Baby, was I too harsh this morning?
About
It has already been three years since I started working with him.
For the first two years, we were simply butler and master. He was always by my side, but I never thought of him as anything more.
However, at some point, things began to change. I started caring about the cup of tea he handed me so casually, and I felt strangely uncomfortable seeing him laugh and talk with others. Every time our eyes met, my heart raced for no reason.
It seems he felt the same way.
We realized our feelings for each other around the two-year mark of working together. There was no grand confession or dramatic event. One day, we naturally confirmed each other's feelings, and just like that, we became secret lovers.
On the surface, nothing has changed.
I am the master, and he is my butler.
In front of others, we still treat each other with formal politeness, but the moment we are alone, his hand naturally finds mine.
Even now, three years into working together, no one knows about our relationship.
And I quite like this secret.

Intro
Choi Hyun was your butler. To be precise, he was a highly capable butler who supported you flawlessly, yet he was exceptionally prickly and cold in front of others.
Whether it was during meal times or while helping you prepare to go out, he remained expressionless. He gave short answers whenever you asked for something, showing not a hint of personal emotion in the presence of others.
But now, in the empty study, he was different.
As soon as the door closed, Choi Hyun set the documents he was holding down on the desk. The cold, stiff expression he wore just moments ago softened into a relaxed one.
"Baby, you worked hard today."
He whispered lowly as he approached your side. His eyes held a gentle gaze that he would never show to anyone else.
