Once Upon A Time In Paris

Landed in Paris

"Jisoo, what did you say about Paris? What is going on?" Rose asks as soon as Jisoo comes back

Jisoo sits down on her bed and tries her best to not cry

"I've found everything out. After all these years, I finally know the complete truth. My father was not the only one who betrayed my mother" she says

"Jisoo" Rose runs towards her

"Please explain everything," she says

Jisoo looks at her with teary eyes

"Her best friend betrayed her. She introduced my father to the woman he left my mother for. Her own best friend. She helped them keep their affair a secret from my mother" Jisoo says

Rose is still spellbound at what she is hearing. Jisoo starts sobbing as she tries to explain the situation. She hands over the letter to Rose and she reads it out loud

"Dear Mijoo,

This is my eleventh letter to you. You haven't replied to any one of my letters till now but still, I keep waiting for your letter every time. But this time, I might not be here to wait anymore. I still have a lot of questions unanswered and I want answers before I leave this world. I trusted you like a sister and you stabbed me in my back. I saw on the news today that Kim Estate is doing really good. I saw him too in the photos, with his wife. I can't believe he got married so quickly. 

Today I don't want any answers, I am begging for a favor. Jisoo doesn't have anyone else except for me. She's only 5, you've seen her, haven't you? I've sent you some pictures with my letters before. Please ask him to take Jisoo to Paris with him, she is a very nice kid, she won't cause any disturbances. Please I beg you, I can't leave a 5-year-old alone here. Please Mijoo, reply at least this time. If he doesn't agree, will you take her in? She knows all the household works and will help you with everything. 

Please don't make my little girl suffer. I beg you

From,

An old friend of yours"

"Jisoo this is a whole new story. Are you fine? What do you want to do?" Rose says and looks at Jisoo

"My mother was way too soft. Look at the way she wrote this letter. I beg you. Why did she beg to this wretched woman for me? And that filthy human being who abandoned her own daughter, she wanted him to take me in?" Jisoo says with a disgusted look

"She really cared about you Jisoo. And she had no other options. But I don't understand, why do you want to go to Paris all of a sudden?" Rose asks

"So I should just rot here while my mother's so-called best friend and my so-called father enjoy their lives? I am going to destroy them, Rose, trust me. I am going to make them suffer, even more than my mother did. I'll make them beg for forgiveness and when they do, I won't forgive them" Jisoo says

"JIsoo, calm down. This is Paris we are talking about, not Gangnam or Hongdae where you can just take a bus and go. You have all the reasons to hate them but there isn't much that you can do. Have faith, they'll get their karma" Rose says

"I am their karma, don't you understand it? There is a reason for me to find this letter after all this time. " Jisoo replies

"You're right. This isn't Gangnam or Hongdae where I can just take a bus. I need a plane ticket and a proper plan. And I can't do it alone. I need your help" she says

"What do you want me to do?" Rose asks

"Come on. You're the brain. I need a way to get into their circle. Into their house. I want them to trust me, I want them to think that I am their own but I have no clue how to do it. Please Rose, I know you think that this is a bad idea but think about how my mom lived her life, here rotting and feeling betrayed while the people who betrayed her were probably drinking wine and living their best life. Think about me, all my struggles and tears got me nowhere. I even had to drop out of college because of my financial state. I have nothing to lose Rose. Nothing " Jisoo says with tears in her eyes
