But Jisoo's born with natural kindness, with natural soft attitude and soft heart. And even though she hate her parents, a part of her still love them. There's still a place in her heart who was longing for their affection.

And so however harsh they treated her, she still gave respect to them. She still felt care towards them, and she's still afraid to hurt them.

"Anyways", she looked again at her mother when she spoke up.

Her mother gave her a smirk before she continued her words.

"I'm glad it's just a rumor Jisoo", she said. "You know, the guy was good looking, and I must say, he has a good family background"

Jisoo's eyes widened.

Did they investigated Taehyung and his background? The heck!

"You...", Jisoo hesitated if she would continue her words or not but then she still choose the former one. "You did a background check on him..."

She looked down at her hands placed on her lap, both clenched into balls.

"Ofcourse!", Mrs. Kim said with a tone as if she's proud of what she did. "I should check those who were being linked to you, I mean, we're rich, who knows he's just after our wealth".

"He's not like that!", she defended him while still looking at her fists who clenched more.

"Ofcourse he isn't, his family was also wealthy though", Mrs. Kim said. "Anyways, that's not the main reason as to why we're here".

That's her cue to look up to them, she gave them a confused look.

"You only have several months before you graduate in college, you know what does that mean".

She suddenly felt again the urge of crying.

Why does she have to remind me of it?

"The deal my dear, the deal", Mrs. Kim stated, emphasizing every words.

Jisoo remained silent.

Four years ago, she and her parents had a deal. That was way back when she just graduated from middle school and was about to enter college.

Her parents planned in migrating to Canada because their business there was doing good and so they decided to base there so that they could focus on that branch of them.

Ofcourse if they'll planning to base there, that also means Jisoo should come with them too. So they told her that she should come, or else she'd be left alone.

But Jisoo knew more than that. They just wanted her to come with them so that she wouldn't be away in their eyes.

All her life, she grew up feeling controlled. She doesn't have freedom, all the choices made in her life, it was all decided by her parents. From the clothes to wear, the food she should eat, the brand of things to use, even the set of people to befriend.

She was very thankful that Jennie, Rosé and Lisa's parents were all have a partnership in their company, because if they didn't, her parents wouldn't allow her to get close with them.

Her parents were actually the one who told her to befriend them, saying that they do come from wealthy family as well and all belonged on her class and status.

Yes, she was forced to befriend them, but then when she finally learned their behavior, and found out that they were all great ladies, she decided to befriend them for real. Without any force or faking.

And look now, they're more than a friend to her, they're her sisters as well, not by blood, but by heart, and that's what matters.

Unwanting to be controlled again, refused to come. She didn't just refuse, she begged. She begged for them not to take her with them, she begged for them to just leave her here. She begged for her freedom.

And that was when the deal was made. Her parents would allow her to stay and would give her the freedom she wanted, for certain conditions.

First, she must remain on top of her class. She should be always on top of her class, or even on top of her batch, not third nor second, it must be first.

And second, she should stay away from boys. She must not have any romantic relationship with anyone, she must remain single.

Lastly, she could only have her freedom for four years only. Because once she graduated from college, her parents would take back the control in her life.

Jisoo agreed, feeling desperate for her freedom. But God knows how much she regretted agreeing to those when her parents told her the last condition of that deal.

The last condition....damn that last condition!

"Be ready my dear, remember the last condition? It would happen anytime soon"

And that was enough for Jisoo's world to be shaken.
