✧3. Damon's Smile✧
Author's P.O.V:-
"Hello, I am Jeon Damon," The boy introduces himself shocking Jimin.
>>>WHAT? JEON DAMON? ISN'T IT THE NAME OF THE VILLAIN'S SON? MY SECOND MOST FAVORITE CHARACTER OF THE NOVEL?
Jimin screams in his mind looking absolutely astonished at the boy.
Seeing Jimin, Damon remembers...
Flashback...
The Previous Day...
Damon after being done with his evening sword practicing session enters his room when a pleasant, delicate and sweet scent hits his nose.
Frowning he looks at the vase that has the purple flowers which are sparsely arranged on spikes at the tips of its long bare stalks.
"Who is there?" Damon yells, annoyed.
Immediately, the ajhumma who attends to his needs enters the chamber. "Any problem, your highness?" she asks, bowing, not lifting her head looking anxious.
"What are those?" He points at the flowers.
"They're lavender flowers, your highness. His highness, Duke Jungkook asked me to get you a medicine that can cure your insomnia, so..." The Ajhumma answers still bowing her head.
"So? You brought these flowers and decorated my room? Are you kidding me?" Damon clicks his tongue.
"Your highness, it's herbal medicine, the smell of the lavender flowers will ease your tension and help you fall asleep. That's why I brought them..." She replies, even though she is starting to get scared.
"Not even the royal doctor could cure my insomnia. Those flowers will help me sleep, you say?" Damon asks, smirking.
"Y-Yes, your h-highness." She answers now completely scared at the calm voice of her young master.
"So, what if I don't get the sleep?" He asks, walking around her with a smile.
She doesn't say anything and starts sweating even though the room is chilling.
"Tell me, Ajhumma. I asked you a question, didn't I?" His voice sounds dangerous now.
She gulps, "T-The...f-florist has g-gave an oil, if it is sprinkled on y-your h-highness sleeping bolster, then..."
"Oh...then do it, what are you waiting for?" He orders.
She immediately runs to bring the oil while Damon goes to look at the flowers in the vase. Then he finds a note in them,
He reads it and crumples the card.
>>>Someone in this kingdom dared to call me a little one, huh?
>>>Must be having a death wish. As the prince of Jeon Dukedom, I should make their wish come true.
He sneers, sinisterly.
The Ajhumma comes back panting, holding a purple bottle in her hand. "Your *Huff* highness, here."
"Should I do it myself?" He asks, smiling calmly but everyone in the kingdom knows the meaning of it. It means, "Do you want to die?"
Her eyes widen, she immediately opens the bottle and sprinkles it on the bed and all the bolsters present on it.
"Done, your highness." The Ajhumma bows.
He smiles, "Your life depends on whether I get to sleep tight or not, Ajhumma."
Her heart thunders hearing that and he signs her to leave. She goes out holding her chest tightly when the other maids ask her what happened, she explains everything and starts crying, "I am gonna *hic* die, tomorrow."
All those maids pity her and stay with her all night, wide awake while the one who is responsible for their sleeplessness went into a deep slumber miraculously as soon as he rested his head on the bolster.
The Ajhumma and other maids had dark circles around their eyes and are waiting for the orders of their young master but they got none.
The one who raises earlier than the sun due to lack of sleep and orders them around all day making them breathless is dozing off soundly without a care in the world.
Jackson Wang, the head butler of Jeon Dukedom, shows up at the door of his young master to know the reason for him not attending the heir classes.
>>>What happened? His highness Damon will never skip lessons when he is on high fever and sick to even lift a finger.
He knocks on the door but gets no response. Thinking that something big must have happened he calls all the guards and charges inside Damon's room only to see their young master sleeping peacefully like a baby.
>>>Baby? What the hell? To even imagine the reincarnation of Satan as a baby...I must have gone insane...
"Your Highness." He calls slowly.
"Um." Damon changes his position.
>>>Adorable...
That's what all the soldiers and maids thought but then look at each other, terrified to even have that thought.
>>>I must be getting old, to see his highness Damon sleeping till noon like this...
"Your Highness, Damon." He calls again this time a little louder.
Damon opens his eyes and looks at all the soldiers, maids, and the butler Jackson there.
"What's happening here? Why are you all in my room?" Damon asks, sitting up and rubbing his eyes.
"Your Highness, I was worried that you skipped your classes without informing me and didn't respond to my calls. So, I thought something must have happened..." Jackson starts explaining but stops when Damon raises his hand.
"What time it is?" He asks.
"It's 1 in the noon, your highness," Jackson replies, politely.
Damon blinks his eyes, shocked. He looks at the crumbled card on the table beside his bed. He takes it into his hand and opens it, smiling.
He reads the card again and this time his eyes are focused on the name at the end.
"Jimin..." He smiles and looks at the Ajhumma who is standing in the crowd bowing her head down.
"Ajhumma," he calls.
She lifts her head and stands in front of him nervously. "He saved your life. I want to meet the person who made this oil." He commands.
She gets relieved, "Thank you, your highness. I will escort you to the flower shop."
He nods and looks at Jackson, "Tell father, that I will be going out this evening."
"Yes, your highness." Jackson bows and leaves along with the other soldiers.
***Flashback Ends***
Jimin is looking at Damon with the eyes of a fan. His eyes are sparkling with love, adoration, admiration, and joy.
