In Love With My Master One-Shot
This is a story about a maid who secretly falls in love with his master. However, he didn't know that his master feels the same way. So one day, his master decided to confess him. Then they live happily ever after.
The Maid’s P.O.V
I wake up early in the morning to take a shower and prepare my master’s breakfast.
As I was preparing my master’s breakfast, I felt two pairs of strong arms wrap around my waist.
“Morning.” He will always greet me.
“Morning, master.” I will always greet him back.
Thump Thump Thump
Oh-no! My heart is acting up again. It will always beat rapidly whenever he is close to me. I always pray that he wouldn’t hear my heartbeat. Sometimes, I have a feeling that he does, but he ignores it. However, I will always let it slid and think that I am crazy.
“What are you making?” He asked me in that angelic voice of his.
That was the reason that made me fell in love with him in the first place. Well, there are many more reason to why but this was the main reason that got me so crazy in love with him.
Yes, I AM IN LOVE WITH MY MASTER! That was the words I want to shout to the whole world. However, I couldn’t.
Who is my master? He is one handsome man who goes by the name Tae Yang. However, his birth name is Dong Young Bae. What a nice name for a handsome man, right? I think so too.
“Ri, oh, Ri…” My master shakes me a little which made me come back to my sense.
“Hmm…”
“The food is burning.” He points out.
OH SHIT! His breakfast!
“OMG!” I shout in fear. “YOUR BREAKFAST!”
“Calm down.” He simply said. “It’s okay.”
“What do you mean by ‘It’s okay’? Because it is not!” I begin to panic. I check the time on the microwave. SHIT! My eyes become wide in shock. It is freaking seven o’clock in the morning. He has to go to work at eight because he has an urgent meeting. DAMN! I just screw up his morning.
“Mianhaeyo!” I apologize to him.
“Waeyo?” He asks. “I said it is nothing.”
“Ani! I can’t let you skip your breakfast.”
“Okay.” He nods his head. “What do you want to do then?”
“Umm…” I thought for awhile. AH-HA! I know…
I grab some bread and put in the toaster. Then I grab some ham and lettuce with some other toppings.
Yes, I am making a ham sandwich for my master. Sad, right? Yes, I know. Well, what do you expect me to do? I burnt his breakfast. There’s no way I am going to be finish cooking in half an hour considering that he has to be in his company at eight.
“Seung Ri, what’s wrong?” My master asks me in concern.
How do I know that he is concern about me? Well, he never calls me by my whole name… well, nickname. My real name is Lee Seung Hyun. However, he doesn’t call me that because he has a best friend who happens to share the same name as me. However, his last name is Choi.
I shake my head at him and say, “Ani, I am fine. Chinja, I am.”
“No, you are not.” He says. “If you are, you wouldn’t have said it so many times.”
Alright. He got me there. Now what?
“I said I am fine. Don’t worry about me.” I told him as I made his sandwich. “Here, eat and go now. You will be late for work.”
“I own that place. I’m the boss.” He says. “I can go there anytime I want.”
“You have an urgent meeting to attend today.”
“So?”
“So, you have to go now or else you’re late.”
“Fine.” He pouted and left the house.
“Bye!” I wave at him and close the door.
Gosh, I feel like I’m his wife instead of a maid. Oh well… I like this feeling.
“Hmm…” I mutter to myself. “AH! I should start cleaning.”
So, the rest of the time I begin to clean.
The Master’s P.O.V
As I woke up early in the morning, I did not see Seung Ri beside me. I guess he is up early again, making breakfast for me.
I got out of my bed and wash up. Then I wear my suit for work. Damn… I hate waking up in the morning just for some stupid meeting that I have to hold. Why didn’t I make it in the afternoon so I can spend my morning with my maid.
Yes, I AM IN LOVE WITH MY MAID! Is it a crime? I really want to confess to him. However, something is holding me back. I don’t know what it is… but it is. I know that he feels the same way as I do too.
As I got ready, I walk down the stairs and into the kitchen. I immediately wrap my arms around his skinny waist. Does he eat at all? Why is he so skinny? It makes me worry. I should’ve pay more attention to him.
“Morning.” I greet him.
“Morning, master.” He will always greet me back.
Why does he always call me master? I told him to call me by my name. Is it that hard?
Then all of sudden, I heard his heartbeat. I close my eyes as I listen to it. I love the way how his heartbeat sounds.
“What are you making?” I suddenly ask, breaking the silent.
I wish I could stay like this forever and listen to that soft melody that came out of his body.
Then all of a sudden, I smell something burnt. I look over his shoulder to see the food is burning.
“Ri, oh, Ri.” I shook him a little. I guess he was also deep in thoughts like I was.
“Hmm…”
“The food is burning.” I pointed out.
“OMG!” He shouts. “YOUR BREAKFAST!”
