(The past)



'   "Hey, Yona, what do you want for your birthday?" Namhyuck asked, a mischievous twinkle in his eye as he nudged Taehyun, who nodded eagerly in agreement.

Yona blinked, momentarily taken aback by the sudden question. She hadn't thought much about her birthday.

"I... I don't know," she admitted softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "I haven't really thought about it"

Tae flashed her a reassuring smile, his eyes brimming with brotherly affection as he side-hugged her. "Well, you better start thinking, little sis! We've got plans to make this the best 13th birthday ever!"

Namhyuck chimed in, his grin widening. "Yeah! We could throw a huge party with balloons and streamers, or maybe we could go on an adventure together, just the three of us"

"Really? I would LOVE that!" the girl clapped in happiness.

"Whatever my baby sis wants" smiled Taehyun

"Whatever?" she asked

"Whatever."   '


I open my eyes smiling, at least I had a good dream this time, a dream of the last happy days of my life.

Since my 13th birthday, everything had changed to the worst. You see, I was a very loved girl, I had parents that could do anything for me, two older brothers that loved me so much, very good friends, a very fancy life, basically a good girl who got whatever she wanted, but all of that had changed.


First, my friends had to leave, then that hell of a day came and I lost everything, my family, my house and my very beautiful look on the world, I slept in the streets for so long, I had to move and run away from a city to another, that's how I ended up in Seoul.


At least now I have a room, even if it's  just a room and a bathroom, not even a kitchen, I'm managing in a way. I have to work at a coffee shop and a bakery, part time jobs have saved my life not going to lie, they're a big help when it comes to paying my rent, or else I wouldn't be able to afford it. 


Every morning, I wake up and think I'm going nuts, I talk to myself, repeating motivational speeches my brothers used to tell me, trying to make myself feel better, it isn't really working anymore. 

I'm just going to close my eyes again and hope I wouldn't open them next time... Screw that damn alarm, I'm going to be late.


I finally got out of my bed, today is going to be a long day, the first day being a senior in a new high school, a fancy one may I add, very thankful for my scholarship, and my hard work most of all...


I used to enjoy going to school, but it has been hell for me the last 3 years, students love to bully me or shame me, thats why I tend to stay always in the shadows, far away from people, because sometimes I can't fight the urge to punch them in their faces, with a chair, so I end up doing just that. That always gets me into serious trouble, especially since I have a scholarship now, I shouldn't be put in a bad position. 

What angers me the most, is the fact that my bullies never seem to get any sort of punishment, that's on being poor, lucky me.


Sometimes I understanding their insults, because as a girl, I sadly don't look like one, I wear baggy clothes, the problem is not the baggy part, my clothes are ugly, and I hate being bodyshamed. 

I got my bag, my keys and ready to go, a normal person would probably say: What about breakfast, well I never really eat anything because:
1- too much time
2- too much money


And my hair is always tied in a weird looking messy bun, not the cute ones people see on pinterest, just an ugly lazy one.


After my 30 minutes walk, I finally arrived to school, and I already feel tired, all I could do was wonder; don't these girls get tired too? Always gossiping, judging people by their looks, and nanny Boba asks me why i don't have friends.

I realize I might be ugly, but it sucks to hear it each time.

To tell the truth, I feel lonely, a lot, but that's how it is, I've experienced many bad things that I just want to be alone, I'm too afraid to make serious connections again. And now I got to go find out what my classes are.


I go directly to my classroom take the last seat on the corner far away from everyone -especially the teacher- in front of the window, and I'm ready for another year. There are few people in this class already, looking at me, some of them already judging me, the routine.


Suddenly I hear noises and girls shouting, wait do these barbie girls really fight? They look too soft for that.I look out the window, oh its not a fight? 4 black expensive cars, some other barbie girls I guess, but then too many, and when i say too many, i mean TOO MANY guys get out of them.

Wait, barbie boys? Anyway.

They look rich, the cheers of the crowd mixed of boys and girls now are getting louder, I guess they're really famous, are they superstars or something?


"All of this for a bunch of boys... aren't they exagerating?" I mumble

"They're so cool what are tou talking about how dare you disrespect nct?"

"Nc... what? Whats that?" I say without looking at that bratz doll shouting at me, what is wrong with people here, they're acting straight out of a netflix show, embarassing.

"Ugh why are all the new girls rather dumb or weird" she looked at me then said  "or both" she then stormed out of the class leaving me there alone with a confused look.

she thinks she ate?

"They're really popular, you gotta get used to seeing this every morning from now on" said a guy that I haven't noticed in the class before, chuckling lightly at his own statement, he looks too old to be here, may I add.

"Every morning? Cliché much" I look out the window again seeing the guys walking inside the school.

"It must be annoying..." I say almost in a whisper, but I'm sure the guy heard me since he started laughing, after all, I could feel his face inches behind mine.

"Yuta" I turned to look at him, he had an adorable smile on his face.

"My name is yuta" he kept looking at me, as if he was waiting for me to introduce myself too, and I did.

"Yona, I'm Yona

"Well it was nice chatting with you, Yona" he says before leaving the class.


Well, that was an interaction...

Too many events and the teacher isn't even here yet, I wasnt wrong when I thought today would be a long ass day.
