After cooking for them, I decided to go outside to my usual thinking spot by the fountain since there was nothing to be done inside. I was surprised to see Myungsoo there. He looked back when he heard my footsteps. I waved and smiled at him, earning myself a serious look sending my heart shivers. Whether it was content or whether it was happiness. I didn’t know but I didn’t want to welcome it.

“What are you doing here?” He asked boldly.

I guess he wanted to be alone… I sighed and quickly turned to the other side since I didn’t want to be a bother to him.

“Wait!” He quickly called as I stopped, “Don’t go…”

Even if it was just a simple phrase and meaningless, why did I also feel this way? Maybe I’m just confused.

I turned back to look at him but my face was facing down, “I thought you wanted me to leave…”

“I never said I did… I was just wondering why you’re out here, it’s kind of chilly tonight…” He muttered.

I smiled stupidly and walked over next to him, “Why aren’t you eating with the others?”

“Hmph, I don’t really want to be inside right now with everyone pretending to be ok just to make you feel better.” He stated which the last part confused me for a slight moment.

“Make me feel better…?” I questioned.

He just gave a mysterious smile, “You wouldn’t understand. It’s best if you don’t know.”

I sighed and shook my head kind of expecting this kind of answer coming from him, “You always like to seem mysterious and cool, don’t you?”

He grinned, “Me, cool? Thank you.”

I laughed lightly for a second he sounded like something Woohyun would say, “You sound just like Woohyun…” I observed him.

“Woohyun? Seems like he got to you too.” He nodded to himself confusing me even more, “I’m nothing like him.”

“Maybe you’re more like Sunggyu…” I guessed, “You both try hard to hide your feelings from others.”

“Why are you comparing me to my brothers?” He replied sounding coldly, “I don’t like being compared. I’m not like Sunggyu who if you just say a few words to, he’ll crack his feelings.”

I sighed, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to make it seem like that. I just thought maybe I’m trying to figure you out. You seem to be different… in a good way.”

“Well don’t.” He muttered and looked at me, “Don’t waste your efforts on someone like me... I don't have time to play chase with you...”

Ouch. I felt a bullet hit through my chest as if he was telling me the hurtful words he said at the hotel before. But this time, it pained me more. I stayed silent and realized why would he want to waste his time on someone like me? I’m just his maid, he’ll never feel anything for me. So Haruhi, please don’t waste any more time trying…

I don’t know whether this was just a mood swing that happened because of earlier, but even if it was, I hope he wouldn’t have acted like this…

“I’m sorry,” I apologized, “I’ll just go inside…”

“No.” He said with a blank face, “I’ll go instead.”

I tried to control my tears which wanted to es
