Hyunsuk woke up from a deep sleep, stretching out his muscles on the bed. He flutter his eyes open and looking around the room. "I am not dreaming," Hyunsuk mumble. He was given a room for himself. The room is small, with one single bed, small wardrobe and it have it own air conditioning. Hyunsuk sleep soundly last night after he took shower. His eyes heavy and he goes to sleep immediately.

The door creaked open and Siyeon Nuna coming in, smiling, walking toward Hyunsuk. Siyeon Nuna is not that old, maybe around late 40. She still look pretty and she smile a lot. "Good morning, Hyunsuk." Hyunsuk bow his head a bit and smile. Siyeon Nuna then sit next to Hyunsuk. Eyes looking deep at him. "Did you sleep well ?" Again Hyunsuk nod. "Yes, I sleep very well. This place is great." Siyeon Nuna chuckles. He saw how Hyunsuk really comfortable in that room.

"Anyway, you will start job today. I will teach you everything. First of all, you need to wake up early every morning, since we need to prepare breakfast for young master and his sons." Hyunsuk blushed. He know he waking up late. He doing bad at his first day of job. "Nuna sorry, I should wake up earlier." Siyeon Nuna laughing. She then pat his shoulder. "It's okay. You are tired anyway."

Siyeon Nuna brought Hyunsuk to walk around the mansion. The mansion is a big two-storey house. It have 1 main bedroom and 3 single bedrooms upstairs. Downstairs, it have 2 small rooms which are where Siyeon Nuna and Hyunsuk sleep. Siyeon and Hyunsuk entered a room, a reading room to be exact. It have a table with chair, book shelves on the wall, couch and a coffee table. It so comfy. "This is young master working room. He will do his works, reading here especially during weekend." Hyunsuk nod. Siyeon then brought him to enter the main bedroom. The bedroom have king size bed, with baby blue bed cover. Hyunsuk's eyes fall on fresh flowers on the side of the bed. "Those are real flowers, right ?" Hyunsuk asked. Siyeon nod. "You need to change it once per 2 days." Hyunsuk was shocked. "Me ?" "Yes, you will help me.

It is around 1 pm when Hyunsuk heard some voices entering the big mansion. Hyunsuk peeked from the kitchen and he can see two unfamiliar faces. "Maybe, his sons." Hyunsuk deducted. Well, Hyunsuk is correct. That are Jihoon's two sons, Junghwan and Jeongwoo. They just arrived home from school, still in their school uniform. Hyunsuk walk out, want to serve the two teenagers their lunch. Both of them looking at Hyunsuk from head to toes. "Who is this ?" Jeongwoo looking at Siyeon with questioned face. Siyeon smiling. "This is Hyunsuk, call him Hyunsuk hyung. He is the new maid." Both of them gasp. Junghwan eyeing Hyunsuk. He saw Hyunsuk look small, and have pretty face for a man. He then suddenly smiling and it make Hyunsuk confuse. "Welcome Hyung. I am Jungwhan. Call me Hwanie !" Junghwan said with enthusiast. Hyunsuk smiling at Junghwan. "Hi Hwanie !" He then shift his head to Jeongwoo. "And you are ?" Jeongwoo looking at Hyunsuk with cold face. He is scanning through Hyunsuk. "Jeongwoo." Short and cold answer. Hyunsuk just smile and nod. "Now, you may leave. We want to eat." Hyunsuk snapped back at how cold Jeongwoo is. But he just follow the order and walk to leave them.

"You can tell me how you meet young master if you want. But no pressure." Siyeon talking to Hyunsuk while they busy preparing for dinner. Hyunsuk looking at Siyeon and smile bitterly. The memories quite painful to him but at least, he is at better place, having better life. "We .." Hyunsuk sigh. "I don't know how to tell you this but, I can say, master Jihoon save my life. I owe him a lot." Siyeon smiling. As expected, Jihoon is a nice guy but looking at how Jihoon brought Hyunsuk home, that so unusual with him. 10 years after dirvorced, Jihoon never brought any guy or woman to his house. Hyunsuk is the first one. "Young master never brought anyone home, I am quite surprise last night." Siyeon said while she busy peeling potatoes. Hyunsuk who is busy doing the same thing stop. "Where is his husband ? or wife ?" Siyeon looking at Hyunsuk, then she smile.

Jihoon was married to his ex husband, 15 years ago. They married at such a young age, when both of them just finish high school. Jihoon's ex husband, Mashiho is from a very wealthy family, born with a silver spoon, a contrast to Jihoon's family. A year after marriage, they welcomed their first born, Jeongwoo while Jihoon still struggling doing part time job and studying in university. Mashiho have to give up his study after he got pregnant. This was why Mashiho's parents start to meddle with their marriage. After Jeongwoo turn 1 year old, they welcome their second born, Junghwan and this is the start of their wrecked marriage. Mashiho whine that he have to live struggling with Jihoon and they fought a lot. When Jeongwoo was 4 years old, they officially divorced and Mashiho married a wealthy man from Japan, Yoshinori. He left his two sons with Jihoon since his father hate them. After the divorce, Jihoon struggle to live, juggling his part time job, study and taking care of his sons.

