＜Episode 5＞ Maid’s Duty
“Today is delicious.”
“right?”
Si-eun asked, savoring the food with a happy face.
This time, facial expression is not controlled. How much do you like delicious food?
Well, I also like delicious things. He brought the spoon to his mouth again.
Dinner was curry.
It is a menu that I have made and ate by myself from time to time. For some reason, when you overflow with energy and want to waste it somewhere. The plane that decided to turn makes and eats with the feeling of throwing away oil. Yes, it’s a three-minute curry.
But today, I am eating a curry filled with various vegetables, meat and sausages. There could be no taste.
Si-eun, who had completely emptied the bowl, got up from her seat.
“I’m a little late today, so I’m going to do the laundry tomorrow. it’s okay?”
“It’s fine. I don’t have much laundry in the first place. I do the laundry too.”
“okay? After all, you don’t always wear the same clothes every day.”
It’s a very disappointing look. It seemed that prejudice against me was deeply ingrained.
I also often do laundry. Socks, T-shirts, and hand wash only, though they are all machine washed at once.
“Then shall we clean tomorrow?”
“I just moved in, so cleaning is not urgent. Oh, and if there are any visibly dirty spots, please clean them.”
“Isn’t it a big deal if you just moved in and there is a visibly dirty place?”
“It is not.”
responded indifferently. Then Si-eun put the bowl on the sink and turned her back to look at me. eyes are hot
“why?”
“No, that’s it.”
Si-eun seemed to be thinking about something as she combed her hair with her hands.
“Housekeeper… … What are you doing in the first place?”
It raised a fundamental question.
“Aren’t meal preparation, cleaning, and laundry?”
“But you said you don’t need cleaning or laundry right now? So I don’t have much work to do?”
“Well.”
I heard it and it was.
Usually, a house that hires a housekeeper will have a few members. If you live alone, like me, you only have chores that can be solved by yourself.
If you entrust someone with that level of work, it is natural that the job will drop quickly. You don’t even have to work while staying at home.
“Okay, well.”
Chew the octopus-shaped sausage and answer.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to get paid without working?”
“no. It’s not right for me to suck honey like that.”
“okay?”
“I like to get paid for what I work for. Because that’s how I feel at ease. Those who do not work, do not eat. There is such a thing.”
I’ve been eating just fine… … .
Si-eun let out a sound like she was thinking about it for a while, but then she put her hands together and opened her mouth.
“Oh, would you like to talk to me? I’m good at chatting about useless topics.”
“it’s okay. You don’t know, but people like me consume a lot of mental energy every time I talk to someone else.”
“Then why don’t we go for a walk together?”
“I hired you because I didn’t want to go out, so I can’t go out.”
“How about studying for your major? I’m taking notes of all the lectures, so it will be very helpful, right?”
“Unfortunately, I have good grades. I do not need.”
“what. What do you mean if you say you don’t like it all?”
No, I hate everything, but what do you say when you see me?
But I want to buy it as high as the passion. I’m going to live high, so I want you to just rest in your room when you’re not working.
Putting down the spoon, I take out the words that come to mind.
“Um, isn’t being a maid like that in the first place? When I’m not working, I wait at home and wait for my employer to get me to work.”
Unexpectedly, however, Si-eun’s face had a look of wonder.
“Maid?”
“ah.”
it was a mistake A friend of mine argued that a housekeeper and a maid were the same thing, and in my mind, it became a kind of synonym.
“Oh, no. I was wrong.”
I added that, but Si-eun grinned as if she had caught my weakness.
“Do you think you like to play that way?”
“Because I said it wrong.”
“Do you want me to just wear maid clothes? So you hired me?”
“no… … .”
He doesn’t seem willing to listen to excuses.
Soon, Si-eun started looking at me with a smile on her face.
I don’t know because I don’t usually talk well, is this kind of personality? Or are the insiders just joking around and joking around like this?
“Anyway.”
He got up with a bowl and said.
“Usually, it’s okay to just cook. Then do some dishes. From now on, I won’t care whether I stay in my room or go out, so take care of it.”
“If you are okay with it. Well, I see.”
With that answer, Si-eun raised the corner of her lips once more.
“It is the maid’s duty to obey the master’s commands.”
“Ugh.”
How long are you going to make fun of my mistakes?
For a moment, there was a boiling feeling in my chest.
I’m not angry. He is well aware that Si-eun has no malice.
To put it bluntly, I just wanted to feed him a goltang. As you keep playing pranks on me, the thought of wanting to feed me has grown.
then.
I decided to present an idea that ran through my mind.
“Oh, right. It is the maid’s duty to obey the master’s commands.”
“yes?”
When she returned what she had just said, Si-eun tilted her head and let out an inexplicable sound.
Continue the story regardless.
“So, I’ll give you orders from now on.”
“Command?”
Si-eun mutters with a tone that she does not understand English.
At Si-eun like that, I smiled triumphantly and spit out a word.
“From next week, I will always wear maid clothes at home.”
“… … What?”
Si-eun, who had her big eyes twitching as if she didn’t understand the meaning, soon turned into a look of astonishment.
It’s like he didn’t really know he was going to do something like this. Of course, I didn’t know I was going to be able to do this.
As I put the bowl down on the sink, I spoke up.
“But I’ll let you change clothes when you sleep. It will be uncomfortable.”
“Come on, wait a minute.”
Si-eun opened her palm and intervened.
“You didn’t write that word in the job posting. Then can’t I just refuse?”
“There are many part-timers who have to wear a set uniform. You can accept this as a kind of uniform.”
“What is a uniform? … .”
Si-eun sighed as if she was at a loss for words. His eyes were a bit ferocious, but it didn’t seem like a proper rebuttal came to mind.
Si-eun, who used to make fun of me, is obedient to my words. It was a moment of some kind of catharsis.
After coughing to hold back the corners of his mouth trying to rise.
“I will order the maid clothes today. Please wear it from then on when you arrive.”
“transformation.”
“Why am I a pervert? I’ve been singing maid, maid songs since before. Didn’t you want to wear it? Are you rather a pervert?”
“transformation… … !”
Shoots bitter eyes It looked like a horn would sprout from his head.
He didn’t have the talent to get over that gaze. He quietly averted his eyes and added only one word.
“If you give your master that kind of look, it’s useless.”
“Ugh!”
In the end, Si-eun exploded. But what to do? Isn’t it the maid’s duty to obey the master’s instructions?
I evacuated to my room, leaving Si-eun behind the unspeakable voices.
It’s only from the first day that the hard road ahead will be clear… … .
