The Truth

𝘙𝘪𝘯𝘨....𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨....𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨!

All maids were shocked that first Young master Jin rang the bell.

Everyone assembled into their living room. The atmosphere was quite gloomy, and every maid was terrified with their master's expression.

"Where is Jay?" Jin inquired while he took a sip of his black tea.

"Second master is in his room," someone answered.

"Please call him downstairs, quickly!" he ordered, glaring toward the maid.

"Ye—Yes sir." she stammered and staggered while running upstairs.

Jay walked down clumsily and appeared before his brother in no time in his night clothes, with big dark circles beneath his eyes.

"Where were all the maids yesterday ?" the lord asked. "Remember, I want an honest answer or You will be fired!"

"Second young master gave us leave yesterday since the Old master and madam went to attend the banquet. We all were in our respective dorms in the north garden master."

"Jay, may I know why you gave them leave yesterday ?" The older brother barked at his sibling.

"Mom and dad were not at home, so I thought to give them leave and spend my time with Eunji to convince her to marry you." Jay replied in a playful manner.

"I never asked you to convince her. Did you not know that ? I'm capable of handling my own affairs, stop meddling Jay!" he yelled so loudly that his voice pounded in everyone's ears.

"Calm down, Alright, I won't repeat this next time." Jay tossed those words at him.

"There will be no next time!" he was on the edge of his anger. "You all get back to your work. Jay came with me outside. Now!"

Jay pushed himself to accompany his older brother to the garden. It was a bright, cold morning while the First young master had put on a dark expression on him.

"Why did you lock us yesterday?" He muttered softly.

"Locked? When did I lock you?" Jay tried to tell a small white lie.

"Don't make a fool of yourself, tell me why the electricity went off? Where did you go last night? And Why did you lock me and Eunji?" Jin demanded the truth from him, walking across the garden.

"Alright. The electricity went off because someone entered our basement. He tried to cut off electricity but I got into the basement at the right time when he was about to leave. I chased him all night but failed at the last time. When I returned home it was 7 o'clock in the morning, I repaired the electric supply appliances and went upstairs to your room. And to my surprise, you both were silent inside. I thought something might have happened to both of you, then I unlocked the door and saw you two were cuddled..." he trailed off seeing the blush on his older brother's face.

"So you saw that ?" Jin coughed trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Oh yes bro! But when I saw you two were alright, I went to my room to take a nap, afterall I chased a burglar all night." Jay joked and acted at the same time, "So brother, when I'm going to be an Uncle ?"

"You...." Jin sighed, "We didn't do it because I fainted due to the freaking cold. But the question still remains, who locked us ?"

"It might have got locked automatically. Don't you think you should visit Eunji after the last night incident ?" Jay tried to change the topic.

"What should I say to her ?" Jin was as always a hopeless lover, not at all romantic.

"You should take her out, maybe on a date. Try to interact more with her, know her. Let her know you better. Eventually you will get her." He winked at Jin.

"Hmp!" Jin tried to think, "I think it's a good idea. Let me make the arrangements."