He almost giving up his study but then he met Siyeon, a nuna that work together with him at a cafe. She offered to look after his sons when he is going to campus. After graduate, Jihoon getting a very big offer from YG Entertainment as head department of design and at the age of 28, Jihoon completely can stand on his own, buying big house, cars and able to send his sons to private school. He even hire Siyeon as maid and babysitter of his sons since she a widow, with no children. He took her in and consider Siyeon as a family.

Hyunsuk jaw dropped when he heard Jihoon's stories. Seems like he struggle a lot to achieve what he had now. "He must be very strong and hardworking." Siyeon smiling. "He is. Since then, he never going out with any man or woman, even I told him to find one." Siyeon chuckles. "I really hope he settle down with someone one day. Someone that really can take care of him." Hyunsuk nod. He understand Siyeon must be wanting Jihoon to find happiness again after all those struggles.

Jihoon came back home late. He went straight to the kitchen and looking for foods. He haven't eat anything. There are many works waiting for him the all day and now he is starving. "You just coming back ?" Siyeon appear behind Jihoon. Jihoon turn around and smile. "Yeah, I am starving." Jihoon pouting, earn a chuckles from Siyeon. A 35 years old man still acting cute and Siyeon adore him for that. "Let me heat up some foods." Siyeon then step forward, putting some leftover foods in microwave and start heating it. Jihoon sipping cold water, sitting on stool next to kitchen island. "Have Junghwan and Jeongwoo asleep ? Did they do their homework ?" Siyeon nod. "Yes, they did. Hyunsuk prepare snacks for them too." Jihoon choke on his drink. "Are you okay ?" Jihoon's face is red. He then nod and wipe his lips. "Yeah, I am okay."

Jihoon shocked when he heard Hyunsuk's name. Well, he kind of forget that the man is in his house now. Jihoon clear his throat before he talking. "Is he okay ? Can he do any work ?" Siyeon turn around and smile. "He is good. All these foods, cooked by him too." Jihoon nod. "That's good then." Siyeon walk toward Jihoon. He want to investigate the younger while waiting for the foods to ready. "Hyunsuk told me, you save his life. What is that ?" Jihoon look up and gulped. "I pity him, that's why .." Siyeon smirk. This is not usual of Jihoon. "But you brought him home .." Jihoon scratch on his nape. "He have nowhere to go, so, nothing wrong with that." Siyeon laugh a bit when he saw Jihoon's face already red. "He's cute, Jihoon. Pretty face." Jihoon smile. He know what Siyeon means. "He is young, naive." Siyeon sigh. She then walk to take the foods out from microwave. "Well, I know deep down you know he is cute."
"He is," Jihoon mumble but Siyeon still can catch it. She turn around and smile. "Then get to know him. Nothing wrong with that." Jihoon chuckles and shake his head. "No, nuna. I already giving up with relationship. Let thing be like this only."

It's been a week Hyunsuk stay at the mansion. He quite use to the surrounding and he love his room so much. Today Hyunsuk woke up in the middle of night because he need to use toilet. After finish with his business, Hyunsuk went to the kitchen, to drink water. The weather quite bad outside. Thunder and lighting appear. Hyunsuk actually afraid of that kind of weather. He try to drink quickly and return to his room. When he about to exit the kitchen, a lighting strike and electric power suddenly cut off. Hyunsuk who are shock scream and he quickly cover his mouth, not wanting to wake others. "Are you okay ?" Hyunsuk jump from his place but then, a second lighting strike again, Hyunsuk automatically clinging, hugging the person who talked to him a while ago. He shivered in fright. He even buried his face on that person chest and almost tears up. "Are you okay ?" The person ask again and Hyunsuk shake his head. The person rub on his back and patting his head.

"Young master, are you okay ?" Someone with flashlight appear. The flash directed toward them and Hyunsuk lifted his head. He was shocked when he found out that he actually hugging Jihoon. His face turn very red and his heart race fast. Jihoon looking at him and smile. "You okay ?" He ask again and then Hyunsuk nod. "I .. I am okay."

"The main switch turn off. I will turn it on real quick. The house security guard telling Jihoon and he nod. "Okay, do it quick, before my sons woke up." The guard nod and walk away leaving Jihoon and Hyunsuk in darkness again. Hyunsuk surprise when Jihoon grabbed his hand. "I will send you to your room. You must be frightened." Hyunsuk's heart pound fast, as he follow Jihoon steps in front of him.

"Heart, calm down."
