“Pssst,” A not so tall woman called out to a woman with uneven bangs who just glanced at her and turned her attention back to the book.

The woman named Jennie pouted and forced herself to sit with the woman with uneven bangs. “Move.” The person spoke coldly.

“Help me pass the exam," she said with a hope and the tall woman just ignored her so she had no choice but to took her book, “Please?” she begged but the tall woman still ignored her. “Yaaah! You're so rude!" she can't help but to pout.

The tall woman finally looked at her and sighed, “Give me back my book,” Jennie smiled when she heard the woman's deep voice.

“Only if you help me,” she said with a smile.

She's so annoying

She said in her thoughts and was about to take it but Jennie being naughty, she raised the book so that the woman can't take it from her.

The woman stood up and Jennie backed away until the back of her head hit the wall, “W-whatt a-are you d-doing”

“If you don't stop annoying me I will kiss you,” she threatened in a husky voice and Jennie gulped and did not notice that the woman had taken the book from her hand.

and before they both could react someone saw them and that person's eyes widened, “Reminder. This is a library not a hotel,” the person stated and Jennie quickly let go of the woman and pushed her.

“The fuck Manoban. You're embarrassing me!” she yelled and walked away.

The woman just chuckled, “I was peacefully reading here and you suddenly came and pissed me off,” she shouted but Jennie just raised her middle finger and kept walking.

Jennie is baking now so she can forget what happened earlier. She couldn't help but be annoyed and slapped herself because she found herself smiling and she didn't even notice that her mother was behind her and was looking confusingly at her.

“She's so full of herself” she hissed and aggressively cracked the egg, “She looks crazy with her uneven bangs,” she scrunched her nose and she looks like a cat that hasn't been fed. Her mother has no idea what is happening to her daughter.

“Are you okay Honey?” she spoke causing Jennie to jump in shock.

“Mom! You startled me!” she touched her chest her mother just laughed at her.

“I saw you talking to yourself so I decided to approach you because I thought you were getting crazy. So who's that girl you are cursing to?” her mother asked her and she tried to hide her annoyance which did not go unnoticed by her mother.

“Nothing. I just remember something bad happened in my life,” she gritted her teeth and continued to mix.

“What is it?” she sighed and took off her apron because she knew her mother wouldn't stop bugging her.

She smiled at her mother and gave her full attention, “Someone just ruined my day and nothing serious happened” she stopped herself from rolling her eyes.

“I won't force you to open up to me but always remember that I'm always here,” she embraced her daughter and kissed her on the forehead, their moment was ruined when her husband arrived.

He kissed his wife and looked at the young woman “What's happening here? Have you convinced Lisa to help you with your studies?”

“I haven't.”

“What now Jane? Are you going to embarrass your mom and me again because of your low pathetic grade?” he started to his voice and his wife stroked his back.

“Are you going to scold me instead of helping me?” she asked blankly.

“Honey..” her mother warned her and shook her head telling her to shut her mouth.

“You are a disgrace to this family” her dad pointed his finger to her, “You should be like your sister Jane. You should be a role model for your younger siblings,” he said and walked out.

“Honey” she held her daughter and tried to comfort her but Jennie backed away, “Just understand your father. He's--”

“Won't you even try to defend me? I thought you were always here for me? Oh Yes, you are here and just watching how your husband beat the hell out of me.” she  said and went up to her room.

--

There was a woman who was reading a book and she was sitting on the bench and feeling the fresh air and she suddenly stopped reading when she saw some men holding the drunk woman and when she recognized who it was she quickly stood up and came closer.

A man was about to touch the woman's leg but someone grabbed his hand and twisted it, his companions noticed it and quickly rushed at the woman and threw a punch but she dodged and threw a punch. Because they were already drunk, it was difficult for them to fight back and the woman took the chance to approach the drunk woman.

She is too careless. What kind of girl is this?

She shook her head and faced them, “You're taking advantage of this girl,” she hissed and carried the girl into bridal style.

Small but heavy

“Are you Lisa?” she asked in drunken words and a tear escaped from her eye. “I wish I was you so that my father would be proud of me.” she said with a laugh. Lisa just looked at her and continued walking.

“I wish I were you so I could have a family too.”
