@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan [] lol that's alright xD

Yeah I know but it's fine among us. Just don't let anyone else know /smiles picking up my cup and sets it in my lap/ IF they question it just tell them I was practicing for when i need to pour a drink for the emperor /winks playfully lifting the cup up to my lifts taking a sip of the tea/ This tea is very delicious!

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri ()okay so this is real late but I'm back from the dead;;

*blinks before nodding and sitting back down quietly* This is a bad look though. You serving a servant. I mean it'snot like that but it is what it looks like and that wouldn't be good for someone to walk in to. *smiles softly, taking the cup carefully as I speak and settling it in my lap*

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan Oh I know what you mean. I'll be sure to stay clear of them and to not be convinced by their antics /shakes my head setting it down on the small table in front of us/ Its alright I've done this many times before you don't need to worry about me. /takes a seat in the resting area across from you, picks up one of the cups with my hand carefully handing you the cup while my other arm is placed under the cup keeping it steady/

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri *scratches my head as I think about something to say that doesn't sound completely horrible* In my opinion they're all the same. Like I said, they only want one thing from you and they play with you until they get it and I just don't think that's anyway to go about life. There's nothing genuine about them and I feel like I'm surrounded by money loving machines sometimes. *stands up to help you with the tray* I can get that, don't worry.

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan Yeah that's the way I see it other than that your wasting your time talking about him /removes the kettle off of the stove pouring each of us a cup of green tea, turns the fire off putting the kettle on a tray with the cups/ so what are the others like? /grabs the tray and brings it over towards you/

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri *smiles and leans back on my hands, finally getting a chance to relax without having to worried about someone calling for me* Yeah, I don't think they'll bother you about that. And that's exactly how it is. When you're here, you can do whatever you feel and there's no interruption unless he needs you. It's a simple life. It's like anything normal with that extra part. *gestures with my hand before leaning back again*

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan Alright green tea it is! /grabs the tea and the tea ball pouring the tea into the tea ball/ Oh that sounds good enough for me. I don't really want any of the other concubines bothering me about the emperor like you mentioned earlier. /checks the water making sure it's getting warm, adds the tea ball into the kettle/ the way I see it is that he'll call for you when he needs you other than that you can relax and do as you please

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri *sits in the resting area and stretches a bit before answering* I think I'll go with green for now. Nothing special. * gestures to the area where the rooms were set up and crosses my legs* There one room that'snot occupied that's has more dark colors than any. I think it's a dark green and black. It looks pretty comfortable and has a nice view. You'd probably like it.

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan Alright I'll go get the tea started /walks to the kitchen and grabs the tea pot filling it with water, turns on the fire on the stove before putting the pot over the fire/ what type of tea do your normally drink Jihwan? green, black, white, herbal, or red? /opens the cabinets looking at the different types of teas/ plain will work just fine for me I'm a servant i don't need to be pampered to perfection. I probably should go for the light colors though i think i prefer the dark because it will be quite and i'll be able to sleep.

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri *gestures to the kitchen and folds up a few sheets, putting them in a closet space* That sounds good, There's a tea pot over there somewhere. *sighs as I finish up and looks over at you* I don't think there's anything else to do right now actually. The maid is coming back later so it's fine. As for a room... That depends on your style? Would you be more comfortable in something more plain or luxurious? Lighter colored or maybe something dark and sensual?

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan /chuckles softly walking back into the estate/ how about we have some now you know just to make things a little more comfortable. well what do you think? /looks around at the estate/ is there any thing else you need to do to clean up? /snaps my fingers and grins/ would you recommend which room I should choose I want to be sure that i'm comfortable here in the estate.

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri *chuckles as we come back in and holds up a finger* More like piping hot. Cold is alright too, i guess. *grins and goes to gab the stuff you folded, putting it away in it's rightful place* Ahh, I don't really mind the work anymore. And I know that I'm serving the emperor so I feel I've succeeded in a way.

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan Oh really guess i'm not the only person who enjoys a daily cup of tea /chuckles softly following you back to the estate/ I bet you prefer yours to be warm don't you? I tend to enjoy mine best when cold. /looks at you with a surprised expression/ your working too hard you should take sometime to relax a little for yourself and your health as well.

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri ()Totally fine XD

Ah, I don't worry about eating much. I drink a lot of tea though. *chuckles softly as I dust myself off and gestures for you to follow me back up to the estate* Sometimes some of the maids have to remind me to actually eat something or they'll bring something from the kitchen. I get lost in thought a lot when I work... Or, I think I just space out a lot haha

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan [] it's alright I'll just be even later xD

That sounds like a nice idea. /finishes hanging up the last few articles of clothing on the clothes line/ I enjoy cleaning honestly so if I were able to be a servant I'd probably be doing the same as you. Every now and then I'd give myself a break though to rest or eat a small snack while I'm at it.

