How Can I Love You, a Servant? (Short Story)
# There's no way I could love a mere servant.
So I said you shouldn't take it out.. haha
김여주
..!
That's the man.
That man, the servant, whose fresh smile I saw in the morning was beautiful.
김여주
...
I looked at him with blank eyes.
Then, he spoke to me first.
최수빈
Excuse me, could you give me that stopper?
He pointed to the stopper I had pulled out and asked.
김여주
ah,
김여주
Ah, that..here..!
최수빈
Thank you.. haha
김여주
..
He smiled at me, as if he was grateful for something.
I didn't understand him at first, but once I fell for that smile, I didn't have time to think about it.

He put a stopper in and sealed the oak barrel.
김여주
..thank you
최수빈
..?
최수빈
Oh, no
최수빈
By the way, are you the lady of this mansion?
김여주
..huh
최수빈
Your dress is completely wet...
최수빈
Are you okay?
김여주
..ah
Then I realized that my dress had gotten soaked as the wine flowed down.
김여주
...you're worse
I looked at him, soaked in wine from head to toe, as he blocked the oak barrel from which wine was flowing down his entire body.
최수빈
..ah
최수빈
I'm fine
최수빈
If you go and change...
유재희
Oh my, Miss..!!!
Jaehee ran towards me in a hurry.
유재희
What is all this..!?
김여주
..Oh, I'm going to drink some wine..
유재희
Hi, what kind of wine did you drink with your clothes?
김여주
...
Ahem..
유재희
Come quickly, you need to change clothes.
김여주
..oh, yeah
김여주
..
I hesitated for a moment and then spoke to Subin.
김여주
..you follow me too.
..Oops, did I speak too harshly;;
최수빈
?
최수빈
Oh, yes, my lady
When I called, Subin followed me with a stiff look.
김여주
..
..this isn't it..;;
김여주
Jaehee, please get some bath water for that male servant.
유재희
..yes??
최수빈
!
최수빈
Oh, no..!
최수빈
I...I just need to change my clothes.
김여주
..Aren't you going to listen to me?
It was a meaningless word to Yeo-ju, but it sounded eerie to Soo-bin.
최수빈
..Oh, no
유재희
..No, Miss
유재희
Still, take the water from that servant...;;
유재희
What would the Count do if he found out?
김여주
..then, fill my bathtub with water.
김여주
You, wash there.
최수빈
..??
Soobin looked at Yeoju with rabbit eyes, more flustered than before.
유재희
miss..!??
Jaehee also had a puzzled look on his face, wondering if the female lead was strange.
김여주
I said.
유재희
..yes, miss
김여주
..Change into these clothes
I brought clothes that commoners wear.
최수빈
..oh, yes
김여주
...
I handed the clothes to Subin and stood there blankly.
최수빈
..
최수빈
..Excuse me, can I wash myself?
Soobin asked cautiously.
김여주
Yeah, you even gave me water to wash up with.
최수빈
..yeah, right..
최수빈
But if you keep standing there...
최수빈
I can't take my clothes off..
김여주
..ah.
김여주
..Oh, sorry..!!
I came to my senses at Soobin's words and quickly left the bathroom.
최수빈
..;;
Subin looked bewildered as she saw the back of Yeoju leaving in a hurry.
김여주
...
Oh my gosh, I'm crazy...
Why did you keep standing there..;;
Ah..really..
I was confused about everything.
Why was I so awkward around him? I always felt like I wasn't myself in front of him.
My helpless appearance was strange to him.
유재희
miss
김여주
?
유재희
Miss, you should go wash up quickly too.
김여주
..Oh, right, that's right
유재희
Oh, let's go
유재희
Why is the young lady suddenly taking such good care of the servant?
김여주
..huh?
유재희
That's right, if you were a young lady, you wouldn't even look at the servants...
김여주
..I?
유재희
Yes, of course
김여주
..
김여주
I guess it's because my father won't let me get close.
유재희
Yes, but why are you so kind to only that servant?--
김여주
..kindness?
유재희
When will those servants ever get to use a noble bathtub, right?
김여주
..Is that so
..I'm just worried that my clothes are wet because of me.
..it's just like that
So I finished my bath, changed into a new dress and came out.
유재희
Now you're clean!
김여주
Yeah lol
김여주
But what about that guy?
유재희
That guy?
김여주
Yeah, that male servant I even lent you the bathtub for.
