Chapter 8: A Few Mixups

(Y/n) exited out from the storage room with a fresh bottle of the cleaning solution in hand. As she proceeded to make her way back towards the library, she found herself halting once the sound of heavy breathing entered her perception. Turning around to inspect the origin, she was greeted with a hollow corridor that didn't seem to hold any sing of life. The alerting sounds had also stopped, leaving the silence to completely envelop her surroundings. Once her suspicion had died down the female turned her back to the route, only to hear the same agitated huffing.

The female swivelled back to see a door just a few feet away, being shut from her swift movements. The girl stared at the structure under doubt if she had even witnessed it properly, only for her feet to slowly carry her towards the mysterious entrance. She stood in front of the door for a few seconds, simply surveilling it and contemplating over what action she should take, doubting she had even seen the movement. Spending an elongated time simply weighing out chances in her mind, the female froze in the spot as the door was cracked open for head of black, slick hair to pop through the gap.

The moment the female locked her (e/c) eyes with the pair of wide, golden ones she immediately recognised her watcher. The boy darted out of view before immediately shutting the frame to create a hindering obstacle for the girl to pass. (Y/n) glared at the closed door before she began slamming her knuckles against the structure in a coaxing manner.

"House keeping!" Her irritated voice rang through the halls, seeping into the room like a venomous threat. The girl grabbed onto the handle, realising the male would lock the entrance any second she wasted, and quickly began pushing against the opposite force. Once she managed to unlatch the lock and created a gap, she firmly set her foot between the frame and door to maintain the progress. "The hell is wrong with you?!" With a single push against the driving force, the boy found himself sliding against the wood as the nonexistent friction lead to him stumbling into his own clutter.

(Y/n) lightly opened the now unobstructed door to see her observer trying to regain his balance through the mess. Gennai looked up at the girl who towered over him with a spiteful scowl, and immediately felt his instincts urging him to dive further down in his belongings as an attempt to escape.

"Why were you watching? Did you think I was going to steal something again?" The male turned his head away in arrogant disregard. (Y/n) felt her temper peak at the dismissive behavior before her entire senses began getting irritated with the sight before her. Somehow, the clumps of cloths, items, furniture and objects seemed to have birthed more since the last time she had visited the room. She almost pitied the entire chaos as the entire space seemed to be getting engulfed in the mess.

Gennai noticed her scrutinising sights assessing the area, and quickly stood up in a protective manner. "Stop looking around! If you're here to judge then I'd rather you screw off than look at my precious belongings!" The boy stood before her, as tall as his body could stretch him, trying to obscure as much of the view of her environment. (Y/n)'s blank look seemed to muffle his perception over her thoughts, and was surprised when she turned around to walk out of the door.

The male lowered himself back on his heels as he suspiciously scanned the threshold of the room. After concluding the female had completely left him on his own, he proceeded to walk back to the comfort of his belongings. Preparing to adequately seat himself amongst old toys and boxes, his attention was grabbed by the sound of rustling synthetic material emanating from the doorway. He looked back to pinpoint the origin of the noises to see the girl reentering the room with a black roll of plastic that she unwound to separate into a large bag. Gennai quickly caught onto the female's intentions and immediately threw himself on top of a small pile of pots and decor.

"Get that treasure disposer away from me!" His eyes were glued to the plastic carrier he interpreted as a weapon. The girl huffed out her frustration before fanning air into the sheet until it gained its proper volume and depth. The male's bright orbs widened at the implicitly of the act as he automatically strengthened his grip on the objects. "No! Don't came any closer!"

"For God's sake, enough! I can't stand looking at this hurricane of a room. I'm going against the schedule by doing this but I can't be blamed for switching a few things over. This needs to get fixed as soon as possible." As she approached the panicked boy, he began refutably shaking his head in frantic rejection. "Gennai, please let me help you-"

"Go away! I told you to leave my room. It's perfect the way it is! Everything in here is useful!" The girl could see the deluded denial in the boy's eyes and knew she would first have to bring him to her level before the room could be touched.

"Come on, dude. I mean, do you really need this?" She lifted up a box that once held a pair of sneakers to be inspected by the boy.

"Of course! I might need to put my shoes in there." (Y/n) felt her nerves snapping at his excuse as she waved the empty container around.

"It's for shoes of a 5 year old! You don't need it." However, the male stuck his hand in a massive pile of cards and packets before retrieving a small pair of matching sneakers.

