"How are you sweetie? I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too Mom.."

Jake watches the lady's ruffling Sunghoon's hair just like this penguin had ruffled his hair, maybe Sunghoon got this side from his mother and surely, his cold attitude is form by his father. The man in her 40th age stared his son with an emotionless expression "Sunghoon, report!" He command the 19 years old boy

Jake look at his boss flinch at the cold voice, this is the first time for him to see Park Sunghoon gets scare of someone since this cold boy always seems to be confident and intimidating to everyone but now this bossy boy is literally trembling. Sunghoon gulb down and look at his father but avoiding the eyes

"Our Company finally signed the contract with Nishi Detecting Agency, including Park Designing Company...The three of us become the share holders and biggest group in private business. Like the planned.....the contract was made up just like the way you want it"

Sunghoon lower his voice at the last sentence, he doesn't want to do it but he needs to obey his so called Father who smirks at the report. The man walk forward and pat on his son's shoulder before leaving them "You didn't messed up this time huh? Good"

Sunghoon bite his lips as he watch his father walking towards his room. He also then left his mother and Jake on the living room without looking back while locking himself on his room afterwards. The Aussie boy feels abit nervous when Sunghoon's mother stared at him and probably this woman seems like she's examining Jake "So, you must be the boy that Jongseongie told me, the personal maid?"

"Y-Yeah, nice to meet you Mistress!"

"hmh, you don't need to be so formal around me, I'm not like my husband and son, you can freely talk to me... remember that okay?" Jake smiles widely when he gets the warm side of the Mistress in this household, at least The Mother is kind to him "And also, I hope you understand Sunghoon..... he'll warm up to you soo- wait a minute, how long have you been work here?"

"ah...like Two days? maybe today is the second day"

*gasp*

The woman look at the Aussie boy with wide eyes, Jake also gets a bit surprise at her reaction and he doesnt know what to say when she speaks "You're the longest personal maid worker for Sunghoon! How did you handle my son's behavior till today? Are you okay? What did he said to you? What kind of work? Are you really fine?!"

"I....uh hahah I'm really fine Mam! He's abit cranky and moody sometimes but he's really kind and caring. He told me to wake him up at every morning in 6 a.m. and he wants me to make him breakfast too. Also, he told me to stay beside him all the time because I'm his personal ma-"

"H-Hold on.....he whAt?" The woman put her hand over her mouth, still with wide eyes and almost looking like she's about to be faint soon. Jake worriedly look at her "Mistress, a-are you okay? did i said something wrong?"

"Oh no no no I'm fine.. I can't help but being a dramatic queen for a second Haha! Okay, young man..... I'm impressed!" She smiles at the Aussie boy and pat his head, Jake shocks at the action, he remembers the way Sunghoon pat his head "I'm sure you'll stay in here longer than you thought-"

What? WHAT?
BUT I DON'T WANT THAT-

"uh hehe! yeah i hope so-" Jake grins at the woman who also walk back to her room with a smirk plasters on her face. Jake sigh in relief and he can't help but to laugh at the way everyone seemed shocked whenever they heard about him and Sunghoon.

Even after the night started, Sunghoon hasn't came out from his room. Jake also knows that it is his responsibility to look after for his boss but since Sunghoon is so secretive towards him, it's hard for the Aussie boy to even say something to him. But today, Jake felt that Sunghoon started to open up with him, also the way he acted....Jake understand that Sunghoon is just protecting himself and something is disturbing him on the inside that no one feels

"I'll make him a dinner"

Jake walks to the kitchen and try to cook for Sunghoon, the other maids silently watch him and let him do whatever he wants without saying anything. Jake can feels that they are acting abit strage and tensed more than before, is it because of Sunghoon's parents? Since they aren't close enough to ask something like this, Jake choose to stay silent and wait to know what's going on in this mansion but deep down, he truly wants to know and being very curious about this Park family

"Master, you need to have some dinner, so can I come in? or...uh are you going to open this door and take it instead?" Jake ask from the outside, he's not really that nervous anymore but still, he gets nothing for an answer. Jake is confuse about if he should just also ignore him or open this door.....Okay let's open, I'll face anything rather than letting my boss starve tonight-

Jake thought the door must be locked on the inside but it isn't....the Aussie boy easily open the door but meet with the dark room by his eyes. it's hard to see what's on the inside in Sunghoon's room. Jake slowly walk towards the desk and put the tray as quiet as possible, he doesn't need to care about the door since it has already close automatically "Master? are you in there-"

Jake stop his track when he sees a figure lying on the bed, facing his back. To make sure, he do knows that he need to look if he's okay or not so, Jake approach the side of the bed and peek at Sunghoon. His boss does look likes he's asleep but Sunghoon is actually having a bad nightmare and even sweating with his eyes close, shaking so badly under his blanket...

"Y-You okay? Master?" Jake bend down to take a look closer, when he notice the sweats and pale skins, the Aussie boy immediately pulls out his handkerchief. Jake slowly brush off the sweats and softly pat Sunghoon's forehead...does he face a nightmare? should i wake him up or-

"I should inform the headmaid instead, she'll know about this more than me" Jake think it out loud and try to walks out from the room until a cold hand grab his wrist. Sunghoon is still shaking but his grib is tight and really strong as well. Jake gasp loudly when he lays flat beside his boss in just 3 seconds "M-Master wh-"

"Please.... please don't tell anyone-"

Sunghoon move closer to Jake with his eyes still close while grabbing the other's waist as tight as possible. Jake choose to act like a statue and just let the boy beside him do whatever he's doing, but one thing that make him more shocker than before is when he hears the small whimpers and sniffles from Sunghoon "P-Please....stay with me-"

Sunghoon might not said it out but he's truly scares about something. Jake become soften and slowly calm his stiffen body, he move closer to his boss and hug him. Sunghoon also loosen his gribs and instead hugging his maid's waist while hiding his face on Jake's fluffy brown hair

The two stay silent on the dark room without saying any more words to each other. Jake softly pat the younger's back and try to let him know that he truly stays with him. Meanwhile, Sunghoon slowly drifting into deep sleep without having a nightmare, and his heart knows that someone is with him and who truly cares about him...Jakey-

Without really knowing, Jake also falls asleep with the warm breathes on his head. The two felt nice and calm, happy and butterflies on their stomachs but only if they know...

Someone is watching them from the open door-
