♡♥♡ seven : mess

"Going back to the mansion, Jihyuk?" someone from the same company asked as he pats on the young lawyer's shoulder. Both of them are now waiting in front of the elevator.

"Yes," Jihyuk replied with a smile.

"I like all your suggestions in the meeting room just now,"

"Thank you,"

"How's Jungwoo's sons?"

"They are good as always,"

"I should visit the mansion sometimes,"

Jihyuk says nothing after that. He knows this old man very well. Mr. Jun is not very friendly. Everybody in the company talks to him only because they feel bad to ignore such an old man. He's rich, but he always wishes to have more money. He sometimes talks to Jihyuk about marrying his daughter to Onew, Lee Jungwoo's eldest son.

Anything, for money.

Jihyuk entered the mansion with a smile.

It's almost 12pm.

And today is the first day for the special maids, serving the problematic sons. Jihyuk wonders if anything goes wrong. As much as he wants to stay in the mansion to monitor the ten youths, the meeting at the company just now can't be avoided. Mr. Lee is in US now since Korea cannot provide the treatment he heeded, and Jihyuk is taking care of his company, his mansion, and his sons as well.

"Jihyuk-ah!! Thank God, you're back!" suddenly Onew appears out of nowhere, running towards him, covering his body in a green blanket from his nose to toe. Only his eyes can be seen.

"Wh-.. why are you playing with this blanket?" Jihyuk quickly asked.

"Please help me! That Youngjin is not a maid. She's a witch!" Onew shouts.

"Witch..?"

"Yes, a witch!"

"Where is she?" Jihyuk asked.

"I'm here, oppa,"

Jihyuk turns back and he saw Youngjin, holding a broomstick in her hand.

"What are you doing with the broom..?" Jihyuk asked.

"She hits me with that broom, Jihyuk! That's why I'm using this blanket to protect myself from her attack!" Onew replied, and now he is hiding behind Jihyuk.

"Is that true, Youngjin?"

"Yes,"

"May I know why?"

"Oppa, he's too much!" Youngjin replied, putting on an annoying expression on her face.

"Now.. both of you please sit down. Let's talk over this matter,"

"No need, oppa. No matter how you tried to look at this matter, it's his fault!" Youngjin said, pointing her finger to Onew.

Onew took a few seconds to squeeze his hand out of the blanket and points back at Youngjin.

"You're the one with a broom, so you're at fault!"

"Don't blame me, or I'll hit you again!" Youngjin snapped, and Onew took a few steps backward, using Jihyuk as a shield.

"What happened?" Jihyuk asked.

"I brought him bread and butter for breakfast, but he said he's allergic to butter. So I brought him a bottle of marmalade jam. But he said the bottle is too big! I tried to be patient with his stupid claims, and I brought a smaller bottler of marmalade, but then he said he hates marmalade! He should have told me that earlier, right? Instead of complaining on the size of the bottle! Let's not talk about him complaining the colour of the tray, my blouse and my long hair as well!" Youngjin gave Jihyuk a long explanation.

The young lawyer couldn’t help but to agree with Youngjin. Onew is acting stupid.

"The bottle is indeed too small! I'm just telling you the truth!" it's Onew's time to snap.

"Why do you care about the bottle if you don't even like what's inside?"

"I love marmalade,"

"But just now you said you hate it.."

"I'm just joking. I want you to do more jobs, that's all," Onew replied, and he doesn’t look guilty at all.

And Jihyuk excuse himself when Youngjin chase Onew with the broomstick again. He took out a small notebook, and drops a small cross under Youngjin x Onew's section. One problematic pair, they need more understanding.

"Don't break anything," Jihyuk said, more to Youngjin who is holding the broomstick as he walks to the dining room. He saw Seunghee is standing besides Minho, who is eating his.. brunch. [breakfast + lunch].

Seunghee is just standing. And Minho is eating. No one says anything. No cursing. No fighting.

Even though both of them share bad memories of the first day they met, it seems like both of them are mature enough not to fight over it in the mansion. That's what Jihyuk thought so he drops a tick under Seunghee x Minho's section.

"BOOM!!"

Jihyuk swear he thought someone just drop a bomb in front of the mansion, judging the sound and the furniture around him that shake a bit, too.

"What.. is that ..?" Jihyuk asked. Both Seunghee and Minho are now staring at him, too.

A few seconds after that, they saw Honey running down from the stairs and made her way towards the small drawer in the living room, and took out that certain remote control.

"What are you doing, Honey?" Jihyuk asked.

"I need to talk to that idiot!" Honey snapped as she pressed the red button on the remote control, turning on the plasma screen.