"Actually, I still have them." Speechless, the girl could only stare at the boy who seemed to have greatly committed to collecting his stash.

"Oh my God, you do...that's it, put them in the bag. I don't care, everything here has to go." The girl disposed of the shoe box to the mercy of the black plastic, earning an annoyed growl from the hoarder. In contrast, the male set a mission for himself as he gathered as manny scraps and objects he could reach for, and seemed to be developing a protective nest in protest of her intentions. 'This is going to be harder than it looks...'




"Gennai, you don't need this. It's an empty candy box, let go!" The girl's austere tugging against the carton further increased the boy's grasp on the empty cardboard.

"I might need it one day!" His repudiate attitude soon began spiking the female's nerves as she felt as though she were in an argument with a child.

"Gennai." She sternly stared him in the eyes, asserting her position and dominance over the situation as her scowl held a scolding undertone while the two stared at each other. "Let. Go." The girl's finalising words seemed to finally reach the male's stubbornness as he reluctantly began gradually loosening his hesitant clamp on the box. Once the item had been unlatched to a degree, she abruptly snatched it away while exchanging spiteful glares with the obdurate boy.

She sighed out her relief, contemplating whether or the not the 10 minutes she had spent convincing him to hand her the empty carton were worthwhile. However, she chose not to grieve over the wasted time and turned around to place the box in the plastic bag that had slowly but surely began filling up with the trash that dominated the space. As she placed the single pack inside, her body stiffened as the sound of cardboard upon hollow objects cluttered to the ground, hitting each other in a dreaded symphony.

Fearing the worst, she turned back around to face the boy, having a mini panic attack as she gazed upon the stacks of empty boxes and cartons that had freshly been scattered on the ground for the boy to fondly admire. Gennai noticed the girl's bewildered and challenging stare, alerting him to hug the useless pile for dear life. "No! You can't have these! You already got one!"

"Are you joking?!" (Y/n) stomped around the mess covering the floor and made her way towards the defensive male. "You can't be serious! Put them in the bag." The girl dragged the black plastic towards him before pointing the opening in his direction in expectancy to have it filled. However, he chose to protectively place himself in front of the trash in objection.

"No! They're my precious belongings! You have no right to take them away!" Clinging onto the clumps of boxes, he brought them close to his body in a desperate attempt to store them away. (Y/n) knew she would never manage to even touch the protected items, nor come in the vicinity of the objects surroundings him. Instead, she began throwing away the objects that were left defenceless and at her mercy.

Gennai's body shook with despair as the female began loading the black bag with item, after junk, after trash of what she deemed as unusable. "What's happening here?" The edged pair turned their attention to the doorway to see the young hoarder's sibling watching the events unfolding.

"Eban! Stop her right now! She's trying to steal my things!" The boy pleaded towards his brother in assurance that he would support his cause.

"Shall I take this outside the room? It looks full, start working with another bag." The blond politely took the heavy plastic disposal off of the girl, making his way out to place the trash in the corridor. The female gratefully granted the boy permission to join her while the second male insultingly glared at either of them.

"Traitor! Traitors all around me!" To the female's complete dismay, Gennai plopped himself face down, against the ground, remaining motionless for the longest time before quickly rolling under his bed with a last grunt of disapproval. (Y/n) stared in wonder at the action as she heard hinting noises of scratching and vague murmurs coming from underneath the frame.

"Is he ok?" The female whispered her concern to his sibling as she uncertainly began picking up the rest of the items.

"Don't worry about it. He's just having a tantrum." Dismissing the behaviour, the girl remained slightly unconvinced at the stability of the boy. She proceeded to haul a few more bags that were overflowing with unnecessary objects, out of the room.

"I've been trying to clean this room for the past hour, I'm guessing I'll be taking care of Giovanni's room tomorrow then..." While she commented her concern, she took out her schedule to seek out her next duty on her checklist. "I guess I'll go work on the study. I still need the dining room finished as well after this. Thank you for your help." (Y/n) expressed her gratitude as she politely patted his shoulder before preparing to leave the area. As she prepared to take her first steps in the direction assigned by the map, she was inwardly startled as she felt fingers looping around her wrist in a beaconing grip.

