It was already dark when the two arrived to Mina's office. The said heiress took her words seriously and focus on her works without bathing her eyes away from the papers. Chaeyoung, the new girl in the field doesn't know what to do to help her. She sat watching the lady in her office attire looking so elegant doing her work. When Mina finished the day ended and they decided to go home.


"Princess what do you want to eat?" Chaeyoung offered with her bright smile. Mina being Mina wasn't affected to it and gave her a cold...


"Anything" She's hungry but she don't really crave for a specific dish and she doesn't have enough energy to talk to her newly appointed secretary. Tired from work she goes straight to her room. Before closing the door she heard Chaeyoung saying she'll knock when the meal is ready.


Slumping herself on her mattress after changing, she decided to give a thought about the things that happened on her day.


"Stupid ojii" She mumbles and grab the nearest pillow to throw in the air. She's still frustrated to the thought that her grandfather wanted her to leave Japan.


Then her thoughts landed to a certain midget with a short hair and dimple smile. She's thinking how to get rid of the little tiger without killing her or hurting her. The simplest way is to let the cub terminate the contract herself. In her mind, she's making a plan to make the cub give up and lose its every bit of innocence to quit. If not for leaving Japan matter she'll let the girl be her assistant. Beause she knew better not to make a fuss out of the assistant thing but thinking about what her grandfather wanted she needs to make a move.


A sudden knock stopped her from her train of thoughts. Standing up she opened the door for the girl.


"Princess your dinner is ready" Chaeyoung slightly bowed and gestured the way. Unaware of the bad thoughts the devil heiress plotting for her.


"Chaeyoung right?" She started. The cub only respond with a smile and nod.


"Have you ever saw a person killed by someone?" Mina curiously asked. She's trying to scare the girl with the facts and Chaeyoung being sharp got the signal. 'Don't let her intimidate you' she remembered the old man Myoui said.


"No princess but I am willing to compromise." Mina didn't expect such answer from the little 'innocent' cub. 


"Why Ms. Son? Why are you betting your self for someone like me?" Mina herself can't decipher such reason for the girl to do such thing. Chaeyoung smiled once again. Knowing something Mina doesn't know. She took a step closer to Mina that the heiress got surprised and stepped back. She continued doing so until the door hits her back while Chaeyoung didn't stop.


"Because princess.." One step and another "You deserve the world" She finished and ended it with a smile. The usual cold facade crumbles down with how close they are now. Hint of red appeared on her face as their faces are only inches away.


"Get the fuck away from me" She gritted and gather every last bit of strength she have to compose herself not to succumb to such woman.


One weakness she have that only the closest to her knows is her fear of people getting close to her. It can be called claustrophobia, where she fears small or confined spaces. She can't take such action from someone, it'll only leave her flustered or mostly a panic attack. This is one of the reason why she doesn't like to have a freaking assistant. She did killed numerous people already, some of it because they tried to come close to her. Mina has been like that since the tragedy happened six years ago.


Chaeyoung step back, having her hands up in the air. Her smile never leaving her face.


"You look really cute like a penguin." She chuckled. Mina that's still struggling tried to retort. Her plan to scare and intimidate a certain midget seems to backfired.


"I'll reap that mouth of yours if you don't shut up" She warned with a deadly glare. Chae's smile immediately dropped and she gulped. She definitely crossed a border. This is Mr. Myoui's fault! She screamed in her head.


"I'm sorry princess. Are you okay?" Chaeyoung look genuinely worried. Mina's strength left her as she slumped to the floor. Chae immediately aid her to her side. Mina closed her eyes when fragment of memories started flashing on her mind.


She's trembling. Chae noticed it and knows exactly what is happening. She's been briefed about it from Sana. Having this kind of condition and being a Yakuza heiress is a risk. She held Mina's chin and slightly pulled it up her face her.


"Princess please look at me" Chaeyoung regret her every actions. Mina opened her eyes meeting Chae's worried ones.


"You're going to be okay princess please listen to my voice" Chae felt her heart pounding in panic too. She saw how a tear fall silently from the heiress's beautiful eyes and it somehow broke something inside her. The cub mentally slapped herself. She brushed the tear away and repeated the same words over and over again. She led her to her bed. Mina was so silent that it makes it more scary.


Lying on her bed, she starred silently in her ceiling. She already calmed down now. Chae sighed in relief.


"The next time you do that. I won't have a second thought of killing you" Her tone was dead and threatening. This time Chae reminded herself not to mess with a certain penguin. Mina turned around from Chae. Clearly giving the signal she don't like her there. Guess I just made things worse. Sighing to herself, she did left the room but later on returned with a tray in hand.


