. ‘Ahh… this is embarrassing’, she thought. “My name is Lee Chaeyoen.”. She introduced herself. Jackson looks confused. “I know your name.”, he says. “I know but, I wanted to introduce myself and ask you about your name.”, she says while smiling. Jackson smiles and says,” I am Wang Jackson. Nice to meet you.” And he and offers his hand for a handshake. She handshakes him and sees his fingers with band aids. “What happed to your hand?”, she asks him while looking worried. “Ahh… this is, I am trying to learn cooking.”, he says while laughing awkwardly. “Learning how to cook is very hard, right?”, she says. “You know how to cook?”, he asks her. And she nods. “Really, people who know how to cook is really great. I mean there’s so much that you have to learn. I mean you have to be careful about the size when you cut vegetables when you cook, have to watch the gas level and seasoning too. I mean if you forget to put one ingredient, the taste is completely different.” He starts complaining. Chaeyeon smiles thinking he looks cute. ‘He looks cute complaining.’. He continues to complain and looks at the time. “Ah.. it’s already 2pm. I have to go. See you next time”, he says and leaves in a hurry. “See you.”, she says in a low voice looking sad.
Suddenly, a hand is on Chaeyoen’s shoulder. She gets startled. She turns back to see whose hand it was. She saw Yoona, Somin, Jahee and Yuri. She feels a chill on her spine. “You must be sad that we are not playing with you.”, Yoona says with a sneering voice and playing with Chaeyoen’s hair. She continues saying, “Wait or a few days, we will play with you to our heart content.”. The girls left after saying that. Suddenly Yuri turns and says, “See you soon.”, with a smile in her face. Chaeyoen starts trembling in fear. ‘what do I do? They haven’t been bullying me for a few weeks so I thought they would stop. But I was wrong. What should I do? Should I ask for help?’. She looks as if she was wanted to die. She just hurries to home.
She just arrived at home. Her mother comes and says, ”Hurry up and get ready for Anna’s birthday party.”. Anna is her sister’s daughter. Her mother continues, “Make sure and try to be as pretty as possible.”. Chaeyoeng looking uncomfortable says, “I am not feeling well. Can you guys go? I want to take rest.”. Hearing this her mother gets angry. “I know that you just want to go. Stop making excuses and go and get ready”, she says while getting angry. Chaeyoen goes inside her room. She stands for a while after closing the door. ‘Well, a part of it is a truth, I can’t deny that .A place where I will be compared to Ann. But I don’t want to be compared’, she thinks while changing clothes.
