She, who has so much of ego has gone through what she thinks, is the most memorable struggle in her life.

It is bad. She has wondered and felt so frustrated about herself. Still feeling like leaving this world everyday as she suffers from an illness.

It is not exactly a critical symptom or disease... It is a kind of flu... Love Flu.

She has dignity and pride. That intelligence of hers could hardly bring her any person who can be her friend. Ham Eunjung was always alone.

The stylish bob hair embraces Eunjung's almost perfect V-line face. The eyes of concentration and sharp determination have never been gentle toward anyone. That powerful straightness of her nose creates a superfluously delicate feature above what we call... The Lips.

Eunjung's lips can be compared to those pink cherry blossoms falling down the riverbeds and the sun shining roads. They are soft and gentle, yet, they were never been touched once.

Others usually compare people's facial beauty to the sculptures, why is that so? Beauty is something different; it is considered the charm and specialness of an individual. That kind of beauty will be revealed someday, when that individual meets their fate and their forever destiny.

"Keep your chin up." One of Eunjung's favorite teachers has told her.

She will remember this everyday and everytime. Being strong is a way to survive in this hypocratic world. What she has faced turned her into a cold-hearted and independent young woman in her early twenties.

Now, she is feeling as if she has gone insane and she herself... is a bad influence of the world. Eunjung has always been tolerant toward everybody else. She does not judge how someone is, unless she gets to know that person very well. Never once thought that she can be in love, Eunjung closed up her heart and is always vigilant toward people.

She was lied to.

She was misunderstood.

She was being treated not as a person.

She was thrown away like an object.

She was being tested as a machine.

She was neglected.

She was forlorn.

Yet.

She is a girl.

She is lovable.

She is sweet.

She is beautiful.

She is strong.

She is talented.

She is a person.

Covered her true self in a world of darkness with misguided steps, Eunjung never thought that there would be light, there would be a ray passing through her condensed blindness.

Then came a person who replaced her sunlight, replaced her mountain, replaced her ocean, replaced her weather, replaced her shelter, and replaced her heart.

Is it because Eunjung has not felt the love from her family and her mother? Is it because she was too lonesome? Or is it because she was yearning for love?

She many times thought about why she can't be in love with men. Maybe they are too arrogant, too careless and too easy to be understood.

Eunjung criticized herself for being too offended to the opposite gender. However, she experienced the tragical harshness and the dramatic abuse that men brought to women. The society, the social network and the internet are the reality. They have the evidence of terrible treatments of one person to another, not just men to women but everyone to each other. Women and children happen to be most of the victims of mentally and physically abuse. She feels very fortunate that her father is a gentleman full of magnanimity and scrupulosity. Compares to him, her mother is not very veracious and usually is enthusiastic over money. However, if it wasn't for her mother, Eunjung cannot have the things that she is having. Eventhough she does not like money and property, Eunjung always appreciates her parents. Being the middle child of the family makes her become the oddest. Whatever she does, they will not appreciate it, instead, and they like to criticize.
