Work in Ashford
Blood In RosesI wake up to the sound of a knock. I must have fallen asleep.
"Are you feeling better, Kyuhyun?"
"Siwon?" Remembering that he is now cooperating with me, I open the door.
Siwon looks unhappy as ever "So?"
"I'm fine now, thank you for those snacks."
"Fine then. Now it's time to get to work."
"Work?" I didn't expect to hear that.
"This place sure is a hotel, but I'm assuming you don't have any money to pay for the room. So, here is a plan. You can earn your keep through labor. You'll work under me, starting today."
I sigh "If I won't work, I won't get to eat huh?" I follow Siwon out of the room.

The lobby was just empty when I first came here but now is crowded with guests beautifully dressed. "This really is a hotel. I didn't even notice there were these many people in here."
"Your job is to take care of the guests. Just do as I say."
"Okay, fine."
At that moment, Donghae and Sungmin come walking towards us.
"Why did you let him out of the dungeon, Siwon?!" Donghae sounded really angry.
"Because it'd be troublesome if he ended up dying in there."
Sungmin raised his brows "Without getting any consent from us?"
"I'm the one who has authority over this hotel's personnel." Siwon replies nonchalantly.
"Are you going to make him work here?" Donghae stares at me which make me uncomfortable.
"Doesn't that benefit the two of you as well?"
Sungmin sighs "True... It doesn't seem like Kyuhyun will obediently follow our orders." He looks back and forth between me and Siwon "But we are the owners of the castle. You wouldn't want to take us too lightly, would you?"
"Lee Sooman is still the owner of the castle."
When Siwon corrects, Sungmin frowns without disguise and Donghae clicks his tongue, annoyed. Sooman..? Heebum and Siwon were talking about him too... It seems that there's some kind of feud going on between them and this hotel is at the center of it.
That moment, a girl comes dashing towards Donghae. "Donghaeeeeeeeee!" The girl throws her arms around Donghae, looking up at him with sweet eyes. "It's time for out tea date. You promised that you'd play cards with me! You forgot about it, didn't you?"
"How could I forget, Lady Sunny?"
"L-Lady?!" I was surprised. She looks like a little girl but she turns out to be a lady!
"Hm? Who are you?" Sunny looks at me suspiciously.
"I'm Kyuhyun, the new hotel staff. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"It's nothing you should worry about, lady Sunny. Shall we get going?" Donghae escorts Sunny out of the room with a smile I'd never seen before.
"You are actually planning to work here? Well, good luck, I suppose." Sungmin takes his leave.
Before I can even breathe a sigh of relief, Siwon orders me around him in a harsh tone. "Our guests arrive shortly. Take their luggage and them to their room. Make haste."
"Okay."

I a couple of guests to their room. On my way back, I find Donghae waiting for me in the hallway.
"Are you finished