"You spent your time helping him and clearing up his side of the room...yet you're going to neglect my side?" The disappointed look on the male's features tugged at the girl's guilt as the only thing she could give him was an apologetic gaze.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't even meant to clear up your guys' room in the first place. I'll...try to make up for it another time, OK?" Despite the girl's assurance, (Y/n) felt slightly cornered as the boy continued sending her a doubting and cold look before a warm smile spread across his lips.

"Alright. Next time when you come you can spend all of your time on my side. He doesn't need any more attention than necessary..." Letting the female's hand fall out of his grip, the male gave her a last placid smile before retreating back to his quarters. The girl had to shake off the unwelcoming feeling that came with the comment and turned her attention to the new task.



"God, that was excruciating..." Emerging from the tidied and cleaned room, the female stretched the bones and muscles that had vigorously scrubbed and dusted the entirety of the space. To her surprise, the time seemed to have flown by as her curiosity over each and every object and studying book seemed to catch her urging interest, elongating the time needed to clean the area. It also came as a hindrance when she had to spend a large portion of her time trying to put together the globe she had accidentally unlatched during her wide eyed stupor.

Once she dragged out all the used supplies from the room, she proudly assessed its new state as she subconsciously patted herself on the back as an incentive to keep up the quality of her job. Taking out the crumpled schedule from her pocket, she studied the last place that was left for her to sort out on her list. Spotting the dining area on the ground floor of the compound, she picked up the cleaning supplies necessary from the mixtures that were displayed before her and had to pause in consideration between what she could possibly clean.

Once her decision was made, she assured herself with the singular thought that she would revisit the broom closet, if necessary once she had a proper viewing of the area meant to be tidied. Upon entering the dining room, she was slightly taken aback by the spaciousness of the large area and its immaculate condition.

Studying the great, rectangular table and the fine ivory, silken cloth draped over the large surface, the girl was mindful over nearing the delicate, pure material, heeding over the purity of the fabric. She looked around the space to see the dark, blue and white stripped wallpaper and fairly polished wooden pillars and decor. Scanning her eyes over the small number of paintings hung on the walls, along with glossing her sights over each accessory and intricate ornament that decorated the space with its buffed smoothness. Her attention was caught above the entire space as she looked up into the crystal chandelier that hung right at the center of the room, surrounded by carved patterns and shapes on the ceiling's surface.

(Y/n) could only compare the aesthetic of the area to a fine dining, high class restaurant that was only fit for those of fine taste. Those not of her upbringing.

The entire scope and look seemed to finally weigh over the girl as she was reminded of how far her world seemed from those who lived on the premises. Compared to her little kitchen that was barely large enough to hold her sister's wheelchair, she felt too bare and lonely amongst the overwhelming elegance that seeped from every inch. From the oak lining against the bottom of the walls to the thin, glass cups that were placed upside down on velvet napkins.

'God...I feel like I shouldn't even be in here...' Sighing to herself in heavy under appreciation, the female focused her eyes on selectively picking out any anomalies that needed to be cared for. After long minutes of searching, the only imperfection she managed to find was a freshly made stain on the floor that seemed to have been caused by a spilt drink.

The liquid drenched into the dark carpet, making it slightly difficult for the female to make out how large the stain actually spread. Kneeling down over the area, she sprayed the spot with the chemical cleaner and began coarsely rubbing the area with a scrub to soak up as much of the mess as possible. She ignored the pain in her back as she was left hovering over the stain, and simply focused on finishing up the job with a flourish.

"Oh, that's a tempting view~" A playful voice cooed behind the girl. The female quickly recognized the identity of her visitor along with piecing together the comment over her compromising posture. Straightening up to glare back at the boy, Lilito shot his hands up in an innocent display. "I swear I was only looking, I had no intention of touching. Yet." He walked past the doubtful female to take a seat on one of the refined chairs where he turned to observe the working girl. "Is the job getting tough for you, newbie?"

(Y/n) inwardly sighed, realising she would be stuck with his company until she finished the task of clearing the liquid. "I thought you had a date to go to?" The male gave her muddled look as he attempted to come to her level of logic.

"That was 5 hours ago. I just came back." This seemed to alert the female as she shot up in amazement at the new report of the duration she had spent in the house.

