“I think I’m going to be sick,” Jessica mumbled weakly. Yuri patted Jessica’s back harshly earning a glare from the nauseous princess.

“Man up. Tiffany’s taking it a lot better than you,” Yuri nodded her head towards Tiffany who was walking steadily ahead of them. Taeyeon turned around momentarily to Yuri and shook her head quickly. Yuri and Jessica caught sight of Taeyeon’s actions and wondered what the gesture had meant.

Taeyeon hummed to herself silently. Tiffany who was walking beside her was far from ordinary. Instead of feeling sick after the continuous rides, Tiffany had completely become mute. The Hwang heiress was able to stomach her food but it was obvious that her mentality was the price of too many rigorous rides. Taeyeon clicked her fingers in front of Tiffany in hopes of bringing her back but Tiffany continued to walk forward blankly. The butler then tried clapping in Tiffany’s ear and waving her hands furiously in front of her but nothing seemed to bring Tiffany back to the real world.

“Tiffany taking it a lot better than I am huh?” Jessica said as she elbowed Yuri in the stomach. Yuri flinched at the violent attack and ended up bumping into Taeyeon who then in turn bumped into Tiffany. All three girls then paused and watched Tiffany, hoping for a change. Tiffany seemed to stumble to the side for a few steps and paused. Everyone waited with high hopes, but their hopes were all crushed when Tiffany blankly walked forward again.

“I think the rollercoaster flipped her over too many times. Her brain’s been completely mushed,” Yuri hummed silently. Jessica and Taeyeon merely nodded in agreement. Seeing Tiffany walking absentmindedly towards a pole, Taeyeon quickly ran up to Taeyeon and diverted her path.

“Well we can’t send her back like this. I would feel sorry for Taeyeon. The sane Tiffany is enough to deal with, who knows what this Tiffany would do,” Jessica huffed.

“Might be an improvement,” Yuri shrugged. Jessica slapped Yuri’s arm in response.

“Look at her. It’s like she’s walking with her eyes closed. Look! I don’t think she even blinks,” Jessica pointed hurriedly towards Tiffany’s direction. Yuri and Jessica stared at Tiffany for a long moment, creating a staring contest. Their eyes started to water as they tried to keep with Tiffany but they had to eventually blink.

“Wow, you’re right. She really doesn’t blink,” Yuri rubbed her eyes sorely.

“Lady Tiffany? Miss Tiffany? M-Master?” Taeyeon stuttered with the last word in an attempt to snap Tiffany back to reality. Tiffany seemed to respond ever so slightly to Taeyeon’s last word but returned to her blank state again. Yuri and Jessica who were watching from afar caught site of Tiffany’s slight change.

“I think there might be a way,” Yuri whispered to Jessica. She then quickly turned around and made her way to one of the stores that sold stationary and other small trinkets. Jessica followed behind hesitantly, unsure of what Yuri was planning.

“Found it!” Yuri exclaimed when she pulled out a pair of dog ear headbands. Jessica blinked thrice as she stared at the object in Yuri’s hand. She then slapped Yuri harshly.

“Now’s not the time to be shopping! Right now Tiffany would walk straight into a train and not realise a thing!” Jessica scolded. Yuri lifted her index finger up to her lips and hushed Jessica. She then quickly paid for the headband, not bothering with the change, and rushed back to where Taeyeon and Tiffany were. When they returned, they noticed Taeyeon pulling Tiffany away from a crowd of people whilst apologizing with ninety-degree bows.

 “I’m sorry. She’s really tired. I’m sorry,” Taeyeon apologized repeatedly. When the people walked away from Tiffany and Taeyeon, she sighed with relief. She then placed Tiffany into the seat forcibly and sighed tiredly.

“There we go,” Yuri said proudly as she placed the headband on Taeyeon’s head. Taeyeon lifted her hand and took the dog ears off her head, examining it. She then turned to Jessica and Yuri behind her with questionable eyes.

