2024-10-29 19:42:56Sean couldn't stop the butterflies in his stomach. Despite being Oswin's personal trainer in waitressing and acknowledging his completion, he couldn't help but worry. Even if he could somehow guarantee Oswin's temper, which he would monitor every minute, he couldn't say the same about the customer's temperament.
What if the first customer that walked through the door was a gangster? A mafia? Or, to put it simply, the most aggressive customer on Earth? Would Oswin be able to withstand it? He sighed as millions of worse scenarios were running through his head. All he was praying today was to have everything go smoothly.
"Sean, what's with the sigh? Worry about your relative?" James came up from behind and put his hand on the younger man's shoulder.
"Yes, bo

"Excuse me, sir, you'll have to wait in line." said a gentle-face boy, holding a board of customers' waitlist."Why do I have to wait in line? I see that table over there is free anyway," said a guy in a grey T-shirt and light blue jeans. A three-day-old beard and mustache covered his oblong face-shaped, making his dark brown Asian eyes and the whole complexion more intimidating."No, sir. We're cleaning it for the next customer whose name is on the list here," replied the boy while pointing to a clipboard in his hand. "You need to register your name and wait for me to call you when it's your turn. Just like those—"."Oy, so noisy. Why does a waiter here talk so much? Did he not get trained?" said the young guy in a similar facial structure as the one from before, but with a clear and smooth jawl

"I've heard someone is looking for me."A guttural voice reverberated throughout the whole restaurant, rendering everyone speechless. The customers who had always been told that the new waiter was mute were flabbergasted upon hearing this.But the nonplus wasn't solely because Oswin could talk. The majority of it went to the amazement of how one voice could be so charmingly mellifluous.Female customers almost forgot the tension in the air as the appearance of the handsome, blond-haired guy who stepped out from the kitchen to stand next to the trio's table overwhelmed them."Oh, so that's the new chicken," said Eli, looking completely unbothered at the tall figure before his table. "But didn't the owner say you're mute? How come you can talk?"

Seeing Oswin's bloodshot eyes, Sean's fear increased tenfold, for he knew the elf king wasn't the all-talk type. He would surely do what he had said. And that was the least he wanted. To prevent a murder case from happening, Sean grabbed Oswin's wrist tightly, refusing to let go despite the pain in his hand."Let me go, servant. I'll deal with those scums. How dare they hurt you?" Oswin commanded, demanding Sean to let him go, but the latter shook his head vigorously and tightened his grip. Oswin could break free easily, but he didn't do it, for he was afraid the force would hurt the fragile human in front of him."Don't do it, Oswin. I'm okay," Sean said."How come you're okay? Look at your blood. It almost floods the entire room.""What's going on?" James
The Elf King & I [Book #1] 13~ |Fever|
At around midnight, an indistinct, trembling sound made the sharp-eared Oswin wake up. He sat up on the sofa and held his breath, focusing on the faint noise."Hmm... Cold, so cold."Knowing he did not imagine things, he rushed to the bedroom. When he pushed the wooden door open—trying to be as quiet as he could—he saw Sean's body was trembling under the blanket with beads of sweat formed all over his face, especially in the area where his brows furrowed. His teeth clattered, murmuring the same words repeatedly in broken sentences.Heading towards the bed, Oswin placed his hand on Sean's forehead and frowned once he realized the latter had a fever. With quick strides towards the bathroom, he took a basin, filled it with cold water, and grabbed a small towel before returning to sit on the be

"Mr. Sean?" Robert tried to bring his attention back to him."I-I can explain." He stammered as he turned his gaze from Oswin and back to the legal person."I believe you have nothing to explain, Mr. Sean.""B-but...I... he," he stammered, trying to find words to defend Oswin. He did not want the elf king to go to the police or court. The risks were high, and the consequences were severe. Oswin's identity would be exposed, and James would know the truth. He did not want to break the man's trust. James had always been taking care of him ever since he started working here. He did not want to return the gratitude with lies. But the question was... what should he say to save the situation?"Please listen to me first, Mr. Sean," Robert held up a hand, waking the
The Elf King & I [Book #1] 15~ |Behind the Scenes|
Yesterday midnight, at Thomas's house,A long shadow cast on the wooden floorboard, moving around swiftly but without a single creaking sound, showing how excellent his foot skills were, even though the person's height was definitely a tall one, judging from the shadow's size. He wandered inside the living room, heading where two swords were hung in a wide horizontal X-form as a part of the decoration on the sage green painted wall. After plucking one off the original place, he headed to the middle of the room, making sure to smash every breakable thing along the way. He knew the noise would wake up three sleepyheads upstairs. Reaching the destination, he readjusted the weapon in his hand, wielding it skillfully in a horizontal eight-figure—a picture of someone who had undergone the arts of sword fighting and even mastered it.
The Elf King & I [Book #1] 16~ |Just Another Fever...Right?|
The disappearance of Thomas and his sons remained a mystery to Sean and James. Oswin refused to say a word, no matter how hard he tried to grill him. He could not shake off the feeling that this whole thing involved Oswin's doing. But as stubborn as the elf king could be, he got nothing out of Oswin. Knowing it was useless no matter what, he decided to drop the subject. Besides, there were no murder cases that involved the trio for quite some time. It looked like what he had feared did not happen.The transfer of Thomas' restaurant's ownership to James took only two weeks. It was faster than anyone expected. In less than a month, he was swamped helping James manage two restaurants simultaneously. They thought they could do it, but in reality, it turned out to be more complicated than they had thought. They had no choice but to sell the old restaurant and used the money to renovate the new one

