After school, Kai and Ruby walked home together. As soon as they arrived, Kai said with a smirk,
"Clean the house and cook the food within an hour."
Ruby frowned. "I can't finish everything in just one hour."
Kai chuckled coldly. "My dear girlfriend, you can't just sit around doing nothing. I don't want my maid to be lazy."
Anger flared in Ruby's eyes, but she began cleaning anyway. It took her two hours to finish.
Kai looked around. "Better than my last maid. Nice work."
Ruby responded, "I'll go make food now."
Kai shook his head. "Forget it. I lost my appetite. Go clean the bathroom instead."
Ruby snapped, "No, I won't do that!"
Kai's voice turned firm. "You will. You work here. And don't forget—we have a secret relationship."
Ruby sighed. "Fine. But this is the last time I'm cleaning the bathroom."
Later, exhausted, Ruby fell asleep on the couch. When Kai came home and saw her sleeping, he walked closer, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "I wish you knew me..."
Suddenly, Ruby woke up. Kai stared into her eyes and said, "You can leave now."
Ruby was confused. "Alright... I'll go."
She left the house, and Kai paced nervously, muttering to himself, "Did she hear me? I hope not."
At home, Ruby lay in bed thinking, "Kai protects me, but sometimes he acts so strange. Like this morning, why was he staring at me like that?"
She sighed. "Whatever, I'm tired. I'll sleep now."
The next day was Saturday—no school. Ruby cleaned the house until noon and then said, "I'm going to the amusement park." She got ready and left.
After about an hour, while walking through the park, Ruby spotted Kai. She also noticed her school friends nearby. Quickly, she ran to Kai and grabbed his hand.
"My boyfriend! Let's go get that toy!" she said cheerfully.
Kai was caught off guard. "What are you doing? This isn't school."
Ruby subtly pointed to her friends. "Come on, win me that toy!"
Realizing what was happening, Kai played along. He took her hand and asked, "Which one do you want?"
She pointed. "That one!"
He won it for her.
Ruby's friends watched from afar. "Wow, look at her! She's having fun with him?"
Ruby grinned. "I'm Ruby. I've got plans tomorrow."
Later, after her friends left, Kai and Ruby found a quiet corner. Standing close together, Ruby thought he might kiss her. But instead, Kai leaned in and whispered,
"This toy is just like you."
Ruby blushed deeply. "Take the money for it. Thanks... for today."
Kai shook his head. "I bought it for you as a gift. I don't want anything in return."
He smiled. "See you at school. Goodbye."
After he left, Ruby stood there, cheeks burning. "Ugh, I'll never trust my brain again!"