“Just an experiment. I’m fifty-percent sure that it will work. No harm in trying,” Yuri explained. She then took the headband away from Taeyeon’s hands and placed them on top of her head again. Taeyeon furrowed her eyebrows in disagreement.

“I’m not doing this,” Taeyeon said bluntly. Before Taeyeon could reach up and take the headband off, Yuri knocked her knuckle against Taeyeon’s head and shook her head sternly.

“Oh yes you are. You said I had some authority over you. Since your current master is… out of order, I’ll be your acting master. Now keep the ears on and stand in front of Tiffany,” Yuri ordered in a stern tone. Jessica giggled silently behind Yuri when she saw Taeyeon’s dumbfounded expression.

Reluctantly, Taeyeon turned around and stood before the blank Tiffany. Yuri nodded with approval and placed both her arms on Taeyeon’s shoulders.

“Now crouch down.”

Taeyeon bit onto her tongue and followed Yuri’s instructions obediently. She could feel her pride slowly being stripped away from her as she crouched before Tiffany. Yuri smiled and patted Taeyeon’s head as if she were a real pet.

“Tiffany can never resist cute puppies,” Jessica commented from behind, finally understanding where the situation was going. Taeyeon abruptly stood up, understanding what they were doing to her but Yuri pushed her back down to now her knees.

“Can’t we get a real dog then?” Taeyeon questioned. Yuri and Jessica shook their head in unison.

“Relax. Surprisingly, you look cute,” Jessica beamed a smile.

“Surprisingly?” Taeyeon questioned. Yuri rolled her eyes at Taeyeon and patted her head like a pet again.

“Not everyone suits puppy ears. Now, focus at the problem at hand. The faster Tiffany snaps out of this, the faster you can take those ears off,” Yuri huffed.

“Let’s not snap Tiffany out of her trance then. He really does look cute in that,” Jessica suggested. Taeyeon lowered her head in shame and embarrassment. She caught sight of a few girls looking at her from afar. Her ears burned when she heard them giggling and whispering to each other whilst pointing at her.

“We can’t be that cruel. It hurts a man’s pride,” Yuri defended. Taeyeon mentally thanked Yuri for her kindness.

“Now all you have to do is say ‘Master Tiffany, Puppy-Yeon wants to be fed’ and she’ll snap right out of her trance,” Yuri concluded. Taeyeon immediately widened her eyes and stood up, taking the ears off her head and shaking her head furiously. Jessica starting going through a fit of laughter at the mere thought of having Taeyeon say that to Tiffany with the dog ears on whilst Yuri grinned triumphantly to herself.

“That is too embarrassing for anyone to do,” Taeyeon defended. Yuri shook her head once again and picked up the ears. She held it out before Taeyeon and looked at Taeyeon with expectant eyes.

“I’m you current acting master and I tell you to do it,” Yuri’s tone of authority was evident in her voice again. Taeyeon lowered her shoulders disappointedly. Hesitantly, Taeyeon took the ears from Yuri’s hand and slowly placed them on her head again. Jessica leaned in closer with anticipation as Taeyeon retook her position in front of Tiffany again.

The whole crowd around them fell silent, all waiting for Taeyeon to say the all embarrassing line. Taeyeon’s ears were burning bright red whilst her expression was distorted.

“M-Master Tiffany… P-P-Pup… Puppy-Yeon wants –”

“Alright that’s enough embarrassment. Honestly Yuri, who allowed you to bully my butler this much?” Tiffany’s voice interrupted Taeyeon’s line. Taeyeon looked up from the floor immediately and noticed Tiffany staring at Yuri with a very amused grin. She then turned around to Yuri and Jessica, hoping for answers. The other two just shrugged their shoulders and continued laughing to themselves.

“I would call this fair, I hope you learn your lesson and never embarrass your master again, alright Puppy-Yeon?” Tiffany smiled evilly at Taeyeon as she patted Taeyeon’s head. Taeyeon was left speechless.

