Archie's POV

The sudden pain in my leg wakes me up from my sleep. It hasn't even been an hour or two into my sleep but the pain resumed again. I couldn't sleep the whole night because my leg was in constant pain. And when I finally closed my eyes, I had to wake up without proper sleep.

"Is your leg still hurting?" Kian's sudden voice startles me and I turn to him to see him looking at me with worry.

"A little." I reply while trying to get up.

"Don't sit up. Just stay like that, I'll send a guard and call the medic to come here." He says as he climbs down the bed and walks to the door.

A minute later, he walks back into the room. Taking a good stare at him, I see his face sunken and his eyes kinda looks red with blackness under them. A clear evidence of lack of sleep. I must have disturbed him alot with my restlessness.

"I'm sorry." I utter when he sits on the bed next to me while watching my bandaged leg.

"Archie!" He calls out because I promised him before I won't apologise for everything.

"I know I told you I won't say sorry for every little thing. But this time, it's really my fault. Because of my endless movements during the night, you couldn't sleep, I disturbed you. And for that, I'm sorry." I give him the reason.

"It's not because of you, Archie." He sighs while looking at my face, "it's true I couldn't sleep but it has nothing to do with you. I feel really bad for taking you along with me because if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be in this state now."

"I told you already, it was just an accident and that you shouldn't blame yourself, didn't I?" I ask because he's feeling guilty for something he shouldn't.

"Yes, you did." He answers with a mumble and keeps his head low like a child standing in front of his mother and getting lecture from her.

It's cute, I smile alittle and tight my lips to surpass my laugh because he looks so adorable.

"Then why did you think about it all night? Promise me you will forget about it and won't blame yourself anymore." I insist.

"Okay, I won't think about it anymore." He agrees while looking at me.

I smile at him with a nod and he smiles back at me as we gaze into eachothers eyes. A knock on the door makes us jolt away. I blink my eyes before looking at the roof while Kian rubs his nape and goes to open the door.

"Greetings, king." I hear a new voice greeting Kian when he opens the door.

"Get in, New." Kian tells him to enter our room and once they're in, he closes it back.

Kian and that guy, I think is the medic, walks towards the bed.

"New, Archie feels pain at the place where he got hurt. He couldn't sleep well at night as well. Check him once." Kian tells the medic and he nods.

He moves closer and starts examining my leg. He looks at it carefully for a whole minute before nodding by himself and then turns to Kian.

"Nothing serious, king. It's common for an injury to emit the pain after some hours rather than at the time you get hurt. It'll be reduced by tonight or tomorrow morning. But still I'll prescribe some medicine, take them two times a day for two days. Don't worry." He assures.

"Sure, I'll send the guard now." Kian says while guiding the medic out.

Once the medic goes, he gets back into the room and asks me, "do you want to take a bathe before or after eating the breakfast?"

"Um..I'll bathe first." I reply and make an attempt to move.

Kian comes to my side in an instant and helps me to sit up.

"You're going to carry me again?" I ask when his hands goes under my knees and neck.

He nods so I wrap my hands around his neck as he lifts me up from the bed in bridal style. My hands go around his neck in a tight lock and he starts to move when I give a nod. Walking to the bathe area, I already see everything prepared. He carefully sets me down on the sitting table and when I thought he's going to go, he just locks the door and comes back to me.

"Why aren't you going?" I question him.

"I'll help you bathe." He responds as if it's nothing.

"W-what?" I shutter as I'm shocked hearing him.

"As your leg is hurt, it won't be easy for you to bathe. So, I'll help you." He repeats.

"I-I can manage, you don't have to help me." I decline his help, there's no way I'm going to let him bathe me.

"Why? It's okay. It's not like I haven't seen you before." He whispers the last sentence so that I should not hear but I hear it just fine.

"No. I can really manage myself." I try convincing him.

I can't believe this is really happening. I'm too shy to let him help me bathe and now he's reminding me of our first day encounter to make it even more embarassing for me. I never thought he would still remember that incident.

"Are you sure?" He queries.

"Yes, now go." I chase him away.

"Fine then." He says and walks to the other door which rema uses to enter the area.

