"The chancellor invited you??" Eunji exclaimed, her eyes sparkling in amusement , shoving herself on me when I pushed her on the side of the bed nodding. Giving me a side hug, she squealed, shaking me in the process which made me giggle.

We were at my apartment to do a sleepover together since Eunji's mom was out of the city for her business. She decided to spend her night with me and I couldn't agree less.

Laying straight, facing the ceiling over us as we both smiled, our hands resting over our stomach. "I am happy for you Haerin. Finally, your self esteem is getting high, you really changed for good." Her effusive words caused my lips to turn upward into a soft smile that couldn't fade anytime soon. Reaching for her hand I placed it over mine which took her off guard for a second but later she went with it.

"All thanks to you Eunji, the way you supported me all this year, made me become the better version of myself." Looking at each other we shared a grin together as I felt gratitude for her.

When I came to Seoul, it was not easy for me to settle here. The environment of this big city was different compared to the place I spent my whole childhood at. She stood by my side in every aspect. She was just that friend I was gifted by God for.

Holding onto the white palm sized box of cream pie which I baked myself, I nervously looked upfront once the driver told me we were almost near Mrs. Lee's mansion. My feet were continuously tapping against the car's mat until the driver suddenly pulled the break causing me to almost fly away from my seat, but I balanced out.

"Miss, we are here." My gaze shifted to the huge metallic gate in front after he informed me. Beside the gate were huge walls coloured in white which were surrounding the whole mansion, preventing it from being exposed to the world.

Not soon later the door opened itself as they navigated it to open for us, revealing the beautiful palace-like mansion in front of my eyes which got me awestruck. The driver drove the car inside driving through the long concrete lane that led to the mansion's front door. Both sides of the lane existed in a beautiful garden contaminated with colourful flower beds which made it look like some fairyland.

My eyes sparkled with a small smile on my face as I admired the alluring site in front of me. Finally the car stopped as I walked out of it, giving a small bow to the driver as he greeted me back smiling before driving away probably to park the car.

My eyes captured the beautiful house that seemed like a palace in the modern world. Fixing my cardigan as I gripped onto the white box before pressing the bell. Waiting for a few minutes finally the door opened revealing a lady who peeked from the door looking at me.

"Yes?" She probably found it odd to find a stranger, which made me quickly pull a quick smile on my face before I answered. "I am Kim Haerin, Mrs. Lee told me to co-"

"Oh yes, Ms. Kim please come. Mrs. Lee has been waiting for you since the morning." She flashed me a kind smile, opening the door fully for me so I could enter. Giving her a small bow I stepped inside, greeted by the enormous beauty of the house that was hard to contain in one eye.

It was so huge that I could imagine myself getting lost every second here. The lady who I think is the servant gestured for me to follow her as she led me towards a part of the house which I guess was the living room. My eyes couldn't look straight as they were falling over every piece of item and stuff organised in here.
