"Huh?!" Yumi was almost speechless!
Jin just winked and then he walks away.
Yumi can feel her cheek heated,
"Huh?!" Yuhan knitted his brows when he saw his sister's red face.
"Sister Yumi why your face is so red?" He asked innocently.
"Are you sick?" He added.
"Huh?!"
Yumi looked down at Yuhan, " N-No, sister Yumi is not sick," She replied.
" It's just so hot here!" She added as she headed inside the house while fanning her self with her hand.
--------
Jin heaved a sigh of relief when he reached the servant's quarter.
He stopped on his bedroom door and sighs,
He didn't know where he got his courage to blurt out those words to the Young Miss!'
He was just thinking about how pretty she is especially when she smiles but he unconsciously blurts it out!
'She didn't get mad because of it, did she?' Jin asked himself, he felt like he wants to bump his head on the door at this moment!
'There's nothing wrong with what I said, right?'
Jin is like a crazy who keeps talking to himself!
'Dude! You even winked at her!'
'Ugh!' Jin held his head as he remembered it, 'Why did I do that?'
'The two of us might feel awkward because of my actions!'
'Ugh! Jin you are not thinking before doing something!'
'Where is your mind dude?! You seem to forget everything whether Yumi is around!'
--------
"Aaahhhh!!" Yumi shouted as she dived into her bed while giggling!
She can't help it!
She felt like someone tickled her heart when she remembers Jin's words earlier!
'I don't need a thank you gift. A sweet smile from you is enough, Young Miss,'
"Ayeee!" Yumi rolled in her bed as she hugged a pillow!
'He even winked at me---'
Yumi froze...
She then raised her body from her bed, "Wait, why am I doing?" She asked her self.
"Why am I feeling like this?"
"Why his words made me happy?"
Yumi blinks her eyes a few times.
'What is going on with me?'
She doesn't really understand her self!
Her day lightens up every time she sees Jin.
Her heart flutters every time she sees him!
'Why?'
Yumi is naive when it comes to love, so she didn't realize that she is already falling for Jin!
--------
It was afternoon, Alicia came home from work earlier than usual. She did not wait for Dimitry because he is having a meeting with some business partners.
Alicia went to the balcony to catch some fresh air. She saw Yumi standing near the railings while facing the garden. She seems to be in deep thought, she didn't even notice her!
Alicia looked at the garden to check what could be Yumi looking at.
There, she saw Jin cutting and pulling the weeds in the garden.
Alicia secretly studied Yumi and a realization came into her mind!
"Ehem!" Alicia pretended to clear her throat to catch Yumi's attention.
"Omo!"
Yumi instantly turned back when she heard a noise from behind her!
"Hey!" Alicia greeted Yumi as soon as she turned, but Yumi frowned.
"I'm sorry if I interrupted you, " Alicia apologized.
Yumi did not answer, she just walked past Alicia, but Alicia called her.
"Yumi!"
Yumi stopped in her track, but she did not turn to Alicia.
"I'm sorry for what happened the last time we talked, " She said.
"I didn't mean to do it, " She added.
"The damage has been done, " Yumi replied without turning to Alicia.
"I know, I know, " Alicia said.
"But Yumi, I am asking you to please, stop blaming me to what happened a---"
"Don't ever try to remind it to me!" Yumi cut Alicia's word.
"I-I'm sorry, " She apologized.
"I won't mention it again, " She added.
Yum did not reply.
"Yumi, I know it's hard for you to accept me, but at least, give me even just one percent of chance, " Alicia said. "Including Yuhan, " She added.
Alicia has been dreaming of having a happy family because she never had one when she was young. She was so happy when she got pregnant with Yuhan, she thought that she's going to have the kind of family that she's dreaming of but everything went down when Yuhan's father didn't stand for her!
Now that she has the second chance of building a family that she wants, she will do everything just to make it happen!
Alicia waited for Yumi to answer.
This time Yumi turned to Alicia.
"Yuhan has nothing to do with your mistake, I can spare him and give him a chance, but for you..." Yumi paused as she looked at Alicia straight to the eyes and spoke, " I doubt, "
Alicia pressed her lips,
Yumi turned and left the balcony.
Alicia's lonely gaze just followed Yumi.
---------
The servants in the kitchen are watching Yumi who is now putting an icing on the cupcake that she just baked.
Yumi's smile did not fade since she started baking all the way until she finishes baking.
"It's a relief that the Young Miss bakes again even if she failed to bake delicious cookies the last time," The first servant whispered to the other servant.
"Do you think, this is the sign that the Young Miss is getting back to her old self?" She added.
"I hope so," The second servant replied.
"I wonder what makes her decide to bake again?"
"I don't know either, but by the looks of it, the Young Miss seems to be in a good mood these past few days, maybe that's the reason why," The second servant replied.
But then, she stared at the Young Miss, she noticed that the Young Miss is not just in a good mood, there's more!
She seems... Inspired!
"Perfect!"
The two servants stopped chatting when they heard Yumi suddenly spoke!
Yumi's smile widened as she looked at the cupcake that she made.
She took a saucer and put the cupcake on it and then she brought it outside.
The two servants secretly followed Yumi, they want to know where will she bring the cupcake!
They saw the Young Miss headed to the garden.
"Jin!"
Jin stopped trimming the plants when he heard Yumi's voice and he turned his head into her direction.
Yumi is walking closer to him, she is holding a saucer with a cupcake.
Yumi is still wearing her messy apron and she still has dust of flour in her face.
"I made some cupcake for you," Yumi said as soon as she approaches Jin.
"Would you like to try it?" She offered.
Jin looked at the cupcake, and then he looked at Yumi doubtfully.
"Are you sure it tastes like a cupcake?" He joked.
Yumi pouted her lips which made her looked more cute, " Are you trying to tease me?!" She asked in annoyance.
Jin smiled, "No, My Young Miss," he said.
" I just want to make you smile, but it seems like I don't have the sense of humor," He added.
"Tsss..." Yumi scoffed.
"Are you going to try this or not?" Yumi asked in a warning tone.
"Alright, Alright,"
"I'm going to try it," Jin replied.
He put down the gardening tool that he is holding and he was about to pick up the cupcake but he realized that his hands are dirty.
"Oh!" He blurted out.
"Why?" Yumi asked.
"My hands are dirty," He replied.
"Nah! That's not a problem!" Yumi said.
"Let me feed you!" She said as she picks up the cupcake on the saucer.
