Jungeun and Jinsoul sat across eachother and ate quietly, Jinsoul decidided to order some malatang, kimchi stew  and jjajangmyeon. The younger girl couldn't look at Jinsoul as her eyes were glued either on her food or the table itself. Jinsoul on the hand kept glancing over at the girl and wondered if she should talk about what happened the other day, she wasn't home yesterday as her father needed her for some business stuff so she was at her house the whole night.

"I know you have a lot of questions..." She said earning Jungeun's attention, "H-Huh..?"

Jinsoul looked at her waiting for her to realize what the older girl was trying to say, "Oh..Um...Honestly..." Jungeun doesn't know what to ask, she has too much questions that she doesn't even know which one to ask.

"We'll start with basic." Jinsoul placed down her spoon and fork and lean back on her chair, "I'm Jung Jinsoul the daughter of Jung Joonmin and the heir of Jung Enterprise. I'm Kim Hyunjin's sister well...half sister everything else are the things that you already know." Jungeun looked at her still confuse, "Why didn't you just go by that?" She finally asked making Jinsoul sigh,

"I was kept away from the public ever since I was born, even when my mother found out she's pregnant with me it was also kept as a secret. At that time my family received a bunch of death threats and they even kidnapped my second oldest, Soojung unnie or known as Kr-"

"Krystal Jung." Jungeun cut her off and smiled, of course she knows the two Jung Sisters. Both were her role models, Jessica Jung the CEO of Blanc & Eclare, a fashion company that she has a full collection of and also the owner of JJS Entertainment together with her sister Krystal Jung who is an actress and also a singer together with her oldest sister. She wanted to be a singer because of them, she wanted to follow their footsteps to be a successful singer and a fashion designer. Jinsoul looks at Jungeun who seems to be in her own little world making her wonder why she suddenly looked like that. "Something wrong?" She cut Jungeun's thoughts,

"Oh...Uhm..No, it's just that both of the Jung sisters are my role models and my icon...I...ever since I was young I wanted to be like them, a singer and a fashion designer and I also want to own my own fashion company...I practiced singing so hard since I was young hoping to be like them, standing on stage and singing in front of everyone. Singing is my passion and also dancing...but.." Her face fell realizing that it was just all hope and dreams, she knows there was nothing more than that. Her father had other plans for her.

Jinsoul frown knowing that there was something else that is stopping the younger girl from chasing her dreams.

"It's never too late, it's your life. You do whatever you want with it."

"What about you? Do you want to do something else other than handling your own company?" Jinsoul thought about it for a moment but honestly she was contented following whatever her father wants her to do. She loves it.

"No. I do everything else as a hobby or if I don't have anything to do. I really do want to handle our family company, I find it really fun and interesting." She replied and smiled,

"So you're real identity is out now, what are your plans?" Jungeun expected some different answer but to her disappointment Jinsoul answer was different to what she was expecting,

"Nothing. Just like the old times." The older girl noticed Jungeun's face,

"Don't worry it'll be different this time. No one will be able to touch me."

Suddenly an idea popped up in her head, she smiled knowing it will cheer the girl up, "Are you free tomorrow after school?"

The younger girl look up and shakes her head, "I have cheer practice tomorrow till 6, why?"
