SONG: JUST A WASTE BY PINKPANTHERESS I leave the family table because of the amount of drama that was going on. Even if I am the main family drama queen, seokhui unnie is next level. I know her from the summer we spent together in New York when I was 15, my dad let me go only because Ha yeong seo convinced him, that's about the only good thing she's done in her life. She wanted me out of her sight for the holidays.
I jump onto my bed with my back hitting my soft mattress as I let out a bit sigh. "Do you need anything for now young miss?" Assistant Kim said to me "Stop calling me young miss, how many years have I been telling you to call me Jia." I say sitting up and looking at her confusedly
She smiles at me softly "anything you need Miss jia?" She says "You just don't give up do you?" I say throwing myself back onto the bed "Call ye seo and yeonjin please" I say sulking because they still haven't wished me a happy birthday
"Don't you have school today kiddo?" I hear a familiar voice say from behind Assistant Kim as she departs from my room to go and call my friends "Yeah. But what do I need an education for anyways? What's the point? We are rich. I'll just beg wan joon to give me MC hospital" I say turning over to my side and starting to secretly construct plans on how I'm going to ask the brother I hate the most for a whole part of his inheritance.
"Your a smart kid. Just like me." Wan soo says chuckling proudly pointing to himself and flicking the top part of his hair
"It's a shame your not the heir of MC group. The chairman title would really suit you." I say sitting up and crossing my arms in annoyance. I always knew that witch yeong-seo preferred wan joon to wan soon, because he was serious. They always treated joon as an extra child that wasn't needed. A spare item in the basket that you only need to display for a more natural look in your home. "You think so?" He says, a hint of seriousness in his voice
"I know so." I say giving him a look of approval in my eyes.
For a second there was silence. Complete and utter silence. Not a single word was said and it felt more satisfying than awkward. It felt like there was a hint of connection between me and my half-brother.
"JJ!!!!" I hear as 2 girls emerge from behind my brother and start running towards me "I was dragged here" yeonjin says groaning and rubbing her tired eyes. "Oh stop it." Ye seo says so cheerfully and happy while handing me a bunch of gifts "We got held up at the store getting this for you, sorry we are late." Ye seo says "It's fucking 9am I promise you we couldn't be earlier than this" yeonjin says rolling her eyes at me Ye seo elbows her again " stop it I said" she says through smiling and gritted teeth
They take a brief look at my room before saying together "Woah"
"I sure do get quite a lot of gifts for my birthday but nothing I have ever had compares to THIS." Yeonjin says looking around in awe
"Open it" ye seo says hawk eyeing to see my reaction to the gift "I'm going to leave you girls alone since I'm not a teenage girl myself" wan soo says smiling and setting off to go to his room
I open up the pure black large heavy gift box and lift up all the paper eagerly waiting to see whats inside. I saw a beautiful photo frame. It was gold on the edges and ebony oak wood from the back. I turned it around to see a picture of my late mother in her first modelling cast when she was just 20.

I look at the picture then look back at my freinds "We had to go to some major lengths to get tha-" yeonjin got cut off by me hugging the two almost driven by tears
"Thank you" I say whispering behind both of their backs as they hug me back with our hearts connection being felt from miles away. I pull away, grab the picture frame and put it next to my bed, on my bed stand. " thank you guys" I say placing it on the nightstand
"It's nothing honestly" ye seo says smiling at me and checking the time "We have to go. We'll be back tomorrow" she says grabbing yeonjins hand "WHERE ARE WE GOI-" I heard before the voice faded away into the distance
"A gift from an unknown sender, miss jia. The note says have a good birthday, my love" Assistant Kim says looking back at me and placing the gift on top of other gifts
"Alexander McQueen sent you front row seat VIP tickets to New York fashion week and said that it would be an honour to have you come to the Alexander McQueen & Chanel runway tomorrow as a birthday gift for your 18th birthday ." Assistant Kim says as I quickly stood up, grabbing the letter and ripping it open "It seems like you've been waiting for this for a long time Miss" Assistant Kim says to me curiously "So-Hyun, you can't even imagine how long I've awaited this" I say to her lifting the ticket up in the air like a heaven-sent prized possession
"get my jet ready for 4am tomorrow, I need to get there early and make an entrance." I say opening my walk-in closet to get the outfits I've been saving. "Would that be all Ms." She says to me I stop in my tracks "Could you do a background check on someone named park sunghoon? Who works at the convenience store in the corner?" I request
"Yes miss, i certainly can" she said looking at me "Quietly." I say sternly "Your wish is my command" she says slightly bowing and leaving
Little did I know, this upcoming week would change my life.
