taemin stood still at the corner of Sulli’s room, while everyone rushed in and out the room busily. He didn’t any word since that, just kept on looking at Sulli’s pale body. Mrs. Kang looked over the boy standing in the corner of the room with his hands trembling. His eyes almost grew moist, and his face showed the fear that she hadn’t ever seen before on his face.

- She will be alright, Young Master – Mrs. Kang said and patted his shoulder, gave a tender look

- Really? – his face brightened

- She will. All of us should pray god bless her – she said – You should go back to your room, I need to help her change her clothes.

Taemin nodded, and Mrs. Kang slightly pushed the boy out of the room, and closed it. Taemin turned his back to look at Sulli to convince himself that she was and would be still there. The boy started to regret playing his stupid prank on her. He just wanted to play around and pissed her off. If he knew everything turned this bad, he hadn’t done this.

 The noisy morning had wakened Mrs. Lee up. She went out and saw everyone running back and forth in hurry. She sensed something bad happened. She asked a servant and knew about Sulli’s thing. She went downstairs and saw Taemin sitting quietly in the big couch. She sat next to him, but it looked like he didn’t notice her presence.

  • What are you thinking about so deeply? – Mrs. Lee said   
  • Huh, mom? – he said

At that time, doctor came out from Sulli’s room. Taemin jumped off from the couch at living room, and rushed to him.

- Is … is she alright? – he asked while looking at him as if he’s begging a yes

- She’s alright now, but she’s still very weak, need to be in care. It would be impossible if no one find her out a few minutes later. Please take a good care of her – the doctor said

- Yes, we will. We appreciate your help very much. – Mrs. Lee said

Mrs. Lee stared at Taemin surprisingly due to his anxiety. She wondered why Taemin suddenly cared for Sulli so much. She sensed this thing related to Taemin. She hoped Taemin was not the reason.

  • Why are you so anxious about this thing? – Mrs. Lee looked at him
  • I … I … just …- Taemin looked around to avoid his mom’s look
  • Just what Taeminie? I hope you’re not the reason of this. – she said
  • No … I … I just care for my friend. – Taemin stammered
  • When had she become your friend? Last time, you said you never get along with her – his mom questioned
  • Um… Since last night – he bit his lips before replying
  • Really? I hope it’s true – she smiled and stared at her son with doubt look
  • Yeah, we … we did – Taemin tried to convince his mom to believe in him
  • I’ll ask her later when she’s awake – Mrs. Lee said

The nervous grew in his mind. He’s afraid what if his mom knew about this thing. She’s gonna punish him very hard. He thought there was no way Sulli would conceal his fault because he’d tricked her, and did something terrible to her. Sulli would take this chance to get revenge on him. And his mom’s gonna punish him hard and strictly.

Mrs. Lee felt her son acting weird. The previous day, he said he would never get along with a poor brat like Sulli, but then they became friends. Was it too fast to change his mind? And what made him be nice to Sulli. Mrs. Lee didn’t believe his words; she would meet Sulli and ask about this.

A voice from upstairs disturbed their conversation.

  • Mrs. Lee, young master, Sulli has just awakened – Mrs. Kang said
  • Let’s go and see her – Mrs. Lee asked Taemin to company with her
  • I … um … - he hesitated because he didn’t want his mom to see Sulli
  • What’s wrong, Taeminie? Don’t you want to see your friend? – Mrs. Lee said while emphasizing “friend” word
  • Of … of course, mom – he forced a smile

They went to Sulli’s room, and saw Sulli sitting on the bed with her pale exhausted face, and being feed some food by Mrs. Kang. As the little girl saw Mrs. Lee, she tried to get up from her bed and bowed Mrs. Lee, but it failed because she’s too weak to stand on her own legs.

  • It’s alright, you’re still weak, no need to do it – Mrs. Lee

She glanced over and saw Taemin standing next to Mrs. Lee, she smiled at him, but he didn’t see it because he’s busy to eye on the ground. He didn’t dare to look at her, he felt guilty whenever seeing her sick face.

  • The weather was very cold, why did you sneak out to garden last night? – Mrs. Lee asked her while sitting next to her on her small bed
  • I was finding … opps – the little girl realized she shouldn’t say it to Mrs. Lee, she quickly covered
  • What’s wrong, Sulli? What were you finding? – she asked

Sulli remembered Temin’s words last night that she couldn’t tell it to Mrs. Lee or else he would be punished hard. Sulli looked at Taemin who standing nearby the door and staring her back. He shook his head, and bit the lips as begging her not to tell his mom. Then she looked at back to Mrs. Lee who waiting for her answer. The little girl bit her small fingers while tried to find a good excuse to cover for Taemin.

  • I … I’m … finding the necklace of … - Sulli kept biting her fingers when she felt nervous or lied
  • Whose necklace? – Mrs. Lee asked again

Taemin closed his eyes hard and bit his lips hard. He thought he’s gonna die this time, and waiting for death sentence from Sulli.

  • My mom’s necklace – Sulli replied and looked at Mrs. Lee nervously

Taemin opened his eyes wide as hearing Sulli’s answer, she didn’t tell his name. “Did I misheard?” the boy thought

  • That … that’s the gift … from my mom… It … it’s very important to me, I lost it last day -  Sulli thanked God that he gave her a smart brain
  • Really? Haiz … I know it’s important to you, but the weather was too cold to go out last night. It almost killed you. Next time, please, think about your safe before doing anything. Don’t be silly, Sulli – Mrs. Lee patted Sulli’s head
  • I’m sorry – Sulli said
  • You made us worried to death. Young master is very worried about you. He’s the first one seeing you lying in the garden – Mrs. Kang added

Sulli looked at Taemin who felt guilty inside, and gave him a sweet smile.

  • I think you need rest. I’m leaving for work trip now; I think I won’t be back in a few weeks.  – Mrs. Lee said to Sulli and Mrs. Kang
  • Mom, work again? – Taemin whined
  • Just a few weeks. You can stay at home and play with your new friend until I come back – she said to Taemin, and turned her eyes to Sulli
  • Okay …  - the boy sighed

Mrs. Lee asked Mrs. Kang to help her pack her luggage for the trip. They left 2 kids in the room alone. Taemin felt awkward to stay alone with Sulli. The guilty grew on over his mind. He scratched his head and tried to find some way to start a conversation

  • I … I … - he hesitated and was about to say apology
  • I’m sorry – Sulli said it first
  • Huh? – he looked at her with his widen eyes
  • I tried my best but I couldn’t find your necklace – Sulli’s eyes grew moist – Will you ask your mom to kick me out because I couldn’t find … 
  • I changed my mind, I’ll forgive you this time – Taemin relief that he didn’t want to admit his fault, and said with his loud voice
  • Really? – Sulli smiled with tear drops on her face
  • But from now on, you have to follow my words, be my loyal servant – the boy turned evil again
  • Thank you, Taemin. Yes, I will – Sulli said
  • I can’t call my name like that. It’s rude. I’m your master, call me Young Master – Taemin commanded

Since that day, they became friends, no, more exactly the relationship between “Master and Slave”. Let’s see what’s waiting for their relationship.
