7 | Hot Kettle

WARNING: R-18

It was dawn and I couldn't sleep. My thoughts were all jumbled and the bed was too soft to sleep on. I cuddled with RaiYa's long sleeves and took a deep breath. His clothes smelled like charcoal and mint, it was his scent. My face flushed and I could feel my heart beat faster. Suddenly my p*nis hardened. It began to burn and throb in pain. I was afraid to touch it in case the pain might increase.

I grabbed the pot of water sitting next to the bed and lifted up the long robes exposing my entire bottom half. I poured the cold water on top of my p*nis hoping it would cool down, but it just throbbed and burned even more. My breathing starts to pick up its pace and it felt like I was suffering. Did I break my p*nis? How do I fix it? My vision began to blur with tears and saliva ran down the side of my mouth as I crouched in unbearable pain.

I wanted to call out for someone to help me, but I didn't want anyone to see me in this state. It was embarrassing. I put up with the throbbing heat and slowly fell asleep from exhaustion.

It was later in the day when I woke up and a new set of white robes were neatly folded on the bed. Immediately, I change into the new robes and folded RaiYa's borrowed clothing placing them on the bed. I've never really folded before, so it just looked like a scrunched up ball of cloth. I then wrapped bandages over my neck and eyes as I struggled a bit.

A servant walks in and tells me that Meiyi had ordered me to meet her as fast as possible. I walked down the corridors with a servant guiding me. I held one end of a stick while the servant held the other end. I bumped into several walls and tripped a couple times before entering in MeiYi's room.

"Must be nice being blind. You can't even tell when it's daylight or nighttime. You can get up at any time you want." Meiyi complained.

"I'm sorr-"

"Since you're going to stay in our family villa you will work like everyone else. My brothers will start discussing about military strategies and training soon. They don't laze around like you. Since you're blind, I'll give you an easy task. Every morning you will boil water and serve them green tea. Green tea is essential for their diet. They can't afford to be weak."

"Yes. Sister Mei-"

"Don't call me sister! You're not my brother and you'll never be my brother you dirty bastard!" Meiyi shouted in anger.

"M-my a-apologies. I'll do what you say Miss Yun."

As I walked out, MeiYi threw a ceramic cup at me hitting the back of my head. The cup shattered and I could feel a couple shards stick behind my head as warm blood began to seek through dripping down my neck to my back. There's probably red lines running down my newly bought clothes.

After removing the shards and dressing my wounds, the servant showed me around the kitchen and the location of the Yun brother's rooms. I had to quickly memorize the location of rooms, utensils, and ingredients for tomorrow.

The next day I began practicing how to boil water and mixing the green tea. I also memorized the location of the bedrooms. After a few more days it was time to serve the brothers their daily tea. I began with HuLang as I knocked on his door and entered. Slowly I took little steps as carefully as I could to not bump into things or fall.

"What are you doing here? Get out." HuLang sneered at me.

"M-miss Yun's orders were for me to serve you green tea every morning for a healthy diet." I replied as my hands trembled.

"Then leave it outside the door. I don't want to see your ugly face. It ruins my mood."

"Alright."

As quickly as I entered, I also left quickly. Next was NaiWei's room. I knocked on his door and entered, but unlike HuLang, NaiWei grabbed my tray of tea saving me the trip. As I walked out he whispers into my ear saying,

"I'll accept this morning routine since it's from my sister, but try to stay out of my sight as much as possible. I don't want to catch any weird disease or sickness from someone like you. I hope you at least washed your hands when you made our tea."

Pleasing these brothers was very hard. They always say mean and hurtful things to me and the meanest one of all was next. As I walk into RaiYa's room, I struggled to find the table and set the tray down. As I turn around to leave RaiYa says,

"Aren't you here to serve me tea? So why aren't you pouring it into a cup?"

"Ah oh. M-my a-apologies." I replied as I struggled to pour the tea in a cup.

"Stop it. You're just making a mess."

He grabs the cup out of my hands and I could hear him take a sip. A second later he pours the cup of hot tea on my face. I felt intense pain in my face as I cried out covering my face and crouching down.

"I've never been served tea this disgusting before. Did you put salt in it? Hold out your hands." RaiYa ordered.

My trembling hands leave my face as I hold out my hands with my palms up. He pours the kettle of tea over my hands, but I couldn't feel the pain. Even though I couldn't feel it, it doesn't mean they weren't burnt.

"Why aren't you crying out in pain? Your skin is peeling off and I can see the discolored area, but you didn't even flinch." RaiYa said coldly.

"I don't have any feelings in my hands and feet." I replied.

"Oh that's right. You said something like that before. You got off easy this time. Next time don't make another mistake otherwise I'll pour it elsewhere."

I return to my room, took off my eye bandages, and placed my hands in a pale of cold water for a long time. Looking down at my hands, I knew they were going to be scarred for life. Thinking back to when I was younger, RaiYa never really physically bullied me, but now he was leaving large scars on my body.

I should probably wrap my hands in bandages to hide the burn marks too. I don't want to look unsightly in front of them, since I already look ugly. Luckily the tea in the cup was light. I could still feel light pain in my face and the burn didn't look as bad as my hands. Hopefully it doesn't leave any scars.

Every day I served them tea and every time they said hurtful words or they would beat me. Sometimes MeiYi would order me to wash their feet, but they would either try to drown me or pour the water over me. I was only doing things I was ordered to, but the harassment never stopped. I wondered for how long they will keep treating me like this.

I just wanted to be accepted and liked by them. I did everything they wanted, so why do they still treat me differently? I just couldn't understand. If I'm a 'good boy' won't good things happen? Does this mean I'm not being good enough? The moment I entered my room, my knees dropped and tears fell from my face as I wondered what I could do better for them to accept me.
