HEART LIES

24/7

GOOD MORNING SONMI

The first time Jae sent Sonmi a morning message, the girl thought it was a prank.

Sonmi was not used to such attention because she had never experienced a relationship.

All was new, but with their rocky beginnings, Sonmi was skeptical about what would come of Jae's trial run.

If Sonmi did not know who Oh Jae Kkyeong was, she discovered the fame or the myth of the men who were the three musketeers.

Jae's family specialty was acquisitions; they started in the beauty industry, bundling up all the brands they could before moving on to other fields.

The Ho heir was a sort-out bachelor, but not many approached him because of the heartbreaker reputation which preceded him.

What did he want from her?

Sonmi was banal, long hair, no gimmick, nothing more than the next girl.

Eun Young said it should honor Sonmi to have caught the man's eye.

Sonmi's phone beeped:

Jae: CAN WE HAVE LUNCH TOGETHER?

Apart from her wanted to say no, but the other half was curious.

Who was Ho Jae Kyung?

Sonmi gave herself 15 days to find the answer without thinking that perhaps, in the end, she might discover something about him she liked.

Sonmi: OKAY

Jae: I'LL PICK YOU UP.

"Why are you smiling like an idiot?" Eun Young asked.

"I'm not smiling."

"I knew you'd say that that's why I took the liberty of taking this as proof." Eun young said, showing her phone to Sonmi.

"When did you take this?"

"When you received the first message, and I took this one just now."

The 2nd photo showed Sonmi's wide grin. She blushed, slipped her feet in her slippers, and rushed to the bath.

"You can pretend as much as you want, Sonmi. I know you like Jae's special treatment."

"Can you two shut up," Hana said.

The girl had grown to hate the two, Eun Young annoyed with her sentences, which only started with Myeong, and Sonmi angered her.

Hana found the professor's daughter's behavior disgusting, believing Sonmi played hard to get while thriving on Jae's attention. Also, the newfound complicity between her roommates left her bitter.

Hana didn't appreciate her friend taking a liking to Sonmi.

How ironic Hana felt like the odd when out when the throne of the sensation initially belonged to Sonmi.

The morning went on smoothly and in accordance with Sonmi's emotions. The fluttering feeling took Sonmi by surprise, but having felt it for Ji-Seong, she knew what it was. The sensation seemed to intensify as lunchtime approached, and when Jae s red sports car stopped in front of her, the girl was a perfect candidate for electroshock as her heart seemed to stop beating.

Jae hopped out and came to open the spot on the passenger side.

"Madam."

"Don't overdo it, Jae."

Many students gathered to observe the scene in dismay.

"Isn't it Ho Jae Kyung?" A girl from Sonmi's class said.
