"New morning, new job to do."

Jihyo complained as we clean the Queen's room. Tomorrow might be the King and Queen's honeymoon. We put some rose's petals on the bed that formed a heart, we put candles, and everything that they will need. It looks very beautiful and I can see the hotel rooms every valentine's day in this room.

"I wonder how their honeymoon will be," Sana even gestured of how she thinks.

Mina and I didn't talk and we just both continued on the cleaning the room. The Queen will stay on the other room this night. And so today, I will going to take care of her and even clean her. It's my job even though it hurts me because I am preparing her for the woman I love.

"It would be romantic of course," Jihyo chuckled. "Hey Mina, you sure you already moved on?" Jihyo asked. How insensitive of her.

"O-Of course," she even shuttered. I look at Mina who just continued wiping all the vases using a cloth.

"You'll get over the King soon Mina," Tzuyu advice.

After cleaning the room, I left them already so I can prepare the Queen's bath. But, I didn't expect that the King was already outside. She turned around when she heard my footsteps. We both looked at each other first before I quickly looked and walked away.

"Mandu," She grabbed my hand. I turned around looking at her emotionless.

"What?" I asked her.

"I'll explain what I'm planning and what I know." She looks sad based on her eyes, but I don't care anymore. I pulled my hand back.

"For what?" I asked her. "Things will never change your highness. I am just a servant and you're a King, let us stay that way, can we?" I asked her, she didn't answered me and just looked at me in the eyes.

"Your highness!" We both looked at our right side and saw Chin Hwa approaching us with a smile on his face. I bowed my head at him when he arrived. "I believed you check your room for tonight huh," he chuckled.

"Y-Yes." The King lied

"Well, what can you say? How many rounds?" He laughed. The King didn't answer and just look at me.

I smiled painfully, I don't want to hear this. "I-I'm going your highness." I said before bowing my head.

"Suit yourself," Chin Hwa said before I walked away. I wiped my tears as I go to the Queen's bath. While preparing a warm water for her, I breathe heavily. That old man is really pissing me off. He couldn't stop himself from mentioning their honeymoon while I was there.

An hour later, the Queen arrived. She looks at me and smiled. I just did the same. I shouldn't be rude towards her because I am her maid. I should serve her whatever happens. She removed her hanbok and carefully lays down on the wooden bathtub.

I scrub her back, her arms and her legs afterwards. She is just staring at me while doing it. Then I massaged her. It's not my first doing this to her that's why I'm used to it already.

"Are you mad at me?" She asked

I looked up to her while massaging her feet, "No your highness." I smiled as I assured her.

"I want to explain—"

"It's alright your highness. You don't have to explain everything." I stopped her. I don't want to get involved anymore from what they're planning.
