Y/N'S HOUSE

As she applied a coat of mascara and a subtle shade of lipstick, she gazed into the mirror, taking in her reflection. She appeared as radiant as ever, with her striking brown eyes and fair complexion complementing her slender figure, creating an overall stunning look. However, beneath that beautiful exterior lay a hint of quirkiness and a playful spirit. Life had not been a walk in the park for her, despite what others might assume. The silence from her father weighed heavily on her heart; their conversations were few and far between. Since her mother passed away, she had been surrounded by people, yet none could fill the void left by her mother. All she truly craved was her father's presence, someone to listen to her thoughts and share in her feelings.

Time was slipping away, and she realized she needed to hurry. With a sigh, she grabbed her backpack and made her way down the stairs, her mind still swirling with thoughts of her father and the bond they once shared. She knew that despite the challenges she faced, she had to keep moving forward. The world outside awaited her, filled with opportunities and experiences that could help her heal. As she stepped out of the house, she took a deep breath, ready to embrace whatever the day had in store, hoping that one day, her father would understand her need for connection and support.

｡･ﾟﾟ･　🌻　･ﾟﾟ･｡

Good morning, everyone! Y/N heard her uncle call her for breakfast, and she quickly responded, "Yes, Uncle Yong!" In her household, there are five family members, but it's only her uncle and her two cousins who truly pay attention to her. They are incredibly kind and supportive, making her feel valued and loved. Uncle Yong is a particularly cheerful person who always knows how to lift her spirits. Despite facing challenges in his life, such as not being able to graduate due to financial struggles, he remains optimistic. He applied for numerous jobs but never received any responses, which led him to discover his passion for baking. Although he is an exceptional baker, he lacks the funds to open his own bakery, so he takes orders and delivers cakes to wealthy families for their special occasions.

On the other hand, Y/N's aunt, Mrs. Yong, is quite the opposite. She is very focused on money and often comes across as greedy, which makes Y/N feel uncomfortable. While Y/N shares a desire to earn her own money, she is determined to do it through her own efforts rather than relying on anyone else's wealth. She dreams of starting her own business one day, driven by her ambition and the hope of achieving financial independence. Y/N admires her uncle's baking skills and often thinks about how she could combine her interests with his talent to create something special. With the support of her uncle and cousins, she feels inspired to pursue her dreams and carve out her own path in life.

"Breakfast is ready," her aunt announced cheerfully. Y/N was on a mission, and that mission was to find her coffee. She believed that coffee was the only thing that could fuel her brain for studying. "Where's my coffee, Mrs. Yong?" she called out, her voice tinged with urgency. "It's in the kitchen. Just go grab it, but please be careful not to break anything," her aunt replied with a playful smile. Y/N reassured her, "Don't worry, I've got this," and hurried off to the kitchen, eager to get her caffeine fix.

Once in the kitchen, Y/N spotted her coffee sitting innocently next to a glass dish. As she reached for her beloved drink, disaster struck. The glass dish slipped from its perch and shattered into a million pieces on the floor. The sound echoed through the house, prompting everyone to rush into the kitchen. "CHOI Y/N!" her aunt exclaimed, her voice a mix of shock and frustration. "What have you done to my dish? That was brand new, and I just opened it yesterday!" Y/N felt a wave of panic wash over her as she tried to explain, "Mrs. Yong, I swear the dish just fell on its own when I was getting my coffee."

Her aunt sighed, exasperated. "Aishh, CHOI Y/N, can you do anything without causing chaos?" Y/N felt a bit defensive, thinking, "What did I do wrong?" Her aunt waved her hand dismissively, "Just go somewhere else. I need to clean this up and get Yuna to her office, and Mr. Baek too." Y/N nodded, feeling a bit left out. "What about me? I have school as well," she reminded her aunt. "Oh, right, right, you too," her aunt replied, and Y/N made her way to the dining table, where she plopped down next to her cousin, Choi Younjae, hoping for a quieter morning ahead.

Her father asked, "Did you break something again?" Y/N cast her gaze downward, feeling a mix of guilt and resignation. "Yes," she admitted softly. He sighed, shaking his head in disbelief. "How can you be so nonchalant about this? Anyway, Y/N, please do me a favor and try not to break anything else. I really can't keep buying new dishes and cups; it's getting out of hand. Do you get what I'm saying?" She managed a smile, trying to lighten the mood. "Okay!" she replied cheerfully. He then added, "I have to head to the office now. Here's 1,000 won. Take the local bus to school, alright?"
(guys I searched of Google..... What's the price of local bus-...... Hehe... Koreans are rich bruhh).

