Out of character

Chapter 1

*Beep beep beep*

Get up... you're going to be late

*Beep beep beep*

"Shut the f**k up you piece of sh*t I'll kill you" I shout as I threw my alarm clock against the wall.

Oh sh*t, I think I broke it.

I got up to get ready to go to this hell hole we call a workplace. I still feel very drowsy, I'm definitely not an early bird. My mood is the worst in the morning when my beautiful sleep is interrupted by that annoying alarm.

Just a few more days until I can transfer to a less tiring department. I endure the long suffering of waking up early 5 days a week for this very moment... In a few days my suffering will come to an end.

I stood still in my room for a few minute, laughing every now and then by myself. If someone saw this scene I'm sure they'd think I was possessed.

-----------------

I've finish getting ready in a time span of exactly 8 minutes, I beat my long personal record of 10 minutes, this is a moment to celebrate. It's quite early since I got ready very quickly today, guess I'll just finish my novel, there's only like 2 chapter left anyways.

Hmm... I see... so in the end she got together with the crown prince... I feel bad for the other leads, the female lead always ends up with the prince.

The novel I'm reading is call "None like you". It's super cliché but it's still fun to read. The novel main female lead is Lucia Serik. She's everything a female lead is portray to be, smart, kind, ambitious and naturally attract lots of men.

I check my watch to see how much minute I have left until the bus comes. -5 , sh*t I can't believe I'm 5 minutes late already.

I was so absorb in my reading that I totally forgot about work. At least I finished the novel though, positive thoughts only!

I quickly got my belongings and put on my shoes just enough so it won't fall off when I run. Since I missed the bus I guess I'm running, I'll come up with some excuse for my boss.

My life isn't good but it's not terrible either. Although my parents died when I was an infant from an unfortunate car accident, my aunt raised me with lots of love and care. It's thanks to her that I grew up in a healthy environment and made it this far in life. She passed away a year ago on my 24th birthday. I miss her dearly, but I try my best to live well since a happy life is what she wanted me to have.

I locked the door and started sprinting as fast as I could. "None like you" was a good novel but I feel like it could've been better. I mean don't get me wrong, the prince and Lucia are cute together but...

"atc....ut..."

I feel like Lucia had better chemistry with her childhood friend who became her personal knight later on.

"wa..c.h....o..t"

The person I felt most sorry for was Yulin, such a sad backstory he has. His mother died when he was born and his father paid no attention to him. His father married Lilian for political reasons when Yulin was 8, unfortunately, Lilian was a very cruel women. Yulin grew up without love from his father and with an abusive stepmother, it's no wonder he fell hard for Lucia who was the only one who showed him warmth. If I was his mother, I would shower him with so much love that he wouldn't fall in love with someone due to basic human kindness...

"WATCH OUT!"

Huh?

I turn my head to see a truck inches away from running me over. Right then I saw my life flash before my eyes, and as I thought, there wasn't much to see. So I guess this is how I'm going to die, I never got to transfer to that department. I was so close...

*BAAM*

"Miss! can yo..u..he.r..m..."

I'm losing consciousness. I'm sorry auntie... looks like this is really the end for me, but at least I'll get to see you again.

or so I thought.
