Chapter Two
Rewrite The StarsKrystal.
I woke up early to help my mother prepare a breakfast. We brewed coffee, fry eggs and bacon and cooked garlic rice. I was setting up the dining table when Mr. and Mrs. Kim - Jongin's parents - arrived at the dining room. "Good morning, Sir. Good morning, Madam." I bowed in respect and greeted them. My mother did the same. It was one of their rules. 'Rule #1. Keep in mind that you are a maid and we are your bosses. Always show us some respect and honesty.' I can still remember how serious Mrs. Kim was when she said those words. I'll never forget about that golden rule. Though they might be strict, the benefits, perks and help they gave me and my mother made our stay worth it. They gave us a house, clothing and monthly groceries on top of my mother's monthly salary.

"Good morning, Young Master." I bowed in respect. Of course, I had to show the same respect to Mr. and Mrs. Kim's only son.
Jongin winked at me when our eyes meet again but I kept a blank face, careful not to show any feelings toward him. After all, I'm just a daughter of their maid. His parents would never accept me as his girlfriend.
"It's Saturday. Are you going somewhere?" Mr. Kim asked Jongin as he took a sip on his coffee.
Jongin quickly glanced at me first before replying to his father. "Yep. I'm going to school today."
