Jin was hesitant for a moment which Yumi noticed.
Yumi rolled her eyes, "Don't worry, my hand is clean!" She said.
"Ah!" She gestured Jin to open his mouth.
Jin opens his mouth and took a bite of the cupcake.
Yumi watches Jin's reaction.
"How is it?"
"Is it good?" She asked.
It took a moment before Jin was able to speak,
"What?" Yumi waited eagerly until...
"This tastes so good!" Jin exclaimed!
"Really?!" Yumi asked in excitement.
"Ennn..." Jin nodded his head.
"It is fluffy, but it melts in my mouth, and the sweetness is just so right!" Jin explained.
"Oh," Yumi blurted out as she touched her chest, "That's a relief," She said, and then she feeds Jin again.
Jin continued to eat until he finishes the cupcake.
Yumi was about to put down her hand when Jin is done, but Jin stopped her.
"Wait!" He said as he held her wrist and without saying a word he licked the icing that's on Yumi's finger!
Yumi secretly gasped!
She was stunned by Jin's action!
Her heart beats faster!
She felt like someone has tickled her inside when she felt Jin's tongue touched her finger!
Yumi gulped!
Jin froze when he realized his action, " Oh, I'm sorry," He apologized.
"It's just so good and I don't want to waste even a little bit of it,"
"Oh!" It's the only word that came from Yumi's mouth!
Jin just smiled.

Meanwhile,
The servants who are secretly watching Yumi and Jin gasp!
"Omo! Now I know why she looked so different!" The second servant said.
"What do you mean?" The first servant asked as she looked at the first servant.
"Can't you tell why the Young Miss seems to look different?"
"She even looked happy these past few days!"
"There's a reason for everything!"
"Why do you think so?" The first servant asks.
"Just look at how those two young people looked at each other?"
"Why do you the Young Miss brought a cupcake for Jin?"
"Omo!" The first servant's expression was stunned!
"Are you saying that the Young Miss might have a special feeling for Jin?!"
"Yes! And likewise!"
"You mean... The two of them liked each other?!"
"Exactly!"
"Omo! What if the Master of the house would know this?"
"Do you think he will allow it?"
"I don't know either,"

Jin had just done taking a bath and is now drying his hair with a towel.
Jin remembers what happened this afternoon, the Young Mis made a cupcake for him and she even feeds him!
Jin can't help but smile, just then the door opened and his mother entered the bedroom.
"Son, " Adelfa called her son.
"Mom," Jin turned his head to his mother.
"Can we talk?" She asked.
"Sure!" Jin replied, " What is it about?" He asked.
Adelfa sat on the bed, she gestured Jin to sat beside her which is he did.
"I heard the Young Miss made a cupcake for you," Adelfa said.
"Uh, why?"
"Is there something wrong with that?" He asked.
Adelfa revealed a faint smile, but there are also worries in her eyes.
" Son, It is good that you and the Young Miss are getting along with each other, but..." Adelfa paused for a moment, " You should never forget that she the Young Miss of this family, she is the only heiress. You should not go over the line, son."
"I know you understand what I meant to say, whatever especial feelings you have inside for the Young Miss, you must forget it as early as you can before you break your heart," Adelfa added.
Jin's happy thoughts slowly faded.
He lowered his head.
His Mom is telling him to know his place to the Young Miss's life.
Yeah, how could I forget about that?
I am just a servant and she is the Young Miss!
He knows his mom just wants him to be spared from heartache.
Even if he has special feelings for the Young Miss, he can't guarantee that the Young Miss would like him back!
Even if she likes him back, it would be impossible for them to be together because they were like heaven and earth!
He is poor and she is rich!
He is too stupid to believe in his fantasy to be with the Young Miss someday!
Good thing, his mom is here to wake him up from his daydreams!

Dimitry is taking off his business suit inside their bedroom when Alicia spoke, "I heard that Yumi baked again." She said.
Dimitry froze when he heard his wife, it took him a few seconds before he was able to speak, " Really?"
"I heard it from the servants," Alicia said.
"That's a good thing," Dimitry turned to his wife.
"This means that she is trying to get back to her old self back," He added.
"I think... There is something that makes her feel inspired these past few days and that makes her decides to bake," Alicia spoke again.
Dimitry stared at his wife, "What do you mean?" He asked with his knitted brows.
Alicia looked at his husband, " Yumi is on her adolescence period, it is the stage that they started to like someone,"
"You mean...Yumi has someone she likes?"
Alicia just smiled, " It's normal, you also experience this stage of your life,"
"You should be attentive to your daughter, especially when times like this which she needs someone to talk to heart to heart. You know I can't do that to her because she doesn't want me to be around her,"
"Uh," Dimitry blurted out,
"Hurry up so that we can have dinner together," Alicia cut their conversation.
---------
Yumi waited for Jin in the study room after dinner, they have to continue the tutorial until the fourth quarter exam.
Fifteen minutes have past but Jin hasn't come yet.
Yumi looked at the wall clock, " What took him so long?"
"Did he forget that we still have to continue the tutorial?" Yumi mumbled.
'Ah, maybe he is just busy helping the other servants,' Yumi answered her own question.
Yumi waited for another fifteen minutes but Jin hasn't come yet.
This is the time that she decided to go to the servant's quarter.
Yumi was about to knock on the door when it suddenly opened and revealed Jin!
Yumi couldn't help but smile, " Ya! You're already thirty minutes late!" She complained while pouting.
"I'm sorry, Young Miss, I just have to finish something here, " Jin replied plainly which Yumi noticed.
"Hey, what happened?"
"Are you not feeling well?" Yumi asked as she lifted her hand to check Jin's forehead, but before her hand could land on him, he already grabbed it away from him!
Yumi was a bit stunned with Jin's behavior!
"Why?"
"What's wrong?" Yumi asked in confusion.
They were fine just this afternoon, she baked cupcake for him, she even feeds him, but why he's acting like this?
He's been cold!
"I'm fine, you must not show too much concern for me, Young Miss, the people around us might misunderstand your actions, " Jin said and then he walks to the study room.
Yumi doesn't like Jin's attitude towards her just now, she followed him to the study room.
"Ya! What wrong with you?!" She asked as soon as they entered the study room.
Jin stopped in his track, he turned to Yumi and said, "Nothing," with his plain expression.
"Nothing?"
"Do you think I am too stupid?!"
"We were fine just this afternoon, then why are you acting so cold to me now?!" Yumi asked in resentment.
"Isn't this how we use to treat each other from the start, Young Miss?" Jin asked back.
"Why?"
"Did I did something that makes you upset?" Yumi asked, her tears started to fill her eyes.
She felt hurt to be treated by him like this!
She thought they can get along with each other but why did he suddenly change?
"You did nothing wrong, Young Miss, it's just that, I should treat you the way I should,"
Yumi balled her hands, "Is this how you suppose to treat me?"
"A cold treatment?"
"I am not being cold..."
"Stop that bullsh*t! I am not that dumb!" She yelled and then she left the study room enraged!
Loneliness started to form on Jin's eyes.
'If you only know how I wanted to be close to you, but I should know where to place my self in your life," He said inside.