“How long did it take your to snap back?” Yuri questioned. Taeyeon remained unmoved on the floor in front of Tiffany. Confusion was all that Taeyeon was experiencing.

“I snapped back the first time Taeyeon uttered ‘Master’ but I thought it would be fun to continue the act. Looked like I wasn’t wrong,” Tiffany patted Taeyeon’s head again and stood up confidently. Finally realising what had just happened, Taeyeon stood up abruptly and faced the three heiresses with bright red ears.

“I’m hungry. Let’s go get some food to eat,” Tiffany suggested before walking calmly away. Jessica and Yuri followed obediently, still laughing every so once in a while at Taeyeon’s previous scene. Being of a lower class and serving as Tiffany’s butler, Taeyeon had no power to speak up. Feeling dejected, Taeyeon merely walked behind Tiffany without uttering a sound or word.

“Isn’t this a surprise? Good afternoon Hwang Tiffany,” a lower voice interrupted the four. Taeyeon and Tiffany turned around to see who had called Tiffany and was met with a tall rather handsome male smiling back at them. Yuri and Jessica turned around shortly afterwards, wondering why the two had suddenly stopped.

“What do you want?” Tiffany groaned tiredly at the male. Yuri and Jessica immediately stood in between the space between Tiffany and the male as if to protect the Hwang heiress.

“I see Yuri and Jessica are with you today,” the male chuckled.

“It’s always such a pain meeting you too Siwon. Have you been handling your twenty women properly? No one found out about the other yet?” Jessica greeted in an ironically kind tone.

“It’s twenty now? I thought it was thirty-five last time I counted,” Yuri feigned a surprised expression. Taeyeon peered from the back, wondering why the two were acting so oddly. As she took a few steps forward to take a closer look at the male, Tiffany quickly grabbed onto Taeyeon’s arm and pulled her back.

“Stay here. I don’t want him getting near me,” Tiffany whispered hurriedly into Taeyeon’s ear. Taeyeon obeyed immediately and stood guard in front of Tiffany with the heiress’ arm still around her elbow.

“Very funny girls. Shouldn’t you both be helping your family companies? From what I heard, my family company is still ahead of both of yours combined,” Siwon mocked back. Jessica and Yuri were left momentarily stunned as they had nothing else to say. Taking the chance, Siwon moved swiftly behind the two females towards Tiffany, only to be intercepted by the much shorter Taeyeon.

“I’m sorry Sir, but you do not have an arrangement to meet with my master. It would be much kind if you returned in fifty years’ time, my master and everyone else here would very much appreciate it,” Taeyeon said confidently. Siwon blinked with astonishment at the shorter butler in front of him. Disregarding the shorter blonde’s words, he manoeuvred to the side to talk to Tiffany but was blocked once again by Taeyeon.

“I kindly remind you sir that my master does not wish to see you. May I take a message?” Taeyeon’s tone of voice had a hint of arrogance which came as a surprise to Siwon. Aside from Tiffany, Jessica and Yuri, no one would have dared use such a tone with him. Jessica and Yuri from behind Siwon were finding the situation amusing with Siwon’s dumbfounded expression.

“Listen you little rat, I’m –”

“Taeyeon, sir. My name is Taeyeon, not Little Rat,” Taeyeon interrupted again in an assertive voice. Yuri and Jessica’s smiles grew with Taeyeon’s confidence against Siwon. Tiffany who was standing behind Taeyeon was surprised that anyone would stand up against Siwon in such a matter and was starting to feel almost thankful that her father had hired someone who remained loyal to only her needs.

“Taeyeon? What kind of sissy name is that?” Siwon mocked in an arrogant tone. Taeyeon smirked at Siwon’s remark and shrugged indifferently. Siwon then decided that he had enough of the games and reached his hand out to grab Tiffany’s hand. Before he could reach her hand, Tiffany moved away from his touch and Taeyeon’s hand grasped onto his wrist to stop it from proceeding any further.

