The Canvass and The Ball Section 3 - Chapter 12 Page 6/?
The Canvass and The BallContinuation...............................Reality is, sometimes when you give, you expect something in return - regardless in what way....
Outside, Taemin closes his eyes, struggling to keep a lid on his triggering fear.
He has to calm down.
There has to be a way to compose himself.
The sound of his pulses thundering in his ears.
His lungs feels as if they are about to explode.
He raises his left hand to his heaving chest.
Though, he has readied himself of upcoming situations may occur however, seeing how Minho is so close and comfortable with his beloved cousin somehow shocks him.
It hurts.
Deeply hurts – that, he weeps saying…
“I need to get used to this…
I have to…
Aaahhh…
Reality does hurt…
Why fate let me be Key’s cousin…
Damn so unfair…”
Meanwhile, inside the room, Key and Minho are not finished with their own play of power struggle.
“YYYAAAHHH….
MMMIINNHHOO…
LLEETT GO OF MEE…!”
Minho happy for his victory says…
“Only in one condition…”
Key sighs on a retreating voice responds…
“So you have a plan all along…Cheater…”
“(shakes his head) No…no…
I just thought of it now…”
“Okay…
You win this time…
Spit it out…
Quick…
What do you want…?”
“No backing out…alright…
Gentlemen’s agreement…”
“(nods repeatedly) Yeah…yeah…Fine…
What is your condition…”
“(no hesitating, says) Let’s play…
Master and Servant…for a month…”
“WWWHHHAATT…!
ARE YOU CRAZY…?”
“You heard me…
No need to say it again…
And am not crazy…
I know exactly what am doing…”
Much as he wants to bang Minho’s head, he could not, ends up whining his dislike of agreeing to the other’s silly caprice…
“You sneaking little frog Minho…
(takes a long deep breath)
Fine…so I am the servant…
When is the starting day…tomorrow…?”
“(nods) Yap…BUT…!”
“(whines) Not again…Minho…
What more…?”
“I am the Slave and you are the Master…
(finally releases Key)…Got it…?!”
Key finally able to free himself collapses at Minho’s statement.
Once he feels strong enough, he rolls his body next to Minho asking…
“What the heck is that kind of game…?
Normally the winner should be the master…
Why the slave…?”
“My Game…
My rules…he he he…
(making a wide silly grin)
And this is how I would like it to be…”
“(Creasing his eyebrows)
Wait hold on…
Can I trust this game of yours cause I smell
something fishy…
Why a change…?”
Moves towards the side of the bed and sits Indian-style facing Minho with his face resting on his right hand then supported by his right leg.
“(open palm Key) Let me finish…”
“Okay…Say it...”
“Of course you can trust this game…
It is very simple…
Here is how it is going to be…
The Servant should, must and always be at
the Master side 24 hours a day…”
Key after hearing Minho’s explanation gawks at him; not a single word comes out of his mouth - and stays in his condition for about several seconds; until Minho comes closer at Key to close his mouth and breaks the stare.
“Oooiii….Key…
Don’t start an in-house waterfall…
Ooooiii…wake up…”
Key at last comes back to his senses, shakes his head uttering…
“Can I collapse in my bed and forget the
whole depressing mess of this life has become…?”
Minho whines like a kid…
“Aaaaiii…yyyyaaahh…
Key…A game is a game…
I won square and fare…”
“(stares in a frustrated manner at Minho)
I should be happy am the master but with
the kind of rule you want, I don’t think
I should be looking forward to a good
masterful life…
Aaaassshhh…
It is more like you will have to stay here for
one month…”
“(gladly replies) Oh Yes…”
“My only freedom from your sight is to pee and poo…”
“Hhhmmm...
Well maybe a yes or a no…”
“What a yes or a no…”
“Well…what if you get sick in one month,
I can accompany you to pee and poo…”
“(holds his head in dismay)
Oh my good heavens, so you’d wish for me
to get sick for you to finally fulfill
your 24-hour duty of being with me…
Ayayayyaa…
So what if Park comes to visit me…
What will you do…?”
