Hello, my name's Jisoo. I'm 22 years old and I'm an adopted child living in Seoul, South Korea. My dad's a carpenter and my mom just stays at home and cooks.

I work in a Chinese restaurant just to make my own money as I don't want to pressure my parents for money as we're not so wealthy.

I have a sister named Jennie who I love to death, since she is the only person who understands me. I also live with my grandmother who I call " Amma" but she hates me as I am an adopted child and she always humiliates me.

She only cares for Jennie as she says Jennie is beautiful and smart, whereas I'm the opposite. Jennie would always try to comfort me whenever I was bullied, she was my best friend, my everything... But little did I know that the person I loved the most was soon going to become my worst nightmare...

It was a bright Sunday morning and I was awoken by Amma beating me with a wooden spoon shouting, "Wake up! You useless piece of trash!"

" She's awake! Can you please stop Amma!" Jennie pleaded. Amma then stopped and barged out of the room. She hated that Jennie cared for me.

" Good morning," Jennie greeted me.

" Morning," I replied, with a small smile in my face.

You would expect me to cry, but I was used to the
pain as the same thing occurred every morning ever since I was seven.

" Amma said we have to do the laundry," Jennie informed me.

" Okay," I said. We then went down to the kitchen where we were served breakfast. Well, Jennie was served breakfast, Amma usually does not to give me any... Wonder why.

Usually Jennie would have to give me her plate, then ask for another one for herself. After gobbling down our breakfast we then skipped to the front porch where we had to get the clothes, fold them and pack them away.

" So, have you thought about auditioning for YG yet?" I asked, breaking the silence.
" Yeah, I just need to master the song," she replied.
" What song did you choose?" I questioned.
" Lotus flower bomb by Wale," she answered.
" Oh, cool," I said. She wants to be a Kpop star and I wanna be a doctor.

" You should audition too, I've heard you sing in the shower, you have an amazing voice!" She exclaimed. I would like to audition, but the only thing is that I'm... Shy. Yeah, shy, I guess you could say. People think I'm stuck up but I just really don't know what to say.

" Even if I do audition, I doubt I'll get accepted," I said.

" Whatever you say sister," she sighed. We finally finished folding clothes and we then had nothing to do.

" Jisoo," Jennie said, " You should go out there, like go clubbing with me sometime, meet a guy, get a boyfriend, live your life, ya' know?"

" Thanks for the offer, Jennie," I thanked, " But, I don't think I'm smart or pretty, according to Amma."

"Will you stop with the negativity?!" She exclaimed, throwing a pillow at me. Honestly, don't think I ever will...

( Tao's POV )

My father is the CEO of the biggest company in South Korea and my mom died of cancer. I'm 23 years old and I have to go to this carpenter's house to meet his two daughters. My father wants me to marry one of them, but I doubt they'll like me for my personality. Most girls just like me for my good looks and money.
