" Your Majesty, Minister Byun asked to speak with you" The courtmen said bowing to the King

Before the King could respond, the minister barge inside the King's court "Let me fvcking In!"

The King watch the sight of the Minister barking like a dog, desperate to speak with him. "let him"

The guards let go of the Minister's arms and quickly walk towards the King's throne bowing.

As an acknowledgement the King stood up and place his foot above the Minister's head, making his head hit the ground " You should bow a bit more "

"The Yangban classes my King, they started a protest against the monarch, they don't obey me anymore, they wanted to be dropped out!" The Minister said not minding the pressure that was given from his head.

In anger, the King kick the minister from the ground, making him hiss in pain. "You're Useless! Stupid! A rascal! You don't deserve the rank that I've given you!". Every word hits a slap on the Minister's face making him frown in anger.

"I didn't owe you my position, you take my body, my loyalty and my service for years, isn't it just fair?" The Minister Talk back to the King making him pulled his sword.

" DO IT! And you will never find all the evidences that i have against you" The minister chuckled as the blade was about to slit his throat.

The King hold his grip to the sword making the Minister laugh at his weakness. " See, I'm not useless. Make sure that you treasure ones that is beneficial for you " Minister Byun stood up from the ground and place a peck on the King's cheek.

" What do you want this time? " Calmly asked by the King, making the minister smile in return

"I don't want to be in the Yangban class anymore, I wanna work here, in the castle, with a very high rank of course" The minister stated making the King curse at him in return.

" You're really a psychopath! but since i leave you ni choice, i will do it as you please and give me all the evidences in return" The King stated walking back to sit on his throne.

"Ah wait... There's something more that i need..."

The King sighed on the Minister and let him speak.

" Did you know the Yangban that i Currently talk about? " The Minister asked.

" I heard that he got relieved from the service, what do you want to do then? "

"Recently i have found out that he's into Gisaeng Houses, and was into a male young boy, i want you to help me find him" The Minister stated making the King smile in return.

" Does this Yangban caúght your interest most, break your heart and you decided to punish his lover in return? " The King chuckled as he sip on his tea.

" Kinda. And that Yangban also has to do with you and the monarch, so need to summon him in no time"

The King quickly nod, agreed to what the minister is planning " Sometimes you're quite useful."

"Master Yeonjun! Master Choi!" A Kisaeng barged into the Gisaeng house making the visitors and Yeonjun shocked.

Yeonjun saw the young lady with blood on her dress, and a bit of her messy hair. " Ms. Yang what happened?"

"Leave now, all of you leave this house now! leave no tracks, no evidences no drinks nor food! leave! " The Kisaeng hysterically shouted making the visitors frown in confusion.

" Ms Yang! Please stop, stop calm down... please care to tell me what's  happening? " Yeonjun grab the young lady to stop her from aggressively screaming.

" The King's order was out today, All Kisaengs, Visitors and Gisaeng House masters will be punished, they already take down 3 Gisaeng Houses on the mainland, we need to move now before they caught us!" The lady stated as she was crying ugly on Yeonjun's grip.

The visitors quickly barged to leave the house as well as the ladies, who were in hurry to escape. 

"Ms. Yang  tell the other ladies to burn all of the transaction papers now, and escape as early as now. We will handle the rest here." Yeonjun quickly stated and the Kisaeng did everything he ordered.

Yeonjun quickly enter the kitchen in rush pulling Beomgyu in a firm grip, " Hyung? why do you look so— "

" Listen, destroy everything here in the kitchen, empty all the gallons of wine, don't leave any traces behind, quickly! " Yeonjun said in rush making Beomgyu confused

The older looked at his brother's eyes and he saw fear in it so he quickly pulled Beomgyu in a tight hug, "Just do what i asked, quickly. I'll explain everything later hmm" Yeonjun place a soft kiss on the younger's temple and quickly exited the kitchen.

This is it, the start of everything that Beomgyu is afraid of. Instead of overthinking, he quickly obey what Yeonjun ordered him.

He started to packed his herbs on a glass bottles, and burnt every single thing that he thinks useless to carry with. After that, He quickly lift gallons of the rice wine and release it into the sink, he make sure that the water is flowing with the wine so it won't leave a scent.

He moved inti the courtyard and quickly rushed into the fireplace, he burnt all the gallons and break all the glasses of beer into pieces.

The items quickly burnt and turn into ashes bit by bit, except for the glasses that only turns into black as it was heated.

Upon succes, Beomgyu rushed towards the chambers, he grab his things and packed it all in a cloth bag. Beomgyu open a secret drawer underneath his mattress, revealing a box of books that Taehyun owned and a pile of parchment paper that Minister Ki, gave him before.

While Beomgyu is busy doing some dishes, Minister Ki softly tap his shoulders from behind, " oh my- Minister! What can i do for you?"

The Minister just smile and handle him a box and a pile of papers that obviously he had no clue about. " pardon me minister but what is this? "

" You know that Taehyun is a bit rebellious, and i also want him to be safe on his journey. This box contains all the literature pieces that Taehyun had written, and this papers will be a great help for him in the near future. So please can you keep it for me? and give it to him soon? "

" Minister Ki, I don't understand, why don't you give it to him instead? I mean if this papers will be helpful for him, we should give it to him Right away? " Beomgyu asked nicely.

" No! not yet, you'll give it to him when the time is right. And i can't give it to him since I'll be gone far away soon. Can I count on you? You're the last person who i can lend my trust with"

" I-, I will make sure to keep it, Minister Ki."

Beomgyu quickly slid the box and paper inside his cloth bag. Right on time, Yeonjun was now on the door " Are you done? Let's go now Beomgyu" Beomgyu take a deep breath as he scan the room one more, he will definitely miss this chamber and the memories build within it.

Without further more dramas, Beomgyu nodded and walk closer to his brother. Yeonjun rub his brother's shoulders as a comfort and grab his hand gently, ready to escape.
