🍭🔥 Little Bird (PJM)

Money can't bring happiness but it can bring all kinds of luxuries. Money also brings responsibilities and sleepless nights.

You wouldn't be able to tell though, that Kim Baram ever had sleepless nights. She had the flawless glass skin without a single blemish, her small face a dream of every girl. She had sharp eyes, perfectly pointed nose and equally alluring lips. She was what people would consider, The Campus Goddess.

Accompanied with her bodyguard all the time, she had a dark, intimidating aura around her. People hardly saw her smile genuinely and if she did smile, it wasn't a pretty sight. The girl was extremely cold.

Her dark straight hair were always styled perfectly, her expensive clothes, shoes and a matching bag for every outfit, an example of her rich background. She was the heir of one of the country's most influential company. The sole heiress.

Everyone saw the riches, the grand parties and luxury but no one saw what lay behind that saccharine smile.

Fake it till you make it, her mother had taught Baram at a very young age. She had successfully perfected her pretty smile which even she had started to think, was her true smile.

But somehow the students in the university saw right through the fakeness. What they didn't see, was how lonely she was.

Baram was sick of being told who to befriend. She had cried too much when one her first genuine friend, who coincidentally happened to be a girl from a middle class family, was told to keep distance from Kim Baram. Baram had thrown a tantrum, something very unusual for a small girl with everything she could ask for, according to her parents.

Her punishment was, she never saw her friend again.

Since then she refrained from making friends. Soon, she was labelled antisocial as she only kept to her books.

Still, she longed to feel as if she belonged to someone. She longed for a friend, a lover, a true family. She longed to feel all those emotions that the characters in the romance novels, she sneaked in the dead of night, felt. She longed to fly.

It was once again a new day, the same routine. Baram was studying business for obvious reasons and was in the first year of college. Having been home tutored, she had been quite excited to go to the college and experience new things but then her parents had warned her, "Study hard, you need to become capable enough to handle the company. No distractions will be allowed."

She was once again, all alone. She was once again walking with her head up, eyes down through the corridors followed by her bodyguard and being praised for her beauty and cursed for having so much money and yet being so arrogant.

All she wanted to do was escape....

5 pm. Finally, the end of day. The students all happily started exiting the campus, some hungry, some going to the karaoke for some fun. Some just tired and longing to sleep.

Even though it was time to leave, Baram didn't want to. She walked slowly through the campus, watching everyone smiling and enjoying with their friends. It hurt to watch but she still did, wondering if their happiness could somehow transfer into her.

As she walked, her feet took her to the auditorium. There was no one infront of it but she could hear music coming from inside.

Curious, she pushed the door slowly...
"Miss, we should get going." The bodyguard's voice stops her from opening the door. Baram turns around and though she doesn't like it, gives him her best glare.