“I will not repeat myself again, sir. My master does not wish to speak to you, nor does she wish for you to touch her. Touching Miss Hwang by any means shall be considered as ual harassment and I will have no choice but to take action against you,” Taeyeon warned again in a deeper and darker voice. Siwon pulled his hand away from Taeyeon and raised an eyebrow at the butler before him.

“You wouldn’t dare,” he challenged. Taeyeon merely smiled calmly at Siwon but did not reply back. Tiffany from behind couldn’t help but find Siwon’s situation amusing and had to keep a hand over to not ruin the atmosphere around them. Siwon then gave Taeyeon one last glare before slowly walking off away from Tiffany.

“Have a good afternoon, sir. Do be careful that none of your mistresses hear of this event. A woman’s wrath is one that even I cannot compare to,” Taeyeon smiled innocently and bowed to Siwon. Yuri and Jessica eagerly waved Siwon a farewell before running back to Taeyeon and Tiffany excitedly.

“I can’t believe you did that. Every butler before you would run off with their tail in between their legs at the sight of Siwon,” Jessica was the first to voice her comment.

“Wow, you have guts Taeyeon. I can’t wait for the next encounter. I was silently hoping that he would try one more time so that you could give him some sort of punishment,” Yuri beamed. Taeyeon blinked rapidly at Yuri and Jessica crowding her. She was not quite sure why they were making such a big fuss of her turning down a male and was even more confused as to why they talked so highly of him.

“Well, I have to see you’ve done at least something well today. I’ll have to keep an eye on you, Puppy-Yeon,” Tiffany smirked from behind Taeyeon. She then lifted her hand up and patted Taeyeon’s head like a pet’s again. Taeyeon then felt something hard against the crown of her head when Tiffany patted her head. She lifted her hand up and came in contact with a pair of puppy ears. Quickly taking the headband off, she stared at it intensely in her hands.

“I’m sure Siwon is probably beating himself up for being intimidated by a shorter butler with puppy ears. Very amusing indeed,” Yuri patted Taeyeon’s back proudly. Taeyeon groaned quietly to herself. She had forgotten to take the ears off earlier after Tiffany had returned to her normal state and couldn’t help but feel embarrassed with the recent encounter.

“Choi Siwon intimidated by a puppy butler. Sounds like a headline to me,” Tiffany sneered from the front.

‘Choi Siwon! Don’t bully her!’

Taeyeon stopped her steps immediately when a childish yell ringed through her ears. She quickly turned her head around to where she thought she heard the sound but noticed no one within hearing distance.

“Are you alright there Taeyeon?” Jessica questioned when she noticed Taeyeon looking around desperately. Taeyeon flinched at the sound of Jessica’s voice, not expecting a familiar voice to fill her hearing.

“Ah, yeah I’m fine. Choi Siwon was the man previously right?” Taeyeon questioned hesitantly. Tiffany stopped walking ahead and turned to give Taeyeon an odd glance.

“Yeah, he was. Choi Siwon of the Choi’s incorporated. One of the largest food businesses in Korea,” Tiffany explained briefly. Taeyeon nodded her head slowly as the grip around the puppy ears tightened.

“You’re not worried about what he’s going to do to you, are you?” Yuri questioned. Taeyeon exchanged glances with Yuri for an odd moment before shaking her head slowly.

“The name sounded familiar, that’s all,” Taeyeon reasoned.

“Well, it’s a name you shouldn’t be too familiar with. He’s nothing but a bully that guy. Ever since a kid he’s been a spoilt kid. One of the reasons why I dislike him so much,” Yuri huffed.

‘Taeyeon-ah! Siwon is bullying me again!’

