Forever

Chapter 3: Deck of Cards

"Ah~~~~ So full~~~" Lia groans, holding on her slightly bloated stomach. All five of them are sitting in the common room, their stomachs overly filled and eyes droopy.

"You guys are monsters... Was all the 'We can bring them back?!' a facade? You wiped the table clean...." Yeji burps, leaning more into the armchair.

"Pizzas and spaghetti are the best... Cola too...." Yuna giggles, adjusting her head on Ryujin's lap before falling asleep. Ryujin flicks Yuna's nose gently, waking Yuna back up again.

"Hey, no falling asleep. The delivery will be here at 5.00. We need to receive them." Ryujin reminds her staff of the upcoming task.

"Aww.... That sucks..." Chaeryeong sighs.

"Relax. Take a little nap. There are about two hours till then." Yeji waves them, lifting up the leg rest before shutting her eyes. With Yeji taking the lead, one by one they fall asleep, snoring softly before the intercom's buzzer awakens them all. Their five o'clock have arrived, awaiting them at the main gate with their beds.

"Delivery from Dreamland for Madam Hwang Yeji." The deliveryman announces.

"Duly noted. We will receive you at the front gate." Ryujin replies, fixing her bedhead before going to the garage with Chaeryeong and Lia. Yuna on the other hand is opening the main entrance's double door wide. Yeji fixes her hair tie, waiting with Yuna at the main entrance.

"Yeji, what are you doing here?" Yuna frowns at her.

"What are you saying? Helping you, of course."

"Eh? No, no, no. We got this. So just..." Yuna points elsewhere, shooing Yeji away.

"Oi. You think I'm not strong enough? Are you looking down on me, you cheeky rabbit?" Yeji's vein pops on her forehead, sneering at Yuna as she pinches Yuna's cheek, making her yelps.

"Aieee! No! You're the lady of the house! This is our job to begin with!" Yuna taps on Yeji's hand, begging to be let go.

"I told you before that there's no such thing!" Yeji refutes, letting Yuna's cheek go, finally.

"No. You never said anything like that. All you ordered us to do was drop the title and honorifics. There was nothing on our job's description." Yuna snaps back, ticking on Yeji's nerve this time.

"Why you- Yah! Why are you nitpicking on whatever craps I had said before?! Let me do what I want!" Yeji triangle holds Yuna's head, giving her a noogie for being a smartass.

As for Ryujin and her employees, they are driving the vehicles. Ryujin is driving a small pickup truck while Lia and Chaeryeong are driving a forklift each. When they opened the main gate, the deliverymen were shocked with their reception. Ryujin gives a short bow, asking the deliverymen to load the mattresses on the pickup truck and the bed frames on the forklifts.

"Uh... We.. uh.. we can deliver this right to the doorstep. The payment even includes the setup of the items..." The deliveryman scratches his head, wondering about the scene in front of him.

"My apology, sir. But the master of this mansion prohibited any outsider from entering the ground, even if they're from the delivery." Ryujin politely bows, explaining the situation at hand.

Despite the absurd rule; WHICH is probably a big fat lie since Yeji never said anything as such, the deliverymen still help the ladies loading up the packages up on the truck and forklifts. After signing the delivery form, the ladies bows at the deliverymen, sending them away before bringing all the packages back to the mansion.

"Wait, where are the deliverymen? I thought I've paid for the installation fee too." Yeji tipping on her toes, trying to seek the glimpse of the said men from afar.
