lalisa manoban's pov.
hello. i am lalisa manoban, CEO of manoban industries.
let me tell you a story.
when i was in highschool, my family moved in a small town in south korea. we were the front of newspapers when we first moved because of how wealthy we are. my family owns a company back in thailand. and we are planning to build one in south korea.
i have a little brother named kunpimook. my name really isn't lalisa, it's pranpiya. i just changed it when i got older.
my family had a really hard time making friends in that town because people are quick to judge. they thought that we are arrogant and mean because we're rich but we are the complete opposite. they never knew that of course because they never interacted with us.
except our neighbor, the kims.
they are the most welcoming family in town. our families became really close friends. on weekends, we would chat and have barbecue.
the only friend i had was jennie kim, the daughter of mr. and mrs. kim.
we were classmates and bestfriends. everyday, we would ride our bikes to school together, we go home together.
we do everything together.
i already knew what i like back then. i like girls. mom and dad knew about it and they were supportive.
it wasn't hard to fall in love with jennie. she was almost perfect. she have those expressive unique eyes, a cute little mole under her left brow, her sculpted nose, plump lips, and her fluffy cheeks.
it's crazy how i still remember how she looks. i don't think i would ever forget the face that i first fell in love with.
i confessed to her. then she told me that she liked me too. i was over the moon. i asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes. her mom and dad approved our relationship and oh, i was the happiest girl in the world.
everyday i fell deeper. there's not a single day that we weren't together.
i love her so much.
every night, we would open the windows of our bedroom and just talk about everything. before we go to sleep, we would blow kisses to each other and giggle like crazy.
she became my everything.
everything was perfect until the day of our graduation.
my family invited the kims over for a celebratory dinner. jennie and i graduated highschool together. our parents were so proud. the night was going well then suddenly my parents announced something.
we are leaving and had to go back to thailand. jennie was heartbroken. i couldn't look at her, i don't want to see her cry.
she walked out of the room and i had to follow her. we only have a few days left together and i wanted to cherish every moment before i leave.
we cried and cried. it hurt me to see jennie sad. tears running down on her face was the last thing i wanted to see.
i talked to her. we made up and promised that we will write each other letters and call from time to time.
i didn't know what i will do if i lose her.
the day of our moving out came. the kims came to the airport with us to say goodbye.
jennie was sad. i was too. c'mon, i am leaving the love of my life.
our flight was called and our families were saying their goodbyes.
before we entered the plane, i gave her a teddy bear. my favorite teddy bear. it had a recorder inside.
every night, i would write her a song and record it on the teddy bear. she loved it when i sing for her.
she bawled her eyes out after pressing the button. i couldn't stand seeing her cry and i can't miss my flight.
i gave her a tight hug and kissed her for the last time. because i wasn't sure if i would ever see her again.
that was the last time i saw her.
i didn't keep my promise to write and call her because i had to help with the company as my father is getting old. my brother was too young to manage the company so my father trained me to be a CEO.
time passed by and i slowly forgot about her. i became busy with the company and my adult life.
she was erased from my memory until the day i moved to my house. i still have the suitcase i used when we went to live in korea. i looked at the things inside and saw old clothes and a shoe box.
i opened the shoe box and almost cried.
it was jennie's gift for me. she gave it to me before we left. i smiled and carressed the old photo of us.
we were so happy.
so she is the reason why i am single up until now. she was erased from my memory temporarily, but never from my heart.
now, i am back in korea to manage our company here. the manoban industries.
my father died after i finished college and mom is too old to hold the company. so i took responsibility.
it's been a year since i started searching for jennie kim and i haven't got any luck, until now.
but i'm not gonna give up.
once i find her, i'm never gonna let her go again.