A sharp sudden pain pulsated through Taeyeon’s head as another unfamiliar voice could be heard. Taeyeon lifted her hand up to relieve the pain but the pain continued to pulse regularly. Feeling weak at the knees, Taeyeon staggered to a nearby bench and took in deep breaths to try and relax the pain. Yuri, Jessica and Tiffany quickly rushed over to the odd acting Taeyeon.

“Are you alright?” Yuri questioned. Jessica quickly took out a water bottle and handed it to Taeyeon whilst Tiffany stood helplessly on the side. Taeyeon kindly declined the water bottle, not wanting to seem any weaker than she already was to the business heiresses.

“The pain killers just have some side effects,” Taeyeon reasoned.

“Pain killers?” Jessica and Yuri said in unison. Tiffany understood the meaning behind Taeyeon’s words as the image of the blood droplets at her door flashed in her mind again. Not wanting to feel helpless she then took the water bottle from Jessica’s hands and held it straight in front of Taeyeon’s face sternly.

“Drink up. It will help with the headache,” Tiffany mumbled below her breath. Taeyeon stared up at the water bottle for a few moments whilst Yuri and Jessica stared at Tiffany. Ever since they could remember, they had never seen Tiffany actually offer any kind of help to her butlers and seeing Tiffany offer Taeyeon some water was something that they thought would never happen.

“I’m not going to offer it again. Drink,” Tiffany ordered. Following the orders given to her, Taeyeon took the bottle from Tiffany’s hands and drank from it slowly.

“Well, this is certainly out of your character Tiffany. Are you sure you’re not feeling ill as well?” Jessica questioned curiously. She the simultaneously raised her hand to Tiffany’s forehead and checked her temperature. Tiffany swatted Jessica’s hand away with annoyance and raised an eyebrow up at her friend.

“What do you mean it’s out of character?” Tiffany asked back oddly.

“Well, you left all your previous butlers to suffer. Why the sudden change with Taeyeon?” Yuri shrugged. Taeyeon, Jessica and Yuri waited for Tiffany’s answer but Tiffany was left speechless. She hadn’t realised that her actions for Taeyeon were different from those of her previous butlers.

“I just don’t want him slacking off later in the day. My dad’s probably not going to get me another slave for another month or so,” Tiffany said abruptly.

“Isn’t that what you wanted? To not have a guard dog follow you around all day?” Jessica continued to interrogate.

“Yes… and no. Without a butler I will have to carry everything by myself and it would be tiresome,” Tiffany reasoned. Jessica stared at Tiffany for a few moments. She then slowly nodded at Tiffany and turned her attention back to Taeyeon.

“Well, I think you should bring your butler home and rest him up for a bit. Seems like you’ve already overloaded his circuits,” Yuri suggested when she saw Taeyeon starting to feel uncomfortable. Tiffany scanned over Taeyeon quickly and nodded slowly at Yuri when she saw Taeyeon’s weak state.

“Taeyeon. Let’s go,” Tiffany’s stern voice ordered. Taeyeon stood up obediently and nodded. The heiress then walked off towards the exit as her butler followed behind, leaving Yuri and Jessica alone.

“There’s something different about that butler. I just can’t seem to pin point what it is though,” Jessica whispered to Yuri.

“The name Taeyeon is oddly familiar. I just can’t remember where I’ve heard that name. He’s an odd one that Taeyeon,” Yuri added.

“I just hope Tiffany isn’t too harsh on him. He seems like a good one to keep around and is especially useful for warding off Choi Siwons,” Jessica concluded. She then grabbed onto Yuri’s hand and started pulling her towards the food courts in the amusement park. “Tiffany promised that she would buy my food. Since she’s left early, you have to pay for her instead.”

“Wait, what?” Yuri quickly pulled her hand away from Jessica and stared at the excited girl. Jessica merely smiled innocently at Yuri and started tugging at Yuri’s hand again.

“I’m joking. I don’t feel like going home yet so why don’t we go around the park and find some stuff to eat,” Jessica smiled innocently. Yuri allowed herself to be dragged by Jessica for a few steps, trying to decipher any hidden messages behind Jessica’s words. When she found no hidden messages she gladly followed along with Jessica in the hunt for food.