“Calm down.” I told him. “It’s okay.” I wasn’t hungry, anyways. I am more concern of him than myself. Just look at him. He is so skinny. There’s barely any meat on him. I’m very worried about him.
“What do you mean by ‘It’s okay’? Because it is not!” He begins to panic.
I heaves a sigh. He is always worrying about me and not himself. This worries me. I really should pay more attention to him. He is treating himself so poorly.
“Mianhaeyo!” He apologize to me.
Aiyo… What is this kid thinking now? Stop worrying about me already.
“Waeyo?” I ask. “I said it is nothing.”
“Ani! I can’t let you skip your breakfast.”
“Okay.” I nod. “What do you want to do then?”
“Umm…” He thought for awhile.
Then I saw him taking out some bread and put it in the toaster. Okay, I guess he is making me sandwiches.
While he was making the sandwich for me, I notice a frown on his face.
“Seung Ri, what’s wrong?” I ask in concern.
Did I do something wrong? Why is he sad?
He shakes his head at me and say, “Ani, I am fine. Chinja, I am.”
“No, you are not.” I say. “If you are, you wouldn’t have said it so many times.”
Something is wrong, and I know it. Why isn’t he telling me?
“I said I am fine. Don’t worry about me.” He told me as he made my sandwich. “Here, eat and go now. You will be late for work.”
Funny, I should be the one who is saying that to him. Instead, he said it to me. Why can’t I even take care of him? I’m just a lousy boss. I can’t even take care of one simple maid in the house.
“I own that place. I’m the boss.” I said. “I can go there anytime I want.”
“You have an urgent meeting to attend today.”
“So?”
“So, you have to go now or else you’re late.”
“Fine.” I pouted and left the house.
“Bye!” He waves at me and closes the door.
I let out a sigh and drive out of my driveway.
Once I got to my company, I couldn’t concentrate at all. All my worries and attention is on my maid. What is he doing now? Did he eat? Is he bored? All of these questions keeps on floating my mind.
“Yo, dude!” My best friend, Top, startles me as he enters my office.
He happens to share the same name as my maid. Therefore, we came up a nickname for those two so we wouldn’t get confuse.
“What’s up?” I greet back.
“What’s with you?” He asks me.
“What do you mean?” I don’t understand what he meant.
“Dude, you weren’t really paying attention at the meeting. I have to cover your ass for you.”
“Mian.” I apologize.
“Anieyo.” He smiles. “So, who got our bachelor’s mind?”
“Seung Ri.”
He looks at me weirdly. “I should’ve known.”
“Why’d you ask then?”
He shrugs. “Just to see if my prediction was correct.”
“Whatever.”
“What did he do this time?”
“Nothing.”
“Nothing…?” He looks at me with that look again. “Chinja?”
“Ne.”
“Don’t believe you.”
“Araso.” I give up. This dude will never let me go until I spill my beans on him.
“Waiting.”
“Okay, okay.” I raise my hands up in surrender. Then I begin to tell him my story of this morning.
“That’s easy.” He said after he listen to my explanation.
“What is?”
“To solve your problem, of course.”
“How is it easy?”
“Take him out to dinner and confess.”
“BOWH!”
“I’m serious.” He said. “You have been admiring him for years now. When are you going to confess to him?”
“Speak for yourself.” I roll my eyes. “I see that you have the eyes for your secretary. What is his name again? K-Kwon… Umm… Ji-Young? Something like that.”
“It’s Kwon Ji-Yong. He is also known G-D or G-Dragon.”
I smirk. “As I was saying, you have should’ve speak for yourself.”
He sighs. “Alright.” Then he continues. “So, are you going to do it?”
“Not until you do it.”
“BOWH!” He shouts at me. “This isn’t about me, man.”
“I don’t care.” I replied. “It’s either you do it also or I ain’t doing it.”
“You suck.”
“I know I do.”
“You suck dicks.”
“Thanks for the obvious.” I roll my eyes at him.
“You loser.”
“How long are you planning to call me names?”
Then he growls. “You’re unbelievable.”
“I love you too.” I smile at him.
“When?”
“When what?” I ask him.
“When do you want to me to do it of course.”
“The sooner the better, right?”
He heaves a sigh. “Fine. Follow me.”
“Now?”
“You said the sooner the better, didn’t you?”
“Ne, but…”
“Just come.” Then he walks out of my office.
This dude can’t be serious. Oh well, I should follow him and see.
“Yo, boy!” He shouts out loud.
Dang, this guy sure knows how to make an entrance. I bow to my workers and tell them to continue with their work.
“Follow me into my office.” He demands his secretary.
Poor guy. I think I made the wrong decision now.
“Sit.” My best friend keeps on giving orders.
“Dude, chill.” I came up to him. Then I whisper to him. “What the fuck are you doing? You’re scaring the little guy instead. Is this your plan on getting him?”
