yet again somehow time has been passing very slowly just another week feels like a year for me, the mansion is yet again very ghostly, many might call it professional to work without making a sound, but I call it boring

and again whispers of young maids working here, I wish they directly came to talk with me but I guess they're too uncomfortable

for a person like me, its enough I get to work here

as I was indulging in my thoughts, someone taps on my shoulder

y/n: ah jisoo, is everything alright

jisoo a woman in her late 20s is also a newbie like me, she joined a month before I did, so that's how we're relating, I'm grateful to have her by my side, she's a bit older than me, and has experienced working in many other well-known houses, and here i am, a person who has never worked as a maid before

i somehow still am very good at my work since i live alone and have to do all the things by myself

but there are some things that jisoo helps me with, and I'm very thankful for her

jisoo: nothing, just finished with the sixth floor

y/n: isn't that the last floor....

jisoo: yeah sure the haunted floor, isn't that what everybody's calling it

well, yes, somehow jisoo is the only one appointed in that floor, many of us are pretty scared to go that place because of rumors of it being haunted

because of one room, a room that's been closed since even before some of us joined here, no ones allowed to go in and clean it, it just sits there with a huge lock on it, and no one knows where the key is at

y/n: no its not like that, I'm just worried since your the only one doing all the work there, and that the floor that gets dirty very fast due to the opened windows on either side of the hallway isn't it

jisoo: nah its fine with me, I'm getting paid extra, so id say its worth it

y/n: hehe sure.

a girl quickly runs up to us, catching up on her breath she says

maid: master jungkook is calling for you

y/n: ah yes, thank you for coming all the way here

i run down as soon as possible

-------------

y/n: master, you've called for me?

jungkook: yes, have a seat

he gestures me to the seat in front of him

y/n: its ok, i can stand...

jungkook: don't make me repeat myself again

y/n: sorry

i sit in front of him as he looks into an invitation card with a smirk on his face, he then slides in my direction

i look up at him with confusion

jungkook: get ready we're going to a party together

y/n: what-

jungkook: don't question, just do as i say

y/n: yes of course

he gets up and faces the window in the back, his back silhouette looks very elegant

jungkook: be ready to scare the life out of some people

y/n: huh..why

he turns to me and walks over, he caresses my face from my forehead to my lips and lifts my chin up to face him

jungkook: because this face you have right here, your eyes, nose, and lips, everything is very dangerous and fatal to some people we're about to meet

i don't know if he could tell i was blushing or not

i gulp on my saliva

y/n: y-yes master

he then proceeded to press a button on his desk, to which up to at least 20 servants and maids come running

jungkook: get her ready

they all bow down and the maids grab my hands and take me out, but just before i was out of the room

jungkook: and remember this carefully, your name will be aeri

_____________________________________________

why aeri, who's aeri in the first place, aeri, aeri, aeri...is all I keep hearing since the day I've stepped my foot here, it doesn't bother me, but it just feels somehow very close to me but at the same time not

the maids slowly put on this black silky dress on me, it looks very similar to the one hung on the picture near the stairs

I feel chills on my back as I heard loud footsteps coming through the door

I turn back to see jungkook dressed up in a black suit, matching my dress

he looks at me from top to bottom, twice before coming forward, but he doesn't touch me, he just sways his hands like a millimeter away from my skin, as if scanning my whole body

but there's again this pained expression I see on his face, I really do want to ask him about it but..

jungkook: then shall we go....𝒂𝒆𝒓𝒊.

it feels kind of weird and haunting to me that he's using this very familiar yet a very distant name to call me, I don't know what's happening to me, it's as if this new personality has taken over my body

I take his hand, as we walk out all the servants In the house, eyes on me holding onto jungkook, i could feel the piercing gazes from some of them

jungkook slowly leads the way, i follow his huge footsteps, not making any sound, but my breath is getting heavier

by the time we reached the limos, I was already about to pass out

i get in but my feet slip in exhaustion, but a warm hand catches me from my waist

jungkook: be careful now

he says with his sweet ethereal voice

i get in as quickly as possible he then takes a seat right beside me

we drove for a few minutes before reaching this huge hotel, it was more like a palace itself than a hotel

as we get off the guards surround us to push away the crowd in front

i couldn't believe i was being treated like a celebrity all of a sudden

jungkook takes my hand into his, and just like that my breath was taken away

his hand was warm and very comfortable to hold onto, and his black eyes held onto mine while we were showered with cameras and flashing lights

he looked at me as if assuring me that "he was there, for me"

as his warmth spread through my hands, we walked in, hand in hand, I was hesitant of course but it felt soothing and calm somehow

he reached in front of a hall filled with people...very important people, some very famous celebrities as well

just as we walked in, the attention of all the people laid on us, it went silent, the tension in the air felt denser

everyone stood up to greet jungkook, from world-famous actors to talented musicians and pop stars

I just stood behind jungkook, trying my best not to seek any attention from all these people

suddenly someone comes to greet us....
