Just The Way You Are

Chapter 7

Eul POV

"Bye!" I bid goodbye to them as I started walking out from there then heading back home.

My smile never fades away, it was kept curve on my lips. Kind people like them are rare now a days and I am glad I met them. What if they didn't defend me that day? Everyday are like a h*ll for me, everyday I'll head home with bruises, and maybe I won't see my self smile again. But now, I would.

Let me tell you a story about a young lady who grew up without a love and care of her parents, even if that girl efforts of doing anything just to make them love her. Why? They never accept her being born as a girl instead of being a boy which they wanted. She has a older brother but they aren't close.

>Flashback<

"YOU USELESS CHILD! WHY DON'T YOU LEARN FROM YOUR BROTHER, HE'S MORE USEFUL THAN YOU. YOU'RE NOT MY CHILD, I DON'T HAVE ANY DAUGHTER! I ONLY HAS A SON NOT A DAUGHTER! LEAVE OR I'LL PERSONALLY DO THAT!!" harshly yelled by her father, his finger is pointed at the front door of their house gesturing her to leave. Her own father kicked her out, the only house where her so called family lives.

The corner of her eyes gradually shred tears til her eyes are full of tears, slowly escaping her beautiful eyes falling down her cheeks. Her eyes becomes fluffy and redden, Her eyes shaken. The thing she never imagined to experience this early. Although, her father already disliked her, he never decided to kicked her out, but that's before and now it really happened which she feared the most.

The first things she could think of were; where she will go now? How she will live? Why her parents hate her just because she's a girl? Is there a chance her parents would finally accept her identity?

She wanted to cry loudly, maybe doing her dad will take back what he said and live normal like before. She already agreed living in the basement and become their personal slave, if that's what it takes to stay there, just to don't kicked her out.

The young lady though of her mother or her brother backing her up but unfortunately they joined his side, even whispering to her dad something like 'Don't kick her out. She's still our child', she waited but she never did what she thinks of. She just saw them hover on the corner as they watched her being kicked out without even doing anything to stopped him.

'What did I even expect?' she thought silently. Alone she suffers inside but that doesn't dragged her down, it became motivation for her instead she stood up on her own feet without any help from her family. No, that's not her family, the moment they just watched her leave, she never considered them as her family anymore. The young lady have been through everything from her birth til now, but what hurts the most is they kicked her out.

Out of choice, She decided to live independently. She's force to work in a part time job to earn money for living. Successfully, she rented an apartment which is perfect for her budget. She's also lucky to be enrolled in a prestigious school in Bangkok, thanks to her scholarship. Not only that, she's able to slowly fulfill her dreams but also to live without being controlled by someone else which is her biggest achievement she received. She's proud of her self.

>End of flashback<

How unfortunate she is, right? Well, too late to pity her. Cause, now, she's happy living in a peaceful life alone without anyone dominating her. But the only things she wished for herself, is to had someone who could encourage her, pamper her lovingly, relays on someone, and most importantly, someone who could call her family.

I arrived outside of my apartment, i was surprise to see a crowd of people gathering around the building and gossiping about something which I couldn't heard of. So, I squeeze myself in and let myself see what's going on.

A heat of huge fire welcomes me infront, most of the building already got burned out by the fire and that includes my rented apartment on the second. I stared where it was and my legs weakened, it was fully burned out along with the rest. I couldn't think straight, what about my things!? It's still there and probably burned as well with the important things of mine.

"How am I supposed to live now?" I mumble. I couldn't afford to buy another apartment to live in and I don't even have enough money to bought my daily needs, half of my savings are for school expenses. "What am going to do?" I cried desperately.

I asked the landlord if I could take back my money on the last month's payday but she refuses and leave. The only choice is to spend my savings for another rental apartment, but I would bring those savings back. First thing to do is to search for another part time job if I wanted to.

"Eul?" Someone called out. I turned to see who and, "Mr.Wang!" I exclaimed. "What are doing here?" He stared at me then glances at the burned apartment, I live before. "I... uh.. I live there..." I pointed out. "But, it's destroyed?" he said which confused him. ".. Yeah, before..." I added. I shyly lowered my head, i can't directly looked at him. I am already embarrassed.

"Do you want to live with us for a while?" He offered. I raised my head and refuses him, I already bother them before. "Or you want to live in the streets?" He negatively saif. "Come on. Sky would be happy if you live there"

"Are you sure, uncle?"

"Very"

And that's how I ended up, living with the Wang's.

                                                                   ⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️

"Oh, dear. I glad to have you here, so don't worry much, hm?" Ms.Wang said as she held my hands. "Let me bring you to your room" Ms.Wang pulled me at the second floor which is where the guest rooms are located.

"Suit yourself here. I'll call you out once the dinner are ready" she said the make her way out.

The whole room was nice and much better than the rented apartments, and much more likely a hotel but simple ones. It's even better than my old room. It was bigger for me, two more persons could still fit on the bed as well as the bathroom, clean and shiny and the bath furnitures are here.

"Even bath furnitures are that expensive?!"

I surely did forgotten about that...

Lucky enough, I had a spare clothes kept in my bag. So, I walked in the bathroom and change inyo my spared clothes. 

That surely refreshen myself.

I sat on the edge of the bed to dried my wet hair which is dripping wet on both floor and the bed.  After that, I wipe out the wet parts to avoid slippery floor or I might got stumbled later if I don't wipe out.

"Eul! Dinner is ready! Get down here" Called out by Ms.Wang. "Khap, Ma'am!"