“I’m sure we can send the bill to my uncle under Tiffany’s name. It wouldn’t be too much of a shock,” Yuri beamed as she led Jessica further into the amusement park.

“If you weren’t feeling well you could have taken the day off or stayed and did some cleaning at my place. No one forced you to come with me,” Tiffany scolded once she and Taeyeon reached her car. Taeyeon lowered her head and nodded slowly, feeling embarrassed that her master was scolding her for such a small matter.

“I don’t think my dad would be pleased with me if you suddenly passed out in the middle of the amusement park. He’s already fond of you and he is very protective of people he’s fond of,” Tiffany continued as they hopped into the car. Taeyeon remained silent for she couldn’t think of anything to say with her numbing headache. Noticing the silence from Taeyeon, Tiffany turned around to inspect the ill butler again.

“It doesn’t seem like you have anything to say. Something must really be wrong then,” Tiffany added. Taeyeon chuckled at Tiffany’s accusation and shook her head.

“I don’t think it would be appropriate to voice out my thoughts during this moment. Unless you want me to voice my thoughts I shall keep them to myself,” Taeyeon chided with a triumphant smile. Tiffany rolled her eyes after hearing Taeyeon’s smart comments that always left her cornered.

“Maybe I should just enjoy saying things without having a smart reply from the likes of you,” Tiffany chuckled silently to herself.

“I apologize for cutting your time with Miss Yuri and Miss Jessica short. I shall try to keep myself in better shape so that I do not interfere with your plans,” Taeyeon suddenly apologised. Tiffany stared blankly at Taeyeon before turning her attention to Taeyeon’s arm. She then remembered when Taeyeon handed back her purse with a bloodied hand and flinched at the thought of the pain it must have caused.

“Don’t worry about it. Just take better care of your arm before I do anymore shopping.”

Taeyeon shifted her gaze over to Tiffany and raised an eyebrow. Tiffany sent Taeyeon a cold glare before turning her head to face the window. Taeyeon smiled to herself at the realisation that Tiffany was generally concerned for her and was quite shocked that Tiffany had heart big enough to actually care for an annoying butler.

Feeling the smirk that was growing on Taeyeon’s face, Tiffany quickly picked up the pair of puppy ears and placed it swiftly on Taeyeon’s head. Taeyeon widened her eyes when she felt the headband touch the crown of her head and reached her hand up to pull the object off her head but Tiffany quickly stopped her by swatting her hand away.

“Don’t think you’ll go unpunished. Puppy-Yeon will have to stay until the end of the day,” Tiffany grinned with accomplishment. Taeyeon checked her reflection in the head mirror and sighed.

“Yes… Master Tiffany,” Taeyeon mumbled under her breath. Tiffany laughed at the dejected expression on Taeyeon’s face and found that her butler really did resemble a cute puppy. Realising that she had just referred to Taeyeon as ‘cute’ Tiffany quickly turned her gaze to the outside scenery again and mentally scolded herself for thinking such thoughts.

Refocusing on the scenery outside the car, she noticed that they were nearing her home. A feeling of loneliness overcame Tiffany when she saw the familiar houses that weren’t too far from her own home. Despite the luxurious interior and lifestyle that she had, Tiffany would rarely spend her time at home. With the knowledge that her day had ended early, she felt almost disappointed that the rest of her day would be spent alone.

“We’re here,” Taeyeon’s voice only made Tiffany’s dejected feelings strengthen. The all too familiar exterior of her house was seen outside her window. There was not a sign of anyone in her home like it always was when she returned home.

The door of her car then opened suddenly, frightening her from the momentary shock. Taeyeon’s figure appeared before Tiffany accompanied with the puppy eared headband.