"Leave it. Go out." Mina's hostile reaction made her more worried for her safety now. Her voice was extra cold and her demeanor screams she is pissed.Chaeyoung bowed even if Mina can't see it and left the room once again. She's really sorry on what happened. She's not expecting it to be that worse.


Still frustrated by her actions, she returned to her room. How stupid she is to do such thing to the heiress. She decided to face time Dahyun and Tzuyu. The phone rang for a minute before a forehead was shown to the screen. Blonde? But neither the two has the color.


"Chaengie!" A shiba came to sight. Confused, she checked if she dialed the right number and it is.


"Where's Dahyun, unnie?" The girl didn't answered and seems to be thinking what to response. Before she could say a wprd, Dubu arrive with flushed cheeks and sleepy eyes. Dahyun sandwich Sana earning a shriek from the latter. The phone no longer matter.


Chaeyoung could only see the ceiling since Sana let go of the phone.


"Yah! Dubu! You're heavy!" She struggled. Chaeyoung could only listen to the shuffling and shouting of Sana.


"Unnie gib mi hug!!" Dahyun slurred. Sana couldn't do anything since Dahyun was squishing her.


"Unnie!! What's happening?" Chaeyoung, oblivious to the scene starting to feel worried. Sana tried to free herself from Dahyun. She successfully crawled up and get the phone she let go. Dahyun is drunk and clinging on her like a koala.


"Chaengie sorry. Dahyun here is drunk. I fetch the two of them from a club and seriously wasted when I came" The look of struggling to focus on the camera is evident to Sana.


"Mianhe unnie. Where's Tzuyu?" She could only feel sorry for Sana knowing how handful the two maknaes when drunk.


"She's sleeping already. You know what she did? She talked like a dog when she's drunk. I can't even understand her! It's so embarrassing when we're on our way home since she's howling like a crazy hormonal wolf. The people in the lobby look weirdly on us" She ranted. Chae could only imagine Tzuyu doing the crazy stunt. She herself saw it in person. How her drunk friends behavior was out of ordinary is still a mystery for her.


Dahyun is still hugging Sana's back and mumbling incoherent words. 


"Sorry for the work unnie. I owe you one" Hearing the voice Dahyun peeks to the phone.


"Don't worry about it-"


"uri Chaengie! How dir you leave us!" She slurred and started crying. Having drunk Dahyun was the most annoying moment Chae could have. The girl tends to get loud and hysterical.


"Dahyunie stop crying" Sana cooed the crying girl but the kid wasn't planning on stopping so soon. Poor Sana.


"I think I'll call back tomorrow when they're decent enough to talk unnie" She let out a sigh and Sana agreed. Chae mumbles her apologies to the older and ended the call. Those two trouble makers, how dare them drink without me. She thought.

Waking up early. Mina washed herself and decided to eat breakfast. A decent sleep wasn't bestowed on her. She's still grumpy because of the nightmares and the last thing she wanted to see is a certain midget who's now cooking in the kitchen. She mentally scolded herself for losing her cool in front of the little woman. She showed her weakness that was suppose to be staying as a secret. She's still annoyed and angry to the said cub.


Not wanting to destroy her morning further, she started to walk back in her room when the said assistant noticed her.


"Princess!" Chae called, earning a grunt from the heiress. She mentally rolled her eyes before turning to the said girl. Cold and dark aura present.


"What?" A deep tone with a hint of annoyance. Chae could only gulped to the sight still she gather her confidence and continued.


"I made you breakfast" she hesitated. Mina could only scoff.


"Throw it, I'm not hungry." But her stomach seems to say otherwise. A growl came that she mentally cuss to all devils why in such a moment came.


"I don't think so princess. I'm sorry for yesterday I know you're still mad and I beg for your forgiveness princess" Sincerity in her tone. Mina stared for a minute contemplating to agree or not. The tiger gave a puppy eyes to the cold lady. In the end her stomach won.


"Serve it in the dining. That better be good or you'll be the one I'll eat" She warned, knowing about the double meaning on it. But the innocent cub was oblivious enough to only smile. She cheered and proceed to do what was ordered.


"Guess I'll need more ketchup" She mumbled to herself. Knowing the princess's favorites and dislikes. The allergic foods she must avoid and so on.


She should thank Sana later on if the latter is still alive from Dahyun's drunk tantrums. Hoping the day could be better, she happily serve the food for her dear princess.
