After hours of filing away paper work, making phone calls, sanitizing surfaces, prepping food for the chef and scrubbing down bathroom floors, I was dismissed to go to my room. I opened the door and collapsed onto my bed. The silk sheets felt especially nice and seemed to be calling me into a blissful sleep, but before I could do so, a knock appeared at my door.
"Who is it?" I asked. The door opened and the maid stepped in.
"Lady Ah, dinner is ready down stairs."
"Thank you, I'll be right out."
Won Soojin, she was a nice, quiet lady in her late forties, who I learned had been with the Jeon ever since she was a young student in high school.
I went down stairs to the dining room and quickly noticed the waft of aromas in the air. I took my seat, along with the rest of the servants, and watched as Chef Wu came out with the delicious looking plates of food. I soon came to notice the empty seat next to me at the head of the table. Where was Jungkook? Everybody else seemed to notice as well.
I heard the door open behind us, but it was only the butler walking in. "Master Jeon will not be dining with us this evening due to some work he had to finish, but he wishes us a great feast," he announced.
"Then, a feast it shall be!" Chef cheered; the mood in the room and everyone in it lightened up.

The food was great, but the exhaustion from the day over took my body and I excused myself from the table. I tiredly pulled myself up the stairs and down the hall to my room. I walked in and was prepared to throw myself onto the bed, but something caught my eye that stopped me. There was a red box left on my bed. I picked it up and took a look at the note that was taped to the top of the box.

If you're going to be seen with me, I can't have you walking around in those shoes of yours. Consider this a business investment.

I took a little peak inside the box and inside I saw a lovely pair of brown female Oxfords. I put the lid back on and brought the box with me to Jungkook's study.
I knocked; nobody replied, so I slowly pushed open the door. The lighting was dim and Jungkook was sitting at his desk, working on something.
"What do you need?" He looked up and saw the red box in my arms. "Oh."
"I came to return these to you."
"Why?" He put down the pen he was using.
"I can't accept these; they're too nice."
"They come with the job."
"My job is to serve you, I don't need fancy shoes to do so."
"You're right. Your job is to serve me and as your master I'm telling you to put them on." He looked at me and I look at him back. I fought an internal battle with myself and the more seconds that passed the more I felt myself losing to him and this his stupid game.
"As you wish, master," I obeyed.
I kicked off my old shoes and put on the ones he got me. I had to admit they were pretty nice, but the small heel to them was going to need some time to get use to.
"Suitable shoes to help you serve your master," he said before looking back down at his work.
"I would've helped you, if you were busy, master." I said walking over to his desk.
"Hey! Take two steps back, you're getting to close." He pointed.
I rolled my eyes, at his childlike behavior, but did as I was told.
"You look very tired, master."
He sighed out of exhaustion. "You do too."
"I'm fine."
"It's getting late, go sleep."
"Is that an order?"
"Yes," he chuckled, "that's an order."
"Good night, sir." I bowed before exiting the study.
I checked my phone for the time, 11:45 pm. "Aish," I cried out. I have an 8:00 o'clock class tomorrow morning.

Ah Li-Nah, how long will your loyalty for her last?
