Work Text:
Today is my first day working for the Oak family, specifically as the leaderㅡ Mr. Sunday's assistant. I know a few things about his personality, and one of it being "distant." Oh, I just hope I made a good impression.
As I arrived at the Dewlight Pavilion, they told me to just knock to his piano room. Is it even polite to do that?
I knocked anyways, and he told me to come in. This is the very first time I heard his voice not from the media. It looks like he was just done playing with his piano, I don't know though.
With all formality, I introduced myself. I told him my name, and how I was glad to be accepted here. I smiled, but he doesn't even shake my hand... well, what was I hoping for?
He walked towards the door and opens it, and he looked at me. Was he asking me to leave? am I fired??? Wait, I need mone-
"Just.. go to my office please. I believe the butler had told you where's the place. I'll catch up later."
..Thank God I wasn't fired.
First day of work wasn't so bad, I'm glad they didn't give me much pressure. But I saw his desk is still full of papers, why don't he gave some to me? I mean, that's what I'm literally paid for.
"Sir.. I could help you-"
"No need."
..This is my first time hearing someone doesn't wanna be helped on paperworks. It's not like I'll ruin it anyway..
"Well then would you like some coffee? or tea? or-"
"No need, just go home. Your shift is over for today."
Not gonna lie I wish I could spend more time with him, but the bed in my bedroom is more tempting.
"..Goodnight, sir."
"Night."

As the days passed, I tried talking to him about everything, work, fun facts, fun facts about work.. but he always seemed not interested. Though, it hurts me because I liked his voice.
I'm just happy that he at least listened, even when he's probably telling me to shut up in his mind. Does he even know that I'm hopelessly captivated?
I noticed it since the day I met him, my heart wasn't beating the way it was. What's a girl to do, though? But it hurts to know that my feelings would probably be one-sided. Afterall, I'm just his assistant. But I'm happy I could still be close to him, even when only I feel the sparks.
He was being nice, tho, not overworking me or bringing me down. Or maybe I was just so infatuated that everything he does is admirable.
But these days, I noticed him responding a little to my words. It felt like he finally saw me. His eyes are so beautiful, by the way.
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
"You know, I really like walking along the streets of Penacony and looking at the sky. It's really beautiful, honestly I think it's even more beautiful if you walked with your partner..." I honestly don't know why I said that last part, but hey, yapping is not a bad thing, right?
"Is that your hobby? walking?" ..He responded. He asked. My heart have never beaten this fast.
"Umm- yeah.. I know it's pretty boring, but it's healthy! ..What about you, sir, do you have any hobby? besides playing the piano, of course."
"...I like watching movies, not the cheesy ones, of course." Oh, is he finally opening up to me?
"But besides walking, I like shopping too. Especially clothings..."
"And why is that?"
"I don't know.. I just like it when my eyes landed on pretty dresses."
"You're seriously saying that?"
"Why? I think they all looked good on me."
"...I could see that."
As he said that, I was screaming inside. This is the best day of my life. Ever.

"Hey! Why are they so stupid? Where's their common sense!?"
He asked me to watch a movie with him tonight, and honestly this was probably the most embarassing impression of me. But really, that movie was interesting.. the plot, the characters.. I don't even know whether my expressions made him cringed or not, all I know is that he stared at me for too long, but I pretend I didn't notice that.
"..Seems like you're so invested."
"I rarely watch movies with this genres.."
"Then, what do you like to watch?"
"Romance, comedy.. or horror-comedy.."
"..As expected."

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like we're getting closer. Or it's just my delusion. But really, yesterday, after we watched a movie together, it was like something possessed me to ask him to dance with him. In an EMPTY ballroom. I hope he doesn't think I'm weird. He probably doesn't, because he ended up dancing with me. He's a very good dancer, one that wouldn't step on your feet.
I also talked about how I wanted a llama-shaped plushie.. I must be drunk from the champagne that was served in the movie room. But he was so majestic, I couldn't help but admires his features.
There was a lot happening that night, and I think this is the first time he actually talked longer than he usually did. It's even more attractive, the way he explained everything.
I just wished I could hear him laugh loudly someday.

We were watching movies again, and I talked to him about a movie that was so trash I should tell everyone about it.
"That movie was so bad, I don't even know why people said it was good. Maybe the acting was but the plot? I'd rather listen to someone explaining maths."
"..You sure really hate that."
"But really, when I saw that movie it was really horrible! How could someone even-" I paused, as I saw his beautiful golden-violet eyes staring at me. Was he annoyed?
"Sorry, I talked too much don't I?"
"No, it's fine. Go ahead."
And then I continue talking, as if he was my best friend.
I caught him smiling for a split second, I don't know if it was because of the scene on the movie or me.

I woke up earlier today, for today is the most anticipated day.
It's my birthday, my friends and families are here.. except one. I didn't know what was in my mind when I decided to invite him. We were just co-workers anyway, why would I wish for something more? He could've had any woman he wants, why would he want me?
And the door bell suddenly rings, and when my friend opened the door, it was him. With a present in his hand.
"Happy Birthday," as he placed his gift on the gift-table.
After I blew the candle, it was gift-opening session. I unboxed one by one, until it was his.
"..Thanks for coming by the way,"
He nods, and giving a sign that I should open the gift.
Both my eyes and mouth widens as I saw what's inside. It was the llama-shaped plushie that I wanted. I don't even remember telling him about this. He was smiling, SMILING, at me..
Does he even aware of the effects he had on me? No, I know he doesn't. But I love him anyways. I just wished he was mine.
This was probably the best birthday I've ever had in my life.

The moon was visible after I accompany him on some meeting with his guest. It was so beautiful, how the moonlight shines in the dark.
I stood in the balcony with him, just breathing the fresh air.
"Mr. Sunday, do you think the sun admires the moon?"
"Perhaps, just like the way I admire you."
My expression changes. I wasn't expecting him to say that. I know he was a sarcastic type of person, so I thought he was being sarcastic too.
"That was a good one." I say as I chuckles.
"I was being for real, I admire you. Since you stepped your feet in the piano room, I could feel how radiant you are. I thought you were the sun, but as I get to know you, you were calming, comforting, and so breathtaking, just like the moon."
"..Mr. Sunday.."
"Just Sunday, please."
"M- Sunday.. I don't.. understand.."
He chuckles, and then he says "I'm in love with you. Now I know. My heart aches everytime I saw you smiling, like some weird feelings were inside me everytime you laugh. I couldn't help but notice and remembers everything about you. I heard, seen, and understood you. And I want it to always be like that. I love you, and I always will."
"But how? I'm not perfect, I'm just your assistant and I.. don't deserve you.."
"Why do you think that way? No one is perfect, you, me, everyone else.. but you at least, you are the closest thing to perfection for me. ..So, would you take a chance with me?"
She knew the answer to that, and under the bright moonlight, their lips met like it was meant to be.
"Please don't leave me."
But how could I ever leave him? All I want to do is stay here with him, and disregard the world.
