The Butler ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2

*Yesung POV*

A week ago…

Spring wind blew slowly, strokes my nape of neck. The sun shine warmly, made leaves which began to green seem striking. Drops and puddle of water from snow was could be seen everywhere. Students who wore yellow hat and boot shoes seen happy and footstep at that puddle, spray their friends. One of them, who was a little girl, was so angry with her friend and chased little boy who did that. The boy just laughed and avoid the girl. I hold back my laugh when saw those children. It could be seen clearly that the boy was like the girl.

I sighed when those children were gone and remembered my problem. I just came back from Butler Association. My request to stop became butler was fulfilled by them, even though I couldn’t tell them my reason to stop being butler.

I couldn’t find my boss. The boss who could made me want to protect him or her and served him. That’s my reason. But, I couldn’t say it in front of the older from Butler Association.

My mind was everywhere when someone slapped my shoulder. It’s Shindong, my friend whom also a butler. We agreed to went lunch in one of cafes in Apgujeong-dong street.
When waited for our order, Shindong said,”Yesung, why you stop being butler? Is there any special reason?”

I sighed. Even though he was my close friend, it’s difficult to say my reason directly.

“Please, tell me. Maybe I can help you,” Shindong said again.

“Well, actually…,” finally I told my reason. After I finished, Shindong’s face became muddy. Of course he understood what I felt. For a butler, we could only serves to our choice person, not anyone. It needed strong bond between the boss and the butler. Shindong was luckier than me. This time he serves a good boss. He really happy to serve that person.

“Yah, I know what your problem is,” said Shindong, slapped my shoulder again.
“I was really frustrated. Until now, I could’t find him. Oh my God,” I hold my head, frustrated. Shindong looked sad to saw me in that condition.

At that time, my eyes catch something. A woman who sit near out table. She wasn’t alone. There was a man with her. They looked very serious. And then, the man stood and left the woman. That woman cried in silence, maybe she afraid others saw her.
That woman was seen pitiful. Her shoulder was shaking. Her face bowed and I could saw her tears drop one by one to the table.

My butler instinct was awaken. I found her. The person whom I want to serves till the end.

“Shindong, please go with me to Butler Association,” I said. Shindong who ate his food, choked.

“What?” he said with mouthful mie.

“It’s time to get my badge back.”
