As Bobae made her way to her room, she couldn't shake off the feeling that Junpyo's arrival had brought a new dynamic to the estate. She felt a mix of emotions - curiosity about the new master, anxiety about Jinho's possessiveness, and a hint of excitement that she couldn't quite explain.
As she changed into her nightclothes, Bobae's mind wandered to Junpyo. She had noticed the way he looked at her, the way his eyes seemed to see right through her. It was both unnerving and intriguing.
Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, Bobae heard a soft knock on her door. She got up to answer it, expecting it to be one of the other servants with a task or message. But to her surprise, it was Minho standing in the hallway, a mischievous grin on his face.
She widen her eyes that it almost pulled out of it's socket, what are you doing here she half yelled. Do you want me to be killed?
"Hey, Bobae," he whispered. I didn't mean to scare you I came to check on jinho and he was fast asleep.
If you know what I pass through before getting your room you will follow me now. He dragged her down the Hallway and stopped at the front of the other maids door. why do you bring me shhhh... he cut her off; listen! ( he doesn't have a brain to knock, he's a pervert) why are they angry? Who are they talking about? em... bobae I'm sorry I just want you to apologize to them on my behalf" what do you do? She asked with a warning face don't tell me you flirt with them she said no I didn't do that he argued I just em... I em.... I mistakenly open their door I didn't do it on purpose, as they were talking one of the girls suddenly open the door, they both flinched and stopped talking.
Are you both dating? One of the girls named Nora asked, unnie you shouldn't have date him he's a pervert. Bobae was surprised with the way the girl talked, she moved closer to her and called her, Nora? You see that oppa there he's not a pervert, he's my friend from school.
Really? She asked and blink in a funny way, but was is he doing here if master See's you with him u know what will happen. She said with a concern look on her face, don't worry bobae answered, master won't hurt me, he's master's friend and also he's a good guy he takes care of me in school, so you must respect from now on. She ruffles her hair and enter the girls room to apologize to them and bid them good night.
As she was about to leave their room she remembered something and turn back, girls listen, that guy out there he's not my boyfriend he's just my friend are we clear? and they all nod. Because she knows if she didn't tell them she will be doomed.
Minho was pacing up and down waiting for her to come out ( as bobae exit the girls room) he quickly walked towards her ( how far) he asked? They forgive you already but don't try it next time.
He heaved a sign of relief..... Thank you he hugged her I will be on my way now. let me escort you she said.. it's late don't worry I will go on my own.
The main reason I came to check on you is just to ask that how's life as a maid treating you?"
Bobae smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. Minho's presence was a welcome distraction from the turmoil in her mind. "It's been...interesting," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
Minho chuckled and leaned against the doorframe. "I'm sure it has. You're quite the topic of conversation around here. Jinho's not being too hard on you, is he?"
Bobae's eyes darted down the hallway, ensuring they were alone. "Let's just say Jinho's got his own way of doing things," she said, her voice low.
Minho's expression turned serious. "If he ever crosses the line, you know you can come to me, right?"
Bobae's heart warmed at Minho's concern. "Thanks, Minho. That means a lot coming from you."
As they stood there, Bobae felt a sense of comfort in Minho's presence. Maybe, just maybe, she could find a way to navigate this complex web of relationships and emerge unscathed.
But little did she know, Junpyo was watching from the shadows, his eyes fixed on the exchange between Bobae and Minho. A spark of interest ignited within him, and he couldn't help but wonder what lay beneath Bobae's reserved exterior.
As Minho bid Bobae goodnight and headed back to his own room, Junpyo stepped forward, his presence commanding attention. "Bobae," he called out, his voice low and smooth.
Bobae turned, her eyes meeting Junpyo's. "Yes, Mr. Junpyo?"
"I need to speak with you about the household duties," Junpyo said, his eyes never leaving hers. "Meet me in the study tomorrow morning. We'll discuss the details."
Bobae nodded, her heart racing with anticipation. What did Junpyo want to discuss? And what lay behind his piercing gaze?
As she lay in bed, Bobae couldn't shake off the feeling that her life was about to take a dramatic turn. And Junpyo's enigmatic smile only added to her uncertainty...