He sighs. “I can’t help it. Whenever I’m near him… I go insane.”
“Figures.” I mumbles. “Well, stop ordering him around and get down to business.”
“Okay.” He heaves another sigh and says… or shall I say order him once again. “Meet me at Seoul Mall at 7pm on Friday. Be there or you're fire!”
I roll my eyes at him. Great! What a great way to win his heart, buddy.
“Y-yes, s-sir.” The poor kid bows his head, not daring to look at his boss.
“See…” I pointed out. “You scared him.”
“Well, I did got my work done.” He smirks at me. “Now it is your turn.”
“Fuck you!” I said. “You didn’t do your work property.”
“You didn’t say that I have to do it in a nice way. We didn’t even say anything about methods or whatsoever.” He points out. “Therefore, my work is done.”
“You…” I huff and puff air into my mouth. “JACKASS!”
“I love you too, buddy.” He winks at me.
I growl under my breath. “I’m out.” I storm out of his office and into mine.
What the fuck was that! He didn’t do his job property! I’m so piss off now. After thinking and debating, I smirk to myself.
I’ll show him how a real man should do it.
The Maid’s P.O.V
Phew! I’m so exhausted now. After cleaning and cleaning, I’m so exhausted. However, I cannot stop yet. I still have to do his laundry and cook his dinner. Oh, that reminds me… I have to go to grocery shopping also. Oi… So many work to do in so little time.
I walk to his room and to his closet. I grab the laundry basket and walk down the stairs to the basement where the laundry machine is located. I dumped all of his stinky clothes and also mine into the washer. Added some laundry soap and then waited. While waiting, I went to the living room and watch some television.
Yes, this is the only time I can rest. Well, not really… but there are so many other things I have to worry.
Grumble Grumble
Oi… I’m hungry! Oh yeah, I forgot to eat breakfast this morning… like always. I check the time. It is three o’clock in the afternoon. Damn, I can’t make anything to eat because I have to run errands soon. Oh well, I guess ham sandwich will do once again.
Yes, I have been eating poorly myself. However, I don’t care as long as master have food in his plate. I will be satisfied.
I ate my sandwich with a smile, thinking about what should I make for master’s dinner. Hmm… pasta sounds good. Chicken Alfredo… Mmm… The taste, the smell, and the sound of it just make me want it. So delicious.
Chomp Chomp
Although, I’m just eating a ham sandwich, it taste like the pasta I will be making for my master tonight.
I guess people are right. If you think about it or dream it… You will get to taste it as if it was real.
This is how I have been living. In the streets, picking garbage after people… until master found me. He saved me from being homeless and an orphan. He took me in with care and love. However, I couldn’t repay him. Therefore, I decided to become his maid in order to pay him with his gratitude. At first, he protest. However, I convinced him. Therefore, over these years I have became his maid and in love.
However, my life is no fairy tale because there is no way master would love a guy like me. There’s no way he would stoop this low and fall for me. He has a bright future ahead of him. I shouldn’t put him down.
As I thought this, tears cascade down. Every time, when I think this. It hurts me. It hurts me to know that this is just a one-sided love… a unrequited love. It hurts to know that there is no way, master would feel the same. It will be a miracle if master does.
As time flies, I realize that I should be going to the store to prepare for dinner. Therefore, I try to finish to fold the clothes as fast as I can.
Then I left the house to the supermarket.
“Ajumma, how much is this?” I ask as I point to the big fat chicken.
“Young man, this is will be 800,000 won.” She replies with a smile.
“800,000 won?” I scratch my head. Isn’t that a little too expensive? “Ajumma, can you lower the price a little?”
“NO!” She immediately objects, and then she gives me a lecture on how it is hard to raise that chicken and this and that.
Oh god… My stupid mouth.
“ARASO!” I shout at her. Fuck respect! She has lost my temper the minute she gave me a lecture on that stupid chicken. “I’LL BUY IT!” Then I throw the money at her. Tch… Stupid lady.
“YAH!” She shouts at me, wanting to give me more lecture.
Fuck you! I ain’t staying just to be scolded by you.
As I keep on walking, I just realize that I need to buy pasta and some other stuff. However, I smell something delicious.
“Mmm…” I was drooling on this food that was grilled on this stick.
“Want some?” An ajusshi asks me.
“Ani.” I shake my head. It is because I don’t have enough money to buy it.
As I want to walk away, my stomach starts to growl again.
Aiyo… I guess the sandwich isn’t enough.
The ajusshi laughs and hands me four sticks. “Eat.”
“Anio. I don’t have enough money.” I try to say it as polite as I can.
“Anieyo.” He smiles at me. “It’s for free.”
“Chinja?” I give him my bright smile. I haven’t smile like this for a long time now.
He nods at me and says, “You must have gone through a lot. You don’t look very well also.”
