Girl Trouble - JENLISA (completed)

Chapter 3: Confused

I  moved to this place thinking I'd finally get to taste the beauty of  freedom I didn't have my entire life. I grew up following my dad's  footsteps. My whole life, I was made to be the next CEO of KM  entertainment. My father would take me to investor meetings, production  sets and talent auditions. I've witnessed how he treated people like  shit. It's true, the company wouldn't have been successful as it is now  without him running it the way he did but I didn't think belittling  people was necessary.

I've  always wanted a simple life away from what he does. But my life was so  controlled to a point I didn't have a say in anything when it comes to  decision making. From schooling, to friends all the way to boyfriends.  Well, I didn't exactly experience having a boyfriend but I did have  suitors. A lot actually, but as you can guess, if their family aren't  wealthy enough, that meant, they aren't good enough for me. Well, for my  father's future plans anyway.

At  first, I've already accepted the fact that I really won't have a normal  life, and that I will never get away from my fathers plans but that  changed when I met my friend Jisoo. You can say she saved me from the  hell I was in.  From the beginning of it all, I met her thru a game and  we became buddies ever since. We started talking about life and she  started giving me advices. She was almost like this elder sister I never  had.

She's  a game developer and she knew I needed an out at that time so she  offered to help me out and let me try becoming a beta tester. With that,  I started making money and have been secretly saving money so that I  won't have to depend on my fathers' wealth when the time comes. Little  by little, I was able to do that. I bought an apartment unit and paid it  in full so I have a home I can call my own.

It  was cozy and quiet through and through.  It's not the typical apartment  complex that had a bunch of units per floor. This one only had two and I  was more than happy with it. I was told that the person that lives next  door is very friendly and her last neighbour complained about this  person being too happy. But I was also told that the previous owner of  my apartment was an old lady so she could just be a grumpy person.  The  girl next door is almost the same age as mine so I don't think I'd have a  problem with her. 

I  was actually kind of relieved to know that I only have one neighbour.  That means I don't have to introduce myself that much and I almost  looked forward to see a new face other than the people I already know.  But as soon as I saw the person that lived next door, I suddenly almost  felt like hiding all the time. She's ridiculously attractive. I don't  understand how she gave off that extreme charisma. It's as if every  flower would bloom every time she passes by. I got too shy to even start  up a conversation or better yet, introduce myself. So I've decided to  forget about all the introduction and just stay in my unit as much as  possible so I can work in peace. I was able to do that and avoid her the  entire month since I moved here. I basically hurried my way out when I  needed to go so she wouldn't have the time to make small talks.

She  gives off that vibe that I don't like feeling because it's far from  normal. I feel like I would stutter if ever one day she decides to talk  to me and there's no way out. I almost prayed everyday that day wouldn't  come but a knock on my door arrived one day. I didn't know what to do.  Should I open the door? Or should I just leave it until she finished  knocking? There's just no one else that would knock on my door other  than her.

"Ahhh,  crap, here goes nothing." I said to myself and opened the door. "Oh,  hey! I almost thought no one's here." She said. Shit she's even more  attractive up close. My mind was racing. I looked at her confusedly but  not because I was wondering why she's here. I've been expecting the  inevitable to happen. I was confused because I don't know what I'm  feeling right now.