TIME : 7:00
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

The young man stirred awake, silencing his alarm before heading to the bathroom for a shower. Kim Taehyung, the eldest son of Mr. Kim, is far from an ordinary teenager. He is diligent and punctual, always completing his tasks on time and never missing a meeting. While he may appear distant and aloof to those outside his family, he carries the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. Following the sudden passing of his father from a heart attack, Taehyung is left with only his mother and sister for support. Despite the tragedy, he has stepped up as a successful businessman, managing Kim's Channel, a dream his father had nurtured for years. Before his death, Mr. Kim held a ceremony to announce Taehyung as the next CEO, a role that now defines his life.

After finishing his shower, Taehyung emerged with only a towel wrapped around his waist, droplets of water cascading down his toned abs. He looked as composed as ever, embodying the determination and focus that characterize his daily life. The mirror reflected not just his physical appearance but also the burden of expectations he carries. As he prepared for the day ahead, he was reminded of the legacy he must uphold and the dreams his father had for their family business. Each morning is a new opportunity for him to prove himself, not just to the world but also to the memory of his father, who believed in him until the very end.

He put on his usual tuxedo, preparing himself for another day at the office. After getting dressed, he reached for his favorite Gucci perfume, giving himself a few spritzes to feel fresh and confident. As he glanced at his reflection in the mirror, he took a moment to appreciate his polished look. However, he quickly realized that time was slipping away, and he was running late.

Time:8:00

He made his way downstairs, where his mother was waiting for him with a warm smile. "Good morning, Tae baby!" she exclaimed cheerfully. "Morning, Mom," he replied, feeling the familiar comfort of home. "Come on, let's have breakfast. I think Mr. Kang has whipped up something special for us," she added. Excited at the thought of a delicious meal, he started towards the dining table, but his phone rang just then. It was his secretary, Ms. Gia. "Good morning, Ms. Gia," he answered. After a brief conversation, he instructed her to start organizing the papers and the meeting room, promising to arrive in half an hour. Once the call ended, he sat down to enjoy his breakfast, but his mother was curious about the call. "Who was that?" she asked. "Just my secretary," he replied. "Is she pretty?" she probed further. "Oh, Mom, please!" he groaned. "No, she's not really pretty... she's missing her front two teeth," he admitted. "Oh, I see. Sorry for asking. Now, eat your breakfast."

As he savored his meal, his mother shifted the conversation to a more personal topic. "By the way, Tae, when are you planning to get married?" she inquired, her tone hinting at her hopes. "Mom, you know I have no plans for that," he responded firmly. "But baby-" she started, but was interrupted by the arrival of his sister, Kim Eunbi, who bounded down the stairs. "Hey, what's up, Oppa?" she greeted him. "I'm good, Eunbi. It's been a while since we caught up," he replied. She teased him, saying, "Come on, you must be busy with your girlfriend," rolling her eyes dramatically. "Excuse me, I don't have a girlfriend," he clarified. Eunbi laughed, "Can you believe it, Mom? Everyone at school thinks it's unbelievable that he's single!" His mother chimed in, "See, even the kids at her school are talking about it!" Frustrated, he declared, "So what? It's my choice! I'm not getting married anytime soon!" With that, he stood up, kissed Mrs. Kim on the forehead, and headed out to his car, ready to tackle the day ahead.

Time : 8:30

Taehyung was seated in his car, a content smile spreading across his face as he reflected on the day ahead. He thought to himself, "This is just perfect," feeling a sense of satisfaction wash over him. With that positive feeling fueling him, he turned the key in the ignition and set off towards his office, eager to embrace whatever the day had in store for him.

｡･ﾟﾟ･　🌻　･ﾟﾟ･｡

As I stepped into my school, I began searching for my best friend, Kim Eunbi. Eunbi and I have been friends for two years now, and our friendship started in a rather dramatic way. I remember the day vividly; I was being cornered and bullied by a group of mean girls when she bravely intervened and saved me. After that incident, I felt a strong bond with her. I had asked my dad if I could attend this university because I wanted to make both him and myself proud. It took a whole year of convincing him, but eventually, he agreed. During that time, I continued my studies at my old school, but I was determined to make the most of my new opportunity.

