Today is another day, another day of never ending work

Another day for fake smiles and greetings

Another day of signing piles and piles of contracts

Another day for a lonely ass person like me

I am Jennie Kim, a person born to empress the world. I'm just a person not a human. I never tried things out of my comfort zone because cameras are watching me everywhere

Every little thing I do is always posted on the internet for gossips

"Goodmorning, smile a little will you?" Jisoo my secretary slash bestfriend greeted me as she pulled on my driveway

"Don't you have any other line?" I asked

Ever since my past secretary quit, Jisoo offered to be my secretary though her family is almost as rich as mine, she was far from me

She was happy but I am not

Simple as that

"Hop in" she said and I opened the door and went inside

"Your mom is at your office" Jisoo said

My mom was nothing like a mother. She only cared about her reputation and the company's reputation

I never even tasted her cooking since the maid always cooked for us. If not, then we'll eat at a fancy classy restaurant

"Plus your dad" Jisoo said

My dad was a father to me until I become the CEO of the company

He was the one who taught me how to ride a horse and he also taught me that happiness should be on top of everything

But nothing happened with her sermon. If happiness should be on top of everything then I should be happy by now but no

"And your most beloved suitor"

My suitor Kai, he has been my suitor for almost a year now but I never wanted to have relationship with him

But being a 'perfect person' they want me to be, I'm pretty sure not long after they will be announcing my engagement soon

"Great, all my contradictors are there" I said as I secure the seatbelt around me

"They won't give you a break, would they?" Jisoo said as she drive her way to my company

"Lisa, wake your ass up!" Rosé my roommate slash bestfriend shakes me so hard that i thought there was no tomorrow

"5 more minutes" I whined  

"You'll end up dropping your class again" She said

I'm 25 years old and I'll be graduating my college degree in 2 months more if I'll survive it.

"My shift sucks" I complained

Yes, I am a working student. My family is not rich nor poor, I just don't want to rely on mom too much since dad left us. Plus, I've been saving up for the loan of the house that I bought for myself at the forest

"Well, you chose to be a working student so deal with it" Rosé said

"I'm so tired!" I exclaimed as I went to the bathroom to prepare for my class

I have arrived at my school and parked my sports bike at the parking, removing my helmet I spot my obsessed ex-girlfriend 

"Lisa" Seulgi called out "are you free tonight?" she asked

"No" I replied coldly

I broke up with her because one time I found her on someone else's bed

Thankfully not a minute after our interaction Rosé car's pulled up in the parking

"Gotta go" I said to Seulgi

"What a way to start your morning" Rosé joked as she went out her car

"Whatever" I said. The bell rang indicating that we needed to get to our class

---

Today and tomorrow was my day off from work. So I plan on spending my night at my  house near the forests

The university bell rings, telling everyone that it's time to go home. It's 7:30 pm now and my last subject just got done

I hopped on my bike and went my way through the roads

After 45 minutes of riding, I arrived at my small house

But the front window was shattered and it looks like someone was inside

But the front window was shattered and it looks like someone was inside. I prepared myself in case i needed to defend myself

I went inside careful not to make any noise and I was greeted with the back of a woman around her late 20's

She looks harmless so I spoke

"What are you doing here?" I asked and I saw her stiffen

I went my way towards her and spun her around grabbing both of her shoulders

When I got a good look on her face, my heartbeat started racing faster and faster

But I met her eyes and I knew that look because I've been like that before

Broken, sad and lifeless

"I'm sorry, I'll pay for what I've done" she said and averted her eyes to the floor

"You look like you've just finished crying" I said as I removed my hoodie and put it on her

She was just wearing a white shirt tucked on a dark blue slacks

After I got a good view of her wearing my hoodie, I looked around and saw some of my painkiller, antibiotics laying on the sink, seems like she was planning something earlier

"Don't mind me" she said as she push me aside and started walking towards the door

Before she can even turn the knob I grabbed her wrist and spun her pulled her to me so she was flushed to me

She was trying to protest at first but i held her firm, after a while she stopped fighting and started to sob

"I don't even know you" She said between her cries

"They say that it's better if you talk to someone that is just a stranger, there are no judgement" I replied "but I do want to know your name" I continued

She pulled away from the embrace and looked at me, her gaze went to my lips before going back at my eyes

"Jennie Kim" she said and I smiled

"Lisa Manoban" I replied
