It was a sunny day at Welton highschool. The birds were chirping in the trees and the hot weather didn't seem to discourage the students from roaming around the school
A group of girls seemed to crowd behind a fuming girl. The girl had long black hair falling gracefully behind her back, a fair skin complexion, beautiful brown eyes, and cherry-colored lips pulled in a sneer
The young girl's brown eyes glared fiercely at the boy sitting on the bench in front of her. His head was bowed so that his face couldn't be seen
" Tang Jinyu! You really have a lot of guts!"
She clenched tightly to the white piece of paper that contained clean handwriting between her palm. It felt like she would rip in to pieces in the next moment
" Gong Mi calm down, don't create a scene"
Another beautiful girl approached the earlier placing a comforting hand on her shoulder as she cast a sympathetic glance at the black-haired boy
Honestly, she didn't understand what Gong Mi was making a fuss about. Wasn't it just a love letter? Shouldn't she be flattered that despite her rudeness to him Tong Jinyu would still like her? It was one thing to turn down the other's feelings calmly but was there really a need to make such a scene and embarrass the other
" Why should I calm down?! Lin Yi, isn't it an insult to me for him to write such a thing ?"
"you're being over dramatic. It's just a letter"
The black-haired girl of course didn't listen. She scrunched up the love letter and threw it at Tang Jinyu
" Tang Jinyu! The day I accept your love is the day the world falls apart!"
She turned around and angrily stumped away closely followed by the crowd of giggling girls
Lin Yi sighed and turned her gaze back at Tang Jinyu, the boy's head was still downcast. It seemed like the events of just now hadn't registered to him at all
Lin Yi lowers to pick up the paper that had rolled down on the ground before sitting beside Tang Jinyu
" Jinyu, you mustn't mind Mi-mee. She doesn't mean what she said, she was just angry that's all"
" hm"
" it's really sweet what you wrote to her" too bad Mi-mee was too childish to see that. The girl was just like that
" hm"
Lin Yi sighed. She took the lack of response from Tang Jinyu as his mourning from rejection, hah...love was such a complicated thing
A person likes Tang Jinyu who had been in love with Gong Mi since kindergarten happened to be the exact person Gong Mi hated the most. Just what kind of fate was it? Even though Gong Mi had spent the best of their school time making Tang jinyu's life a living hell the lone boy still loved her this much

She felt sympathetic for him. She hoped Gong Mi wouldn't be so mean to the boy. It was already the last year of high school for them and Tang Jinyu had grown the courage to confess after all only to be harshly rejected
Lin Yi suddenly felt afraid, would she also fall for someone like this too? Would she also be rejected?! No way!! She was a lady, she was meant to be chased and not the other way around!
With that thought in mind, Lin Yi felt appeased. She made to comfort Tang Jinyu again
" Don't worry Tang Jinyu, I'll talk to Mi-mee and.,.."
But when she looked over to the person beside her Tang Jinyu was gone
He must have left to go lick his wounds. Poor thing
Lin Yi stood up and walked off to go scold Gong Mi completely forgetting the love letter which wasn't there anymore
That was eight years ago.....and now everything was coming to bite Gong Mi in the back
* * *
Gong Mi hadn't thought to put something more casual. How could she have remembered such a thing if she hadn't even known she would be attending a high-class celebrity after party
She remembered waking up earlier in the morning with her phone ringing so loudly
It hadn't even occurred to her who would be so rude to wake her up at 5:AM. She hadn't felt like this since her college days, but it seems that even after graduation she still had to rise so early
" What!?" She didn't bother being polite at all
" Are you seriously still sleeping you imp? Some of us are out working, I don't get why dad still lets you live in the house when you should be living on your own! He was never so lenient with me!"
" quite whining" Gong Mi fought back a yawn " what do you want Gong Yi "
Her sister didn't even hesitate to blare out her needs like she was some kind of queen that was made to be served
" I forgot to bring some dresses for the shoot. There in my room so hurry up and bring them over"
" What!? Why do I have to bring them over? Where's Lin Chen? "
" he's busy Gong Mi. My agent has a lot to do before the shoot so stop complaining and bring the things to me. Maybe you might score a job"
" Nooooo"
" lazy ass" Gong Yi scolded cutting the call
Gong Mi lay back for a couple of seconds thinking about what Gong Yi had said. She didn't need her nosy sister telling her off all the time, she knew she needed to get a job soon. It had been over two years since she graduated college and three months since she quit her last job as an agent. The person she had been managing was easy to say the bitchy girl to have existed. Sun Ying treated her like a nanny than an agent. Maybe it was the fact she had managed to land a popular album that made her think Gong mi's life revolved around her
It wasn't like she hadn't tried to make it work but in the end, it came down to either quitting or poisoning sun king's meal, she decided the first option was the most logical
Now after a whole three months, she was still jobless. Maybe the fact that she hadn't been looking for a job may have been the major factor. Her parents hadn't bothered her much seeing how her last job had been a lot to handle.
But still, it was three months for goodness sake, it was enough goofing around especially since her sister's modeling career was booming and even Lin Yi had been cast in quite a lot of movies recently, basically, she was the only one being left behind
Grudgingly, Gong Mi got off her bed and got herself ready. She threw on a jeans and top and tied her hair in a ponytail before finally making her way to Gong Yi's room which was next door to hers
The dress her sister demanded was already packaged cleanly in her wardrobe. She picked up her phone to see that Gong Yi had texted her an address.
" Are you going out?" Her mother asked seeing as she came downstairs dressed
" yes mom, Gong Yi needs me to bring her something" she couldn't even try to mask her annoyance
Mr's Gong smiled at her pulling her in a small hug. " be careful on the way Mi-mee. And make sure you eat breakfast"
" Kay Kay"
Walking out of her home she walked with much gloom toward the place she could hail a taxi. She had a feeling this was going to be an extremely tiring day
