-"My day couldn't get better..."-

That phone call was enough
to destroy all the excitement
which I have experienced before.

LOUISE'S DAY WAS GOING WELL. That was until her phone started to ring.
"Who is calli—-?"

"DARLING! It's me! Did you miss me? I hope you missed me so so much, I can't wait to see you~!" A very high, feminine voice cried through the phone.

It was the time as Louise started to regret her decision and shake her head in disappointment. Her dearest, most lovable younger step-sister was calling, who was definitely about to make her life harder again!

Taking a deep breath, Louise said to herself to stay calm 'inhale, exhale, repeat.'

"Why are you calling me from an unknown number?" Louise asked trying to stay as calm as possible.

"You sound not quite pleased at the moment which makes me feel sad..." Her tone went done, sounding like she would fake her sadness. "Well... I wanted to make you a surpriiiiseee~" She said while chuckling mockingly and attaining another sigh from Louise.

"Come on, I'm not in the mood to joke around SoRa... Anyway, if you've got nothing to say I'm gonna' hang up now." She exclaimed while truly hanging up on her.

SoRa was the trouble maker. The youngest and, according to Louise, most annoying family member, who was always asking daddy in her sugar coated tone to buy her something.

You could say that she indeed was, one devil dressed in an innocent sheep costume.

As Louise was about to enter the car, she flipped her hair back and strengthened her back.

"Did the meeting go well?" The chauffeur asked while smiling purely at her.

"Oh, yes... yes, thanks for asking. I think he'll agree on that offer." Louise answered, unbothered although, maybe she should have been. The next moment as the chauffeur opened the door for her, she nearly fainted.

"Darling!" SoRa cried out of the car, as she saw Louise.
"Come here, sit next to me, the car is big enough for us two~!"

Louise was torn between the idea of wanting to run away, or even take a public's transport, only to not interact with her step sister, because she knew, if SoRa appeared, trouble was about to hunt her.

"How about you let your mask fall off, huh?" Louise asked her while entering the car as she put her black, round sunglasses on.

"What do you mean? I'm not wearing a mask... Why should I wear a mask? That's my real face! You can feel it!" SoRa said and at the same time touched her squishy cheeks with her fingertips slightly.

"Cut it off, SoRa. I know your true identity." Louise said coldly, while checking her IG, avoiding any contact with SoRa.

"Well... how about you try to be more kinder, to somebody who just arrived." She narrowed her yes while turning to Louise. Her voice in comparison to before sounded more deeper.

"There, there, finally I see the real Park SoRa, somebody, who is rude, nasty and has bad behavior." She pointed with her phone at SoRa while saying so.

"Anyway... What exactly are you doing here? I thought you didn't wanted to do the job and come here...?" Louise asked again continuing looking through her feed.

"Well I actually wanted to ruin all your cards and annoy you, that's why I decided to come here... That might be one of my true reasons... No, of course not, I'm an angel~..."

Louise looked up from her phone to give SoRa a look full of doubtfulness.

"Anyway... I got a project over here, so don't worry, I won't be that big of a nuisance to you..." SoRa turned finally her attention to her well manicured nails.

"Aha.. how great..." Louise said while yawning.

"But daddy told me that I could live with you."

"W-WHAT?!?" Shock overtook her whole body, and woke her up out of her thoughts.

"Yes, because that will make my bank account feel better, since I won't pay for the hotel or rent a small roo-"

"He said what?!? No. No, SoRa. You won't live in my apartm—"

"If not, then daddy said, that he'll marry you off to somebody who you don't even know."

"For real now? No, no SoRa... You must be joking. Dad knows, that that's the only thing which I'm against the most!"

"I recorded him saying that, you wanna see?"

Louise couldn't believe her eyes. It was really her father speaking in a video message, about marrying her off to some guy.

As she once again checked her phone skeptically, she saw that same message sent by her dearest dad.

"But... we can't stand each other, dad knows that..."
Louise said with a hopeless look on her face.

"That's why daddy also wants us to interact much more! To unite the bond between you and me and see how our friendship blossoms, like those of a cherry tree on a spring day..."

"SoRa.... That's the first time you said something so metaphorically and fake at the same time... I guess you finally learned something while taking acting classes."

"Well, I was always smart, and I had a great teacher..." She smirked.

Louise looked at her with disgust, she only wanted the day to come to an end.

"Today I won't be sleeping at your place though, so you don't have to worry. I'll be visiting a good old friend of mine." She looked outside the window.

"Ahh, another one of your Don Juans, I guess?" Louise said while turning back on checking her phone.

"Well, my dear Louise, instead of you, who is still... reminiscing about her crush and is somehow too innocent to approach some other guy, I'm an experienced badass who can let any guy fall for me."

Louise hated it when her step sister started mentioning her crush. It just was not something SoRa should dig her nose into and the way she talked about him made the lovely girl feel bad.

But since she was used being mocked by her younger sister, she often let it slide, and didn't care about it anymore.

"Yeah, fall into a hole. I don't see any sense in having a bunch of boyfriends, which I'll be changing everyday like under garments. I don't just don't want to be called 'The slut of Seoul'"

SoRa sent glares at her. "Well, where's the big deal? Seoul is big, and not many people will remember you anyway..."
She rolled her eyes.

Truth to be told, SoRa was not one of those good, innocent girls. But she was a cute one with her own preferences, and definitely an ambitious leader. SoRa was very confident concerning her looks and her power.

But she was also always being praised by people for the good work she has done. Actually she was more bragging, than being truly one of the baddest female. And mocking her step-sis could be considered a hobby of hers.

"Oh, I have to get out here... Well I guess, I'll see you later then, my dear walking innocence~" She waved and tried to smile extremely kindly.

Louise could not believe that her father would play a prank on her like that. What did she deserve that even for? Once again she closed her eyes to take a short nap and push the worries which filled her head farther away.

-"Maybe I shouldn't have accepted
that offer in the first place
I shouldn't-"
She thought, but it was already too late to be concerned about that deal.

Have a nice day,