“Are you feeling okay milady?” Taeyeon questioned when she noticed Tiffany’s fright. Tiffany cleared and unbuckled her seatbelt hastily. She then stepped out of her car and walked proudly to the front of her door. Fumbling with the keys, Tiffany opened the door to her empty home. The sound of her heels on the front porch echoed between the walls of her house. The sound was all too familiar to Tiffany but she had never gotten used to it.

“Are you sure you’re feeling okay?” Taeyeon questioned again from behind. Tiffany quickly turned and blinked blankly at the butler standing before her.

“I thought you were going to go back home. There’s nothing else left to do.” Tiffany had wanted to question Taeyeon’s reasons but instead it came out as a statement.

“It’s still early. My day doesn’t end until after six,” Taeyeon explained.

“Ah,” Tiffany murmured. Trying to shake off her previous thoughts, Tiffany took off her heels and immediately made her way to her room, leaving Taeyeon to the rest of the house. Taeyeon checked the wall clock beside the door to see that her day was to end in three hours. Having nothing better to do, Taeyeon decided to start on the dinner preparations.

As Taeyeon had just barely started on the food preparations, Tiffany came out of her room in her loose comfortable clothing and plopped herself onto the couch. She then turned the TV on loud and gave a tired sigh.

“Is something troubling you milady?” Taeyeon questioned. Tiffany hummed back at Taeyeon in response, neither answering a yes or no. Feeling the dull atmosphere around Tiffany, Taeyeon decided to cut some apples for Tiffany in hopes of giving her master some energy rush.

Placing the plate of freshly cut apples on the table in front of Tiffany gently, Taeyeon stood aside and waited patiently for Tiffany to take a piece. Tiffany gave an odd glance at Taeyeon but nevertheless, she took a piece of the apple and popped it into . Seeing that Tiffany was eating the small snack, Taeyeon returned to the dinner preparations, causing the house to become awkwardly silent with nothing but the TV blaring through the house.

After an hour or so, Taeyeon had finished with the food preparations. Finding it too early to serve dinner Taeyeon decided to clean Tiffany’s house to occupy her time instead. She busied herself tidying the shoes in front of the door, packing away the random books and clothing on the floor and organizing the coffee table on the lounge.

As she was tidying the coffee table, she noticed Tiffany’s steady breathing beside her ear. Glancing briefly to her side, Taeyeon saw Tiffany sleeping soundly on the couch in a fairly awkward position.

“I can understand why your father wants someone to look after you. You’re like a kid,” Taeyeon whispered as she pretended to knock Tiffany against the forehead. She then stared at Tiffany for a few seconds, debating whether she should just leave Tiffany there or not. Opting for the other option, Taeyeon carefully bent down and placed her arms beneath Tiffany’s legs and neck.

As gently as she could, Taeyeon carried Tiffany off the couch and made her way to Tiffany’s bedroom. When she noticed the bedroom door was closed, she cursed herself. Stepping from side to side, Taeyeon tried to reach for the door knob. Not wanting to risk hitting Tiffany on the head, Taeyeon reached the arm that was underneath Tiffany’s legs to reach for the door. Successfully managing to grab hold of the contraption, Taeyeon inched her body closer to the door so that she could push it open.

As she stepped through the door, Tiffany’s legs bumped against the door frame, stirring the sleeping princess from her sleep.

“Huh?” Tiffany mumbled incoherently. Finding the situation awkward and very inappropriate, Taeyeon quickly walked past the door and stood perfectly still. Tiffany, who was still very much asleep, rubbed her eyes innocently.

“Shhh,” Taeyeon hushed in an attempt to lull Tiffany back to sleep. The quiet hush seemed to have worked as Tiffany nuzzled herself deeper into Taeyeon’s arms and fell asleep once more. Taeyeon glanced down at the sleeping Tiffany who was burying herself in Taeyeon’s chest.

‘Has a lot more support than you thought huh?’ Taeyeon inwardly joked at the fact of her chest being slightly larger than what Tiffany would have presumed. Feeling her arms starting to tire, Taeyeon placed Tiffany onto the bed gently and pulled the comforters around Tiffany, allowing the heiress to sleep comfortably.

