Mendacity || KTH

11.

I was suddened by his request, I mean in the morning he didn't accept my help, now what? His eyes were soft he was like the puppy asking for something, I didn't know why he was looking like this, he can literally order me do anything cause I'm his maid. But he didn't order me, he asked me.

I nodded,"sure thing",

He smiled to himself but directly looked at me with taking it away,"Sit", he patted on the bed beside him,

I was nervous but I directly sat down, I mean he won't do anything wrong, HE'S THE GRETCH GURL!

I started feeding him and I swear, he was eating like a hungry animal, he snatched directly whatever I held in the chopsticks,

"I'm sorry if the food isn't en-",

"It's alright", he cut me shoving another spoonful rice,

"Actually Mrs.Lee was sleeping and I cooked your food, I'm sorry if it's not delicious enough", I explained ,

"I know", he said after swallowing what was in his mouth, "I know Mrs.Lee's cooking, and by the way you're not that bad, the food is good though ",

Ah! Stop it!
No please keep on praising me, it sounds satisfying actually, okay girl focus.

I didn't intend to but I think a small smile was planted on my lips as I was thinking and he saw it, which made him smile as well! I swear to god I saw him, but he managed not to show me and I dont know why, I mean he keeps on doing this! Come on!

"What did your mom use to call you? I mean your nickname.", he asked out of a sudden and a weird question though,"Your name is kind of hard to pronounce ",

Huh? We have the same prefix boy! The first 3 letters of our names were the same,"Tini", I took a spoonful rice and approached it to his mouth and placed a hand under his mouth so if he'd spill anything, it'll land on my hand,

"Tini? But you don't have an "n" in your name", he opened his huge mouth to shove the rice in, his mouth was like a cave!

"Well it was a nickname, it doesn't have to contain the same letters", I explained,

"Do you know what did my mom use to call me?", he looked happy,

Even though I was suddened by his question, and even his sudden opening up, but I was glad we were having a conversation, its really better than fighting,"what?",

"TAETAE", he had a smile on his face,"Well it was from the past", he sighed,

I was going to open mouth to ask him but I think he read my mind,

He looked at me," Even though I was very small, but my mom set everything for me , my Nickname, my toys she even designed my wedding suit", he smiled," and my wife's wedding ring",

He stood up from his place towards the closet that Soomi always warned me about, he took out set of keys from his pocket and opened a drawer taking out a small box , he sat back on the bed and showed me the ring,"here it is",

It was a very nice ring, it was so simple, it was thin and gold, and in the middle it held a diamond, it was totally a Gretcha's ring.

"It's so nice", I still had my eyes opened,"Her majesty had a good taste actually ",

He smiled as he looked at the ring," she loved simple things, it was her wedding ring too",

"May I ask how did she die?", I wanted to know badly,

He sighed," No", he took the ring in his palm and made fists , he was angry,"I killed her ",

He didnt say anything else he was looking at the ground tears in his eyes, but I was shocked by him, HE KILLED HER? , what is that supposed to mean?

I took his reaction as a sign to leave so I took the empty dishes and headed to my sleep after washing them.

"Happy with your new life",
"Can't you leave me alone?",
"I can't handle seeing you happy",
"You're sick ",
"You'll regret getting away",
"It was worth it, being a made is much better than being with you",

I was heading to the Gretch's office, he probably wanted me to write something for him.

I entered and did the same as last time, he only told me what to write, nothing else, I finished and stood up from the chair as he was looking through the papers, he stopped me before I could take Any step,

"She bleeded so hard when she gave birth to me",he was still looking through the papers,"she didnt leave her bed for 6 months, she took care of me even though she was suffering", I was still silent,he took a deep breathe,"you can leave",

He didn't look at me the whole time,but the weird thing is that he was opening up, I wasn't mad actually, he seemed like he needed someone to listen to him and I was glad he chose me.

I headed back to the kitchen as I saw one of the guards giving a warm hug to Mrs.Lee, he might be her son? They noticed me and Mrs.Lee directly assigned for me to come closer, and I obeyed.

"This is my niece Hoseok", she smiled at me,"Hoseok, this is Taely",

He was flashing a smile on his face as he saw me, he seemed to be cute,

"Nice to meet you Taely", he rotated his head still smiling,as he extended his hand,

"Nice to meet you too Hoseok",

"Let's go with Hobi?",

"Okay, HOBI", I made a weird voice when I said his name which caused him to giggle,

"I think we'll be good friends ", he extended his hand and I politely accepted it with a small nod and a smile,
