Save me. [ Completed✔ ]

Pt.5

           Tired eyelids fluttered open. Big Bambi like eyes stared at the shoji doors across the hall.

'She kissed me.' Chaeyoung thought. She slowly arose from her slumber and sat quietly on her bed. She traced her lips slowly, tenderly as if not wanting to wash the kiss off left behind on her lips. She had not been summoned all night by the Lady of the house. She wondered if the kiss had caused Miss. Myoui to keep behind closed doors. And by herself. Chaeyoung couldn't blame her. If she had made an irrational move like that with another woman, she would have kept to herself as well.

*ring*

Chaeyoung jumped as the sound of a bell chimed over her bed.

*ring*

There it went again. Chaeyoung gulped in utter nervousness. She slowly arose from her bed and walked slowly to the lady's bedroom door. Sliding it open slowly, she was hesitant to move across the door. She stood quietly between the door, shivering at the sudden wave of chill air hit her body.

"Tora." Mina whispered. Chaeyoung snapped out of her daze and looked towards the older girl. Mina stood at her window clutching her Japanese doll. "I saw her." Mina whispered. Chaeyoung's feet quickly led her to the Japanese girls side. Mina sighed and traced the dolls cold hands. "Today is the day isn't it?" Mina asked. Chaeyoung furrowed her eyebrows.

"The day Miss?" Chaeyoung asked. Mina turned to face Chaeyoung. She grew even more silent as she studied the young girls face. She could see the circles under Chaeyoung's big brown eyes. She could see her cheeks were rosy as if still in embarrassment. The way Chaeyoung was losing interest due to the lack of sleep. Mina cleared her throat.

"The day we meet the Count. Count Yamada." Chaeyoung nodded sheepishly. "You seem to be tired. Had you no rest last night?" Mina asked and inched forward towards Chaeyoung. Chaeyoung widened her eyes by the sudden choice in movement by Mina and fell backwards. Mina furrowed her eyebrows as Chaeyoung rubbed her eyes and looked up at her embarrassed.

"I...n-no Miss. Nightmare is all." Chaeyoung stuttered. Mina held out her hand to help the young girl up. Chaeyoung was hesitant.

'A kiss. And now this? What's next?' Chaeyoung thought. "I suggest you take my hand or else I'll leave you there." Mina said. Chaeyoung quickly took hold of Mina's hand and scrambled to her feet. She brushed off her shorts and tank top making Mina bite her lip. She hadn't caught sight on how fit Chaeyoung was before. The Japanese girl shook her head of those thoughts and cleared her throat.

"I'll give you a few hours to rest then to return to my room all ready and dressed. I would think since the Count arrived late last night he'd still be asleep. Well, I'll need to be at my reading at twelve. And you'll have time to attend to the chores given to you by Madame Sazuki while I'm away. But that won't be for another six hours so off to bed. I'll see you though for my dressing at eight so I can get my breakfast. Understand?" Mina asked, eyeing the sleepy girl. Chaeyoung nodded and yawned.

"Miss. Nakamura?" Mina asked. Chaeyoung blinked a few times and looked at the older girl. "Tell me. Who's face do you see in bed?" Mina hugged her doll and anticipated an answer from the young girl. Chaeyoung blushed madly.

"P-pardon?" Chaeyoung stuttered. Mina inched closer. Chaeyoung took a step back. It was amusing to Mina in a sense that she could make the young girl so nervous. She had never done that before with anyone else. She moved forward again causing Chaeyoung to hit the desk behind her. Mina stared into the young girls big brown eyes.

"My l-lady." Chaeyoung squeaked. Mina inched her face forward. Her steady breathing had caused Chaeyoung to grow more nervous, her heartbeat had seemed to echo in the room. "Who's face...do you see...in bed?" Mina husked. Chaeyoung clutched the edge of the desk. The closeness of her master had made Chaeyoung freeze like a deer in the headlights. Mina's eyes had cast a dark shadow. Chaeyoung could feel it, the dominant presence. She could feel Mina's eyes burn through her soul as if to look for the answer. Chaeyoung's heart thumped against her chest. It felt reckless.

"Y-yours." Chaeyoung breathed out and closed her eyes tightly.  Mina was but an inch away, her steady breaths hitting the young girls nose. Mina stared at Chaeyoung's quivering lips. "Mine?" Mina husked. Chaeyoung nodded slowly. The older girl took her finger and traced Chaeyoung's lips. She felt them shake under her touch. She was pleased.

"Good. Now run along." Mina said and stood tall. Chaeyoung opened her eyes and gulped. She did as told and ran back to her room. Mina sighed and picked up the letter on her desk. She read through it quickly then clutched it close to her racing heart. 'This is what is keeping me from taking a hold on her.' Mina thought and put down the letter.

'Must I continue my sins in order to avoid my pursuit for her? Is this game worth the path for freedom? Surely I should not have to harm her.' Mina thought and looked towards Chaeyoung's bedroom.

'What lies we tell. What secrets we hide. It is all but mortal sin.' Mina thought and retreated to her bed.

--------------------------------

*A few hours later*

Chaeyoung slowly fluttered her eyes open and stared at the ceiling above her, a bit of sunlight creeping into her room. She wanted to just lay there, thinking about all that had occurred when it hit her. She sat up quickly.

"Shit. I have to tell Jihyo about all of this. She'll think this chick is crazy." Chaeyoung said out loud and dialed her friend.

Jihyo: "Hello?" A sleeping Park Jihyo asked.

Chaeyoung: "Unnie! Unnie you won't believe what's all happened since I got here!" Chaeyoung whisper shouted.

Mina's ears perked up to the sound of the young girl's voice. She slid out of her bed and slowly made her way over to the door. Bending forward, she opened a peep hole and peered over into Chaeyoung's room.

Chaeyoung: "Fucking hell." Chaeyoung breathed out and felt her forehead.

"Fucking hell?" Mina whispered.

Chaeyoung: "She kissed me unnie! She took me to some shop with these two women! And I'm not saying that their profession is sickening since, don't get me wrong, they were two attractive Japanese women and yet they were kissing and whipping each other!"

Chaeyoung grew louder. Mina smirked to herself. Oh how did this young Korean girl amuse her indeed.

*thud*

Chaeyoung jumped and hung up the call, looking in Mina's direction. Mina closed the peep hole and quickly made her way to her bed, stripping off her clothes. As she crawled underneath her covers she cleared her throat. "Tora." She called out. Chaeyoung cleared her throat and sighed. "Coming." She called out.
