"Nana-ssi" Kazuha was interrupted cleaning the kitchen when she heard someone call for her. Nana, a short name derived from her surname. She turn around and saw Xiaoting smiling at her, for the first time.

"Oh, Miss Shen"

"Have we met before?" Xiaoting asked her right away. Kazuha could not respond because one rule from the maids is to keep their real identities not get leaked. Mrs. Song was the one who put this into the rule book because she wants her family's safety. If a maid leaked their identity as a worker of Song-Yang village, some spy might use them to get into the family business.

"Uhh..." Xiaoting raised one of her brows and then sat on one of the seats at the kitchen table. Kazuha gulped. 'This is surely going to be a long conversation...' she told herself.

"Bao, what are you doing there?" Right on time, Y/n arrived with a small bag in her hand. Kazuha met eyes with her and what Kazuha felt was the same as when she first saw Y/n.

"Oh, hey" Y/n gave her a smile that made her melt eventually. Xiaoting noticed the look into Kazuha's eyes and then tried to break it. "Baby~"

"Baby?" Y/n was shocked at Xiaoting calling her "baby" It was unusual because Xiaoting calls her "baobao" All the time. Xiaoting motioned for her to come on her side and then grabbed both of Y/n's hands, wrapping them around her shoulders.

"This is Y/n, she's my fiancée" Xiaoting introduced... more like, showing off. She also lifted one of her hands to show Kazuha her ring. "We've been engaged for 3 years already" She added. Kazuha just stood there, faking a smile as she nod her head.

"Is she familiar to you too? You met her too before, right?"

"Xiaoting, stop scaring her" Y/n tried to control the situation because as she observe Xiaoting's voice, it is like she was jealous. "Come on, let's go home" Y/n tried to unwrap her arms around Xiaoting's shoulders but she forgot, that Xiaoting is stronger than her. "No... I want to talk to Kazuha more... sit here, babe" She pointed to her lap but Y/n shook her head. "Let's go home, get some rest and I'm taking you somewhere tomorrow" Y/n also tried to convince her but...

"Oh my, you're so sweet. I'm so glad I have a sweet fiancée" a forced laugh escaped Y/n's lips and then went closer to Xiaoting's ears. "That's enough, let's go home now" Kazuha was still looking at the two but it's impossible that she heard that.

"What? You're taking me on a date tomorrow? " Y/n mentally facepalm. Is making Kazuha jealous necessary for Xiaoting?

"Yes, yes... let's go now" She tried pulling Xiaoting away from the kitchen room but failed instantly. "What is it again?" She whispered. "Tell me you love me" Xiaoting whispered back. Kazuha was wiping the tables in front of them, minding her own business now.

"I love you" Y/n whispered but Xiaoting pinched her. "Louder"

"I love you too, baobei. Let's go home and get some rest now" Y/n loudened her voice but it sounded so forced. Kazuha was hiding her smile at how cute Y/n was being an obedient girlfriend. She knows they are dating but having a crush on Y/n won't ruin things, right? She knows Y/n will never like her back anyway.

"Awe~ carry me" Y/n then forced a smile. "I know you know I can't carry you, right?" She whispered. "Try this time!" Xiaoting rotated her seat and then hugged the girl in front of her. "You got muscles now, I know you can carry me now"

Y/n sighed as she kneeled on the floor, waiting for Xiaoting to get on her back. As soon as Xiaoting got there, Y/n held her breath and then stood up slowly. "Am I that heavy, bao? Why is it so hard for you to carry me" Xiaoting pouted.

"You're not heavy... I'm just... weak" Y/n took small steps so they could at least get out of Kazuha's sight. This is too embarrassing.

"Come on, get us into the van" Y/n pants as she walks out of the door outside. Some maids were eyeing them and some were giggling because Y/n slightly turned red now. It is because of embarrassment and lack of oxygen.

"2 meters more~" Xiaoting calculated as she pecked Y/n's shoulders sweetly. "1 meter more" She felt Y/n's hand gripped on her thighs, sensing she was doing all her might to carry her girlfriend for the last meter. "There we go" Y/n let go of Xiaoting finally then heavily panted on the door, resting her hands on the seat. "I'm sorry. Come here" Xiaoting pulled her inside beside her and Mr. Kim got in as well.

"Going home?" He asked.