"That long?! I could have sworn it was way shorter than this..." She attempted to bring her collective thoughts on the period of time spent in the compound, but found it nearly impossible to connect the time she believed had passed to the reality. "How did the hours fly so quickly...? Doesn't matter, I'm already nearly finished with all the chores anyway...how did your date go?" The male was slightly surprised at the girl's consideration and saw the window of opportunity to boast about his accomplishment.

"It went pretty well. Went out, had a little fun~ and then broke it off with her. Pretty much my standard routine." He happily swung his legs in a pivoting motion, like a child that had just gotten away with a prohibited act. The pleased, goofy grin on his face emitting a contagious positivity as he proudly thought over his achievement. Soon enough, his smile seemed to fade as his phone buzzed in his pocket. Taking the device out, his brow crinkled in annoyance before tossing the mobile onto the table where the vibrations were only made more prominent from the hard surface.

"Troubles in heaven?" (Y/n) mocked the male's moment of bad luck as he simply tried to ignore the distracting buzzes of his mobile.

"Yeah, there's this one girl I hooked up with a few weeks ago and then left her a few days later. I think the chick is in love with me or something because she keeps texting me and wanting to go out and talk and stuff...she basically won't leave me alone." (Y/n) finished off her scrubbing with the chemical, considering the stain fairly invisible, and began drying out the area with a cloth.

"I would have thought you'd take advantage of that. You know, considering a girl is literally throwing herself at you." Lilito chuckled at the assumption before checking up on his burning phone.

"I did actually. I tried to go out with her for another week and maybe get some extra rump around hump, if you know what I mean." The suggestive wink the boy gave her lead her mind to quickly make an educated guess as to what the implicit meaning was. "But the whole time I spent with her made me realise how...annoying and clingy she was. So I just tried to break it off again, but she keeps calling and begging me back. My life sucks." The placed his arm over his forehead to further exaggerate his distress, only for an annoyed growl to come out once his phone began ringing. "Damn it Sasami...what will I do with her...?"

The male wondered to himself as he beaconed for an answer to his question in his mind. Lilito watched the ringing device as it continued playing on his last nerves. He had constantly tried blocking her on numerous occasions, but she seemed to always come back in another number form to pester him. The boy looked around for a distraction when he felt his last patience on the edge. As his eyes fell on the finished girl beside him, a lightbulb seemed to flash in his mind.

"Hey! Pretend you're my secretary or something and get her off my back!" (Y/n) wasn't even given a fraction of a second to register his request when she found her hands catching a phone in their grasp. The girl looked down at the ringing device before giving the boy a bewildered glimpse. "Just say whatever and give her an excuse to stop calling me."

(Y/n) prepared to further expand on the command, only to mute as the boy pressed the screen on the device, accepting the call. The girl froze in place as she heard a muffled voice come through the speakers before scowling at the male for throwing her in her pressured position. Lilito kept encouraging the female to take the call and proceed with the plan. Once he slapped his two hands together in a prayer to plead with the girl did he finally get her to move from her stiff posture.

"H-hello?" (Y/n) placed the speaker to her ear, immediately being overwhelmed by desperate and confused feminine vocals inquiring on her identity and where her lover was. The girl looked back up at the silent boy as he beaconed for her to improvise with the excuse. "I'm Mr Lilito's secretary, uhm...he can't come to the phone right now because he, uhh..." She let her confused gaze glide towards the male for guidance, only to be given an inconclusive shrug from the equally lost boy. "He's uhh...because he's currently in the middle of discovering the cure for cancer, please call back at a more convenient time." Finishing off her stiff and serious tone with her speech, she pressed on the display to end the call, allowing silence to engulf the room.

After a few minutes of expectant waiting, the pair were convinced they managed to get the persistent female off their backs for a long while. "Haha! My saviour! I owe ya one, newbie. I promise I'll make it up to you somehow." His voice lowered in frequency as he commented out his last guarantee, allowing his words to be enhanced with the leveled tone that enwrapped his statement. He placed his fingers delicately under the girl's chin, bringing her attention to his deep navy eyes as he gazed at her with a promising thoughtfulness and suggestive assurance.

"You can start by looking after my bag while I go and put the cleaning supplies away." The male was taken by surprise as his hands darted away from the female's face to be preoccupied with holding onto her belongings. Lilito stared at the girl as she began picking up each bottle and cloth, along with the bucket she used to carry the supplies in.

"Alright...that works too." The male disappointingly placed her bag on the table before lethargically leaning his cheek against the palm of his hand.

