My Apprentice

Chapter 2 - The Wish

JISOO's POV

I checked my watch as I pull over inside the Park's residence and saw I'm 25 minutes early to my scheduled dinner with them. I sighed, this been a habit of me, being early, yes I'm not "that" good in other terms because I do have my fair share of shortcomings not to mention me being a play girl. Of course I'm aware, I'm not proud but I don't deny that. But other than that, when it comes to work I could proudly say that I'm all professional. I tend to do my work 100% or if not more than my 100%. It's cocky, but that's the truth.

I walked slowly towards their front door wishing for the time to be fast but no, it just took me 5 minutes walking from my car to their big wooden double door.

I knock softly. I'm already familiar with the place since I been here for more than once, doing errands for Mr. Park. Though the first time I went here my jaw literally dropped to see how huge their house, no scratch that, their mansion is. You see I'm also from a well known family but my parents live a simple life. Growing up I've been exposed to all the hardships of life, that's one of the reasons why instead of working under my family's business I am serving the Park's instead, it is for me to prove something, not for my family's name nor my parents but for myself. I want to be that someone who can tell her child in the future that

"Hey, your Mom did a good job way back then and not just depended with your grandparents." I want to see that they're proud of me just like how I'm proud with my parents. Don't get me wrong, I do took advantage of our wealth as well, like what I've mentioned I'm not that goody type at all.

So I guess you can now tell where I used "those" privileges I'm talking about? Girls of course. I mentally grinned.

After a minute I heard the front door opening already. I step back a little and saw one of the Park's helper, little helper, actually she's a daughter of one of their trusted staff.

"Ella." I said smiling already. "You're now a big girl?! Woah!" I teased.

"Yah unnie! We just saw each other last week." She complained.

I chuckled.

"Aww really? I thought it's been a year." I said and hug the 7 year old kid and she hug back. "How's school?" I asked after we pull away. We're now walking towards Kim receiving area.

"Same, same. The one you taught me? It worked." She said smiling. I'm close with this kid. She's talkative so when she saw me one time dropping by to get some files for Mr. Park she approached me immediately and from then on we do small talks like this one. Now we're pretty much inseparable when we're together. She's like a little sister to me.

"Wah! That's what I'm talking about, that's my Ella." I said feeling proud while ruffling her hair which she immediately fix while complaining.

"Unnie!" She complained and I just laugh. Well she was bullied, she can't tell it to her parents, they'll get worried. You see Ella's studying in one of the prestigious school here at Korea, courtesy of Park's family. She's proud that she's a daughter of one of the staff of Park's so she never tried to hide it. Though mean people exists every where including her school so when other kids found out about that they all bullied her telling her to leave the school since she's an outcast, cause she came from an average family. When Ella mentioned it to me I want to give those kids some good beating, I mean you're all born with privilege and rich already why can you treat other people good? Or the least shut your mouth up. I'm fuming that time but Ella here just laugh at me telling I'm ugly when mad. This kid, ugly really? Me? Kim Jisoo? The Hottest? The Player? I doubt that. But yeah, this kid is really something. I realized sometimes those people who came to average and middle class family are more well mannered than those educated people trying so hard in blending in on what's the society telling them to be.
