"A Visit From A Friend"
Another good day at the Im residence. The maids are currently doing their chores around the house and so does the butlers. As usual, Yoona spent the day at the library, with Myungsoo joining her.
Yoona sat at an armchair next to the large window, reading a book.
Where is that book? Myungsoo pretended to walk around the library while occasionally glancing at Yoona, who is completely lost in her book.
Myungsoo walked to the shelf that’s nearest to the door and examined it. His fingers trailed the neatly arranged books. His fingers stopped at an old leather-covered book that seemed familiar to his eyes.
Myungsoo turned his head back again as he grabbed a random book. The book cover was made out of worn-out brown leather, a sign that the book had been used often.
This is it! This is the book! He smirked and grabbed the book. He looked over to Yoona who is still drowned in her own world.
“Queen of Autumn –the greatest treasure of all.”
The book said when he opened the book. Yep. This is it. This is really the book. He flipped the page over and found a poem, dedicated to the treasure. Maybe this will lead me to the treasure. He started to read the poem carefully.
When the autumnal equinox comes
Along with your happiness
The leaves turned golden brown
And diamonds twinkling from your crown
Myungsoo kept staring at the poem with a blank expression. Shoot. I forgot that I at riddles and poems and such. He sighed.
Yoona heard his sigh and she look up from her book to where Myungsoo is. “Is there something the matter?”
Myungsoo almost jumped from where he is, but he managed to refrain from doing so. He closed the book and said to her, “No. I was just… surprised.” he smiled as he put the book back to the shelf.
Yoona eyed the book he was holding. What was he reading? She wanted to ask, but she doesn’t want to sound like an overly curious person because she respects others’ personal space. So she swallowed all the questions she had in mind and continued to read her book.
The doorbell of the Im residence suddenly rang. The sound of the bell rang through the entire house.
“Seo, get that, would you?” Taeyeon ordered the maknae.
“O-okay unnie” she wiped her hands with a cloth and ran to the door. “W-who are you?” she said to the speaker.
“Lee Howon, a friend of Kim Myungsoo. He invited me here” the man answered.
“Oh, okay. Please wait for a moment” she then pressed a button and soon the large double gates opened.
“Thanks” the man replied before he walked to the mansion.
Yoona heard the doorbell sound all the way from the library and wondered to herself. Did someone came over? I wonder who. Her thoughts were cut off when Taeyeon came into the library. She bowed to her and tucked her hands nicely in front of her.
“Mr. Kim Myungsoo has a visitor, miss.”
