Yeoreum's POV

We headed towards the dining room as I sat in front of him and he stared at me. "Is there something on my face?" I asked him as he looked away when the maids came in.

"Oh did you guys wait for long?" Uncle Kim asked politely. I shook my head and grinned back. Aunt Laila sat beside me. There's two empty seats. I guess the one is for Mrs Lee and the other one is extra.

I shrugged and we started to eat.

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

Once I finished my food, I took my plate and brought it to the sink. I was about to wash my dishes when Aunt Laila stopped me. "Oh it's okay Yeoreum, let me do the dishes." She smiled.

"Ani, let me do this. You guys can do your other jobs." I said politely as she nodded and told the other maids that I'll be doing the dishes.

While I was washing the dishes, Seokmin stood behind me with his plate on his hands. I turned behind my back. "Seokmin-ah, let me do the dishes." I smiled to him and took his plate from him.

He looked at me for awhile and then he left. 'He didn't even smile to me.' I thought and continued washing the dishes.

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

I walked from the kitchen as I saw Seokmin was watching the television. I sat beside him, tried to talk to him. "Omo! Did you watch this too?! Wah me too! I really love this cartoon. It's my favourite!" I happily said as I realised that he's watching my favourite cartoon. Adventure Time!

He looked at me and then back to the television as my smile faded away. 'I can't give up right now.' I thought. I didn't want to disappoint my dad and Mrs Lee.

"Who is your favourite character? I love Finn so much! He's so cute and amazing!" I said happily to him but he seems didn't care. He looked at me as if he was saying 'the hell girl, can you stop? I'm tryin' to focuse here!'

My smile vanished away as I looked back at the television and so do he. I sighed. How am I going to make him talk? Someone please help me. (╥﹏╥)

I tried to make him talk but suddenly I took a look at the television, I burst out laughing. "AHAHAHAHA omo poor Jake being hit on the head by the ball! Look! He's crying awww hahahaha." I put my hand on my stomach and laughed out loud.

I realised that he was looking at me. Oh god now he can see how ugly am I while laughing. Great.

I immediately stopped laughing as I took the little cushion and buried my face to it. I said "how am I going to make him talk?" but it heard like I was saying an alien language. I lifted my head and looked at him.

"Can you talk? Even just a word? Or at least smile? Or nod or shake your head?''

He looked at me. "Can you?" He looked back at the television. "Great." I whispered to myself as get up from the couch and went upstairs to my new room.

I landed softly on my new bed, hugging my bunny blanket and thinking on how am I going to make him talk. I keep thinking and thinking until I fell asleep.

Author' POV

Yeoreum felt a light poke on her shoulder. 'Urgh who's disturbing my beauty sleep?' She thought as she opened her eyes and saw Seokmin kneeled down in front of her. She was a little bit shocked so she quickly sat on her bed.

"Seokmin? What are you doing here?" She asked him althought she know that her question are such a waste.

He stood up and pulled her wrist. "Hey, what-" He brought her to the bathroom, he turned on the tap water as he let go of her wrist.