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri ()sorry for the late reply. I'm getting to all my replies right now haha

*hums to myself for a moment before answering and looks over at you as I wash off my hands in the clean water* Well sometimes I won't have much to do because normally I am called on if needed. And while I used to go to the temple and meditate for a while, I instead started to help out the maids a little. In return, they bring me little gifts.

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan Alright guess I won't have to worry about it /takes the clothes handed to me adding them in with the ones on the clothes line/ What's your main job around here? Since you mentioned your doing the maids job. How come she isn't doing her job?

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri *blinks slowly as I think about it and shakes m head* Don't worry about it. I'll cover for you if she says anything and besides, I'm doing her job right now so it wouldn't be right of her to say anything in the first place. *chuckles and makes quick work of the rest of the clothes and sheets, handing them to you as I go*

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan Alright I'll make sure I get these hung up /starts pinning the rest of the clothes you washed one by one on the clothes line/ Do you think the maid will report me for helping you out with everything? I'll try to get everything done before she's able to see me though.

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri Smart girl you are. *nods to myself and finishes up with the first batch of clothes* these ones are done. I'll start on the next one while you hang those and by the time I'm done the maid should be back. This is not really my job but I like to do this for them sometimes. *grabs the next bin and starts to wash them, glancing over at you every now and then*

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan Of course it's just how I am. And yes I know how it's like when your cleaning alone /clicked softly listening to you as I finish hanging the clothes you gave me/ well its good to know you think that way. While I'm cleaning I usually talk to myself or think about what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm not one to really gossip.

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri You're a genuinely curious person, aren't you? *smiles shortly before thinking of what I usually do while I work* Sure, this place is better than any. What I would have been doing if not for being here would have been extremely low on my list. But while I work, I prefer to... Well, I just like to work. I don't do much of anything.

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan Oh that's not too bad. What's something you enjoy doing while your cleaning? /smiles taking the clothes to handed me, walks over to the clothes line hanging the clothes up to dry/ I'm sure your proud to be serving in the imperial palace. It's better than anything I here.

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri *washes each piece thoroughly as you speak, nodding shortly as I note this* Ah well, I've been here for a while. Maybe like four or five years now...So maybe not that long but a while. *shrugs lightly and hands you a few things to hang up before going back to washing* Now that I think about it, I have been here for quite some time now. I didn't even notice until now. That's funny

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan /nods following behind you as you lead me towards the washing area* Alright I'll just hang them as you rinse them out /nods my head firmly walking over to the clothes lines grabbing a few clips for when you hand me the clothes/ Hmm I think it might be going on two years now. But I recently was brought here. How long have you been a servant here? if you don't mind me asking.

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri *nods shortly before gesturing for you to follow me over to the washing area as you speak* Ah yes, you can do exactly that. I'll be finished with these in a second and then I'll let you hang them. I'll hang the sheets and you can hang the clothes. *crouches down again and goes back to washing* Hmm, I'm curious. How long have you been a concubine? Especially after being a servant.

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan Hmm? Alright I'm coming! /turns around once I hear the sound of you voice but without giving myself enough time to react i accidentally bump into you/ your fine It's my fault for being a bit clumsy. /I reply dusting my skirt off as well/ So still need help with the washing? I'm finished so I'll be able to help you if you need me to hang the clothes up to dry.

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri *scrubs quietly, thinking to myself for a while until I hear your voice and I immediately snap out of my reverie to look around for you* I'm over here... *stands up from my crouching position by the water and goes to follow where I heard you first, bumping into you once I come around the corner* Oh- I'm so sorry. *chuckles softly and steps back a bit, dusting myself off a bit*

@ⒾⓈ Jeon Jihwan /stacks everything on one of the beds once I get everything folded and separated/ Hmm that was quiet easy I'll go check on Jihwan /walks out of the estate slipping my shoes back on before looking around for the laundry area outside/ Jihwan? do you need any help with the washing I've finished up the folding already I wasn't sure where you wanted me to put them so I set them on the bed. Where are you? /I say still looking around for you

@Ⓒ Park Kyungri Well I'm glad then. You have enough for your respect, at least. *nods shortly before I actually leave and hauls the bin up onto my shoulder as I leave the room* Interesting indeed... *sighs and carries the clothes into the laundry area outside, dumping the clothes and sheets into the water before rolling up my own clothing and scrubbing the first few pieces*
