Good education, good marriage, good income. That was the holy trinity for an aristocrat.
And that was the world he lived in.
Author's Note:
I have two terms for y'all :)
Old Money: A term for those who inherit their wealth. They tend to keep money in the family, invest in long-lasting material goods, plan rather than act spontaeneously. It is very important that their family stays on top.
New Money: A term for those that earn their weath themselves. They spend their money freely and enjoy flashy and lavish things. Networking is a must for them.
Excerpt:
She watched as Renjun shoved his book into his bag and grabbed his sleeve. "Where are you going?"
Renjun sighed, sitting back down. "Can I tell you a secret?"
Sooah nodded her head. "Sure."
"You're probably going to get up and leave after you hear this but I'm a scholarship student. I didn't pay a single cent to get into this school."
Sooah's eyebrows furrowed at Renjun's words. "Why would I leave for that? If anything, I think that's pretty admirable, that scholarship is almost impossible to get."
"Oh." Renjun said, leaning back into his seat. "I guess there is a difference between New Money and Old Money."
Huh? New Money and Old Money?
...
"Where's Jaemin?" Haechan asked. Jeno shrugged.
"He's probably at our lockers. Look for the blond with a cup of coffee in his hands." Jeno said, looking around the halls for any signs of his best friend.
Sure enough, Jeno spotted Jaemin standing at their lockers, a cup of coffee in his hand. The male gave the cousins a small smile as they approached and Jeno noticed that Jaemin wasn't alone.
"Jisung? You're in college already?" Haechan exclaimed, immediately recognizing the member of the Park family from their family gatherings.
"We've been talking about this all summer, you nuthead." Jeno said, lightly smacking Haechan's head. "We're already in our third year and Mark's graduating this year."
Haechan shook his head. "Wow time passes quickly."
"I think we have bigger concerns though." Jaemin said, narrowing his eyes. "Do you smell that?"
"Smell what?" Jeno asked, looking at where Jaemin was looking at but he only saw a crowd of students he had never seen before.
