One Step To Paradise

Chapter 49:

Eunji's POV
Note:3 days to prom

"So... How did you and Taehyung met?"

Oops.. here it is..

"We-uhh... ahm.. the usual cliché stuff... met at high school.. crush.."
I giggled nervously.

She seriously will judge me now...

"Hmmm... that's cute!!"
She smiled sincerely..

This girl-

"Well, how did you two meet? I'm sure he fell in love at you right away since you have good looks."
I chuckled.

What I didn't expect was, she frowned.

Okay is there something on what I just said?

"Hmm...no.. well, I was the school nerd and whoever comes near me, will get hurt or get into accidents. Everyone hates me and they always bully me.."
She sniffed, her tears threatening to fall.

What? I thought her life was so much better than me..

"And Taehyung is one of them. He uses me to entertain him... He makes me believe that he's not one of them.. that he's my friend."
She chuckled bitterly and I slightly feel sad.

Ohw.. poor kitten..
Taehyung is such a jerk..
He really is.
Nothing changes hah..

I smiled at her as I pulled her into a hug.

She went through a lot than me.
Now I felt bad for hating and almost hurting her.

She deserves so much love.

She snuggled closer to my hug and I pat her back.

"Well, sorry about that.."
I mumbled.

"That's why I even doubted if he really did love me.. Well, he did apologize about what he did but, does he really love me this time? What if he uses me-"

"Shhh.... No, he won't. Have a little faith in him.. I felt very bad for leaving him just for my job.. But now I see that everything happens for a reason.. And I'm very happy that he found you."
I muttered.

Aish, I guess I have to find someone better for me than clinging on Taehyung so much.

She deserves him better than I do.

"Well, have you introduced Taehyung to your family yet?"
I asked cheerfully as I let go of the hug.

Taehyung is taking too long for water.

"I-uh.."
She glance at the ground.

Did I said something wrong again?!

"My.. my-uh.. how do I say this.. My parents died.. And they weren't my biological one. I just found out that my real parents are here, living with me but I haven't confronted them about it."

Why is her life so complicated?

"Ow.. Sorry."
I pulled her into a hug again.

I'll just disappear, I guess.

"Thanks, Eunji unnie.. You are so kind."

I widened my eyes when I heard that.

Hah...
It's been so long since someone thanked me..

Back at the company of me being a trainee, my life was terrible.

They never treat me human.
