Royal Secret Tales (Where Your Eyes Linger AU) (Completed)

Chapter 2

 "Secretary... let's go" Tae Joo said, Kang Gook was standing but it was like he was sleeping so the prince repeated his line once again and a little louder than the previous time, this time Kang Gook heard that and looked at the prince

"yes your highness." Kang Gook said, Tae Joo smiled and shook his head, then he started walking away, Kang Gook quickly followed him, as they went out Kang Gook asked:

"Your highness... I think that you should wear something... it's too cold"

Tae Joo stopped all of a sudden and glared at him

"You think? You aren't paid to think, you're supposed to help me... not to order" Tae Joo said with a really itimidating tone

"I'm really sorry your highness, I'm just worried..." Kang Gook replied looking at the ground, Tae Joo smiled and ruffled his hair

"I know... I know... I was just trying to understand what kind of person you are Kang Gook, I believe that I should trust my secretary right? But I'm pretty sure that you're a really loyal officer, let's go Kang Gook, you were right... it's pretty cold today..." Tae Joo said as he started walking to reach his room. After a few minutes they finally went back to the prince's quarters

"Oh, votre altesse! I'm really glad to see you again, are you ready for your next lesson?" a really weird guy said, Kang Gook instictively jumped in front of the prince trying to protect him, he then looked at the guy in the room more carefully, he was wearing a light blue jacket and his pants made he look pretty slim, he had blue eyes and blond hair, surely not the typical guy you find in the streets of Joseon.

"Calm down secretary, Jean Baptiste is a guest, a really special guest..." Tae Joo said, Kang Gook bowed and replied

"I'm really sorry, I didn't know sir."

"no problem mon ami... so, votre altesse, may we start the lesson?" Jean Baptiste asked, Tae Joo nodded and followed him, Kang Gook remained in the office while the prince and his guest disappeared behind a door of a nearby room.

Kang Gook waited for a while waiting for something to happen

"Do you want a cup of tea, secretary?" a servant asked, Kang Gook nodded, when the servant arrived with the cup, another guy arrived as well

"You must be the new secretary" the guy said

"Yes, how may I help you sir?" Kang Gook asked after putting his cup on the desk

"Where is his highness?" the guy asked

"He is busy at the moment."

"I asked where he is"

"I'm sorry sir, but may I ask you who you are?" Kang Gook asked with a much more serious tone

"I'm Ji Tae, and don't try to use that tone with me secretary, or do I have to remind you that you're just an officer and I'm a nobleman? I won't ask you again, where is Tae Joo!?" Ji Tae asked irritated

"What's going on? Ji Tae! Don't talk like that to my secretary! It was my fault, I forgot to tell him that you were coming, forgive me sweetie" Tae Joo said as he got out of the room where he was with the french guy and kissed his cheek, Ji Tae rapidly blushed and covered his cheek, Tae Joo looked at Kang Gook who seemed perplexed and added

"Oh, as you probably already noticed Kang Gook, I like... ummm... I like to show my affection... it was like that with my dear mum as well" Tae Joo said smiling and then went back to the other room, this time followed ny Ji Tae too.

Kang Gook went closer to the door and tried to hear what they were doing

"Ji Tae, you must listen to this! Jean Baptiste brought some new music sheets, there is an incredible sonata and... and... Ji Tae? Are you alright?" Tae Joo said, at first he was incredibly excited but the joy in his tone rapidly faded

"There are some problems... and rumors as well... I believe that you should go out and check..." Ji Tae replied

"I don't understand.... What are you talking about?"

"I actually don't know... this might just be rumors... but it looks like the members of the Cho clan are organizing something..."

"You don't have to worry about that... those are probably just rumors, just think about the party that we're going to attend tonight! We will have fun and you will forget this thoughts, ok honey?" Tae Joo sad softly

"I... I think that you might be right... well... you were talking about a sonata... so, are you going to play or do I have to wait until your fortepiano gets out of tune by itself?"