“Ani, I have been doing well lately.” I lied.
“Boy, don’t lie to this old man.” Ajusshi says. “I can tell that you are happy at your current state. However, you have to take care of yourself also.”
“Gamsahabnida.” I bow down to him in respect.
“Cheonmaneyo, my boy.”
“Annyeong, ajusshi.”
“Annyeong.”
As I left the shop with the four sticks. I happily devour it. Boy, I was so hungry. Now I am satisfied.
As I continue to shop for the ingredients to the Chicken Alfredo Pasta, I realized that I am wasting too many time.
Therefore, I immediately catch the cab and rush to the house to cook.
“Where were you? I was so worried.” I heard my master said as he rushes up to me and gives me a tight hug. “I was about to call the police for a search for you.”
“Mian.” I choked. “I went to grocery shop for dinner. I sort of lost track of time.”
“It’s okay. Next time don’t do this again.” He told me. “You gave me a scared.”
“You’re worried about me?” I ask.
“Of course!” He shouts.
“Mian.” I look down.
“Well, c’mon!” He drags me out of the house.
“Jamkkan Man-Yo!” I shout. “I need to put the things away first.” I hold up the bags in my hand.
“Oh right.” He nods. “Pali.”
The Master’s P.O.V
I got home earlier than usual because I couldn’t stay in my office worrying about him. So, I rush my way to home.
Honey, I’m home! Oh, I wish I can just shout that out loud but instead I shout, “Ri, I’m home!”
There was no response. That’s weird, he usually stands in front of the door whenever he hears my car in the driveway. Where is he?
“Ri…” I search for him in every corner of the house. First, I walk to the kitchen to see no one there. Then I went to the basement to see if he fall asleep while doing laundry again. But nope, he wasn’t there. Ah! His room… “Seung Ri?” I peek into his room. To my surprise, he isn’t there also.
WHERE THE HELL CAN HE BE! NO! HE CAN’T BE ADULTNAP, RIGHT? I have three more places to check before I can panic. Calm down now, Tae Yang. He has to be here. He never left the house without informing me.
I walk to the bathroom. No one.
I walk to my bedroom. Nothing.
Now my last choice is… the garden. Please let him be there. Please let him be there. I slowly walk toward to the backyard to see… NOTHING!
AH! I’M GOING CRAZY! WHERE THE HELL IS HE?
I pace back and forth in the living room to think where can he be at this time of day. As I was pacing in worried, I heard the door open. I rush to see who has enter my house. When I saw him, I immediately rush to him and give him a tight hug.
I might have frighten him a bit, but I don’t care. I’m just happy that he is back home safe.
“Where were you? I was so worried.” I said while he is still in my embrace. I never plan on letting him go anytime soon. Afraid that if I do, he will runaway again. “I was about to call the police for a search for you.”
“Mian.” He choked. “I went to grocery shop for dinner. I sort of lost track of time.”
“It’s okay. Next time don’t do this again.” I told him. “You gave me a scared.”
“You’re worried about me?” He asks.
You wouldn’t dare to ask me that if you knew my true feelings.
“Of course!” I shout at him. Like I said, if only he knew.
“Mian.” He looks down.
“Well, c’mon!” I drag him out of the house.
Fuck the plan about showing who is the man. He gave me a scared. I have to make this clear to him now! I can’t let this happen for the second time. He needs to know how I feel.
“Jamkkan Man-Yo!” He shouts. “I need to put the things away first.” He holds up the bags in his hand.
“Oh right.” I nod. “Pali.”
It took him fifteen minutes to put everything away.
Once he stands in front of me, I drag him into my car and drive away.
It took me thirty minutes to get to the restaurant.
“Any reservation, sir?” The host asks.
“Yes.”
“Name.”
“Dong Young Bae.”
“Ah! The V.I.P room.” He says as he check his list. “Please come this way.”
We follow him to a room in the far back of the restaurant.
“Please enjoy your stay.” The host bows as he left us alone.
“What are we doing here?” He asks me.
“Take a sit.”
The Maid’s P.O.V
We walk into this fancy restaurant called Starlight. It was one of those wealthy people goes to eat.
“What are we doing here?” I ask him once we are alone in this big empty room.
“Take a sit.”
I did as what I was told.
“Well…” I ask.
“Let’s order.”
I have a weird feeling about this. He is acting weird.
“Tell me.” I demand.
“What do you want to eat?” He changes the subject once again.
“No, I want your answer to why are we here when we can eat at home.”
He heaves a sigh. “Alright.”
I stay quiet and listen to what he have to say.
“I like you!” He shouts out his confession to me. “WAIT! No! I LOVE YOU!”
“Eh?”
“I LOVE YOU, LEE SEUNG HYUNG!” He shouts it out like he has been keeping this in him for a long time.
