Another rejected marriage proposal , it's been like this for the longest but I don't understand why should I get married ? I'm still a kid th-

"Mom why do I have to wait Cheryl to get married? Taeyong wants to get married already but we can't because of that stupid Cheryl " my sister said frustrated interrupting  my thoughts "She is older , we have to send her off first don't you understand ?" my mom told her and Mina looked her in the eyes "Really  do you thing anyone wants to get married to an orphan like her ? She ain't even pretty . " after her comment I heard both of them laughing . Little did they know I was standing near the door and heard the whole conversation,even though it wasn't intended to . I placed the water glass tray , I was supposed to bring to my mother on the table got my keys and quickly left the house .

My name is Cheryl Kang , I major in fashion designing and as a part time job I work at the biggest library in town. As for my family , I'm an orphan since I was 7 years old , my biological parents died in a car crush and I was the only survivor . Since then I can't quite recall the memories from my past , my mind just goes blank . When I was 9 , I got adopted by my "parents" , I don't want to go against their will since they gave me a roof and helped me when I most needed it . But when I turned 15  the love ,the care ,the support they gave me for all this years slowly fade away ... I don't really mind though , I have learned how to survive on my own ...

MINGI'S POV 

I woke up feeling stiff , I fall asleep on the couch again . Suddenly I heard scratches on the door , I grabbed a milk carton out of the fridge and headed towards the door I open the carton by ripping it a little and gulped some fresh milk , I put the rest in to a small bowl . I opened the door and there was the small cat standing with big eyes  " Here you go kitten . " I said bending down to place the bowl in front of her , I saw her drinking it and I smiled satisfied . Ι heard steps on the stairs and I saw a girl with black hair , round glasses and a red short floral dress climb down the stairs . She looked up and our eyes locked ,her hazel eyes could hold the whole universe in them , her cheeks instantly turned in to a pinkish color making her look 10 times cuter , I smiled lightly at her , when I felt a cold breeze hit my chest and then I knew why she was blushing , I was shirtless !

Seeing her innocent look I decided it would be better for me to enter my apartment . I quickly got in and closed the door leaning against it , a smile escaped my lips thinking of her flustered face .

CHERYL'S POV  

Why isn't luck with me today ? The elevator doesn't work and I have to take the stairs from the 8th floor . I started climbing down the stairs and when I got to the 4th floor I saw a a shirtless guy squatting down and  feeding a little kitten , I try to avoid looking at his direction but as I got closer our eyes met , I felt a blush creep on my cheeks and internally screamed at how stupid I must have looked , I avoided his intense stare but when turned back he was nowhere to be found . Alright I saw and heard enough for a day let me get to the library .

The day passed by quickly , it was a regular,quiet day even though I had many books to organize that were brought from America and around Europe . Before I got off from work I bit goodbye to all my colleagues and stepped out . I stepped outside the library and I heard a loud horn and turned around to see my dad . Unlike my mother , dad is caring and loving , he was the one that wanted to adopt me in the first place .

My dad went to park the car and I waited outside of the apartment complex , suddenly a group of men and the landlord came out of the building frustrated . "Oh hello Jaejin and hello Cheryl " they greeted us and I bowed a little . "Did you hear it Jaejin ? An ex murderer moved in to our complex , he seems like a total punk and he has a big attitude , I wonder how he still gets new girls every night " one man said and smirked . " Be careful of your daughters . What was Miss Annie was thinking when she gave the house to him? She was such a good woman   ... Anyway if i see something or get complaints I'll throw him out " the landlord said . My dad just nodded and bit the goodbye and we entered the building going straight to the elevator "Dad the elevator doesn't work " I told him "Why don't the fix the elevator before butting in someone else's business ? " I laughed at his remark from the conversation earlier .

We were currently on the 4th floor and we heard a plate or a glass break from inside the apartment " WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT TO BREAK UP ? AFTER ALL THE PLEASURE I GAVE YOU ? I FUCKING HATE YOU , YOU ASSHOLE! " a female screamed from inside and the door flew open , revealing a woman in a rather messy state until I looked at her carefully and realized who she was . She was one of the top designers and makeover gurus in whole Korea , I looked at her shocked "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT ? " she snapped and the smell of alcohol lingered around the air ,she seemed pretty wasted . My dad ignored her and we climbed up the stairs .
