Bending Rules

His eyes watched Ji Sung led her to his house vicinity, his eyes flickered with a sense of jealously. He desired to know her but it seemed someone beat him to it but this did not sway his heart..

- 7:10pm-

"You can sleep in the space here so if someone comes they won't see you and if they ask I'll just say you were doing a chore and passed out all of a sudden!" He says devising a plan.

"Won't they know better than that?"

"If it's my eunuch no, Father never goes to our homes." He says in relief.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask.
He nods.
"When I'm sleeping .. please do not look at my face." I say with pleading eyes.

"Oh? I- I won't sorry about earlier.." He says apologizing again.

"Alright! Well I'll be sleeping then! Goodnight!" I bow and slid the door to the room leaving it slightly cracked for air.

I hear footsteps as he lays down to sleep and the room fell silent only the sounds of crickets outside.

I felt safer being here rather than in a dust shed with no light or locks. I was thankful I was spared really..
I lay down and remove my face mask folding it beside my pillow.
I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.

- 5am-

The sun would rise soon which signaled the kings awaking. Ji sung awoke seeing this and was alerted to wake Lena up to tell her to return.

He slowly got up and walked over.
He placed his hand on the sliding door peeking but jerked away remembering what she asked. For him not to look at her face.

Instead, he slightly knocked and called out to her.

His voice rung inside her ears waking her up, she rubbed her eyes and tied her face mask back.
"Thank you, ill return now." She bowed and walked out the door.

Ji sung rubbed his eyes tiredly and returned to sleep, but before he dozed off he was thinking of what her face was like.

I returned to the humble storage I was destined to. The sun would rise soon meaning my work started, I was to report to the king chamber first to be assigned the first prince chores of the day. Each day I spent doing a different princes chores.
I hope it would be Ji sung or someone nice.

I dreaded the day I would spend with the jerk..seriously that guy! I calmed my anger down and walked to the kings chamber as the sun rose.

"I'm here for my duty assignment." I explained to the guard.
"Your highness the servant is here." The guard spoke out followed my the kings "send her in."

"Ah, you're here early I'm surprised , well your first day is to deliver food to all my sons for their breakfast, you have a hour, head to the kitchen to pick the trays up report back after." He sends me away.

To all?! How many?! A hour?!
I scoff after leaving and go to the kitchen.

"You're here to deliver the food? Okay! Well take this to Prince Minho." The predations lady explains.
The jerk? Ah great will he judge my way of placing a tray?
I sigh and behind walking, the sun really was rising now so they should be awake.

"I'm here to serve the food." I explained to the old eunuch i saw before.
"Your majesty your food is here ~" He called before motioning me inside.