I just blink at him. I couldn’t register what just happen.
“Will you be my namja chingu?” He suddenly asks me.
“Bowh!”
“Be my namja chingu.”
“Chinja?”
“Just answer me.” He rolls his eyes.
“Araso.” I answer. “I will be your namja chingu.”
“Chinja?” It is his turn to ask me.
I nod my head. “I like you too.”
“Really?”
“Yes.” I smile at him. “I love you too.”
He has this big smile on his face as he leans in forward and captures my lips.
A simple kiss turns into a passionate one.
However, he breaks apart and smiles at me.
I was lost in cloud nine. I couldn’t think straight. “What just happen?”
I heard my master laughs. “You have just become my namja chingu.”
I blink once again and pinch myself. “Ouch.” I cried. “It is not a dream.”
My master laughs even harder. “Ri, Ri, you are so cute.”
I blush.
“Shall we order our food?” He asks.
I nod my head. Mind as well since he drag me all over here and going back is just a waste of money when we hardly eat.
“Waiter!” He shouts.
As soon as he shout out, a waiter came in through the door. “Yes, sir.”
“I would like to have this, this, and this, oh… and that.” Master points at the picture on the menu.
Why the hell is he ordering so much just for two people? It is like he is going to have a feast or something.
“That will be all.” I finally heard master says.
How many orders did he order? The whole menu?
“Why are you ordering so much?” I ask.
“You are too skinny. You need to eat more. I am scared one day I will break you if you don’t eat.”
Okay. I give into him and eat a lot that night. We talk and eat the whole night. It is the best night ever with my master who is my namja chingu.
That’s right folks. I AM IN LOVE WITH MY MASTER!
This is how my life has become, and I wouldn’t have change it one bit.
THE END
The Maid’s P.O.V
I wake up early in the morning to take a shower and prepare my master’s breakfast.
As I was preparing my master’s breakfast, I felt two pairs of strong arms wrap around my waist.
“Morning.” He will always greet me.
“Morning, master.” I will always greet him back.
Thump Thump Thump
Oh-no! My heart is acting up again. It will always beat rapidly whenever he is close to me. I always pray that he wouldn’t hear my heartbeat. Sometimes, I have a feeling that he does, but he ignores it. However, I will always let it slid and think that I am crazy.

“The food is burning.” He points out.
OH SHIT! His breakfast!
“OMG!” I shout in fear. “YOUR BREAKFAST!”
“Calm down.” He simply said. “It’s okay.”
“What do you mean by ‘It’s okay’? Because it is not!” I begin to panic. I check the time on the microwave. SHIT! My eyes become wide in shock. It is freaking seven o’clock in the morning. He has to go to work at eight because he has an urgent meeting. DAMN! I just screw up his morning.
“Mianhaeyo!” I apologize to him.
“Waeyo?” He asks. “I said it is nothing.”
“Ani! I can’t let you skip your breakfast.”
“Okay.” He nods his head. “What do you want to do then?”
“Umm…” I thought for awhile. AH-HA! I know…
I grab some bread and put in the toaster. Then I grab some ham and lettuce with some other toppings.
Yes, I am making a ham sandwich for my master. Sad, right? Yes, I know. Well, what do you expect me to do? I burnt his breakfast. There’s no way I am going to be finish cooking in half an hour considering that he has to be in his company at eight.
“Seung Ri, what’s wrong?” My master asks me in concern.
How do I know that he is concern about me? Well, he never calls me by my whole name… well, nickname. My real name is Lee Seung Hyun. However, he doesn’t call me that because he has a best friend who happens to share the same name as me. However, his last name is Choi.
I shake my head at him and say, “Ani, I am fine. Chinja, I am.”
“No, you are not.” He says. “If you are, you wouldn’t have said it so many times.”
Alright. He got me there. Now what?
“I said I am fine. Don’t worry about me.” I told him as I made his sandwich. “Here, eat and go now. You will be late for work.”
“I own that place. I’m the boss.” He says. “I can go there anytime I want.”
“You have an urgent meeting to attend today.”
“So?”
“So, you have to go now or else you’re late.”
“Fine.” He pouted and left the house.
“Bye!” I wave at him and close the door.
Gosh, I feel like I’m his wife instead of a maid. Oh well… I like this feeling.
“Hmm…” I mutter to myself. “AH! I should start cleaning.”
So, the rest of the time I begin to clean.
The Master’s P.O.V

Funny, I should be the one who is saying that to him. Instead, he said it to me. Why can’t I even take care of him? I’m just a lousy boss. I can’t even take care of one simple maid in the house.
“I own that place. I’m the boss.” I said. “I can go there anytime I want.”
“You have an urgent meeting to attend today.”
“So?”
“So, you have to go now or else you’re late.”
“Fine.” I pouted and left the house.
“Bye!” He waves at me and closes the door.
