Taehee:
He stood in front of me----then, he gently presses his lips against mine; "My first kiss is stolen by a stranger!" I thought. Then, I unknowingly closed my eyes, kissing him back gently----but once I regained my senses; I pushed him away----I'd hit him, but he held my hand and began running with me. We ran----until we reached an alleyway, then he takes a deep breath before peeking to see if they were following us; "Hey! Why the heck did you kiss me?" I retorted.
He lets go of my hand and bowed---- "I'm sorry, but I was desperate so the only thing I could think of was to do that," he said, making me look at him with a skeptical expression. "I don't believe that---I think you're just a pervert, who goes around kissing girls as you please," I said, making him gaze at me.
"Miss, you don't need to go that far, but if you're butt hurt about it, then I return it to you," He uttered----before I could reply, he pulls me closer and kissed me again. "Humph!" He uttered, then walked away----I stood there astonished by the audacity of this young man; "Ugh! My first kiss is gone! And that pervert stole it!" I screamed.
I calmed myself and headed back to my apartment----I headed to my parents' home because my mom told me to stay with her for a couple of weeks, I didn't hesitate to agree because I'm saving bus fare and she'll take me to university. I unlocked the door and she walked towards me bombarding me with questions; "Mom, I don't want to talk about it," I said.
"Why? Didn't you meet your soulmate?" She asked. "I just met a pervert, so as part of our deal, I'm not meeting any more fortune-tellers---and I'll head back to my apartment tomorrow," I uttered. I headed to my room before she could lecture me any further----I locked the door and plopped on my bed, then, that pervert's face and the kiss popped in my mind; "Ugh!" I whined, uncontrollably.

An hour later of that stupid scene replaying in my mind----it finally stopped and I quickly got ready to go to work. A couple of minutes later, I finished getting ready, then headed downstairs to see my parents and older brother[Kim Tae-Woong] eating lunch; "You finally decided to come downstairs---come and eat before you head to work," my dad[Kim Tae-Sung] uttered. "Yeah, she was being possessed by the demon," Taewoong teased, making me roll my eyes in annoyance.
I took a seat next to him and mom passes me a bowl of rice---- "Enjoy! Besides, you might only get to eat today and tomorrow because you're going back to your apartment," My mom said, making me nod. I know she's sad that I'm going back to my apartment----but I don't want to stay here longer than two weeks----I often visited her every day.
~*~
Taewoong dropped me off at Serenade Moonlight[A/n: it's fictional restaurant] because mom asks him to do so----which saved me money; So yay! We arrived finally----because Taewoong was driving like a snail; "Are you a human-snail hybrid?" I asked as I got out of the car. "Pffft! Be thankful you annoying raccoon!" he sneered, making me roll my eyes.
"Thank you; I'll see you later," I uttered, making him nod---I headed inside and went to the kitchen to get my apron. "Ms. Kim, Your aunt is a gourmet chef----so are you familiar with it? my boss[Seo Yo-han] asked----- "Ummm, I know how to make a few dishes, but...," he cuts me off; "Great, you'll be in charge of preparing dishes for our guest in honors tomorrow, The Park Family, Mr. Seo said, making me nod.
He walks away from me----I took a deep breath; "I'm good at cooking, but I don't think I'm half as great as my aunt[Kim Woon-Kye]," I thought. I quickly texted my aunt and asked if I can come to her house after work to learn a few dishes before tomorrow. I put my phone in my purse, then start my shift---but the entire time my mind is occupied; if I'll be able to bring my skills to the table and even receive a promotion.
**
A couple of hours later, my shift had finally ended----I headed to the bus stop, a few minutes later, the bus came and I paid my fare. I saw an empty seat at the back---but before I could sit; I saw the same guy I met this morning; "What the hell?" I thought. I saw him taking out large amounts of money---- "I can't take that!" The bus driver said.
I decided to pay the bus fare for him---not because I felt bad, but I wished to arrive at my aunt's house early so I can practice the recipes. He followed behind me, then sat next to me; "Thank you," he said--- "Don't mention it!" I replied.
"Give me your information and I'll wire you the money!" He said---- "You don't need to do that!" I said. I plugged in my headphone, then, played my Taeyeon playlist; I love Kim Taeyeon----she's very sweet and lovely. Her songs speak to me in so many ways----I looked out of the window enjoying the night view, seeing couples walking hand in hand---makes me feel the need to find someone who might just hold my hand, cuddle with me, and match clothes with me.
However, that's never going to happen if this curse still can't seem to be broken---my thoughts are interrupted when I realize my stop is next---I quickly hit the button and got out of my seat. I looked back at the young man, who keeps staring at me---- "I hope we'll not meet again!" I thought, then got off the bus.

I finally arrived at my aunt's house---my cousin[Yang Jae] opens the door for me, then jumps in my arms; "Wow, Jae-ah, you're getting so big," I said, teasingly. He squirms around for me to put him down--- "I'm not getting heavy----you're just skinny," he uttered. Aunt Woonkye tells him to go back to his room--- "Hello, auntie! How are you?" I said---- "I'm great; your uncle still is at work, but he might come soon," she said, making me nod.
She gestured me to follow her into the kitchen----auntie Woonkye gave me a notebook and informed me to write a few dishes that she knows the Park family will love. Whilst explaining, I decided to ask her about our guest honors--- "Who is this Park family?" I queried.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" I asked with a perplexed tone---- "How could you know the multi-millionaire Park Seong-Eun, the owner of Crystal Pearl Enterprise," Woonkye said. "I mean I've seen the news on him, but I'd never paid much attention to it," I replied---- "His son is the same age as you," she said, making me smile.
"Do you think I might have a chance with him?" I asked--- "Taehee! You're here to learn the dishes, not to fall in love with your honorable guests," she asserted. "I know! I know! I'm just kidding," I replied, making her continue to tell me.
*
Three hours later, I decided to head home----despite my aunt insisting to send me home, but I decline and told her I'll take a taxi home. However, as I keep outside----there's no taxi yet; "Ugh, it's freaking cold," I muttered, rubbing my hands to keep myself warm.
Then, suddenly, someone taps my shoulder--- "You again?" I retorted. "Why the hell are you following me everywhere?" I asked----but before I could leave he hands me my scarf---- "You dropped it on the bus," he said.
"Oh, thank you," I said---- "Why are you standing in the cold?" He asked. "That's none of your business," I replied. He took off his jacket and wraps it around me---- "Do you live far from here?---I can work you home," I said.
"I'll be fine---just take your jacket and be on your way," I said, handing him back his jacket---An hour later, I saw a taxi, then I quickly stopped it----but I saw the young man standing in the cold. I decided to ask him to come with me; "Where do you live?---The driver can drop you off first," I said---- No, let him drop you up first," he replied, making me nod.
***
I quietly opened the door and sneaked inside----but Taewoong turned on the lights; "Where were you?" he asked. "I was at auntie Woonkye's house for something," I said---- "Humph!" Taewoong replied, sniffing my clothes.
"Hey! What the hell?" I asked---- "You're lying! Now, tell me the truth?" Taewoong said. "I'm going to bed; you're annoying," I said, then headed upstairs----and locked my door. I smelled my clothes and it does smell like that man's jacket---- "Ugh! Why do I have to meet him again?" I screamed, inaudibly.
