MERCHANT SERIES

Seriously

Kim-Tae Joon's POV

It's been the best week of my life.How?..Well it all started cause of Cia.After we came to an agreement over the bet.I now have an efficient PA.My manager was livid.

"She knows nothing about the entertainment industry"says manager Dongi.

"And she will do just fine"I say with finality.

That was the day Cia started her duties.I thought it would be fun if i asked her to be my pretend girlfriend,but she outright refused.So i settled with having her as my PA.Its been going well,worse still when i discovered she can cook.I now have her in charge of all my meals.Thus if she's not with me on set,then i know she's in the kitchen.My life couldn't be more perfect.Thats why today am going to surprise Cia by helping her out in the kitchen and taking her out to relax.She's worked hard this week.

Cia's POV

"Would i be jailed if,and i say this accidentally but if i put a laxative instead of water in his food?"I ask Roland.Whose currently monitoring the chefs in the kitchen.

"You could say you where trying out a new recipe"giggles the sous chef while the others just laugh.

"It hasn't been that bad"pleads Roland.

"Really,huh tell me if am not here in this kitchen,where am i?"I ask.

"At the site"he says.

"And if am not at the site,where am i?"I ask.

"In the kitchen,but surely this has been good for you.You look more alive,its better than you were before"he tries to defend.

"Hold up,Cia..this is what you look like if you try to look alive....wow i dread what you looked like before this"says the sous chef gesturing to all of me.This cause the kitchen staff to erupt in laughter as i haul an apple at Roland,which hits him in the fore head causing him to yelp.

"Iam only trying to help you!"he screams.

"Really,my hair is a mess,i haven't had a soak in 6days,i hardly have time to rest or am constantly on the move,the other PAs hate me for some reason and sabotage what ever i try to do.Do you know that i have spent the last 2 days having to carry snacks cause whenever i carry food,its either i find worms or cockroaches in it.Meaning i throw away the food i wake up very early to prepare and am getting frustrated because am been body shamed through the various notes that i find on my work station and oh let me not forget how someone tore through my purse and wrote fat pig on my staff Id.Yet i still go to that site every and smile cause i have a debt to pay.Its why these days am to tied to even argue with you!"I say and feel tears slide down my cheeks.

"Oh Cia"says Roland as he quickly rushes over to hug me and tries to lead me out of the kitchen.

"No,i need to prepare Tae-Joon Oppa's meal,you know he won't want anything else these days"I say with a slight chuckle.

Kim-Tae Joon's POV

Am furious after what i just heard.All that happened under my watch and i knew nothing.She was constantly smiling and so friendly with everyone,even the directors love having her on set yet others where treating her like that....

"No,i need to prepare Tae-Joon Oppa's meal,you know he won't want anything else these days"She says with a slight chuckle.Making me more angry,why would she laugh after saying all that?.

I walk into the kitchen,grab her hand and drag her all the way to the secret garden,while she yells at me.We meet Mrs Do who tries to blocks way but my attitude causes her to let us pass.I open the hidden door of the garden,push Cia through and then turn to lock it I place my forehead on the door and close my eyes as I try to reign in my anger.Once my breathing is under control, i turn around to find Cia has gone to sit on the swing and has started swinging.I walk towards her,stop the swing and sit down next to her.