유재희
Oh, of course I already washed up and went out.
김여주
..already?
I felt a bit regretful.
유재희
Yes, I'm a servant and I have to work.
김여주
..ah
I see..
유재희
Okay, and now you should have dinner, young lady!
유재희
The Count is coming today and we're going to have dinner together~
김여주
Oh, right
유재희
Come on, miss haha
김여주
huh
등장인물
1 | No, you know what?
등장인물
1 | That cold lady gave her bathtub to the new male servant.
등장인물
2 | Wow, really?
등장인물
1 | Yeah, yeah, the maids in charge told me... (whispering)
등장인물
3 | What's going on, is it possible that you have a relationship with that male servant?
"Ahem.!"
유재희
It's getting a bit noisy these days.
유재희
Right, miss?
김여주
Yeah, that's right
등장인물
1 | Eek, uh.. Miss..!?
등장인물
2 | J..I'm sorry..!!
김여주
No, it's okay
김여주
It could be misunderstood
김여주
However, if you are a loose talker, it will be difficult for you to stay in our mansion for long.
등장인물
1,2,3 | ...Huhup,
The maids kept their mouths shut and lowered their heads.
김여주
What are you doing? Go and take care of things.
등장인물
1,2,3 | ..yes!
So the maids ran away.
김여주
..
유재희
...Really, whenever I get a chance, I gossip about other people and all the people below are so bad.
김여주
..
'Snickers'
김여주
Well, it's the same whether you gossip about the ones above or below, lol
유재희
..Miss..
Jaehee looked at Yeoju with worried eyes.
김여주
Jaehee, I'm okay
김여주
But, am I that cold..?
No, I'm really curious
I didn't even talk to the maids or exchange much of an opinion with them, so when did I start to think they were cold?
유재희
..
Jaehee watched the female lead's expression.
김여주
..Why, do you think it's cold?
유재희
No... well... I know very well that our young lady is really warm-hearted...
유재희
But... honestly
김여주
..to be honest?
유재희
He looks just like the Count, his face and way of speaking are so strong...
김여주
...
유재희
No, not...~!
유재희
Don't worry about what those guys are saying...!
김여주
..okay
유재희
Ah, you really are handsome, just like the Count, right?? But you really have that unique Count charisma vibe..? That's why it's a bit difficult to approach you.
Jaehee opened his mouth slowly.
김여주
Jaehee, you can stop
유재희
..Okay, yeah..
김여주
lol
김여주
You are such a talkative kid.
유재희
..Are you ignoring me because I'm young?--
유재희
I'm two years younger than you, but I'm very talented! -3-
김여주
Yeah, I know that too
김여주
I just did it because I thought it was cute how talkative you were.
유재희
..Gasp, Miss..~!
유재희
Such exciting words..!!
김여주
Haha ...
Ttukbuk._
The sound of shoes is getting closer.
등장인물
Count | Lady, how have you been?
김여주
!
김여주
Yes, father
김여주
Let's go eat
So I had a meal with my father.
While I was eating, I watched my father, who was always blunt, and swallowed the food without even knowing if it was going into my mouth or my nose.
After dinner with my father, I prepared to go to sleep.
김여주
...
But, I can't sleep.
As expected, I had to force myself to eat too much food, so after spitting it out, my stomach felt empty.
유재희
Can't sleep?
김여주
..ah,
김여주
Jaehee, you go to bed quickly.
김여주
You couldn't even go to sleep because of me...
유재희
No, Miss..!
유재희
..I was just worried..
김여주
..lol
김여주
Okay, go in and rest.
유재희
..
유재희
..Yes, if it's really difficult, please call me again
김여주
Yeah, go in
After sending Jaehee back like that
I tossed and turned throughout the night.
김여주
..
"Gulp._"
...hungry
I threw up everything I ate, so that makes sense.
Swish._
I quietly got out of bed and headed outside.
The night in the mansion was dark and empty.
The wide hallway was so empty that it felt like I was in another world.
김여주
...
I wandered around the mansion.
After so much digging around the mansion, I soon got tired and crouched down in front of the stairs.
dump._
김여주
..under
김여주
I'm so hungry I can't sleep, and I can't eat at this hour...
김여주
What should I do...
So, I was counting the number of stairs in the mansion alone, one by one, when I heard someone's footsteps from somewhere.
Ttukbuk.
Ttukbuk._
김여주
!
The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally they stopped right in front of me.
