My Possessive Butler | Taoris

Chapter 3

Tao's POV

I woke up and felt my head throbbing. I tried to sit up but the dizziness was taking over so i lie back down while gently massaging my temple, eyes shut tight. Argh. This must be the effect of crying myself to sleep.

After a couple of minutes, i opened my eyes and felt a little better than before. I slowly sat up and looked at my surrounding. Hyung wasn't here anymore, maybe he left already.

I walked to my bathroom and did my thing before going downstairs. I saw my butler doing his usual task, arranging the plates and helping out the maids in the kitchen. I must say that he was an interesting butler. He always put up a cold face but his voice was gentle and he's quite interested in books. He look smart though or maybe he really is.

I shrugged and shook the thoughts away, making my way at my usual chair and begun eating the food that was made by our professional cook. He's been loyal to us for so long that made us treat him not just a professional cook but also a part of the family. We're not that close but he's really kind.

After eating up my breakfast, i headed outside to the garden to get some fresh air. As i was getting near at the garden, i saw a familiar guy, his back was facing me but I'm sure that it's Suho hyung. I recognize him by his height. And here thought he already left. I approached Suho hyung and grabbed his shoulder, making him face me.

"Yah! I told you that you're not allowed here yet!" His eyes went wide but soon turn into a frown with matching pouting lips. I wish he didn't do that, it doesn't suit him, not at all.

"You won't let me in here but you're already letting your new butler? Hmp, I'm jealous" What?! I looked around and saw my butler arranging some of my mom's plants. My mom's plants! And i thought he was inside?!

I quickly went to him, slightly pushing him away from my mom's plants. I glared at him, stopping him from doing something any further. "Who told you that you can come here?! And you even touched my mom's plants!" I growled but he remained his composure that made me more irritated. How can he remain so calm while I'm getting all mad here?!

He bowed, show of respect and fixed his suit before speaking. "Your father ordered me to arrange some of the plants in here and basically allowed me in here" he spoke calmly while giving me a intense gaze. I felt my face heat up but not because of embarrassment, it's due to the fact that my anger was rising. My father?!

I immediately went to my father's office, noisily opened the door. I saw him in front of his desk with tons of paper, he was wearing his reading glasses while writing something on one of the papers but i was too angry to care about it.

"Dad! Haven't i told you that i still don't approve of letting someone else beside you and me in the garden?! I haven't even let Suho hyung who i know for so long and yet you let Kris who i only have known a few days ago?!"

He sighed and took off his glasses. "Why aren't you letting anyone else see your mom's garden? Wouldn't your mom be happy if her garden's beauty will be seen by others?" I turned silent. His question bothers me because the truth is, i also don't know why i badly want to keep it to myself. I don't know why i keep having doubts on people that surrounds me except for my dad. Or maybe because i was just scared to lose my memories of my mom? Scared to let go of her?

"I just.... Want to keep her memories only for us. I know it's selfish but it just felt like her memories was meant to be kept only for ourselves" i answered him but it was just half of my thoughts, I don't want him to think that I'm a scaredy-cat. I felt a hot liquid rolled down on my cheeks but i quickly wiped it away. I saw my dad stood up and walked up to me. He gently tap my back in comfort.

"Okay then, if that's what you want. I guess I'll just agree on your decision for now" i looked at him and flashed one of my genuine smile which cause him to smile too. I'm glad this matter is solved for now. "Thank you!"

"So, how did it go?" I heard someone's voice getting nearer and saw Suho hyung with a plate of cookies in his hand.

"Eh? You're still here?" I kiddingly said. And he pouted once again. He walked towards the couch and sat down, still pouting. "Please hyung, stop pouting" i rolled my eyes and sat beside him. I was about to get cookie but he blocked my hand.

"Go get your own" whut the?!

"But that's plenty of cookies!" I whined while trying to grab a cookie but he's hands were too fast to blocked them. I looked at him with puppy eyes but he shooked his head. Oh, he wants to encounter my special power. I smirked, already imagining myself eating bunch of cookies.

I curled up my hands and brought them up to my cheeks, lips pouting while wearing puppy eyes. "Bhuing~ bhuing~"

I saw his eyes went wide before looking away, handing me the plate of cookies which i happily took. "You're lucky that your cuteness still works on me" i ignored the fact that he rolled his eyes and happily ate one of the cookies. "That's one of my advantages" i said as swallowed a cookie while giggling at the sight of my hyung's face
