I walked in our apartment as I planned to surprise my long time boyfriend. He knows that I will be working late today but I was planning a surprise for him since it will be our first anniversary.
When she opened the apartment a strange shoes which is not hers approached her as she begin to have cold sweats as she opened the bedroom door everything went flashbacks to her mind.
"You should always remember that we are born into a poor family, Honestly Mirae why would you go out in trouble with that rich kid when you know that you are no match for her. What will we do if they demand to pay for the casualties that you had cause?" Mirae's Father rants like there is no tomorrow. She stared blankly at the mirror and find no sense in why he's so mad when she was the one badly beaten.
"I hate school..." she murmured as she wash her face with cold water. Her hands are shaking like there is no such thing for her to live in this world. "I hate it..." she whispered as her hands starts to bleed.
In her university, Mirae Kim was often bullied by some rich kid named Donia. They tend to make fun of her when things comes boring Mirae Kim is there to make things fun for them.
Mirae Kim walked on the back of the school to meet with the cats she was feeding when she saw Kyler Jung smoking in the area.
There eyes meet as Mirae was full of bandages in her body. She just walked passed Kyler and starts taking out her food to feed the cats.
"You know that what you are doing is against the school policy right?" he asked as Mirae sighed. "What your doing too is also against the school policy. Let's just pretend that we didn't see anything." she said that made Kyler smirked.
"I haven't seen anyone with lots of bandages like that." Kyler said partaining to Mirae's injury. "Did you got yourself into an accident?" he asked again as MIrae looked at her arm.
"The kids usually bully me that's why I'm full of bandages everytime." Mirae answered. "Bully you? Isn't the teacher doing something abut this issue?" he asked.
"Why would they when the kid is the owners child? Why would the teacher want to loose their job?" she asked as Kyler knotted his eyebrows.
"But this school is owned by-" he didn't finish his sentence when the bell rang. "I need to go now." she said as Mirae smiled at him sadly.
'She's trying to smile...' Kyler whispered to himself and smoked out the remaining cigarette he had.
"Mirae Kim!" Donia called as everyone avoided her gaze as they are afraid of Donia Shin's father. "What do you think your doing huh? Why didn't you meet me up in the rooftop like always?" she asked as she stepped on Mirae's shoes.
"Doesn't getting rid of your scholarship not a good threat to be a good dog to me?" She asked as Mirae sighed. "My father told me not to cause him trouble anymore." She answered blankly as she knew if she cause him another trouble it will be the death of her.
Mirae Kim was raised by her father alone as her mom left them without giving them any reason. Mirae's father told her that it was her fault that her mother was gone and she should be a good daughter and not cause him any trouble.
Up until this time Mirae Kim is dealing with Donia just so she wouldn't cause her father any trouble anymore.
'Why would you report a rich kid?! DO you know we don't have money for lawyers?!'
'Do you think we have money to protect ourselves? You should just get along with those rich kids!'
'Your doing well for dealing things like this...Keep it up Mirae, Your my good daughter right?'
"What? Do you even think that talking back to me wouldn't cause you some trouble?" Donia asked as she glared at her.
The teacher came in as when he saw Donia in front of Mirae again he just turned his back and closed the door. 'Right, It's not like the teacher would help me at all.' Mirae whispered in her breath when Donia grabbed her hair and throw her out from the window.
From the third floor Mirae Kim flewed out as Kyler Jung was looking outside the window looking at the clouds and trees when he saw a figure coming down.
"What the hell..." He whispered and run towards the window and saw Mirae Kim on the ground. He grabbed his phone and called his uncle who is currently supporting him.
"Hey Ajussi," he whispered.
"Hmm? What's the problem? Aren't you in class?" he asked on the other side as Kyler gulp.
"Someone got thrown away on the window, C-Can you send Nam Li here?" he asked and turned of the phone as the students starts panicking with the scene.
The ambulance came and immediately took Mirae Kim on the hospital. Kyler knew that there is something going on and heard that a lot of rumors comes around in the school about a girl who owns the school and starts bullying a scholar.
Mirae Kim is in critical state as Kyler Jung decided to see her in the hospital together with Nam Li. "You know well that your uncle is way too busy to deal with this business right?" Nam Li asked as Kyler nodded.
"I know..." He said as Kyler stared at Mirae's situation. "How can a kid be this rude to a poor person like her?" he asked when they saw Mirae's father.
"I need her out of the hospital as soon as possible. I cannot afford these bills please." he pleaded as the nurse cannot do as what he plead.
"Please Nam Li..." Kyler asked as Nam Li sighed and messaged his boss about the situation. 'When did Kyler even started to feel pity to a girl?' Nam Li asked as he talked to Mirae's father.
"Hello I am Nam Li, President Jung's assistant secretary. The Jung would love to fund your daughter's hospital bill and rest assured that we will take care of this problem." Nam Li said.
"I don't know who you are but I would love to thank the Jung for being this kind." Mirae's father said as Kyler on the other side is listening.
"But my daughter is getting beaten up day by day and cannot live a normal life at school. I cannot stay and watch her live her life like this and die eventually." he cried in his knees knowing how hard it is being a poor person.
"I will deal with this sir and protect her at all cost." Kyler said as he cannot helped himself but get into the conversation. "Who is this kid?" Mr. Kim asked. "I am Mr. Jung." Kyler said impersonating his uncle. "I am Kyler Jung." he said as Nam Li didn't mind such lie at all after all it is also accurate that Kyler himself is a Jung.
"Thank you sir, I worry about my daughter as I also planned to work abroad." Mr. Kim said. "Then don't worry about it Sir, I will look after her." Kyler said reassuring Mirae Kim's father.
"I see, I don't know if I should trust you enough with my daughter but I'm taking this risk. I'm Juno Kim, Mirae Kim's father." he introduced himself. "Please take good care of Mirae." he added as he bow down on his knees.
Mirae on the other side with broken legs and ribs heard the conversation as her father forgets to close the door.
She looked at her situation and smiled sadly. "I see, I'm giving my dad a hard time too." she said to herself as she knew that this will be the last straw that her dad will take as he will leave him for good now.
"Mirae, Your awake..." Mr. Kim said as he closed the door. "Hey dad," she said almost in whisper.
"I'm going to work abroad to find proper work and proper money to feed you. I cannot just stay here and do nothing anymore." he started. "Don't worry the Jung promised to take good look at you and-"
"Will you be back?" she asked that made her father stopped talking. "Y-Yeah...." he answered as he cannot face her daughter while saying such thing.
Human beings tend to lie just because some of them wants other to pity them so that they won't be a villain in others eyes.
'I see, You don't want to be the villain.' Mirae said to her mind as her tears fell.
"Okay Dad, I'll wait for you by then." she said as her dad smiled sadly. "Y-Yeah, I know you would Mirae." he answered that made the whole room awkward.
In order to escape the problem, some people tend to ignore the real problem and start over a new life. A life without the problem tagging along.
People hurt other people just to win the game.
The game where one people loses if they get hurt first.
'But seeing my father finally being free from the burden of having me, Then I am the loser.' Mirae thought as her injuries doesn't hurt as much as how her heart hurts.
'This is it, This is my ruins and I'm the big loser.'