Today, Eunbi was visiting my house for the first time, and I realized I had never met her family, although she had met my cousin, Younjae. Interestingly, there seemed to be a spark between them, but neither had taken the initiative to express their feelings. Younjae had just returned from Canada for some personal reasons, and it was nice to have him back. As I was making my way toward Eunbi, who was waving at me, I suddenly collided with another girl, causing me to stumble and fall. She shot me an annoyed look and quickly apologized, saying it was an accident. I couldn't help but respond with irritation, pointing out that I was the one who had been knocked down. "What the hell!?"

｡･ﾟﾟ･　🌻　･ﾟﾟ･｡

She adjusted her glasses as she spoke, revealing her identity as Clare Park, the principal's daughter and arguably the most notorious girl in school. Born in America, her name carries a distinctly American flair. While she may not fit the conventional standards of beauty, Clare has a strong belief in her own attractiveness, which often leads to her being misunderstood by her peers. "What do you mean by 'what the hell'? You need to apologize to me!" Y/N exclaimed, attempting to sound fierce, but her adorable expression made it hard for anyone to take her seriously.

Eunbi, noticing the commotion between Y/N and the school's popular girl, rushed over to intervene. She quickly grabbed Y/N's arm, trying to pull her away from the escalating situation. "Euniii, let me go! She still hasn't apologized!" Y/N protested, her determination evident as she struggled against Eunbi's grip. Despite her protests, Eunbi was resolute, dragging her friend back toward their classroom, hoping to diffuse the tension and protect Y/N from further confrontation.

｡･ﾟﾟ･　🌻　･ﾟﾟ･｡

We were sitting in the cafeteria, enjoying our lunch when I suddenly felt a chill on my head. To my dismay, I realized it was water dripping down from above. I leaned over to Eunbi and whispered, "Don't stop me now." She was just as frustrated as I was. In a fit of anger, I stood up and grabbed a handful of Clare's hair. "What did you do? I just straightened my hair yesterday! I borrowed a straightener from my neighbor, and now you’ve ruined it!" I exclaimed, jabbing my finger at her. Just then, the principal appeared out of nowhere, and I thought to myself, "Oh great, just what I needed."

I quickly released Clare's hair and tried to compose myself, staring at the floor because I knew that looking up would only get me in more trouble. "WHAT IS ALL THIS!?" the principal shouted. Clare, with a dramatic flair, pointed at me and said, "Dad, she pulled my hair and even slapped me!" Mr. Park shot me a fierce glare, and I turned to Clare, defending myself, "I pulled your hair, but I didn’t slap you! Principal, your daughter is a master at lying." Eunbi, standing beside me, elbowed me and whispered, "Y/N, do you want to get expelled? Just keep quiet." I glanced back at the principal, who was still glaring, and quickly looked down again.

"Miss Choi Y/N, this is the 15,826th time you’ve caused trouble in my school, and this is your final warning!" he declared. Eunbi and I exchanged worried glances. I pleaded, "Please, sir, don’t expel me! I swear I’m innocent. Everything just happens automatically." Eunbi shot me a look that said she was done with my antics. I continued, "I was just trying to meet Eunbi, and she happened to be in my way. It’s not my fault we bumped into each other!" The principal sighed and said, "Alright, Ms. Y/N, I’ll let you off this time, but it’s your last chance." I muttered under my breath, "You say that every time." He asked, "Did you say something?" I quickly replied, "No, sir. I was just telling Eunbi that our food is getting cold." Eunbi facepalmed, looking embarrassed, and I added, "My food is as cold as ice now." After giving us a lecture he went from there. "Y/n honey! Believe me I am tolerating you just because you're my best friend!.". I simply passed him my swagy face and told her to bring me a cup of coffee :)

｡･ﾟﾟ･　🌻　･ﾟﾟ･｡

I was focused on my laptop, deeply engrossed in my work, when my secretary unexpectedly approached me. "Ms. Gia, could you please tell me what my schedule looks like for today?" she inquired. I quickly glanced at my notes and replied, "Mr. Kim, you have a meeting with Mr. Park at 10 a.m., and then you need to pick up your sister from school at noon." A look of surprise crossed her face as she asked, "Wait... where's her driver?" I reminded her, "You mentioned that you would be the one to pick her up today." With a nod, she acknowledged my response and left my office.

After she walked out, I was suddenly distracted by some voices coming from outside. Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to step out to see what was happening. As I opened the door, I heard a familiar voice calling out, "Tae baby." The sound was both unexpected and intriguing, leaving me wondering who was outside and what was going on. The atmosphere shifted, and I felt a mix of anticipation and confusion as I tried to piece together the situation unfolding just beyond my office.
