Tok tok tok

I heard some knocks at the door, but I don’t care. Whoever in front of the door is, when I’m not answer, someone started calling my name.

“Mi Seon, Mi Seon, came out please!”

That’s Uncle Jin’s voice. I keep quiet, pretend not hearing his call. Finally, Uncle Jin opened the door and go inside my room. I turned my head towards the window, refused to see him.

“Mi Seon…,” Uncle calls me, sigh. I don’t care. My heart becomes sick when I see his face. The face which caring me so much since I was young. I don’t have parent since I was six, so his love means a lot for me. But, his love made my lover, Kyuhyun, left me because he can’t endure uncle’s protective and pig-headed to me.

I, who love Kyuhyun so much, cried loudly when he left me. Since that time, I faced my uncle coldly. This time, uncle say again ,”Mi Seon, he is your new butler. Become friendly with him.” I keep quiet and don’t care. For a moment this butler will left me because of my cruel attitude.

I heard the door is closed. It looks like uncle was gone. I turned my head and see that new butler. When uncle left, he stands in front of me and bent over his body, introduce himself ,”Mi Seon-ssi, my name is Yesung, your new butler. Is there anything you need?”

I see him nauseated. “Go, I don’t need a butler!” I yelled at him. I come up from the chair and walks to the bed, sink myself in the blanket.

Two hours later, I get up from my very sound asleep. It feels great. I stretching and rub my eyes. Suddenly, from my right side there is voice,”Mi Seon-ssi, I had been prepared warm water for you.”

I surprised and turned around. That new butler , Yesung, stand in front of my dressing table, hold a washbasin of water. A clean towel is in his left hand. He is smile when sees me. Is he stands at that place along my nap?

“Are you stand in there since I taking nap?” I ask him, hesitate. Yesung smiling, nod his head.

“I stand guard, if Noona wake up and need something,” he replied. I glare at him. Okay, let’s see how far you can endure me.

I take the washbasin at his hand, then throw it until all the water spilled and spray around. After that, I left the room.

It’s dinner time. I sit in the table, on the most far distance from uncle. Both of us sit at the end of dining table. All chairs in left-right table is empty. I see antique clock which shape large sprawling house. This gift from Indonesia shows its 7 o’clock. That new butler should stands besides me since fifteen minutes ago for prepared dinner, but until now he is still missing. I smiled. I am sure he dejected for my actions and had quit himself from the job. But suddenly, in a minute door to kitchen is open and Yesung come out brings food trolley. His face still smile, like nothing happened.

He comes to the table and put today dinner menu in front of uncle. Then, he comes to me and put the same menu in front of me. I look at him, there is no signal of angry in his face. After put the menu, he stands besides me with perfect attitude for butler. His body upright and proudly.

Along the dinner, Yesung’s attitude is so perfect. He slices my meat, pouring the water, open my napkin. He isn’t let me do something else except mouthful the food to my mouth. And, he always smile through the dinner. Well, it seem that will be difficult to chase away this butler.
