Author's POV:
She scrunched her eyes in discomfort as the morning sunshine filled the room. Her mom nudged her a bit before calling her out...
"Wake up, will you? Its already 6:30 now! Don't you have a student council meeting on 7 today?"
As her mom said this, the teenage girl quickly sat up on the bed but felt dizzy..She murmured..
"Right..The meeting..I'll see you down mom.."
Her mother nodded and went downstairs to continue with her chores. Jang-mi got up from her bed and did some stretches, relieving her tightened muscles. She rubbed her eyes as sleepiness still clung to her from staying up last night. She looked at the mirror and noticed how messy her hair looked. She sighed before making her way into the bathroom, totally annoyed by the fact that she has to go on with day...

Kim Jang-mi had always been a genius with a messy vibe surrounding her. A member of the student council and currently in 11th grade, she was a young girl known for her charm, humor, and goofiness. She possessed a never-ending energy to explore her interests and was never too lazy to get things done. Despite being a total academic genius, she had other plans for her future. She didn't want to be a doctor or an engineer..But a k-pop idol..That was her dream! She had always liked to entertain people and her sweet voice never failed to flutter one's heart. She took great interest in writing songs but they were always left unreleased as her parents criticized her of her dream...

She tried to get ready as soon as possible as she had only thirty minutes..She ran downstairs after grabbing her bag..Her mother looked at her in disbelief before speaking..
"Your hair..Its really messy! Are you going to school looking like that??"
"I am not..But I need to have my food, no? Can you please do my hair for today?" - She asked her mother while trying to act cute. Ms. Kim smacked her head gently before speaking again...
"I wonder what you'll do without me..You're a total mess without me by your side.."
Jang-mi just giggled as she chewed the pancakes quickly, trying to eat them as fast as she could. She then bid her mother goodbye after washing her mouth. She ran to the bus stand as fast as she could. Fortunately, she caught the bus. She panted heavily as she sat on one of the seats.
The bus conductor walked towards her for collecting the bus fee. She bowed slightly before taking her purse to pay the fee. To her disappointment, she found her purse empty. That was when she was reminded of her careless spending on getting a cute plushie from one of the street claw machines. She sighed, wondering how she was going to pay the fee. That is when a voice, familiar to her spoke..