Key appears in the screen, and he looks so scared. It took him a few seconds to realize that everybody is watching him on the screen now.

"You!! You're crazy, you know that?!" he shouted, pointing his finger to Honey.

"You're the one who set up those stupid military kind of steel behind your door, and you call me crazy?!" Honey shouts at him, too.

"That military steel protects me from bacteria, okay?!"

"Gosh, that's so stupid. I can't believe one actually put up such steel just to hide from bacteria,"

"Well, thanks to the steel, I'm saved from your bomb!"

"Wait, wait. What bomb?" Jihyuk asked.

"Hyung, that girl just explode a bomb in front of my door! Did you hear the sound just now? It's her, hyung!!" Key is shouting in front of his camera, pointing his finger all the times to Honey.

"Since you said those who can't get you out of that stupid room are idiots, I just want to show you that I'm not an idiot," Honey replied.

"So you set up a bomb in front of his door..?" Jihyuk asked, and Honey nods slowly.

"That's.. dangerous, Honey," Jihyuk said, slapping his forehead.

"Yes, that's dangerous! Punish her, hyung!" Key said.

"Yes, I will punish her. You will get your punishment too, Key,"

"Wh-what?? Why? I did nothing wrong!"

"You set up that military steel in this mansion without my permission,"

"B-but.. hyung! It's just for my safety!"

"You'll get your punishment as well," Jihyuk said as he marked another cross under Honey x Key's section.

"Where did you get the bomb?" he asked as he turns to Honey.

"Seunghee unnie bought it for me," Honey said as she jumps on the sofa.

"What? Where did you get that, Seunghee?" Jihyuk turns to Seunghee, now.

"I bought it from a black market," Seunghee replied with an evil smile.

"Why..?"

"I just saw it, so I thought Honey might need it,"

"Why did you go to a black market?"

"To buy some poisons,"

And Minho choked the rice he's eating.

"Poisons?!" he asked.

"Yes. Why?" Seunghee asked him back.

"Don't tell me you put poisons in these dishes.." Minho asked, pointing to the food in front of him, and he looks pale too.

"Okay, I won't tell you," and Seunghee stay quiet after that. Minho turns much paler due to his belief that Seunghee had put some poison in his food, so he spat out the remaining food in his mouth.

"I can't believe you use such dirty trick!"

"Shut up. I'm not that evil to poison you!" Seunghee is now raising her voice.

"But just now you said you poisoned me!"

"I said nothing regarding that! What's up with your head? Delusional-much?!"

"Then where is the poison?!"

"I use it kill a rat! I saw one in the mansion yesterday! See, I'm just trying to save your brother from squealing to death over rat's bacteria!" Seunghee is now burning, pointing her finger to the plasma screen.

"Oh my god, there is a RAT IN THIS MANSION???" Key is now shouting on top of his lungs.

"Thanks to you, now he will never step out from his room!" Minho snapped.

"Yes, I won't," Key said before he turn off the camera in his room, and the screen went black.

"You forced me to talk about the rat!"

"No, I didn't!"

It took them a few more lines each before they started throwing food at each other.

Jihyuk sigh when he saw that. He thought at least Seunghee and Minho are not problematic, but he's wrong. Three crosses on the same page is so demotivating. He was hoping for Jonghyun and Taemin with their maids, at least, to be good to each other when he heard a loud scream from upstairs, obviously from one of the regular maids [not the newly-hired, special maids].

"Jonghyun-shi is deadddd!!!"

"What??!" Jihyuk feels like somebody just grabbed his lungs out when he heard that sentence. Jonghyun is dead?!

He climbed the stairs as quick as he can, followed by Onew in his blanket.

"Jjongie!" Onew called for his favourite brother's name when he saw Jonghyun, lying on his stomach in front of his room. And he's not moving at all.

"Jjong, tell me who killed you!" Onew shouts as he shakes Jonghyun's body.

"How is he going to tell you if he's dead?" Youngjin, who is still chasing Onew with the broomstick, said when she heard Onew just now.

"Ah.. neh.." Onew replied and he looks blank. He turns back and he saw Resha is standing not very far from Jonghyun.

"You must be the killer!" he said, pointing his finger to Resha.

"No, I'm not! He's not even dead, yet! I just kicked him, not killed him!" Resha replied.

"You kicked him?" Jihyuk asked.

"He's a ert! So I thought I should teach him a lesson!"

"What had happened?" Jihyuk asked. As usual, he is always calm.


"Here’s your breakfast," Resha said as she put down the tray on the small table besides Jonghyun's bed.