He locks that door from inside and marches to me, "I'm not going to lock this door. I'll wait outside, when you're done call me, okay! I'll come and get you."

He says and walks to the door that's attached to our room which we use. Once he's gone, I take off my clothes and have a warm bathe. I hurriedly dry myself and wrap a robe around, worrying maybe he would enter the area any time. Now comes the most difficult part. How do I call him? Should I just shout his name? Calling him with his name would seem like we're so close but we're not. And only his parents call him as Kian. I called him by his name few times but it doesn't sit well with me. I haven't called him as king as well like everyone because that seems too distant. So, how do I let him know I finished bathing? Should I just say I'm done? Argg!! What to do now?

At that very moment, Kian knocks on the door and asks if he could come in. When I reply with a yes, he enters the bathe area again.

"You finished bathing?" He asks while approaching me.

"Yes." I reply and hold him tightly when he starts lifting me up.

"Why didn't you call me, then? I told you, right?" He calls out and sets me on the chair at the dressing area once we're out.

"Um..I didn't know how to call you." I say not hiding.

"How to call me? You can just call me by my name. You're not an outsider to address me as king." He states while handing me the dress Rema prepared for me.

"I'm also not a close person to you to address you by your name." I mumble and his hands stops midway.

I look up at him and see him being stoic for a moment. But eventually hands the clothes to me.

"Then, how about you give a name to me, the one only you can call me." He suggests.

"Huh? You mean a name only I can call you?" I ask because I can't believe he's saying this.

"Yes, exactly what you think." He confirms.

"I will!" I say a little than more excited with a wide smile and calm down when he looks at me surprised, "I mean I'll do as you said. I'll think of a name."

I respond and then he leaves to take bathe while I get dressed up and get ready for the day. Now I have a big work in hand, I urgently need to think and come up with a name for Kian. To which I'm the only owner. Seriously, I'm too happy about this. I never thought Kian would say something like this. I read in books that special names are meant for special people and only their special person can address them using it. Without a doubt, Kian is my special person. Does this mean, I'm a special person to Kian as well? What am I even thinking? He's just being kind enough towards me and I shouldn't think otherwise.

"Archie." Hearing my name, I snap out of my thoughts and take a look at the direction from where I head the voice.

"Let's eat breakfast." Kian says and carries me to the tea table and I see the table being filled with many delicacies.

"What's all this?" I question Kian when he places me on one of the chair.

"From today until your leg heals, we're going to eat here." He replies and takes a seat in front of me.

A second later, Rema comes and serves us the food. We eat our breakfast in silence and then Kian gives me the medicine. Kian said while I was bathing, the guard brought the medicine from the medic. And that I have to take the medicine after eating.

After that Kian goes to work and I lay on the bed without having anything to do. I stare at my incomplete painting with longing. I don't usually take much time to paint but this particular piece of art seems to be exceptional. It took me almost three days and I thought I would finish it by today but now it has to wait until few more days. I let out a heavy sigh at the thought.

"Archie." Winny's voice makes me turn and look at the door.

He rushes towards me and sits by my side, "are you feeling good?"

"Yes, I took medicine as well. I'm fine." I respond with a smile.

"Good to hear, I was so worried yesterday but the way king was by your side and took care of everything, I felt relieved." He says and this time it's my turn to smile.

Kian really made sure I was fine and even now he's doing everything for me.

"Winny," I call him and tell him about the special name I get to call Kian, "Kian said I can give him a name and only I'm allowed to call him that."

"Really?!" He exclaims and I nod my head rapidly, "then what are you going to call him? Did you decide on the name?"

"No, I'm still thinking." I reply.

"Let me help you." He says and just a second later he claps his hands, startling me, "I thought of a name already."

"What is it?" I ask him.

"How about you call him prince charming?" He states and I stare at him.

"What kind of name is that? You don't suggest anymore, he told me right, I'll choose one by myself." I scold him and decide to think by myself.

Honestly, I can't think of a name. Earlier I was to solely own a special name for Kian but now I feel it's a little childish. He was a given a name to call so why do I need to think of another name? What was I even thinking earlier. Later, when I meet Kian, I'll tell him I'll address him by his own name. Anyway, Kian itself has such a great ring to it so why even think of something else?
