Chapter 1: Whose body is this?

Lee Son felt a calm breeze pass through his head it made him feel relaxed and at peace. Further, so it made him think. 'Oh...The fan is doing its job. I feel so relaxed.' Then suddenly a sharp throbbing pain passes throughout his whole body. Though it instantly disappears just like how it appeared. That made Lee Son straight up wake up from his slumber. "What was that?!!" he yelled as he starts to touch every inch of his body that felt that sudden throbbing pain.

Lee Son stops what he was just doing and starts to wipe the dust in his eyes to make his vision more clear, to only see that he was in an unfamiliar room. He noticed that the walls featured a toile design, as he stared around the room it struck him that the furniture looked handmade. Even from the distance, he could see the rich look of the wood, and warm hearth hanging on every corner of the room. Has he landed in a different era? Lee Son started to wipe his eyes as he cannot believe what he was seeing.

"What the hell!? Where am I!?" he yelled as he couldn't stop his thoughts that were flowing out of his largemouth like an endless river. He looks over at his hand and noticed a different shade of tone to his skin. He also took note of the disappearance of his callous from all the writing that he had been doing for the publishing company.

"My hands!? This is not my hands!?" He exclaimed, Lee Son also felt a silky cloth graze over his skin. He looks over at the clothes that he was currently wearing. It was a white knee-long and shapeless piece of cloth that has beautifully made trimmings and was covered all over with golden paint strokes of patterns. Lee Son felt like he was wearing something very expensive. "What the heck is this!? I'm...I'm wearing a dress?!! Wait...No it's not a dress. I think I've read something like this from one of those Medieval Novels from the office " He started to think.

"Is this a PJ?" Lee Son shook his head to erase the thoughts in his mind before quickly leaping out of his bed to run at the nearby mirror beside the wooden drawer at the front of his bed. He took a good look at himself starting from the tip of his toes up to his head. "Who's this fine young man?" he asked.

Lee Son definitely thought that it can never be him since this appearance was quite foreign to him. He couldn't help but stare at the grand mirror in front of him well, not exactly the mirror but the man in the reflection of it.

A striking appearance was in front of him. A pale young man with snowflakes-like skin, beautifully short but groomed platinum hair that is soft to touch, and unbelievably deep blue captivating eyes that rival a sapphire. With a pointed nose that is perfect for his small face and reddish bow-shaped lips, his build was like any other but seems to be more developed than normal. Lee Son was lost at the moment since he couldn't comprehend what is happening before him. Then he realized "This is not me!" he exclaimed.

Unexpectedly a knock on the door resonated inside the room leaving Lee Son's gaze head towards where he has picked up the sound.

*Knock Knock Knock

"Good morning Young Master, It's Bern, may I come in for your breakfast?" A man's gentle voice resonated from the other side of the bedroom's grand door.

Lee Son snaps out of it because of the word young master, he already noticed it earlier and figured it out easily that this room definitely belongs to someone with money in their name. But he still couldn't stay put since there are tons of assumptions that are currently circling inside his head.

"Come in" Lee Son replied. He then quickly ran to the nearby chair and seated himself, while still thinking about the assumptions running wild inside his mind.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

The door slowly opened and a young man with a black suit and brown hair entered the room while pushing a cart full of food. The cart consist of a plate of ham and eggs, a set of teapots, and teacups that has been brewed with peppermint tea to go with the savory flavors of the ham and egg.

Lee Son took a glance at the man that came in the young man continues to push the cart towards the table at the front of the large arch windows in the center of the room. He made his way to the table and starts to set up the meal on it. After that, he made his way towards Lee Son with his head on the ground. The young man sneakily took a peek at his young master's face and flinched as they made eye contact.

'Huh? Did he caught me staring?' Lee Son cough and asked "Um...Bern right?" Bern heard his name and quickly lifted his head to respond. "Yes, Young master Xarth?" he asks with his brow slightly upward.

'..Xarth!? Who is that? Me?' Lee Son asks himself as he was confused about who this Xarth person was...Given that fact, he sees the opportunity to ask Bern who is this man really was. Since he might resolve the problem that Lee Son is currently struggling to tackle with right now.