"Thanks," Jonghyun said, giving Resha a seductive smile. As much as Resha thought he's the hottest among all sons in that mansion, his status as a flirt is more than disturbing so Resha ignores his smile.

"Eh, what happened to my face?" Jonghyun asked with a blank face.

"Nothing is wrong with your face. You look stupid as usual," Resha replied.

"That is so mean," Jonghyun said as he jumps off from his bed, looking for his mirror. He then starts checking every inch on his face when he finally standing in front of his big mirror.

"Keep on checking your face. I'll go first," Resha said. She was about to left when Jonghyun blocks her way.

"Resha Lee, you're the first girl who has no blushes on your cheeks when I smile. So I thought something is wrong with my face," he said with another killing smile. Blame the very few inches between their faces, Resha thought her face is now boiling she quickly took a few steps backwards.

"Whatever. I'm going now," she said, and again, Jonghyun blocks her way.

"I need your help," the fourth son said, and much to Resha surprise, he turns the other way and took of his shirt, exposing his . He really looks y from that angle Resha thought of slapping her own face she has that thought.

"You, ert!!" Resha shouted and she kicked Jonghyun out of the room as hard as she can.


"You kicked him just because of that?" Onew asked, patting on Jonghyun's head. Resha really hate those two sons, but she couldn’t help but to think they are cute together.

"Yes!" Resha replied, confidently.

Jihyuk was about to bend down and check on the second son when Taemin and Rin suddenly burst out from Room 105 together, running towards him while pushing each other at the same time. The tall, skinny Taemin can't really balance himself when Rin pushed him so he fell. Rin stick out her tongue at him as she continues to run.

"Oppa, move!!" Rin shouted as she motions Jihyuk slowly to the other side before she ran downstairs.

"Rin, where are you going?" Jihyuk asked but the girl is nowhere to be seen. Taemin, who is now back on his feet jumps over Jonghyun and made his way downstairs.

Jonghyun, who is pretending to be dead was about to shout at the magnae when he saw the youngest jumped over him, but then he realized Jihyuk is there, so he canceled his plan to shout at Taemin.

"Jonghyun, wake up. Stop pretending," Jihyuk said when he saw Jonghyun blinked his eyes.

"Jihyuk-ah, it really hurts~ she kicked me so hard!" Jonghyun said to Jihyuk as soon as he got on his two feet.

"That's because you're a ert!" Resha snapped.

"What?! I was about to ask you to wash that shirt, that's why I took it off!" it's Jonghyun's turn to snap back. He's lying of course. He took off his shirt on purpose to give Resha wrong impression. Appearing bad is his hobby. But he can't say that since Jihyuk is close, so he came up with the washing excuse.

"Wh..why didn’t you wash it yourself!" Resha tried to find other reason to blame Jonghyun.

"Why do I have to wash my own shirt when I have a maid to do that?!"

"I don’t want to talk about this anymore! Jihyuk oppa, I'm going to watch ZE:A on TV now!!" Resha shouted as she walks down the stairs. Jihyuk was about to mark another cross for the day when all of them heard a loud thump from the kitchen. The sound is so loud, causing Jihyuk to drop his notebook on the floor.

"What is that sound?" Onew asked, and Jonghyun shook his head.

"What now.." Jihyuk muttered to himself, bend down to pick up his note book and make his way to the kitchen.

He tried to stay calm when he saw a big mess in the kitchen. Fruits, vegetables, broken eggs and what not are scattered everywhere on the floor. There are unrecognizable colour of liquid on the floor too, resulted by some juices and cordials mixed together. And at the corner of the kitchen, he saw the giant fridge on the floor, horizontally.

Taemin and Rin are standing on both sides of the fridge, staring at him.

Jihyuk took a deep breath. He pulls out a chair from the dining table, and he took a seat. He stays in silent for a few moments before he open his mouth.

"Taemin, Rin. Explain the mess,"

"Um.. all these.. *points to the mess* .. fell from the fridge, oppa," Rin answered the question with a low tone.

"What caused them to fell from the fridge?" Jihyuk asked again.

"Well.. since the fridge fell down.. with it's door opened.. everything fell out.." Taemin replied this time.

"And what caused the fridge to fell?" Jihyuk asked as he marked the fifth cross in his notebook.

Both Taemin and Rin stare at each other before they begin their story.


"Ah, so the maids lie?" Rin asked as soon as she put down the breakfast tray on Taemin's desk.

"What lie?"

"They said you woke up at two. But it's only 12 and you're up already,"

"Today is an exception. I got a special exam this evening, so I woke up early," Taemin replied without looking at the girl.

