Maid or friend

My mother was hired almost right away. From what I heard the rules were amended to allow children to enter the main building shortly after my mother was hired. This was for when Minsoo wanted to play. It seemed as tho this rule was amended for my sake. As most of the regular maids were young females in their early 20s. Soojin rarely brought her daughter as her mother would babysit for her. Her daughter was the same age as me but her mother never brought her around me. I never understood why until years later.

Initially I was allowed to enter the main building once a month to play with Minsoo. His mother Seo-joon was not fond of a maid playing with her son but did it for her spoiled son. Moon Seo-joon was a fashion model before marrying Moon Hee-kyung. She walked for big fashions brands like Gucci, Saint laurent, Prada. It was said that when Moon Hee-kyung meet her he was so wowed with her beauty that he set a fake business meeting just to chat with her. She fell for his charmful ways and after 2 years of dating they wed. She was known to throw the most extravagant parties around her social circle.

Moon Seo-joon was a cold mother towards Minsoo and their was rumors she suffered postpartum depression. Even tho those rumors existed she had a strict schedule for Minsoo and if he wanted something she made sure he had it. She compromised with him in letting me come play once a month. Everytime id go over I was told by the head maid that I was to do whatever Minsoo wanted me to do. I was to remember that I was a maid and to treat it like a job.

The first time I enter the main building was during spring. The mansion was a modern industrial style home. There were more windows than what I could count. The beauty of it was the color scheme it seemed to be a simple gray and white theme. It felt so inviting but at the same it was quite empty. The house felt as though nobody lived in it. Minsoo’s father was rarely home as was his wife. They seemed to come home around 8pm every night.

I would mostly play games Minsoo wanted me to play. Hide and seek or video games. As I was told by the head maid I was not to let Minsoo lose. He was unpredictably spoiled and she did not want to clean his messes. I did as I was told for the first few months until he had the head maid retrieve me twice a month then three times a months. It got to a point where I was at the main building 4/5 out of the week. It got exhausting playing a puppet that I slowly started doing things my way.

I started winning and voicing my opinions. At first it was not easy. Minsoo was not someone you’d want as an enemy but he seemed to enjoy my presence enough that he would not get mad about losing.

“It’s okay I’ll win next time don’t think your better just because you won this round.” He spouted not looking my way. He was so into the video game that he wouldn’t spare a glance.

With time I realized he wasn’t as scary as I thought he was. He was definitely spoiled but he seemed to have empathy for me. It got to the point where the maids had to retrieve me whenever he was throwing a tantrum.

“Don’t think of yourself so highly just because I give you attention.”

“What?” I looked his way. It seemed random as I was working on my homework and he was playing video games.

“You know what I mean. Just be lucky that I treat you well. That’s why you should always stay by my side.” He peered back looking frustrated.

“Well I can’t leave my mom works here.” I joked back. I didn’t understand why he would say that since I had no plans to leave.

“Well good because I really like your presence here” he smirked back as he resumed playing his video games.
