Chapter 1 (Jennie)

                                    

                                          
Jennie's Pov.
I'm Jennie  Ruby Jane Kim, I'm 17 ,I grew up with my mother in Korea but at the age of 10, she sent me to the New Zealand and asked her parents to take care of me because she had to run the company left to her by my late father.
My father died of Cancer when I was 2 years old I don't remember any event in my life with him, I only see him in old videos and photos when I was little. On the other hand Me and my Mom only get together a month in a year and I'm happy  that I can finally be with her from now on.
After I graduated from secondary school in New Zealand, my mother decided that I should continue my college studies here in Korea to be with her and I am the happiest when I found out about her decision.
Now, I'm in a new place . I honestly don't know how to adjust myself but I know I can handle it because I'm the type of person who can easily find a friend. I just look rude but I'm friendly with people I just feel like friends with, hehe.

About my love life? it's not that I don't want to be in a relationship, there's a lot of guys who try to court me it's just that none of them are in slow motion. 
crazy right? Hehehe But really I want to experience what my grandmother says that when you see the person destined for you, everything seems to be in slow motion. I don't even know if those are really gonna happen ,but there is a part of me that wants to experience that.
Me and my mom are in front of one of the famous universities in Korea, I can't help but be amazed by the structure of the school in front of me at first glance it screams wealth and I know that the students here are rich.
I know that my mom is also rich but I feel giddy when I think that I will interact with the students at this school. I only came back from the deep thought when my mom suddenly spoke.

"Now that we're together I'll do everything I can to give you the good life that your dad wanted to give you when he was still alive, I love you Jennie."
At this moment i feel so happy, not because of the good life my mother can offer  but because of how long I have been longing to be with her and now Lord already  answer my prayers. I hugged my mom and I couldn't stop myself from being emotional at these times because of the happiness I was feeling.
"Come with me sweetie  I'll introduce you to my friend who owns a coffee shop here near your school."
My mother  dragged me to a cafe not far from the school.
"really mom ".
I ask her while we were walking
"yes sweetie , she is a good friend of mine."
my mother mumbled.
We go inside the cafe and I noticed that it was not just a cheap place because  this place shows that what they sell here are all expensive. My mom waved to a woman who was almost the same age as her.
"Ohh my Amanda , isat really you .I haven't seen you in a long time." 
The woman hugged my mother.
"Oh God, it's been  years Danica , by the way  this is my daughter Jennie. she will study at the University few blocks away from here "
My mother introduce me .
"Is this Jennie? Oh Wow you're beautiful honey , the last time I saw you were just 6 years old I never thought you'd grow up to be a very beautiful woman , Jennie" 
She hugged me
"Thank You."
I replied shyly to her, Even though some people tell me that I'm beautiful, I'm still not used to being complimented.
"Don't be shy, you can call me auntie, you can hang out here when you're not doing anything don't worry it's free for you" She said while patting shoulder
"thank you auntie,  can i help here when i have free time ? I want to do something so I don't get bored "
Even though I grew up that my mother could support my needs my grandparents taught me how to value money , they taught me not to rely on what my mother could provide so when I have free time I look for a possible source of income. 
Mom knows what I do in New Zealand so she's not surprised when i said that i wants to work here.
"don't need to do that , but if you really want to help, this shop is open  for you and if you help me I will pay for your work"
"thank you auntie"
"so sweetie if you have a problem  you can approach your auntie danica, she is my good friend, I know you can trust her" my Mom tap my shoulder I smile  and nooded.
" Danica please take care of my Jennie , her apartment is just a few blocks from here. I decided to let her  stay on  her apartment because our house is far from this school she might have a hard time on the long trip. She will go home every friday night "
At first I was upset when I found out that I would stay in the apartment it means my mother and I are still not together but i can't do anything, our house is far from this school . I have no choice but to agree , the important thing is that I can still be with her every weekend
"Don't worry about her Amanda ,i will take care of your daughter"
"Thank you Danica I'm really lucky that you're here  to look after my daughter, I know i can trust you my friend."
" what friends are for if We won't help each other."





It's Sunday , after i finish arranging my things in my apartment I lay down on my bed while looking at the ceiling.
Tomorrow is the first day of school and I don't know how I will feel I'm nervous and excited at the same time, I don't want to think what will happen tomorrow so I thought of going to the coffee shop  to get rid of my thoughts. 
After a few minutes walk I reached the shop, when I entered I immediately greeted auntie Danica.
"Good evening Auntie, i feel bored  I don't have anything to do in the apartment  it's still early to go to sleep,I just want to spend time here."
I said to her as I kissed her on the cheek.
"Of course Jennie, you're always welcome here "
She smiled at me 
"Thank you, auntie "
"Your eyes have a grade?" she frowned maybe because the first time she saw me i was wearing contact lens.
"yes auntie, I was just wearing contact lenses when we first met." I reply.
"you really beautiful jennie , even though you are wearing your  glasses i can still see your beautiful cat like and expressive eyes ." I just smile shyly I feel embarrassed every time someone compliments me .
My vision is a bit blurry in the distance, I have a contact lens but I just prefer to wear my glasses in regular days because sometimes  I'm so tired that I forget to remove the contact lens and I fall asleep while wearing it. so I only wear it when there are occasions and parties, I wear glasses on regular days
And i'm the type of person who loves fashion,  I love dressing myself  especially when there are occasions and parties to go to, but  most of the time i'm lazy to fix myself so I often just wear shirts and pants, so people who don't know me think I'm a nerd,  better because I hate attention.