Rin, who loves to talk keep on trying to start a conversation but it seems like Taemin is never interested to talk.

"You drink three glasses of milk?" she asked, pointing to the three glasses on the tray.

"Yes. Don’t tell me it's too much for someone as skinny as me," Taemin replied.

Rin actually really thought three glasses of milk looks too much for a person who is as skinny as Taemin, but she quickly changed her answer as soon as she heard the boy.

"No. I think three glasses are too less. You need to drink at least seven glasses,"

"What?! Seven? Nobody can drink that much!" Taemin said, putting down the notes he was reading just now besides him.

"I can. Everybody can. It's not my fault if you can't," Rin replied, though she herself thought that reply sounds stupid. How can everybody drink seven glasses of milk just for breakfast?

"I can!" Taemin said as he gulped down one glass of milk in a second, causing Rin to widened her eyes.

"And I can finish these two in two seconds!" Taemin said, grabbing the second glass. He finished that too in one second. He was about to finish the last one when Rin grabbed the glass from his fingers and drink it all up herself.

"There. Now there's no evidence that you can finish three glasses in three seconds," she said, smiling.

"You, are afraid of losing, right?!" Taemin started to raise his voice.

"I just want to show you that you can't drink three glasses in three seconds,"

"I can drink three bottles if I want!"

"I can drink five!" Rin is shouting, too.

It took them 30 more seconds before they challenged each other to finish up all milk in the fridge. No one is playing fair, so without counting 'one, two, three,' they both dash out from the room, aiming for the fridge.

Not wanting to lose, they keep on pushing each other, and luck is with Rin when Taemin fell. She saw Jihyuk and Jonghyun in her way. Rin is kind enough not to jump over Jonghyun, and she motions Jihyuk slowly to the other side and continue running to the fridge. Taemin followed behind her a few seconds after that and they both reach the fridge at the same time.

"I'll finish everything!" Taemin said as he opens the fridge, grabbing two bottles of milk.

"These are mine!" Rin said, squeezing in herself in between Taemin's skinny figure and the fridge's door, grabbing four bottles and put them down besides her ankles.

"You thief! Those are my milk!" Taemin shouted, but Rin ignored her and took out another two bottles.

"Ah, there are more!" Taemin feels excited when he saw a packet consist of ten more bottles far inside the fridge. He held his hand to grab them, but the small girl again squeeze herself in between, aiming for the packet, too.

"You already got six bottles!"

"I want more!"

Taemin swear he's going to kill whoever keep the new packet so far inside that giant fridge. Well, it's taller than the already tall Taemin, and Taemin think he can actually push Rin into the fridge and lock her inside to death. That doesn’t sound bad.

They both keep on pushing each other, grabbing everything in their way like cabbages, ketchup, soy sauce, a few carrots and some more, and throw them on the floor. Well, they can easily get the new packet of they didn’t fight..

"I think one of us have to get into the fridge.." Rin suddenly said. Taemin gave her a stare before both of them tried so hard to crawl into the big fridge from two ways, causing the unbalance tall technology to swing.

"Get out, get out!" Taemin said when he noticed the swing. He grabs the girl's wrist and they both manage to escape the fridge before it fell horizontally, with everything inside falling down on the way, and end up lying horizontally on the floor with a loud thump.


"You two did this..? The skinniest *points to Taemin* and the shortest.. *points to Rin*.. It's the fridge, for God sake!" Jihyuk said as he stood up.

Usually them both will snap when people call them skinny or shorty, but knowing the big mess they had caused, Taemin and Rin chose not to say anything.

"Everything is mess. Chasing people with a broom, annoying people with marmalade, buying poison and bomb from the black market, kicking and pretending to be dead, and ruining a giant fridge, and today is only the first day!" Jihyuk said again, and he doesn’t look pleased at all. Understandable.

"I think we.. we just need more times to know each other..?" Seunghee muttered, and Youngjin nods.

Jihyuk gave them both a stare before he walks into his office, in the same level.

"Is he angry..?" Honey asked.

"I think so.." Onew replied.

"What should we do.." Resha muttered.

"Why did you kick Jonghyun?" Rin asked.

"It's nothing compared to what you had done to the fridge," Resha said, pointing her finger to the fridge.

"Ah.. neh.." Rin muttered, giving the fridge a glare.

They keep on mumbling to each other when Jihuk appears again with a very big book in his hand.

"I will put this book here," he said as he put down the book on the table beside the stairs. He took out a few pens and placed it beside the book, too.

"What is that book for?" Seunghee asked, and the rest is paying attention to the young lawyer now. They seem so curious about the big book.

To be continue..
