#180 "I'll be in your care" (part 1)

I am 18 years old and an orphan.

"Unnie," (unnie refers to big sister) an eight years old kid with th same name as I, came to asked me: "They said that if I stay nice, there will be someone who'll adopt me. Unnie is a kind person, so why does no one adopt you so far until now?"

Why? Why huh. Well...

I've been living in this orphanage for almost 10 years since my mom left me. To make myself unlikeable, I acted rude to anyone who tried adopting me. I was afraid to leave the place where my mom promised to get me back, so I grew old while hoping that someday, I'll see her smile again.

Mom, I am a grown up now. Why hasn't you come back? Do you forgot our promise? Or worst, did you forget my existence?

"Miss (y/n)."

"Yes?"

"Someone is looking for you."

Looking for me?! What if...!

I dashed out: expecting, hoping and wishing it would be you, Mom. However...

"Good day Ms. (y/n). I am Secretary Lee from Isemi Company. The heir of our company wants to adopt you as his daughter. Will you accept his offer?"

Someone is reaching out his hand and offering me a home; the placed I missed to be at. It must be a miracle.

Mom, I gave up waiting for you. From now on onwards, I will accept the hands of those who'll accept me as their family.

In the next morning, Secretary Lee brought me to the house of my future father. He put my small baggage at the side of the living room and bowed goodbye with a simple: "Feel at home, milady."

Milady? Wow. It feels awkward to be called like that.

After he left, I sat down on the soft white couch and looked around. The house is quite big: on the other side, I saw a billiard room and on the right side, there is a small swimming pool. The TV is big, maybe around 55 inches? There are xbox 360, game consoles, android tv box, massage chair, grand piano, small wines collection room and a robotic vacuum cleaner. Computing them all together, it worth a thousand dollar bills! Woah, he must be really rich!

"Excuse me?"  a man appeared. So I stood up and bowed my head to a man who seems to have the same age as I. Logically speaking, he is handsome: those fox-like eyes, pointed nose and perfect lips are enough to dazed every single girls out there (except me, of course).

Who is he? Is he going to be my brother? Also, I think I saw him somewhere else. He looks familiar.

"Hello. My name is (y/n), 18 years old. The heir of Isemi company adopted me as his daugther. That's why I am here. May I ask, who are you?" I greeted.

"I-I am, ahmmm, well. The thing is..." he stuttered. His face turned pale as if he saw a ghost. "W-Wait a minute. I'll have a short call to Secretary Lee. Just sit down again and relax. Okay? Relax. Relax." Relax huh? He must tell that to himself. That handsome guy went in the kitchen.

After some minutes, he came back. He was scratching his nape while he makes an approach. For some reason, I think he is avoiding my eyes.

"Miss (y/n), there was, uhmmmm, a mistake," he started as soon as he sat down beside me.

"What mistake?"

Finally, he looked into my eyes. "My name is Jeon Wonwoo , the heir of Isemi company." What?! Then, that means he is... "I am the one who wanted to adopt a daughter." Seriously?! "But Secretary Lee made a mistake. It seems that there is a young girl, an eight year-old kid, who has the same name as yours."
