Chapter: Broken Trust

It is a usual morning for everyone but except for Do Yun and Han Gyeol. From what Han Gyeol had heard from Min Jong last night makes him even more curious about Do Yun...

"Master! Master!..." Min Jong ran to Han Gyeol who was again standing on the edge of the terrace of the hotel.

He was panting, and to catch his breath he bent and put his hands on his knees.

"What happened?" Han Gyeol asked showing his back to Min Jong.

"Master that Do Yun is-is..." He panted.

"Is?"

"He is the prince, you were right..." He admitted.

Han Gyeol scoffed and turned around, Min Jong stood upright,

"You were right, he does possess the power with him, but..." He paused.

Han Gyeol stepped down from the railing and walked up to him,

"But?!"

"He doesn't remember that he is the prince...that is why it took so much time to find him. I heard him asking questions like, who are his parents and why can't he remember him."

Han Gyeol frowned in confusion,

"How is that possible?"

"I-I don't know, but there's one more thing...the girl which works in the cafe with him-"

"The girl who I talked with earlier?"

"No no, the other one. Who seems more close to the prince, she is also not a mere human, she-she possess power too."

"It makes it even more interesting!" Han Gyeol raised his one eyebrow and walked passed Min Jong few steps.

"It means that Kang Yu Jun isn't alone here, he has his own team?" He laughed out loud.

"What can two naive youngsters do to me? They just as powerless as a mere human in front of me!"

"But master-" Min Jing hesitated.

"Why? You suspect my powers?" Han Gyeol questioned from his peripheral view.

Min Jong meekly shook his head and Han Gyeol chuckled,

"Now that he doesn't remember his past, it's even easier to slay him down. His memory loss has made my task easy for me. Lemme trail him today, you should stay here. No need to do go with me. Today is the last day of his life." Ordered Han Gyeol.

"But master-

"That's my order!" He declared and went on his way down to trail Do Yun.

As he went away Min Jong sighed and cursed himself under breath. Indeed he trusted his master's skills but, what he had seen yesterday made him shudder in fear, how Do Yun' eyes and blood burnt due to the rage building inside him.

He gulped down as he remembered that scenario, somewhere he knew that, those powers possessed by Do Yun, he had seen those same powers inside someone else too, but who? He wondered and no name popped up in his mind. Since the day he has trailed Do Yun and found out more and more about him, his belief in his master's victory decreased.

He feared that he will end up the same way as his father did but he had no courage to even advice his master to back off now. He knew that if he said such words then he won't be even able to catch his last breath after that. He was not selfish for his life, but he didn't want his master to die alone, in a state that no one would be there to hold him or mourn on his death, just like his father. He shuddered at his own thought.

Here Do Yun woke up on his one thought, "Today is the day!" He exclaimed as he got up and went out of the cafe.

He was surely nervous but excited as he was going to propose Hyun Soo today. He got freshen up and came back to the cafe only to find Aera standing at the threshold of the cafe holding her handbag in both her hands.

As soon as Do Yun was her his smile fade away and his face went stern.

"Do Yun-" She tried to stop him but he instead walked past her and unlocked the cafe to go inside.

A tear dropped down her eyes, she had dark circles and her eyes were a bit puffy clearly indicating that she wasn't able to sleep properly or rather she was crying the whole night.

Do Yun' sudden cold shoulder made her heartache inside. She wiped her tear and quickly went inside. After keeping her handbag on the counter she wore the uniform of the cafe stood at the cafe counter looking at Do Yun who was working diligently without speaking a single word.

He turned on the heaters and as he went to clean the tables he saw Aera cleaning it already, he sighed and was about to walk away when Aera held his wrist.

"Do Yun-ah"

"WHAT?!" He yelled and it's echo made Aera shudder. She quickly let his wrist go and breathed slowly. She kept looking at her while he looked here and there restlessly.

After a brief silence Do Yun tried to walk away again when,

"I'm sorry, Do Yun-ah!" Exclaimed Aera making him stop.

"I'm sorry for lying to you. Please forgive me, don't ignore me like this..." She quivered.

He tried to walk away again but Aera held his arm and pulled him towards her,

"Do Yun please!..."

"You want me to forgive you?" He looked at her and Aera nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Then tell me the truth, who am I? Who are you? Answer all my questions!"

"Can you do that?!" He yelled.

Aera looked down and Do Yun scoffed in dismay,

"And I should forgive you, give me one reason to trust you? You disappeared somewhere all these years, you never contacted me or tried to meet me. Do you know how hard I tried to find you after I left the house? You were the one I trusted the most, cause I knew you would understand me, but all I receive in return of it is just a huge lie and you can't even explain!"

He jerked her hand and she looked at him while he said with disgust in his eyes,

"Was I ever a friend to you?"

He left her standing and went outside the cafe. Here Hyun Soo who was coming to the cafe along with Joon noticed Do Yun walking out in full rage,

"Oh! The atmosphere of the cafe doesn't seem good today, or am I imagining things?" Joon commented earning a glare from Hyun Soo.

"You go inside I'll go after Do Yun..." She handed him his handbag and before he could say anything she ran after Do Yun.

Joon sighed and shook his head and went inside the cafe. Here Hyun Soo who went after Do Yun found him sitting in a small Park while lying his back on the bench all alone, his eyes were closed and as soon as he heard some steps approaching him, he said,

"Why can't you just tell me the truth Aera?...."