Not wanting to risk herself getting caught, Taeyeon quickly exited Tiffany’s room and gently closed the door behind her.

“Huh?” Tiffany had suddenly awoken with the sound of her stomach calling. She lazily opened her eyes slightly, expecting to see her lounge room but was surprised when she was met with her own bedroom. Sitting up slowly, Tiffany rubbed her eyes and scanned her surroundings again.

“I must have walked into my room,” Tiffany concluded with a yawn. Hearing her stomach calling again, Tiffany opted to go out into the kitchen to rummage for food. As Tiffany walked out of her bedroom and towards the kitchen, she noticed a figure sitting at the dinner table. Her eyes opened immediately with all her sleepiness disappearing in an instant.

“Oh, milady. You’re up,” the figure at the table stood up immediately. Tiffany then recognised the figure to be Taeyeon with the puppy ears still in place. She quickly turned to the wall clock to see that it was well past nine o’clock at night.

“It’s past nine. What are you doing here?” Tiffany questioned with another yawn. Taeyeon chuckled at Tiffany’s sleepy acts and made her way into the kitchen.

“You didn’t eat before you went to sleep, so I decided to wait until you awoke again. I was sure you were going to be hungry and food should be best enjoyed freshly made rather than microwaved and overcooked,” Taeyeon explained briefly before putting an apron on and starting up the pans. With the food preparations already done before hand, it wasn’t long before Taeyeon managed to place a plate full of food onto the table.

Tiffany stood in her place the entire time, staring at the back of Taeyeon questionably. Taeyeon was merely paid to work from six till six and she was sure that her father didn’t pay overtime. She was confused as to why Taeyeon would stay well past her working hours, just to serve her food.

“Are you not hungry?” Taeyeon questioned when Tiffany still refused to move. Tiffany snapped out of her own thoughts for a moment as she made her way to the table. She sat herself in front of the dish that Taeyeon had prepared and could smell the addicting aroma of the food tickle her taste buds. Before she could dig into her food, she paused and glanced over to her dedicated butler.

“Why are you going through so much trouble?” Tiffany questioned bluntly. Taeyeon tilted her head to the side, confused at why Tiffany would question so.

“Your shift ends at six. You’re here over three hours later,” Tiffany clarified. Taeyeon smiled innocently at Tiffany and shrugged.

“I just think that microwave food just emphasizes the loneliness of living alone. Also, it would make all the effort I put into the food go to waste. Microwaving destroys the already cooked meal,” Taeyeon explained with a smile. Tiffany nodded her head slowly and turned her attention back at the dish prepared specifically for her. Noticing that Taeyeon was dawdling beside her, she deciding to take her spoon and scoop a share. Blowing to cool down the spoon, she then directed the spoon towards Taeyeon and smirked.

“Didn’t Puppy-Yeon want to be fed?” Tiffany beamed confidently. Taeyeon was momentarily stunned at the spoon before her and stared back up at her master. Tiffany gestured at the spoon again and raised an eyebrow mockingly.

“I don’t think –”

“Just eat it. It’s my way of testing for any dangerous poisons,” Tiffany chuckled. Having no other choice, Taeyeon took the spoon into and swallowed her share manfully. Tiffany smiled even wider at Taeyeon and patted her head like a pet’s again.

“Good puppy,” Tiffany complimented. Taeyeon merely chuckled and shook her head slowly at Tiffany. Tiffany then turned her attention back to the dish and decided to fill her begging stomach. She then noticed Taeyeon taking a seat in the furthest chair away from her on the other side of the dining table, waiting for her to finish her meal. Tiffany couldn’t help but feel as though her usual lonely feelings had been suppressed if not disappeared. Glancing up at her waiting butler again, Tiffany felt herself give a small but warming smile.

‘Thank you.’
