Chapter 6 : The New Family

Jinyoung looks awkwardly at Chanyeol who is now sitting beside him. Chanyeol stayed silent as the King laid out his plans for them. Sulli hovers beside Jinyoung, waiting for them to finish their conversation.

"Tonight we will enter the palace the same way we sneaked out, no one shall know what happens." Jaebum pointedly looks at Sulli.

Jinyoung gasp as he remembers all cruel things that have ever happened to the Historical dramas he watched where the servants of the main characters suffer and got punished due to misleading information.

"You don't have to worry about my lady in waiting, Jaebum. I feel at ease with them. I'm sure you're loyal to your King, right Sulli?" Jinyoung nudges the woman who stutters as she bows her head to the King.

"Yes, Pyeha... I will keep your secrets to the grave. I am your loyal servant."

"That is good to hear, now Chanyeol I need to make contact with your parents but as you know there are ears and eyes everywhere. So what I want is for them to enter the palace and be invited to the grand hall where I will hold a personal conversation with them."

"Are you sure about this Pyeha..the minister and the councilors might be against this, we all knew how they prefer that the women of the King be chosen by them." Chanyeol seriously said as Jaebum nods his head.

"I know all the implications that this plan may have but it's the only way I can keep the lady safe. I am sure I can rely on you Captain Park and on the Bannam Park Clan. The position of your father as a Minister of Justice will help us conceal the truth to all. Alas, we will rely solely on your family's influence, and all of your clan's help will be rewarded."

"I will send you off safely inside the palace Pyeha and then I will send one my men to rely on your instructions to my father. I will make sure he and my mother is going for a visit first thing in the morning."

Jaebum smiled at his very reliable Military Captain. Offer a toast that the taller man takes gladly.

They all enjoyed the night eating and drinking which leads to a very tipsy Jinyoung who is known to be a lightweight when it comes to alcohol.

"I am sorry to burden you with this trivial thing Chanyeol, and I appreciate your loyalty." Jaebum pats the man on the shoulders.

Chanyeol bowed down to his King and then looks curiously at Jinyoung.

"So..you're my new sister now huh?"

"I guess, but I am not a woman okay? I have a dick, it's not that big but it gets the work done alright?"

Chanyeol stutters as he looks at Jinyoung.

"What?"

"The lady is a man Captain.."

"But..but..you don't look like one. You can fool everyone with your..beauty."

"Why thank you oppa..you look good too."

Jaebum coughs loudly as he throws an irritated glance at Jinyoung.

"I am wondering what is it that you're calling him..aren't you supposed to call him orabuni?" Jaebum asked as he is not familiar with the term.

"Ughh..but that is so so not cool. On my day the girls all call their big brothers Oppa, even their boyfriends are sometimes called Oppa as well." Jinyoung fiercely insisted as he whispers "I'm right, right Sulli?"

"But your days are not yet here Jinyoung, you need to adjust to our ways for you to conceal your real identity. And what the heck is a boyfriend!"

Jinyoung jumped when Jaebum slaps a hand on the table.

"You don't know the term, Sulli..you don't have one here?" Jinyoung turns to his lady in waiting who is awkwardly scratching her head.

"I don't know the meaning of that word, my lady."

"Gosh...a man..a man that you like and who likes you as well. That's a boyfriend. Geez..Oppa please order some Soju..we already finished these bottles." Jinyoung whines with a noticeable blush on his cheeks due to drunkenness.

"No..you seem to be drunk already Jinyoung ah.." Chanyeol shakes his head at him.

"Stop calling him Oppa Park Jinyoung..or else." Jaebum gritted his teeth as the alcohol takes full effect on them.

"Or else what..you can't scare me Jaebum I'm not from here remember.." Jinyoung sassily said as Chanyeol slowly gets up and gestures towards Sulli to keep her master quiet or else suffer Jaebum's well-known temper.

"Why can't you listen to me just once.." Jaebum whines as Jinyoung looks unimpressed at him.

Sulli nervously nudges Chanyeol, pointing towards the two.

"Captain I think you should intervene before things get out of hand. The King and Lady Park seem drunk already."

