Second Time

JANE

Today my work piled up a little because Grace was sick. I'm trying to finish my work because it's getting late. I exhaled loudly into the air looking at the pile of documents on the table. If my job isn't done then I'll be late for home, but I want to see Grace in the hospital, I want to know her situation. I didn't call him today for fear of interrupting his break so I decided to just go see him later.

I was still busy with my work, I suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door and the figure of a prince emerged from the door of my room. His face looks so bright with a big smile.

"Jane." She greeted me.

"Tu.mr Ken." I was a little surprised to see his sudden appearance. For a second I was stopped from my activities, like being hypnotized by his presence. But I tried to take my consciousness back and get on with the job.

“Hey why are you always surprised every time I come?” He chuckles.

"Ma.sorry, sir."

"Sorry for what?"

For what, huh? I'm also confused as to what I'm sorry for? Do I have to apologize for always being surprised to see you? I am always surprised when I see you. It's probably because of your charm that can't be hidden. Not just me but my heart too, I could have died young of a heart attack if I saw you every time.

"Mmm, for anything." I finally found the right word.

"Well, I forgive for anything." She laughs.

Don't laugh, please! My heart is very difficult to condition right now. I don't know what the sign is today, why he casually entered my room at this hour of work. I glanced at him at a glance, this man looks so dazzling every day. It was fortunate that I could stare at a prince from a fairyland every day, just by seeing him had given an injection of spirit in me.

"Is there anything you need?" I asked her for her needs.

"No, I just want to visit." He sat on the couch without me giving it up.

Whahuh? Visiting? I was more and more confused by this man's attitude, with the leisurely he said the word visit, why did he do it? What does it mean to visit my room? But obviously he did nothing, just sitting on the couch. Sometimes men are confused.

"Jane, are you happy to be here?" He glanced at me.

"Yes, sir." I have no other words to answer.

What does it mean to ask like that? if I'm happy what does he want? or if I'm not happy what does he want? Hmm, actually I'm happy here, it's just that sometimes I get nervous when I meet this guy. I don't know why I'm confused about my own feelings.

"Jane, are you busy after work?”

“I'm going to the hospital to see Grace, mr.”

“Hmm, is that it?”

“Ya.”

Why did he ask me after I got home from work? Does he want to ask me out. I laughed at myself with my silly thoughts. There's no way that's the case, where maybe this perfect guy asked me out on a date. Then why did he ask? Is he talking about my not-so-fun life? Hmm I'm a mistake, not my life that's not very pleasant. But my love life is concerning.

“I'll come with you.” He continued his words.

“Mmm, alright sir.” I have no reason to refuse.

“Jane, we are both now, you do not need to call me master, just call my name, talk casually with me.” .

From the caste of work alone I am clearly far below him, if I do anything with him I can get kicked from the project, worse yet kicked from Eiregin Corp, I don't want to be unemployed even though my family belongs to a conglomerate. For me to work not only for money, but to fill my daily time and of course to socialize, find friends or one of them can also find a lover. I snickered in my heart because of my own thoughts.

"Good, Ken.” I answered soberly, I somehow felt uneasy.

“Jane why do you always look so hard on me?”

“No, Ken. I'm just.” I was confused as to what to say.

“What because of that night?” He interrupted my words.

“I..iya.” I finally said it.

“Why? You're not doing anything.” Not doing anything he said? I'm sure I've done things beyond my senses.

“I just feel embarrassed, I must have been acting stupid in front of you while drunk.”

“Hey, did you really think about that?” She laughs.

“Yes, I was always second-guessing about what I did that night.” I wonder what I've done.

“Do you want to know? Do I need to tell you?” He asked and I nodded.

Finally he told me what I did that night while drunk, of course I felt very embarrassed. But at least I was relieved that I was no longer curious about it. It turned out that night I was really acting silly, even I scolded her for thinking that she was Liam. It's stupid of me to make a man as handsome as Ken as an outlet for my anger just because of a loser guy like Liam.

The hour of my return home has come, but my work is not done. Ken was generous and intervened to help me finish my work. After that we went to the hospital to see Grace, but she came home. Huh why didn't he tell me when he came home. Ken said it was likely that Grace was on break so had not contacted me yet, I nodded, my fault is also just visiting her now.

"Are you hungry?" Ken asked

"Mmm, very." I smiled because I realized that my stomach was hungry.

"I am too." Ken chuckles.

"Let's eat a little bit."

"Well, what do you want to eat?" Ken asked me.

"Come with me, there's a nice place to eat nearby." I pulled Ken's hand out of the hospital.

Not far from the hospital there is a food stall that I think the menu is very good, I ate there once while guarding Grace yesterday. I invited Ken to try the food there, who knows it also fits his taste.

Arriving in front of the food stall, I realized what I was doing. I still hold Ken's hand. I immediately released it slowly so as not to be too obvious. I do grieve for myself, why am I casually grasping this man's hand and pulling him from the hospital all the way here. Oh how stupid you are, Jane. I cursed myself, if I was alone I wanted to turn upside down because I felt so silly.

I glanced at Ken at a glance, he looked ordinary. Thank goodness he didn't realize what was happening. I felt like stroking my chest but it was impossible because Ken would see it and wonder why I was stroking my chest.