Lee Son started to clasp his hands "Do you know me?" he asks as he looks at Bern eye to eye. Bern looked worried as if something would happen if he didn't answer and responded."Young master is the youngest son of Count Barrows and you are Young master Xarth Barrows!" He exclaimed, he didn't hear a tone from his master so the young man slowly looks toward Lee Son and saw his cold gaze, he couldn't help but gulp as seeing the Young master's expression and slowly looks away in fear thinking that he might be punished. But nothing happened. He then heard a voice..."Hmm...Okay," Lee Son's short reply made Bern feel relief since he wouldn't be punished.

Contrary to his calm persona Lee Son was really in a disoriented position he couldn't help but squirm around in his seat unable to think rationally because it happened so unexpectedly.

Suddenly a sharp throbbing pain passes through his head once more. Lee Son starts to massage his temple since it was unbearable. Bern took note of his unusual action, he sees that the young master is turning paler by each second. "Young master are you feeling unwell?" he asks as he moves closer to Lee Son bit by bit. Though Lee Son thought that massaging his temple would do the trick nonetheless his action was useless, it keeps on throbbing so bad to the point that it made him in a trance.

'What is...happening? My vision is...getting all blurry?' Bern sees his master's eyes slowly lock he immediately knew that the master loses his consciousness so he bursts his way and supported his torso from falling headfirst from his seat. The servant began to shake his master's shoulder hoping that he would open his eyes. "Young master Xarth! Young master!" He called. Yet there was no response, he straightaway tucks Lee Son to his bed before informing the Count and the Countess of the Territory about the said situation.

While chaos starts to brew inside the estate of the place where Lee Son first appeared. He who was unconscious seems to be dreaming about something particularly important to his situation at the moment.

"What happened? Did I pass out? Where is this place?" Lee Son confuses about what had just happened starts to walk around the dark area. "Why can I only see darkness?" he exclaimed. He continues to saunter in a straight direction, each step moves him closer to his destination but is unaware of it. "What is this place?" he asks, Lee Son starts to look around at the dark and eerie place his in, unexpectedly right by the corner of his eye he saw a ray of light. That seems to pull him in consciously.

Pulled by the light he appeared at an extravagant and large dining hall that features white walls with intricate details of gold patterns that overall compliments the large three arc window that is placed at the left-middle side of the room. The windows really had done their purpose as they brighten the room giving a peaceful and calm ray of sunlight. And the main showcase of the room is the long rectangular table made out of the finest wood with a red and hand-sewed mantel that gives off a majestic vibe. A dining room like this wouldn't be complete without its fancy chairs, the chairs were also made from the same wood as the table which is Grenadil that is painted in color gold to showcase class and nobility.

Overall Lee Son was awe-struck at the sight of this extravagant place. He couldn't let out a tone since he is personally seeing a dining hall this enormous and grand looking that he could only search on the web for material purposes. Since he is working at a publishing company that is known to publish any type of genre.

"E...Ernomous!! What is this!? A royal dining hall!?" Lee Son continues to inspect around the enormous dining hall with curiosity, then suddenly the large door at the end of the long rectangular table starts to open leading him in a panicked situation.

"Huh!? The door!! I need to hide! But...where!!?" Agitated by the sudden situation Lee Son was unable to hide from the person coming in from the door. He grasps his hand into a fist to ready himself to retaliate if the situation turns worse.

*Creeeakkkk

Slowly but surely the door opened, a person wearing a simple shirt and left it unbuttoned at the top for a more casual look. On top of the shirt, he's wearing a jacket that fits him like a glove, It has a tight herringbone pattern which gives the suit a more formal and elegant look.

The 5 buttons of his single-breasted jacket have been left unbuttoned, this suit is meant to be worn this way. Casual, yet graceful at the same time.

Lee Son is sure that this person is definitely someone of nobility given by the sheer craftsmanship of his clothes and the overall vibe that the person gives off...Yet that wasn't the main thing that bewildered him, it was none other than his appearance. The person that came in was the person he had just saw earlier in the reflection of the mirror.

"The pretty boy..."