The sun was blazing hot on the outside, dehydrating people that walked on the street, making them imagine seeing steams coming off the cobblestone pavement. Nevertheless, the hotness and steam were literally happening inside a small apartment, for Sean felt like he really saw smoke rising from Oswin's head as he glared at the person in front of him with eyes as sharp as a blade. "You're saying you don't have anything to say?" asked Oswin. Each word was enunciated clearly as if he couldn't believe what he had heard. "Of course. What else do I have to say?" Benji answered fearlessly with a mocking face. It was hard to blame Benji for his sheer dumb courage because he hadn't witnessed the power of the elf king yet. When he was taken out of the hospital, he was unconscious.

"What do you mean?" Anderson widening his eyes in shock. "He said he could. He promised to take my family to Aldous and made us immortal. He already took my sister there." "Sister?" Oswin asked with a frown. The image of the mortal woman he had accidentally killed flashed before his eyes. It couldn't be just a mere coincidence that Anderson and that woman were somewhat familiar. Radiating a golden light from his right hand, Oswin used it to draw a rectangular box in the air, which subsequently projected a picture of someone inside. "Is she the one?" "Yes. That's Elena. King Father already took her to his kingdom and made her immortal. She is now living in luxury with her immortality, isn't she?" asked Anderson with a glint of hope and excitement in his eyes. Sean and

"Now, speak," said Oswin in a threatening voice. His face showed not a single trace of mercy as he glared at the two men kneeling before him. Things weren't sure whether the elf king was too intimidating or the witnesses felt threatened. There were no words spoken in the whole two minutes. And it irritated to the point that his body began glowing off a golden light, causing the kneeling humans before him to tremble in fear. "Why don't you speak? Are you deaf? I order you to speak!" He raised his voice and sat bolt upright on the couch, eyes shooting a deadly glare. "Oswin..." Sean drawled as he came to join his lover on the left side, brushing their shoulders together. "They aren't deaf. They are mute." "Huh?" He turned to look at Sean perplexedly. "Mute? But they ta

The pitch-black darkness behind Sean's eyelids turned grey as the sunlight's reflection through the open glass window shone into the room. He stirred and groaned in his sleep before rolling to the side, throwing his hand over his loved one's broad chest. As the fleshes came into contact, he breathed in the scent he loved so well and chuckled. "Having a beautiful dream?" asked Oswin, craning his neck down to look at the one hugging him. Breathing his favorite scent in heavily that sounded like a sniff, Sean replied, "Yeah. A heavenly dream plus a beautiful reality. Your presence and scent give me a sense of security." "Am I?" "Yes, you are, great-great-whatever-more-great grandfather," giggling Sean, burying his face into the crook of Oswin's neck.

Yesternight past midnight: downtown Oakland's mortuary: "So, that bright light brought me to Earth?" Oswin asked after he finished recalling what happened on his last day at Aldous. Genevie nodded. "Yes. The trial began that day." "That explains how l lose my power. But why did this memory get erased?" "I am not sure, Oswin. Maybe this trial wants you to learn about humanity through love and not fear. If you remember this accident, even though you won't hurt a mortal, it was only because of the elf's weakness. In short, it was more like an obligation. But if you don't remember, every action that you forgive a mortal will be purely based on your heart. I think this must be it." "This could

Aldous: The Day of The Accident It was one foggiest day Aldous had ever seen. Armed with a sword, a bow, and arrows, Oswin rode on the back of his pitched-black horse and ventured alone into the forest, searching for a rare white deer that only showed itself once a millennium. The creature showed itself at the wrong time, arousing curiosity within him. Known for its lightning-fast speed, it took only a few gallops before the elf king and his horse passed all the guards behind. When they reached the forest, the white deer was out of sight, leaving behind only the paw prints. "Where did it go?" He murmured, looking around for the white thing that should be easily spotted from the darkness. Unfortunately, he couldn't.

Yesternight past midnight: downtown Oakland's mortuary: The corpse of the elf king was left inside the morgue's drawer, unattended and naked. As the hour of death was less than twenty-four hours, no one cared to embalm the body, for they believed the freezer alone should be enough to slow down the decaying until the working time tomorrow. The mortuary was old and small except for the dim bulb on the outside hall. The room and the entire building overlapped with the night's darkness that even the security had to use a flashlight to see his way better. "The lighting needed fixing. This building, too. Who knows when this morgue is going to crumble down? It seems older than my ancestor." The security guard murmured as he patrolled the silent hall.

*WARNING*: This chapter contains 18+ scene. ******* "Oswin, don't! NO!!!" Sean screamed at the top of his lungs. His body jolted, making him sit bolt upright on the bed. His eyes were wide open. Beats of sweat condensed on his forehead and occasionally rolled down his cheek, running along his jawline before dropping to the blanket that fell to the lower half of his body. "Sean." Oswin walked out of the living room. He made his way to the bed and sat down next to his lover. His brows furrowed with worry." Wake up. You're having a nightmare." "Oswin?" asked Sean when he opened his eyes. "Are you really Oswin?" With a smile and a gentle gaze, Oswin lifted his hand and used his long-sleeved shirt to dab the sweat away from Sean's fa
