Yoohyeon's POV
I looked at the stack of paper works I needed to sign on top of my desk. I sighed disappointingly. People might envy me for being rich or at least well-off but honestly if I was reborn today I wouldn't choose this life. It's so tiring and draining and lonely.
I didn't ask to be the next in line to take over our family business. I only wanted to live a simple life, not even close to something like the one I have now..
I didn't even go to college like everyone else, I was always homeschooled. I was groomed into perfection to do well in order to be worthy in the eyes of my Father.
I always hear that I'm so self-centered, selfish and stern. Quite too serious for everyone's cup of tea. And honestly, I've become like this because I'm so burned out. I only show my real self to the people I'm close to. Which are not a lot. It doesn't help that I always have a hard time making friends.
And since I didn't go to a regular school, I didn't have many friends. Not like I needed a lot anyways, but I heard it's actually way cooler if you have more friends. Even those friends who are just there temporarily. They still add up to someone else's happiness. And I wish I had that.
I only have Yubin and my sister, Sua. We barely even meet because apparently we're too busy hustling for the things that won't even matter when we're all old and gray and weak.
The people around me advised me to play around, to meet someone but It's hard for me to open up to someone. I don't want them to see the real me. To see the struggling Yoohyeon inside of me.
Probably because of how I was raised and groomed. I also, wanted to meet someone and fall in love.. but I'm afraid, afraid of falling so hard and not getting the same love. I realized that opposite doesn't always attract each other, not that it matters but I just want someone to make me feel wanted and cheers me up when I'm feeling down, someone who will truly care for my being regardless of who I am and what my status is. Just someone who'll accept me for what I am.

Jiu's POV
It's Minji, if I've known you longer enough. It's Jiu for everyone else. I looked at the group of entitled teenagers who left their table completely trashed. After they left, I went to their table and grabbed the trash they left and throw it out the trashcan. I wiped the table clean before telling our host person that another table has been cleaned.
I worked part time at this family restaurant near our apartment. Honestly it's an ok job, it's tough at times, You always get a bunch of entitled customers who acts as if they pay your dues but you can't complain because you're trying to make ends meet. Yes, that's me.
I moved into this city thinking life would be nice enough to me but boy.. was I wrong. Working while studying is very hard here in the city. Yea.. the opportunities are endless but you have to hustle twice as hard.
You have no idea how much I wanted to just move back in the country side and live life just like everyone else back there. Maybe even marry a rich man so that I don't need to do all the working while I focus on my study.
But life isn't like that for me. I'm not like that, and I would rather dissipate into thin air than submit myself to someone to control me.
And even though, I'm struggling now.. Doesn't mean I'll always will. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel, I kept telling myself that because I know I need to be strong for myself.
And because of that mentality, I can't find the reason to love someone. To fall in love. To fall so deep in love and risk it all. Distractions, I can't afford that. Unless someone worthy comes, until then, I won't fall in love.