"Can you drive around the city, Mr. Kim? Just drive around" Xiaoting suggested while pulling Y/n's head into her shoulders to rest. She suddenly felt guilty for what she did. She felt Y/n's temperature increased and was afraid Y/n might get a fever and miss promotion after that.

"Sure, ma'am" Mr. Kim started the van and then drove away from the house. Unexpectedly, Y/n fell asleep immediately once she laid her head on her lover's shoulders. She was very tired from schedules, practice, and carrying Xiaoting around. But it was all worth it for her. As long as Xiaoting's happy, she's happy.

"I'm sorry" Her eyes slowly opened once she heard Xiaoting apologize again. "It's okay, love. It was fun. I will exercise more so I can carry you longer " she chuckled.

The night was too short for them and as the morning already arrived, they are back to exploring the country again. This time, Y/n planned on taking her to where she went to release stress. In Gangwon-do.

Y/n's POV

My body's still aching but I will never miss this chance to go take Xiaoting out of the city. She's never familiar with the place here just like me but at least, I went to more places than her.

"Where are we going?"

"Nami Island"

I've never gone to this place yet but I heard about it already from Mrs. Bong. She said it's a place where I could take Xiaoting to relax and have a nature walk. I never went on a nature trip... maybe... I don't know, I don't remember. I am locked up at home for the majority of my life.

"Omo, this is the place where that drama took place!" Xiaoting stopped in her tracks in the middle of the autumn trees. The surrounding was so orange. Perfectly defined her autumn clothes. I opened up the old camera I use and snapped a photo of her. She heard the camera click and then ran back to me. "Can I see?" She asked for the photo. I opened it for her so she could check. "Nice, you kept that best school photographer image of yours, huh" She bumped my shoulders. "Thanks, love" I felt her peck my cheeks then went to the middle of the trees once again. "Will you be my photographer for today?!" She jokingly asked.

"I can be your photographer forever" I shouted back at her since she was standing 5 meters away. "What's for my payment?" I asked. Although I know she's going to say 'a kiss', I still wanted to ask her what.

From afar, she smiled and then turned around. She picked up something from the ground and then went up to me. "Here" It was a perfectly shaped maple leaf. "Keep that" She gave it to me then ran back again to her place.

What will I do with this?

"Hey! Hey! Camerawoman! " she clapped her hands to get my attention. "Yeah, yeah..." I smilingly shook my head and then pointed the camera at her. The scene looks perfectly defined. There were no people around yet so we could use this place as our own.

After taking photos of her, we took a short break from one of the benches and then ate the breakfast we prepared earlier. Kazuha also came to help us cook. Xiaoting was placed between us like a border. "Kazuha's cook-"

"I can cook better" I bit my lip to stop myself from talking. Here she goes again. "Ting, you don't have to be jealous"

"I have the rights to be... You're my girlfriend... my fiancée actually"

"'Ex' fiancée, miss" I corrected her, but she seriously bought the joke. "We're still engaged in our parents' eyes, that counts" I just nodded my head and gave up, I don't want to argue anymore.

"Okay, but baobei, you don't have to be jealous" I placed my chin on her shoulders which tickled her a little. "Why? You know what, my dad told me a story... You're just like your father" Huh? Me? I get that I look more like my father but I'm not that attractive.

"You're attractive to most Japanese women. They're lining up for you including Kazuha" Haha- where did she get that information.

"I'm just... well-, famous in Japan but that doesn't conclude they like me romantically, Ting"

"They do, I can feel it. But I guess it's fine unless they're 10 feet away from you. Kazuha is different of course, she's around you all the time" is Kazuha the new Doah now?

"Look, first Doah then now Kazuha... stop overthinking, bao. I thought you understood already"

"Understood what?"

"That you're the only one I love. How many times do I have to tell you this?" I chuckled as I saw her serious face cracked with a shy smile.

"Remind me every day" Her hair fell in front of her face, hiding it from me. "I always tell you I love you though, but okay... I'll remind you every day"

"How are they?"

"They're doing fine, don't worry too much about them. The kids are having fun" the lady shook the chair that she is sitting at, trying hard to escape the ropes on her hand.

"Let me go"

"No, until I get my own happiness, I will let you go..."

"What is it?"

"Ruin the Song family's life? Just like how they ruined mine"