I let out a sigh and drive out of my driveway.
Once I got to my company, I couldn’t concentrate at all. All my worries and attention is on my maid. What is he doing now? Did he eat? Is he bored? All of these questions keeps on floating my mind.
“Yo, dude!” My best friend, Top, startles me as he enters my office.
He happens to share the same name as my maid. Therefore, we came up a nickname for those two so we wouldn’t get confuse.
“What’s up?” I greet back.
“What’s with you?” He asks me.
“What do you mean?” I don’t understand what he meant.
“Dude, you weren’t really paying attention at the meeting. I have to cover your ass for you.”
“Mian.” I apologize.
“Anieyo.” He smiles. “So, who got our bachelor’s mind?”
“Seung Ri.”
He looks at me weirdly. “I should’ve known.”
“Why’d you ask then?”
He shrugs. “Just to see if my prediction was correct.”
“Whatever.”
“What did he do this time?”
“Nothing.”
“Nothing…?” He looks at me with that look again. “Chinja?”
“Ne.”
“Don’t believe you.”
“Araso.” I give up. This dude will never let me go until I spill my beans on him.
“Waiting.”
“Okay, okay.” I raise my hands up in surrender. Then I begin to tell him my story of this morning.
“That’s easy.” He said after he listen to my explanation.
“What is?”
“To solve your problem, of course.”
“How is it easy?”
“Take him out to dinner and confess.”
“BOWH!”
“I’m serious.” He said. “You have been admiring him for years now. When are you going to confess to him?”
“Speak for yourself.” I roll my eyes. “I see that you have the eyes for your secretary. What is his name again? K-Kwon… Umm… Ji-Young? Something like that.”
“It’s Kwon Ji-Yong. He is also known G-D or G-Dragon.”
I smirk. “As I was saying, you have should’ve speak for yourself.”
He sighs. “Alright.” Then he continues. “So, are you going to do it?”
“Not until you do it.”
“BOWH!” He shouts at me. “This isn’t about me, man.”
“I don’t care.” I replied. “It’s either you do it also or I ain’t doing it.”
“You suck.”
“I know I do.”
“You suck dicks.”
“Thanks for the obvious.” I roll my eyes at him.
“You loser.”
“How long are you planning to call me names?”
Then he growls. “You’re unbelievable.”
“I love you too.” I smile at him.
“When?”
“When what?” I ask him.
“When do you want to me to do it of course.”
“The sooner the better, right?”
He heaves a sigh. “Fine. Follow me.”
“Now?”
“You said the sooner the better, didn’t you?”
“Ne, but…”
“Just come.” Then he walks out of my office.
This dude can’t be serious. Oh well, I should follow him and see.
“Yo, boy!” He shouts out loud.
Dang, this guy sure knows how to make an entrance. I bow to my workers and tell them to continue with their work.
“Follow me into my office.” He demands his secretary.
Poor guy. I think I made the wrong decision now.
“Sit.” My best friend keeps on giving orders.
“Dude, chill.” I came up to him. Then I whisper to him. “What the fuck are you doing? You’re scaring the little guy instead. Is this your plan on getting him?”
He sighs. “I can’t help it. Whenever I’m near him… I go insane.”
“Figures.” I mumbles. “Well, stop ordering him around and get down to business.”
“Okay.” He heaves another sigh and says… or shall I say order him once again. “Meet me at Seoul Mall at 7pm on Friday. Be there or you're fire!”
I roll my eyes at him. Great! What a great way to win his heart, buddy.
“Y-yes, s-sir.” The poor kid bows his head, not daring to look at his boss.
“See…” I pointed out. “You scared him.”
“Well, I did got my work done.” He smirks at me. “Now it is your turn.”
“Fuck you!” I said. “You didn’t do your work property.”
“You didn’t say that I have to do it in a nice way. We didn’t even say anything about methods or whatsoever.” He points out. “Therefore, my work is done.”
“You…” I huff and puff air into my mouth. “JACKASS!”
“I love you too, buddy.” He winks at me.
I growl under my breath. “I’m out.” I storm out of his office and into mine.
What the fuck was that! He didn’t do his job property! I’m so piss off now. After thinking and debating, I smirk to myself.
I’ll show him how a real man should do it.
The Maid’s P.O.V
Phew! I’m so exhausted now. After cleaning and cleaning, I’m so exhausted. However, I cannot stop yet. I still have to do his laundry and cook his dinner. Oh, that reminds me… I have to go to grocery shopping also. Oi… So many work to do in so little time.
I walk to his room and to his closet. I grab the laundry basket and walk down the stairs to the basement where the laundry machine is located. I dumped all of his stinky clothes and also mine into the washer. Added some laundry soap and then waited. While waiting, I went to the living room and watch some television.
Yes, this is the only time I can rest. Well, not really… but there are so many other things I have to worry.
