“I know you’re Junmyeon hyung’s fan, I’ll let him talk to you, in one of our sessions.”
Thinking about it, I’ll get the job which entails a huge amount of money, I’ll have 3 wishes, will have Baekhyun as my access to Junmyeon and most of all, I’ll have a chance to talk to him. As for him, he’ll not be in trouble with the company. This is a win-win for us.
“Fair enough. Okay— “
“But I also have a condition, work with me, here in Korea.”
I was unable to respond because of the offer.
I was still contemplating about what to answer when he interrupted.
“Okay! My five minutes is up, I’ll give you time to decide, maybe until the day after tomorrow? See you on our Session tomorrow!”
He ended the call while humming.
If this thing happened before I met Kim Junmyeon, deciding upon this matter is easy as 1-2-3.
Before meeting Junmyeon, my whole world revolved around my job, whom I love, and my cheater boyfriend, Ex, I mean. I was contented with the life I have. I thought that I have everything that this life can offer.
Money. Lovelife. Freedom
I came from a wealthy family, but things started going south when my father died. My parents are each other’s one true love. They were so in love and I am one of the witness of how much they love and cherish each other. And I have been taught to love deeply and sincerely when I grow up. Shortly after my father’s death, my mom followed.
When my mom died, I was left with the care of my aunt. She doesn’t have her own family despite being on her 50’s already. She was kind and sympathetic at first, but after discovering that all my parents’ money was put on Trust and it can only be granted to me once I reached 25 years old. She began mocking me, telling me that I am a burden to her. She made a record of everything she spent on me, until the last centavo! She’s reminding me every single day that I should pay her for everything money she spent. I cry almost every day because of missing my parents and of the bad treatment that I am receiving from her. I realized that no one can love me more than my parents did.
I am 20 years old when I graduated from College. I went to the ceremony alone, but I was okay. The past years taught me that I can be happy without other people’s love. I survived living with my aunt for so long, that much won’t affect me anymore. I learned to care less. I started working my ass off, I want to escape from the hell that I am in so badly. I had double job, I accepted online jobs, just to pay my debt off.
Before my 22nd birthday came, I talked to my aunt and made her sign an agreement. I agreed to pay her everything she spent on me for the last five years, with interest. I thank her for being with me when my parents die, but as usual, she only cared for the money. She left home on my 22nd birthday, with the money I gave her, never saw her again to this day.
That day, I cried while celebrating alone, not because of sadness. It was tears of joy. At last, I am free.
The whole experience taught me that I am tougher than I thought I am. And I learned to value little things that made big impact in my life, like hard-work, professionalism, and proper mindset. I learned to be content when I have so little, so I value every cent that I make.
Months after that I met Patrich when our push carts crashed while I’m doing my grocery shopping and we immediately recognized the spark. He asked for my number and the rest was history, until I caught him that afternoon. My peaceful and contented life was shaken. And there I met Kim Junmyeon.
