Chapter Two

It was a cold snowy morning. Ae Ri is still in bed. The expression on her face tells she's having a terrible nightmare. Areum comes in and is surprised to see Ae Ri still sleeping. She raises her hand to spank Ae Ri's butt but stood midway as she notices the sweat beads on Ae Ri's forehead. Ae Ri seems to be saying something but Areum finds it hard to fathom what she is saying. "Who's causing you so much pain that you curse even in your sleep?"she says stroking Ae Ri's face gently. She pats Ae Ri gently on her back and she wakes up.she yawns weakly and rubs her left palm over her face. "What are you doing here so early?"Ae Ri says while adjusting her pillow and sitting up. "Cause it's today"Areum says excitedly. Ae Ri stares at her, confused."what is today?" she asks. "Huh? Don't tell me you've forgotten what today is. She gives Ae Ri a questioning look. Ae Ri stares back not getting what Areum meant.

Without much concern she says yawning"what...? Areum climbs the bed then holds Ae Ri's hands, jumping excitedly, "it's the day of your bridal shower dummy. I can't believe you could forget a day like this. We planned a lot for this day and the organisers are here already. We've wasted enough time already. You should come downstairs and give your orders. I can't wait to see you in that sexy red dress. You know..." She pauses as she notices the sad look on Ae Ri's face." Are you kidding me now? I can't seem to find any 'I can't wait to finally be with my prince charming 'look on your face" Ae Ri burst out crying as she withdraws her hands from Areum's grip. "What's the problem?" Areum sits beside her and places her hand around Ae Ri's shoulder. She gives her a tissue from the bedside drawer. "Now, start talking. What's the problem?" "I can't be with Hyun Woo" Ae Ri says amidst tears." Woah ! Why? What happened?" Areum asks, concerned. " Bon-Hwa was right. Hyun woo is an animal with no humane feelings at all. Remember the lady we saw in his phone whom he claimed to be his sister?" "I think I do... what about her?" Ae Ri sobs then sniffs,"He was lying, Areum. She isn't his sister but his lover.i saw them together in his room, yesterday." Ae Ri breaks down in tears. Areum pats her on her back,"So, he remained an asshole till the end. Stop crying dear. He isn't worth it." "How did I get to meet such a heartless person? How Areum?"

How ,you asked? Ok that'll be taking us back in time. No literally, we're going back to when all these began...

Everest High, the most famous and expensive school only the wealthy kids could attend, known for producing the most talented students, is celebrating their sports festival.Ae Ri, a slim pretty girl of 16 is seen at the football pitch, sitting. She's putting on a short blue sleeveless dress with a shiny pink coloured purse and pink heels with silver stripes. Her hair is braided in a pony tail. Right beside her, Areum is seen in a white coloured cropped top, white high-waist jean trousers and ankle boots, muti-coloured. And yes, her hair is beautifully braided. Both ladies munch on some snacks . Ae Ri appears a bit distracted from the football game they were watching. She keeps staring around. "Areum, I can't see Bon-Hwa anywhere. Are you sure she's still coming? Areum shrugs her shoulders,"Well, she told me she's on her way."

She takes a bite from her sausage then moves her tongue round her lips"hmmm this sausage is to die for." She continues devouring her snacks with excitement . Ae Ri eats her popcorn, absent minded. "She sent a text last night saying she has a big news to share with us. I wonder what it is. Any ideas?" First, I didn't get any text from her on that and I have no idea. Second, where did you say you got this sausage? "Areum replies, less concerned in the topic."So..." Pauses ,"Oh! There she is" Areum points towards the direction of a beautiful slender girl dressed in short pink off-shoulder dress with silver purse and heels. She has a beautiful morning up-do hairstyle and a light makeup. She gives a gentle smile as she sees Ae Ri and Areum. She runs over to join them.

"What took you so long, Bong-Hwa?" Ae Ri asks while giving her her share from the snacks. Bong-Hwa turns to the girls full of excitement,"You know the famous guy from our school? The handsome son from the Woo's family? He asked me out to prom". Both girls stare at her, surprised."You mean Hyun woo?" Areum asks staring at Ae Ri. "Hyun woo asked you to prom?" "Yasss . He sure did. God ! I'm so happy. I can't believe this is happening." Bong-hwa says with excitement. "Ok this is bad...this is really bad." Areum says as she stares from Bong-hwa to Ae Ri. "Why...?" Bong-hwa asks confused. Ae Ri storms away. "Ok what's up with her?" Bong-hwa asks still confused. Areum takes a deep sign," Hyun woo also asked Ae Ri to be his prom date and they've actually been seeing for about a week now..." "What!?"