"But..aishh..let' order more drinks so they both would pass out. Easier to drag them out of here." Chanyeol mutters as he gets some more drinks.

Sulli looks worriedly at the two.

"You have to obey me... I am your King. "

"No you're not..we don't have Kings..we have presidents and senators and..and whatever other politicians are called." Jinyoung leans sideways as he drunkenly berates the man in front of him.

"You..."

"Pheya..I think it's time to go." Chanyeol intervenes before things get heated.

Jaebum stopped ranting, looks at his officer and curses under his breath. Pinching his nose and trying to calm himself.

"Alright let's all go back now."

Sulli immediately grabs onto Jinyoung who stands abruptly which makes him stumble right back down.

"Aisshhh, my lady. Did you get too much to drink eh? What do to Captain Park..we will take too much time if we force the lady to walk." Sulli worriedly asked the man who looks at the King.

"Pyeha..I have to carry Jinyoung all the way back to the palace.."

"No..No other men can touch him. I will carry him." Jaebum stands up and shakes his head as if it will help him take away the dizziness.

"But Pyeha..you're a King.. You're not supposed to carry something or someone, you're supposed to be served by us.." Chanyeol blurted out.

"You're forgetting something Captain Park, remember here I am just Im Jaebum." Jaebum walks towards Jinyoung who is giggling as he plasters his face all over the wooden table.

"Come on now Jinyoung..we're going back."

"I want to go back home.." Jinyoung whines thinking about his friends, Bambam, Yugyeom, and Mark.

"Don't worry, I will make that place your home," Jaebum mutters quietly as he lifts the smaller man up bridal style which would probably piss the younger man off if he isn't drunk.

"Captain Park, lead the way."

"Sulli, you take the rear, and be alert," Chanyeol said as they take off into the night.

-----❤------❤-----❤-----❤-----❤

Chanyeol looks on as one of his men takes off into the night, carrying his important note. He just hopes that his father won't make things difficult for them.

"Captain Park, what are you doing? It's too late for a nighttime stroll." Baekhyun greeted the military officer who smiles tiredly at the healer.

"It's great seeing your beauty after the tiring night I have experienced Healer Byun.."

"Tell me about it. I've been wakened up by Eunuch Jia telling me that the King is requesting a medicine for a hangover. I guess you're with them huh?"

Chanyeol nods his head.

"I am..I have to make sure the King is safe."

Baekhyun looks at the taller man in admiration.

"You're a great man Captain Park.."

"I try to be Healer Byun..now enough of this. I need to get some rest, can I tempt you with a night of cuddles with me?" Chanyeol teases the smaller man who rolls his eyes at him.

"No thank you, Captain, I have to wake up early later..I have a hunch that the King will need us again, for the lady."

"Ah yes..the lady who is now my sister.," Chanyeol smirked as Baekhyun's face is now filled with curiosity.

"A sister..but. How did that happen.."

"I will tell you if you say yes to my request but alas..you said no so...goodnight Healer Byun.." Chanyeol walks away whistling happily as Baekhyun looks at him in shock.

"Aishh..that freaking tall man...yahh! Chanyeollie..tell me..." Baekhyun shouted as he rushes to follow the Captain.

Park Won Bin set the letter aside as his wife looks curiously at him

"Well, what is it. What's so important that our son makes haste in getting this letter delivered to us." Park Na Young whispers.

"It seems that the King is requesting for a meeting with us and that we have acquired a new daughter."

"What...what do you mean?"

"The King wants us to adopt a young lady which he wishes to make his royal consort." Wonbin looks troubled as this will affect everything. Other families will surely focus more on their clan's power and influence now that it will be known that the King favored this young lady who is now his daughter.

"Ah..but are we ready for that dear? We wanted a daughter for ages but now that we have one she has to be a consort to the King. We will be thrown into the cruel world of power, influence, and dominance..we are not prepared."

"But the King needs our help and as citizens of these lands, we have the responsibility to meet his needs. We have to.."

"Well...I can now put all the pretty hairclips I've been collecting, you go ahead and worry about that serious stuff while I will enjoy having a new daughter." Nayoung stood and leave her husband alone.

We have to be prepared.
