Another long day of 'work'. Tzuyu sighed and flopped on the bed. Her feet hurt, her room was a mess from hurrying to change this morning and she desperately needed sleep. Did I mention she was hungry?

Usually, she'd order takeouts but she didn't want to risk her address being revealed. Again. Fans. One of the downsides of being the visual of such a big Korean girl group.

"Urgh. And I can't cook. I wish Jihyo was here." Tzuyu whined to herself.

"Madame?"

Tzuyu screamed before tossing a pillow at where she heard the voice was. She turned back and saw a guy around her age. No, older. Twenties? Staring at her, clutching her pillow in his hand.

"So sorry! I kind of popped in unannounced. My name is Y/N. Y/N Fate. I'm.. well, your butler. Your father had me serve you, seeing as your schedule is full." He smiled.

"But.. you speak Korean really well?" Tzuyu said. She could hear the foreign in his voice.

"I went through classes." He replied, before gently placing the pillow on her bed. "I haven't actually had the time to clean up your room. What, with the contracts and cooking dinner. I'm surprised you didn't check the kitchen."

Tzuyu was speechless. She had a butler now? Sure, her father had spoken about sending her help. She expected a maid, or someone female. Not a really handsome butler.

"Well, I expect you do a good job at cleaning my room. I'm going to take a shower, and when I come back it better be clean. And I want dinner here." Tzuyu demanded before heading to the bathroom.

Y/N nodded and bowed. "It will be done."

He waited for her to disappear before quickly going to work on her room. Papers were a mess, clothes practically everywhere. How did this girl survive before him?

He sorted out the papers first. They looked important. With the keyword being 'looked'. He then continued with the clothes. He slipped on gloves before grabbing pieces of her clothes and placing them in a basket he had waiting outside. He was extra careful with her underwear.

After that, he went to fix her bed. He didn't have much time left and he made the fix as simple as possible, seeing as she was already going to sleep. He took the basket of her laundry and slid down the railing, before rushing to the kitchen. He set the laundry down and quickly took her plate of food and ran upstairs, placing it on the table.

He smiled to himself. The room looked much better now. He heard the bathroom door open and quickly slid down the railings to the kitchen to grab the laundry before taking them to the laundry room.

Tzuyu entered the room, and paused. It actually was clean. Much cleaner than she had seen the room in days. No.

Weeks.

Last time it was cleaned, all nine of them had to pitch in. Jeongyeon was irritated to say the least. And it was only her room. She sniffed and glanced at the food on the table, her stomach immediately grumbling. She was lucky that her butler wasn't here.

Speaking of which, there was something about her butler that just.. clicks with her. He looked like one of her old friends about ten years ago. Even had the same last name.

Fate.

S

he closed the door before heading over to her cupboard. She unlocked one of the drawers and took out a box. Inside was pictures of her from her childhood.

Yes, and there he is. The same person, now just older. They were laughing and playing on the swings. She remembered him moving to America shortly after. And life went on.

Her butler was her childhood friend. Ironic, isn't it? Fate. She sighed before taking a seat and having her dinner. Her eyes widened. He could cook? Maybe this wouldn't be as bad as she thought.

Where would he sleep? One of the guest rooms she supposed. It was all so much and she was tired. She finished her food and plopped on her bed once more, inching herself under the blanket.

With a yawn, she quickly fell asleep. There was going to be more tomorrow, with Candy pop being released and all.

Y/N held his ear against the door before slowly opening it and peeking in. "Sorry." He whispered before grabbing her plate and switching off her lights and closing the door behind him.

"Alright. Brilliant." He spoke to himself before finishing up washing the dishes and heading to his room at the furthest end of the hallway upstairs.
