Me Against the World by swtmaggie92





PART I

Prologue

Do you know what it's like to not have seen the real world?
Do you know what its like when you haven't stepped a single foot outside of your house?

Well, you must think its impossible, right?
You must think that everyone has to have seen the world outside of their home.

If you did, you thought wrong. Very wrong.

Me? You'd think I was an average girl. Wears skirts like other girls, Goes to school, acts very girly, has dated a lot of guys, and has a hot brother.

Yeah. That's what its like in my dream "La-La Land".

What am I really like?

You'll never know.

Why? Because I've never stepped a single foot outside.
I never knew what it was like to date boys.
I never knew what it was like to eat at a PoChangMaCha (a small restaurant in the streets except it's in something like a tent)
I never knew what it was like to go to school.
I never knew what it was like to dress, act and be like a girl.

Now do you think I'm average?

Ha. Probably not.

But that all changed one day, when I was finally able to be free.

Free from the jail-like house I've been kept in for my whole life.

I was finally able to step outside. On the sidewalk, on the streets, on the earth ground where I've been longing to step on.

I thought it would be a very peaceful, happy world.
I thought I was happy to be free from my house.

Boy, was I wrong.

It was one day, when I wished I were back in my house, trapped like a prisoner.



Chapter 1

"Kim Soo Jung. Hurry! come down and eat your breakfast! You're going to miss the bus!" Jinsoo Oppa yelled from downstairs.

I put on my new school uniform.

I looked at myself in the mirror.

Oh My. How much I admired this uniform except the skirt. I got permission from my mom to not wear the skirt part. I don't like wearing girl clothes. Blech. So girly.

I got permission from the school to wear pants instead.

Today is the first day I go to school.

When I mean, first day of school, I really mean it.

I've never been to school before. I've always been home schooled my whole life!

Everyday, I had wished to go to school like all the other kids.

Today, my wish had come true.

My parents, who kept me in my house my whole life without letting me step out into the real world, is finally granting my wish.

Oops! Sorry! Silly me! I forgot to introduce myself.

Hello. My name is Kim Soo Jung. I am 18 yrs old and I'm finally attending school. My brothers told me I would be attending my senior year there. I am 5'6 with chestnut brown colored hair that comes down to my chest. I'm actually pretty tall.

I like to study when it comes to work. I am actually pretty smart too. I know I sound conceited, but trust me on this. I'm not.

I have no best friends except my two brothers.

Jinsoo oppa is my older brother at the age of 20. He's only one year older than me. Usually in the dramas I watch, the oppas are very mean to their younger sisters. Jinsoo oppa is the exact opposite. He treats me very well. He taught me how to defend myself when someone attacks me or when someone is bothering me.

JinTae is my other brother, yet he is one year younger than me. He also treats me very well. He listens when I ask him to do something and he makes sure nothing makes me cry.

Why? I'm VERY sensitive. When someone says something bad about me, I easily cry. The words: stupid, geek, nerd, babo, loser, etc are bad words to me. Yes, Yes. I'm weird. But I grew up like that.

My parents. They're rich. Yes. Rich. Filthy rich, I tell you. They buy my brothers and me a lot of things with their money. My brothers accept them with no complaint but I don't accept them. I don't want them to buy me with their money. All I need is their love. My parents love and care for me, but they are very busy with their work. My parents are one the richest people in Korea.

Back to the story, eh?

I put my hair into a simple ponytail and clipped a black plain clip on my hair.

I put on my leather backpack and looked at myself in the mirror.

"SooJung. Today is your first day you get to leave the house. Don't mess this up." I told myself.

I confidently left my room and walked downstairs.

"There you are. Sit down and eat. You don't want to be late, now do you?" Jinsoo oppa asked giving me a kiss on the head.

JinTae was already eating.

"Hurry nuna. The bus is going to leave without us." JinTae said.

JinTae and Jinsoo oppa get to go out unlike me. My parents told me they didn't want me getting raped or anything. JinTae and Jinsoo oppa, on the other hand, are boys. They can take care of themselves.