(Y/n) walked down the corridor as she recalled her steps towards the broom closet. Seeking out the direction of the room, the female prepared to turn a corner only to nearly knock into a large figure that appeared from the other side. "Oh, sorry I-"

"You again?!" A deep, aggressive voice rang into her ears as an unpleased expression came into view once she looked up into a familiar set of dull green eyes. The man looked down on the girl he had acquired the displeasure of greeting the previous day, and scrutinised her presence with clear disgust. "What is a brat like you doing in this compound? I told you yesterday I would have you removed by force if you set foot here again." The girl took a step back from the intimidating tone that came with the threat and was forced to swallow down the lump that had formed at her throat. Nori further inspected the girl in her silent reply before his eyes narrowed in denying wonder before his suspicions were confirmed with the notice of the cleaning items in hand. "Unless you're...the new staff member that had been mentioned...no, someone like you...?" His degrading whisper registered in the girl's perception as he eyed her with sharp suspicion.

"Yes Sir, as I said yesterday, I'm here to replace my mother for the time being." The man's glower deepened as his features stiffened into a stern and spiteful expression.

"I don't trust an average idiot like you to be around this place. If I see you trying anything questionable around here I'll make sure to personally call up Mr Kim and have you let off. Watch your step, you stupid child." The man proceeded to trudge past the female, leaving an unpleasant ambiance in his tracks the moment he left her vicinity.

The female looked back at the empty corridor as she allowed a sigh of relief to escape her lungs. 'What's his problem...?' The girl thoughtfully walked towards the storage room where she distractedly placed each one of the cleaning items inside their respected places. Feeling slightly discouraged at the older male's demeaning remarks, she attempted to push away the doubts and replace her downcast attitude.

Once the female was back in the dining area, she half expected the boy to have left his watchful responsibilities over looking out for her belongings. However, she was instead greeted by the cheerful boy as he gladly gave her belongings a gentle push across the table towards her. The girl felt her instincts slightly distrusting Lilito's positive attitude to scouting over her property and had to take the bag with great reluctance. "Hope to see ya tomorrow, (Y/n)."

"Huh...so you do remember my name." She teased the playful male as he simply gave her an insulted and disheartened look.

"That hurts. I know what to call you besides newbie, give me some credit." She rolled her eyes in an amused manner before swinging her bag over her shoulder in a prepared fashion. "You off already, then?"

"Yeah, I was supposed to work on Giovanni's room and I would do it right now, but I'm too worried about my brother and sister at the moment. I'll try and make up for it tomorrow. You have a good evening." The pair exchanged their departures, with the male seeming too pleased over the situation for the girl to logically reason.



As the female adjusted her posture on the bus for the dozenth time, she could finally feel the lower part of her spine taking its frustration out on her sensory nerves. The girl's back began to ache with discomfort as she was reminded she was merely half way home.

(Y/n) sighed out her frustration as she reached into her bag to quench her dried mouth, only for her fingers to slide past a thin and rougher item. Surprised at the unknown texture, she placed her full attempts into taking out the new object to label it as an envelope of a sort. The girl furrowed her brow at the unfamiliar discovery and hesitantly began opening the blank sheet up.

Once she had unlatched the seal, she discovered a piece of folded paper within the white sack. Upon further inspection, there seemed to be writing scrawled on one side of the folded section. "'A Forbidden Love Between A Cleaner And A Playboy'..."

The female pondered over the title before she caught on to the possible meaning of the paper. Once she spread the sheet out to its full size she discovered an entire side of writing that took up most of the space. (Y/n) quickly scanned over the length before reluctantly beginning to read in her mind, from the very beginning of the top line.

'(Y/n) looked away from the handsome boy before her. Knowing that her heart beat would surely be heard if her eyes further gazed into his deep orbs. She felt the temperature in her body rising with every step he took to approach her, causing a red tint to slowly form upon her heated cheeks...the hell is this...?' The girl blinked a few times as she further persisted forward to read through the fictional literature in confused disbelief. 'Lilito placed his lips to her ear, causing small gasps to emerge from the timid female as his breath caressed her lobe in a nonexistent kiss...' (Y/n)'s brows kept narrowing while her eyes progressively widened the further down she continued reading, right before she nearly screamed out her thoughts to the entire vehicle, releasing all the gathered air in her lungs. '(Y/n) does what to his what?!'
