Reborn

4. Rude comments

"Here, kid, now finish them. "

The head of the sales and marketing department placed lots of files on my desk.

"Do they think this fifteen-year-old kid can do this just because she is a Kang huh, petty," she mumbled

I ignore her rude comment and judgmental stare at me and start to sort out the bundle of paperwork she has for me. Uncle wants me to learn the ins and outs of market value and demands. In his eyes, I'm just my sister's shadow and an immature kid who knows nothing about the business world.

Well, Uncle, let the game begin.

Ever since I've set foot here, everyone is throwing me a judgmental glare, gossiping about how my uncle can pick up a black sheep like me.

According to them, I should get more training about the necessities of becoming a Kang, first business is not for me.

Work, work, and work, that's what I've been doing for this month. School starts tomorrow after the summer break. Can't get homeschooled, our school doesn't do it.

Another hell is school can't wait to graduate.

It will be very hard to keep up with my schoolwork and my work, but I'll do it.

The sales and marketing department is in a daze cause of me. They just can't believe how a fifteen-year-old girl could do all the work that even a Department head can't.
Soon, my department changed to the Development department.

People around me who were busy badmouthing about me now fear talking about me.

When the Development department head got the previous report from the sales and marketing department about my performance he was very amazed. That man, in his late fifties, chuckled at me and said, " She is a Kang. It's in their blood. She is here to prove it. "

Anyway, tomorrow I have to face another hell and fight for myself. This time I'll not be afraid anymore.

"Hey girl how was your break. Oh my god I can't believe Taehyung and your sister got engaged. But don't be sad, Hannah will guide you and you'll be able to have him back." Amy spoke with her one arm around my shoulder.

As soon as I came to the class, my bestfriend Amy jumped on me with gossip. I sigh disappointed at my past self.

Hannah is the queen bee of our school. She came from a rich family. She took pity and took Amy and me as her sidekicks. She only used us as her entertainment. She promised me she would help me to get Taehyung from my sister.

And like two dumb women, we fight for that man at the end, who was engaged to my sister.

But she wasn't that dumb like me when she realised she couldn't have him, and he got married to my sister. She somehow married a rich CEO who was 20 years older than her. But I couldn't take it and ended up like that in my past life.

So embarrassing man. ugh!

"She asked for you now Taehyung ." Amy spoke

I remove her hand from my shoulder, "Listen, I'm no longer interested in him. Tell her she can snatch him from my sister. Leave me from all this. " I say sternly. Amy's mouth opens and closes like a fish with a pair of widened eyes.

"Are you sick? What are you saying? You don't want him anymore? " she asked still can't believe my words.
"No. Now please don't disturb me from now on." With that, I left a pale Amy who just looked like she had just seen a ghost.

It was lunchtime, and after eating, I came to the rooftop. Of course, it's not allowed, but who cares? All this time I just heard people gossip about my sister and Taehyung . On the other hand, Hannah and her sidekicks were confused when my ex-bestie Amy broke the news.

Hannah said I must have been too heartbroken and gone crazy to let Taehyung go. They thought I had gained some depression or any kind of mental illness.

"You'll come back to me for help when you get over this and start chasing Taehyung again." It was her last word to me.

I didn't say anything to hell with them It's not like they're gonna listen to me that I've changed so whatever.

I was wandering around the rooftop to breathe some fresh air. I love rooftops a lot. I was humming a song and walking around, when suddenly my eyes fell on something, or more like someone.

He is too close to the end. Wait! wait wait!!! Is he trying to die... Oh no, it looks like that. .... Shit mannn... no don't die!!!

I run towards him trying not to make noise.

I hold his hand and pull him towards me with all my strength.

His skinny, tall body falls on top of me with a thud. I groan in pain.

His hair and hoodie cap were covering his face from my view. But I could see his body tense. He quickly got up mumbling "Die,, die.. I have to die.. no.. w-why would you save m-me.. I have to die."

His hands were shaking.

I hold him from the back but this skinny dude was wiggling to get free.

"LET ME GOOO,!!!! LET ME DIE PLEASE," he broke into sob, still trying to get free and almost succeeded. Without thinking twice, I slapped him hard, so hard that even my wrist started to hurt. A loud sound of slapping echoed. He fell on the ground with the impact and started to sob loudly.

"Hey", I called softly, and gently placed a hand on his shoulder after a few minutes.

His sob stopped, and he only whimpered. When he looked up at him, my breath got hitched.

It's him.