>>>Ah, I didn't know that I get to meet Damon like this. That too when he is just a kid. He looks so lovely!
"Uh...Jimin?" Damon calls as he is not speaking at all.
"Aw, why do you look so cute, Damon." Jimin pinches his cheek.
>>>Damon, huh? After father, you're the only one to call me by my name and stay alive...
The Ajhumma, the guards who escorted them and even the carriage man got a heart attack after witnessing a boy calling their young master by his name and even pinching his cheeks.
The Ajhumma tries to stop Jimin but he stops her and looks at Jimin,
"Am I cute?" Damon asks smiling.
>>>He's dead for sure!
That's what they all thought in their heads seeing their young master smile calmly.
>>>Omo, his smile! When he grows up his smile will be the death of thousands of hearts. I am sure of it.
"Yes. Didn't anyone tell you before? You are so damn cute and squishy that I want to fit you in my pocket." Jimin chirps.
>>>Poor boy. He's a gone case now.
The guards thought looking at each other, shaking their heads.
The Ajhumma almost lost her consciousness listening to Jimin.
"No. They never told me I look cute." Damon comments looking at his guards and maids.
"They must have bad eyesight." Jimin frowns looking at the servants.
"They sure have." Damon smiles again.
>>>He will wreak havoc when he just smiles for one time in a day. Now he is smiling continuously like this, is this world gonna end?
The Ajhumma gulps her saliva.
"Omo, what am I doing making you stand like this in the middle of the street? Let's go inside my shop and talk, Damon." Jimin takes his hand and drags him inside.
The Ajhumma faints then and there. The guards go to wake her up.
Damon also looks surprised by Jimin's sudden action. No one, not even his father Duke Jeon Jungkook held his hand like that till now.
Nonetheless, Damon let him drag him inside the flower shop. He looks at their locked hands,
>>>Warm...
Jimin takes him to his small and cozy bedroom and makes him sit. Damon frowns at the loss of warmth looking at his palm.
"This is my room, how is it?" He asks sitting beside him.
Damon looks around, "It's tiny."
Jimin chuckles at that. "But it's cozy."
Damon nods and takes out the card, "This...did you write it?"
He takes it into his hand and then remembers, florist Jimin writing it and placing it in the flower bouquet he sent along with the oil.
"Yes. The Ajhumma said it's for a 7year old kid. So I wrote it. If I knew it was for you, I would've chosen a more beautiful card."
>>>So, he doesn't know it's for me?
"Ah, Damon, you slept well, right?" He asks holding his hand and looking concerned.
>>>He's worried for me?
"Yes. I slept till noon. That's why I came here to get another bottle of oil."
"Really? That's good. I am so happy." Jimin ruffles the younger's hair delighted.
Damon blinks his eyes and touches his head, amazed by the affectionate action.
The Ajhumma who just got her consciousness back after seeing Jimin ruffling her Young master's hair, blacked out again.
"Uh, what happened to Ajhumma?" Jimin asks worried looking at her fainting.
Damon giggles, "She is shocked."
The guards who listened to the giggle of their young master are also in the queue to faint.
"Shocked? Why?" Jimin furrows his eyebrows in confusion.
"Nothing. No need to worry about her, talk to me." Damon turns him to face him.
"Aw, I messed up your hair. Wait, let me do it for you." Jimin fondly styles the hair.
Damon looks into his eyes and smiles and this is not the usual sarcastic or death warning smile. It's his genuine smile that even he doesn't know existed.
And that's the cue for the guards to be blacked out. The carriage man suffered to carry them out without disturbing his young master's conversation. He sprinkled water, waking them up.
Their conversation goes on and on until the sun goes down. The guard praying to all the deities in the skies goes to interrupt, "Your highness, i-it's time."
Damon glares at him but changes his expression instantly when Jimin looks at him sadly, "You have to leave?"
Looking at the pout on his face, "I will come tomorrow." He says which he never intended to say.
He just came there to see the person who prepared the oil that made him sleep like a log. All the doctors of Dukedom couldn't make it possible. So, he was curious to know the person named Jimin.
But he didn't know he would get that interested in him. He doesn't treat him like a prince but like a normal boy. He isn't scared of him rather he is worried for him.
Damon is now so invested in Jimin without him knowing. Well, who can resist the charm of Jimin? Not even a saint, I can bet on that.
"Will you?" Jimin's eyes sparkle and the younger nods.
"Then, I will wait for you. And put this oil on your bolster tonight too and sleep tight, little one." Jimin places a kiss on his forehead.
(Jk: Aish, Annie. Where the hell are you? A/N: I am here, what happened? Why are you so trusfrated? JK: Why is Jimin kissing that brat? I don't like it. Jimin is mine! A/N: 🤦♀️ Seriously, Jk? Damon is just a 7 yr old kid. And it's just a forehead kiss. Stop being so jeonolous! Jk: I don't care, Jimin will kiss no one but me, get it? Or else I am gonna kill you! A/N: I can't promise you that🏃♀️ *disappears* Jk: Wait, you little *disappears*).
Damon gets flustered, his ears blush red. Yesterday, he was ready to kill the one who called him little one but today,
>>>It's not as bad as I thought it is...
He leaves the flower shop, beaming. That night he slept again peacefully after sprinkling the oil but there's a difference today his lips are curved upwards.
