"Noona, where did these come from?" I asked but she lowered her gaze and said,
"Please don't call me that, master. I'm but a servant in this household." She said and I paused.
Right, they were like this.
Then, could I at least call them by their names? I was tired of having to address them as the maid did this and the maid did that.
Plus, I see this one around a lot. She helps with my bathing, with my dressing, and all that other minor stuff. It wouldn't hurt to at least know her name.
"Then, should I just call you by your name?" I asked. "What's your name? You'll at least tell me that, right?"
"My name..." She seemed to get lost for a moment but then shook her head and said, "Please, call me whatever you wish."
I sighed. She was such a stubborn one. Well, it's not like I expected anything less.
"Okay, then I'll just call you April." I said to her and she felt stunned for a moment. Why? Was it that important?
