Reborn

3. Good changes

He is here

My uncle Kang Sean

My father's elder brother

My grandfather has given equal shares of the company to both of his sons. Gave them the education they needed, provided everything to be a successful businessman. My grandpa retired from the business as soon as both his sons became 18. He never wanted to become a businessman, but his father forced him.

My uncle started from the bottom, as an employee. He got stronger day by day. All the board Directors were surprised to see his rapid growth.

On the other hand, my father joined the company as any other rich spoiled brat would. Took unnecessary reckless steps which made the shares drop constantly. He actually believed he was the best, whatever he did would bring him success and glory.

Anyway, after some time, the shareholders voted that they wanted my uncle as the CEO. Which didn't fit for my father. He married my mom, the sole heir to her father's company name, Elena Co. Ltd Dad took over it as well as shares in Kang Corporation.

Kang Corporation is the top real estate company not only in Korea but in Asia.

My uncle made our company worth a trillion. Now he is the chairman. He is a born businessman. No one dares to mess with him. The aura around him screams dominance, power.

Today he came to our house because of my grandma. He might be the king in the business world, but he would never disrespect his parents. My grandpa asked him over the months to come and celebrate Roseanne's engagement and my birthday, which is tomorrow. He agreed cause my grandma is quite ill, and her son was so busy that he forgot to visit her.

From childhood, he has been quiet and determined. His cold aura made sure no one approached him.

"Uncle."

A cold, deep blue eye glares at me.

He raised his eyebrow, silently telling me to continue.

"Can I come with you?" his eyes bore at me

"I want to work at the company under you."

"You're not capable."

"One year. Let me start from the bottom. Test me as much as you want, then see if I'm capable or not." I said confidently

"What do you want?" he's looking at me like he is trying to see through my soul.

"If I'm capable enough and meet your expectations, then make me the CEO."

The corner of his lips rose, a small smirk plastered on his face, seeing my confident fifteen-year-old self.

"Tomorrow sharp at my office. "

I smile a little in response.

This is just a start.

"Eminent guests, now I would like to invite stars of the evening, Roseanne and Taehyung . "

Round of applause as they entered the ballroom of the city's grandest and most expensive hotel stood the most beautiful teen couple.

There were hundreds of people from higher society to witness the engagement between the most wealthy and powerful families in the Eastern World, the Kim and Kang .

The two powerful families are now officially together. TV channels were live broadcasting it.

People around the ballroom whisper about how perfect they look together. They couldn't see any other perfect couple than themselves. They were so busy praising the 'Golden couple'.

I was still in a daze. I was standing in a corner of the room, just like I did in my previous life. It's really hard to believe that I actually got a second chance..

I looked at the couple in front of me, my gorgeous sister Rose, standing tall with a sweet smile that could melt anyone's heart. She wore an elegant baby pink sleeveless gown. She is looking like a Princess. Beside her Taehyung is standing there with his usual stoic unreadable cold expression. I looked at our parents surrounding them laughing, celebrating .

The same scene again, I placed a hand on my heart.

I have to let it go for my own good.

Looking at Rose, I no longer feel anger or jealousy toward her. Now that I'm back at my fifteen-year-old self, all my life I've tried to impress others, and I've always thought about what others would think of me. How I've always tried to make myself Rose and have her happiness instead of mine.

My parents always tried to mould me into Roseanne. She did violin, so they forced me to do it. Rose did singing, so they made me do it. I never breathed a single word, thinking one day I'll do it better than her and they'll notice me, love me. I even styled my hair like Rose. Looking at the mirror now, I can't believe it.

I'll not try to make others happy or impress. I no longer care what they would think of me. I'll not walk in my sister's shadow ever again. I'll not spend my life chasing after anyone or anything. Life is much more than that, and I'm intent on finding out. I'll find my own happiness, I'm gonna grow stronger and never be dependent on others.

In this lifetime I'll work hard only and only for myself.
Taking a last glance at the perfect event and my so-called family turned back and headed toward our house. I have to pack my bags, I'm gonna move to Uncle Sean's house, staying there till I can afford my own.

At lunch time uncle told my father I'm going to stay with my father scoffed he said "Good thing you are lessening my burden"

Then my mom looked at me and said, "Don't do anything that makes your uncle kick you out."

I stayed silent. It's useless anyway. I'll answer them when I'm capable enough. I won't forget a damn thing. Rose looked at me with a bit of pity but didn't say anything. My uncle didn't defend me, he believes you need to be strong enough to defend yourself and prove yourself.

That very night, I left that hell house and moved into my uncle's penthouse. Before going to bed, I went to him and told him that I'll pay him for the food and place with his expressionless face, he replied pay back with interest.

Such a businessman-type reply, not what I expected at all. Then it hit me, nothing in this world is for free. This is what he tried to teach me today.

Thank you.