Grumble Grumble
Oi… I’m hungry! Oh yeah, I forgot to eat breakfast this morning… like always. I check the time. It is three o’clock in the afternoon. Damn, I can’t make anything to eat because I have to run errands soon. Oh well, I guess ham sandwich will do once again.
Yes, I have been eating poorly myself. However, I don’t care as long as master have food in his plate. I will be satisfied.
I ate my sandwich with a smile, thinking about what should I make for master’s dinner. Hmm… pasta sounds good. Chicken Alfredo… Mmm… The taste, the smell, and the sound of it just make me want it. So delicious.
Chomp Chomp
Although, I’m just eating a ham sandwich, it taste like the pasta I will be making for my master tonight.
I guess people are right. If you think about it or dream it… You will get to taste it as if it was real.
This is how I have been living. In the streets, picking garbage after people… until master found me. He saved me from being homeless and an orphan. He took me in with care and love. However, I couldn’t repay him. Therefore, I decided to become his maid in order to pay him with his gratitude. At first, he protest. However, I convinced him. Therefore, over these years I have became his maid and in love.
However, my life is no fairy tale because there is no way master would love a guy like me. There’s no way he would stoop this low and fall for me. He has a bright future ahead of him. I shouldn’t put him down.
As I thought this, tears cascade down. Every time, when I think this. It hurts me. It hurts me to know that this is just a one-sided love… a unrequited love. It hurts to know that there is no way, master would feel the same. It will be a miracle if master does.
As time flies, I realize that I should be going to the store to prepare for dinner. Therefore, I try to finish to fold the clothes as fast as I can.
Then I left the house to the supermarket.
“Ajumma, how much is this?” I ask as I point to the big fat chicken.
“Young man, this is will be 800,000 won.” She replies with a smile.
“800,000 won?” I scratch my head. Isn’t that a little too expensive? “Ajumma, can you lower the price a little?”
“NO!” She immediately objects, and then she gives me a lecture on how it is hard to raise that chicken and this and that.
Oh god… My stupid mouth.
“ARASO!” I shout at her. Fuck respect! She has lost my temper the minute she gave me a lecture on that stupid chicken. “I’LL BUY IT!” Then I throw the money at her. Tch… Stupid lady.
“YAH!” She shouts at me, wanting to give me more lecture.
Fuck you! I ain’t staying just to be scolded by you.
As I keep on walking, I just realize that I need to buy pasta and some other stuff. However, I smell something delicious.
“Mmm…” I was drooling on this food that was grilled on this stick.
“Want some?” An ajusshi asks me.
“Ani.” I shake my head. It is because I don’t have enough money to buy it.
As I want to walk away, my stomach starts to growl again.
Aiyo… I guess the sandwich isn’t enough.
The ajusshi laughs and hands me four sticks. “Eat.”
“Anio. I don’t have enough money.” I try to say it as polite as I can.
“Anieyo.” He smiles at me. “It’s for free.”
“Chinja?” I give him my bright smile. I haven’t smile like this for a long time now.
He nods at me and says, “You must have gone through a lot. You don’t look very well also.”
“Ani, I have been doing well lately.” I lied.
“Boy, don’t lie to this old man.” Ajusshi says. “I can tell that you are happy at your current state. However, you have to take care of yourself also.”
“Gamsahabnida.” I bow down to him in respect.
“Cheonmaneyo, my boy.”
“Annyeong, ajusshi.”
“Annyeong.”
As I left the shop with the four sticks. I happily devour it. Boy, I was so hungry. Now I am satisfied.
As I continue to shop for the ingredients to the Chicken Alfredo Pasta, I realized that I am wasting too many time.
Therefore, I immediately catch the cab and rush to the house to cook.
“Where were you? I was so worried.” I heard my master said as he rushes up to me and gives me a tight hug. “I was about to call the police for a search for you.”
“Mian.” I choked. “I went to grocery shop for dinner. I sort of lost track of time.”
“It’s okay. Next time don’t do this again.” He told me. “You gave me a scared.”
“You’re worried about me?” I ask.
“Of course!” He shouts.
“Mian.” I look down.
“Well, c’mon!” He drags me out of the house.
“Jamkkan Man-Yo!” I shout. “I need to put the things away first.” I hold up the bags in my hand.
“Oh right.” He nods. “Pali.”
The Master’s P.O.V
I got home earlier than usual because I couldn’t stay in my office worrying about him. So, I rush my way to home.
Honey, I’m home! Oh, I wish I can just shout that out loud but instead I shout, “Ri, I’m home!”
There was no response. That’s weird, he usually stands in front of the door whenever he hears my car in the driveway. Where is he?
