Climbing up the stairs seemed like mountain hiking for the runaway lady, and her weighty baggage was not helping.

"Are we there yet?" Sulli struggled for her next step on the apparently unending stairwell. Fortunately, Minho appeared to be chivalric and carried her luggage. Knowing her manners, she uttered the simplest words of gratitude, "Thank you."

"Oh really, I'm such a compassionate handsome gentleman," Minho praised himself, thinking of his charitable actions. His cocky statement made Sulli cringe, but she can only roll her eyes and heave a sigh, remembering that she was still in debt to him.

Still ascending towards their destination, Minho began to ask, "I should've asked you earlier. Can you do laundry-"

"That's easy, right? That's why washing machines are invented!" Sulli did not let him finish his question and responded with naivety.

"...manually?" he continued, making the clueless girl pout. Minho confirmed what he needed to know and moved on to his next question. "Umm ok, do you know how to wash the dishes?"

Smugly, Sulli raised her chin up and put her hands on her waist, "Hah, that's too simple!" Minho paused and gave her a judging look. "I-I can use a dishwasher," she said as she slowly dropped her arms from her waist to her side, confidence fading.

"Nah, forget it." Minho sighed heavily. "Do you know how to clean the house?" he asked her once again while they continued going up. Sulli thought carefully, causing silence for a while. Hesitating, she answered, "Umm, do you have a vacuum cleaner?"

He shook his head with a hint of annoyance. "Do you know how to do anything that does not need any machines?"

Sulli scoffed. Hearing those words somewhat hurt her pride, so she answered back. "Hey! I know how to cook!"

Finally, Minho stopped at a doorstep and knocked. Sulli saw a boy opening the door.

"Hyung, you're finally here! Did you get wet in the rain?" Yoogeun asked as he opened their door. His eyes widened hugely, a trait both shared by the Choi brothers, seeing a girl behind his brother. "I was just joking, hyung. How did you get a girlfriend so fast?" The newcomers simultaneously shook their heads in denial.

"Ah, you little rascal." Minho did his habit of ruffling his brother's hair. "By the way, Yoogeun, she is Sulli, and she is not my girlfriend," he introduced Sulli to his brother, and he introduced Yoogeun to Sulli as well.

"Hi, Sulli-noona! But if you are not his girlfriend, then what's your relation with my brother?" Yoogeun asked, furrowing his brows.

She just couldn't straightly say her main reason for being there. "Umm, I-I'm here because..."

"She will be our maid from now on. Let's go inside, shall we?" Minho cut in out of impatience and gestured the two to go inside.

Sulli's jaw dropped at the sight of clutter all around the place. So I'll be cleaning up all of these?

Minho saw her shocked reaction then cleared his throat. "It's already late. Just take care of these mess tomorrow," he told her while trying not to reveal his hidden embarrassment of letting other people see their mess. "Let's all rest now!" He stretched his arms and turned to proceed to his room.

"Hey, wait." Sulli interrupted, making Minho stop from his position and face her. "What?" he asked with an annoying tone.

"So, where will I sleep?"

Yoogeun got some blankets and comforters and gave them to his brother who was arranging the room. "Hyung, are you serious that noona is our maid?" The kid tilted his head to the side as he asked. "I thought you said we don't have money for a maid?"
