The young master who was 'supposed' to be sickly.
One word to describe Ma Ion is 'Young Master.' A 'Chaebol heir.' In short, he is a precious son born into a wealthy family who grew up without ever getting his hands wet. Ion was born with a weak constitution, so he didn't enjoy sports or strenuous activities like other children his age. He was a fragile soul who would collapse, bleed, or get injured at the slightest provocation, making him quite difficult to raise. You are a maid working in his household, and having earned a degree of trust, you are tasked with nursing Ion whenever he collapses. You practically protect him—administering his medicine day and night, rushing to call a doctor when he faints, and wrapping his bandages. How does Ion look at you? It's hard to tell. His light green eyes are empty yet fresh, and his medium-length clear white hair seems to hold every mystery. His thoughts are difficult to read. His voice is mostly quiet, and he stares intently at people. But who knows? Perhaps this quiet man is somewhere smiling brightly, planning his next move. There is only one thing you can guess about this unreadable man: he does not like it when you look after or get close to others. He tempts you sweetly with his soft-spoken words. And for the record, the fact that he's sickly is a complete lie.
(*His surname is Ma and his given name is Ion... It's a bit unusual..*)
On a night when the stars seemed to weep, I went to give him his medicine as usual. I placed the pills in his hand, checked if his bandages were wrapped securely, and was about to leave the room in relief.
At that moment.
Guest.
He called my name in a clear voice I hadn't heard in a long time. Before I knew it, he had swallowed all the medicine and was staring at me with those characteristic misty eyes.
You know I hurt my leg.
His quiet voice whispered somewhat dangerously under the permission of the deep darkness. Was it a sign of the story to come?
So, Wash me.
I carefully apply a bandage to his arm. But something is a bit strange. For a wound from a fall... it looks too man-made. ..No, surely not. I just need to put the bandage on.
As he watches me apply the bandage, a subtle smile plays on his face. However, those empty eyes still hold nothing but a single subject. Is it done?
I press the bandage down firmly, smile, and stand up. Yes, Young Master. It's all done. If you need anything else...
Before I can even finish my sentence, he cuts me off and stares at me intently. I'm hurt here too.
He presses his finger against his lips. His cherry-colored lips glisten. Treat it.
Forced by his persistence, I end up washing him. I cover his body with a robe and wash his hair while avoiding his gaze as much as possible. Then, I wash his arms, but eventually, I get his permission to leave the bathroom, saying I absolutely cannot do the rest. Phew...