“Ri…” I search for him in every corner of the house. First, I walk to the kitchen to see no one there. Then I went to the basement to see if he fall asleep while doing laundry again. But nope, he wasn’t there. Ah! His room… “Seung Ri?” I peek into his room. To my surprise, he isn’t there also.
WHERE THE HELL CAN HE BE! NO! HE CAN’T BE ADULTNAP, RIGHT? I have three more places to check before I can panic. Calm down now, Tae Yang. He has to be here. He never left the house without informing me.
I walk to the bathroom. No one.
I walk to my bedroom. Nothing.
Now my last choice is… the garden. Please let him be there. Please let him be there. I slowly walk toward to the backyard to see… NOTHING!
AH! I’M GOING CRAZY! WHERE THE HELL IS HE?
I pace back and forth in the living room to think where can he be at this time of day. As I was pacing in worried, I heard the door open. I rush to see who has enter my house. When I saw him, I immediately rush to him and give him a tight hug.
I might have frighten him a bit, but I don’t care. I’m just happy that he is back home safe.
“Where were you? I was so worried.” I said while he is still in my embrace. I never plan on letting him go anytime soon. Afraid that if I do, he will runaway again. “I was about to call the police for a search for you.”
“Mian.” He choked. “I went to grocery shop for dinner. I sort of lost track of time.”
“It’s okay. Next time don’t do this again.” I told him. “You gave me a scared.”
“You’re worried about me?” He asks.
You wouldn’t dare to ask me that if you knew my true feelings.
“Of course!” I shout at him. Like I said, if only he knew.
“Mian.” He looks down.
“Well, c’mon!” I drag him out of the house.
Fuck the plan about showing who is the man. He gave me a scared. I have to make this clear to him now! I can’t let this happen for the second time. He needs to know how I feel.
“Jamkkan Man-Yo!” He shouts. “I need to put the things away first.” He holds up the bags in his hand.
“Oh right.” I nod. “Pali.”
It took him fifteen minutes to put everything away.
Once he stands in front of me, I drag him into my car and drive away.
It took me thirty minutes to get to the restaurant.
“Any reservation, sir?” The host asks.
“Yes.”
“Name.”
“Dong Young Bae.”
“Ah! The V.I.P room.” He says as he check his list. “Please come this way.”
We follow him to a room in the far back of the restaurant.
“Please enjoy your stay.” The host bows as he left us alone.
“What are we doing here?” He asks me.
“Take a sit.”
The Maid’s P.O.V
We walk into this fancy restaurant called Starlight. It was one of those wealthy people goes to eat.
“What are we doing here?” I ask him once we are alone in this big empty room.
“Take a sit.”
I did as what I was told.
“Well…” I ask.
“Let’s order.”
I have a weird feeling about this. He is acting weird.
“Tell me.” I demand.
“What do you want to eat?” He changes the subject once again.
“No, I want your answer to why are we here when we can eat at home.”
He heaves a sigh. “Alright.”
I stay quiet and listen to what he have to say.
“I like you!” He shouts out his confession to me. “WAIT! No! I LOVE YOU!”
“Eh?”
“I LOVE YOU, LEE SEUNG HYUNG!” He shouts it out like he has been keeping this in him for a long time.
I just blink at him. I couldn’t register what just happen.
“Will you be my namja chingu?” He suddenly asks me.
“Bowh!”
“Be my namja chingu.”
“Chinja?”
“Just answer me.” He rolls his eyes.
“Araso.” I answer. “I will be your namja chingu.”
“Chinja?” It is his turn to ask me.
I nod my head. “I like you too.”
“Really?”
“Yes.” I smile at him. “I love you too.”
He has this big smile on his face as he leans in forward and captures my lips.
A simple kiss turns into a passionate one.
However, he breaks apart and smiles at me.
I was lost in cloud nine. I couldn’t think straight. “What just happen?”
I heard my master laughs. “You have just become my namja chingu.”
I blink once again and pinch myself. “Ouch.” I cried. “It is not a dream.”
My master laughs even harder. “Ri, Ri, you are so cute.”
I blush.
“Shall we order our food?” He asks.
I nod my head. Mind as well since he drag me all over here and going back is just a waste of money when we hardly eat.
“Waiter!” He shouts.
As soon as he shout out, a waiter came in through the door. “Yes, sir.”
“I would like to have this, this, and this, oh… and that.” Master points at the picture on the menu.
Why the hell is he ordering so much just for two people? It is like he is going to have a feast or something.
“That will be all.” I finally heard master says.
How many orders did he order? The whole menu?
“Why are you ordering so much?” I ask.
“You are too skinny. You need to eat more. I am scared one day I will break you if you don’t eat.”
Okay. I give into him and eat a lot that night. We talk and eat the whole night. It is the best night ever with my master who is my namja chingu.
That’s right folks. I AM IN LOVE WITH MY MASTER!
This is how my life has become, and I wouldn’t have change it one bit.
THE END
