Memory is the only thing that kills us. Pandora missed him very much, shocked and surprised because it seemed like it was only yesterday. So quickly, so quickly, in Pandora’s fresh memory, Lay often waits for her to come home from school, often cooks lunch for her because she often goes on a diet, can’t eat food at the canteen, and self-study sessions with him at the library. The love of two people passed so gently and smoothly, but once the sea was calm, there was a stormy day, Pandora did not expect that day to come so quickly, breaking his and Pandora’s love, gone with many wishes, wishes, leaving no trace.
Pandora couldn’t bring herself to take down the pictures on the wall, even though she told her in her heart that she shouldn’t leave them there, they would only make her more tormented and missed, and wouldn’t let her forget Lay. But Pandora couldn’t do it. She still cherished and cherished each of those pictures so much.
There will be a day when Pandora gets old, she will be absent-minded, will forget all the memories of the two of you, but at least there will be those photos, it will prove a deep love that once existed, it will reminds her of a boy who loves her, cares and is gentle with her unconditionally. So that later, even if Pandora dies, the next person who finds these photos will believe that love still exists in this world.
Finding true love in this world is difficult, but Pandora was fortunate to have it but also ruthlessly abandoned it. Maybe... she should give it to a more deserving girl.
Today, Pandora did not cry. She has improved a lot, hasn’t she, she is stronger?

The next morning, Pandora woke up and started her day schedule again. In the morning, she went to visit her father, then went to school, then in the evening, she probed Daniel Forger again and came to “break” his fun.
Waking up, Pandora sat on the bed for a long time, her mind blank. She thought nothing, but just sat like that. Because maybe this time sleeping and sitting blankly is the most peaceful time of her day. Since receiving the additional task of persuading Daniel Forger, every day Pandora wakes up like an extremely heavy stone pressing down on her. Making her so tired that she has childish thoughts, like wishing time would stop, or being crazy but being able to give up everything.
But then thinking is still just thinking. In order for it to become an action, it must also be through the unity of the whole body. But of course Pandora won’t let herself do stupid things. She cleaned herself, finished breakfast, went to the hospital to visit her father, then went to school.
Irene, Yerin and Pandora didn’t go to the same school, but in order to live together, the three of them chose an apartment in the middle and accepted to go a little further. Hospital K is fortunately located on the route of Pandora’s school, but it’s opposite to Yerin and Irene, so even if they want to visit their father with Pandora, they can’t go.
While driving on the road, Pandora’s phone suddenly vibrated. She connected a wireless headset, also because she was busy looking at the road but couldn’t see who the caller was. She simply picked up the phone.
“Hello.”
“Hello, Pandora James.” Mrs. Jessica Forger’s voice rang out, as tender and affectionate as the first day, but today, there was a hint of fatigue in her voice. Is she sick?
But Pandora was inherently unable to manage that much. She immediately replied,
“Yes, it’s me.”
“You did a great job last night.”
Mrs. Jessica Forger did not circle around, but went straight to the point. Her one compliment was enough to make Pandora understand what the purpose of this call was. Once again, she blamed herself for being naïve. There was nothing close between the two sides, nothing else to say except Daniel Forger’s story.
Pandora laughed and politely replied,
“Yes, this is what I should do.”
“Um.” Jessica Forger said in a low voice,
“You just try to do your best. I will definitely not let you down.”
Pandora doesn’t know what “I will definitely not let you down” means here. But at least it will help you worry about the money for your father’s medical treatment, right? That alone made her feel more secure.
Pandora spoke eloquently.
“Yes, thank you.”
“Then I’ll hang up. I’m sure it’s time for you to go to class.” Mrs. Jessica Forger also doesn’t want to bother Pandora’s time anymore. She is also quite a psychological person.
“Yes.” Pandora replied unconsciously, then waited for Mrs. Jessica Forger to hang up first.
She sighed again.
At this point, she had already driven into the school campus. It was almost time to go to school. Pandora quickly found a parking space and went to class.
Pandora studied screenwriting. Her class is located on the second floor of Block B. When Pandora opened the classroom door, suddenly there was silence in the classroom, it was clear that when she was walking down the corridor; the classmate was still chatting inside. They were very noise, but when Pandora arrived, everyone was silent, eerily quiet. This sudden silence and glances made Pandora feel like something wasn’t right. But for a moment, she didn’t know what she had done, so she abandoned everything and entered the seat.
But when she got to her seat, Pandora already knew what had happened.
Her desk and chair were both vandalized and badly painted by some graffiti. The plywood layer was ploughed off with sharp objects, scratched in long lines, and peeled off the wood humus inside. Not only that, there is also graffiti on the table and curse words like “Pandora James deserves to die”, “things that don’t know shame”, “I don’t want to see your face.”, “You have a lot of nerve”... etc. There was also a thick crimson liquid on her chair that looked like blood.
There were often incidents of school violence in middle and high school, fortunately Pandora never experienced it. But unexpectedly, when she went to university to meet her again, she suppressed her anger and asked in a loud voice,
“Who did?”
Her cold voice resounded as if reverberating among the quiet students. Then someone spoke up:
“It’s Isabelle Richart in the television editing department.”
Isabelle Richart? A completely unfamiliar name, Pandora doesn’t know who she is, nor does she know what enmity she has brought against her, that she has such a hoax. Pandora clasped her hands together to tremble, anger building. She really wanted to smash something to vent her anger. But Pandora could not do that. She gritted her teeth. At this moment, the phone suddenly rang, a strange number suddenly called. Pandora immediately picks up.
From the other side came the mocking voice of a girl.
“Hey Pandora James, did you like the gift I prepared for you? You must be furious and want to know why, so I’ll tell you, this time it’s just a warning. The other time after that, if you still interfere in Daniel’s life, I will not be lenient.”
The two words Daniel Forger appeared in his head, and the anger in Pandora’s heart multiplied. Who is this girl? Should a p********e among the girls she taught last night or another Daniel Forger crush? But regardless of her status, this anger, of course, Pandora, will not hold back. She snorted.
“You’re making fun of the wrong person. Just wait and see.” Then, without waiting for the other person to say a word, Pandora directly hung up, then dialed Franky’s number.
He quickly replied.
“Lady, is something wrong?”
“Franky, you’re my assistant now, aren’t you, you once said that you would be there as soon as I asked for it? So now I ask you to immediately go to the theater and film school, block B, borderline class drama N1, accompanied by a set of tables and chairs.” Pandora did not notice whether the other party was surprised or questioned about her somewhat bizarre request. She just looked at her watch and continued,
“I’ll be in class in fifteen minutes. Hurry up a bit for me. The furniture I need is the type of students who usually sit in college classes. Different model, but the same style is fine.”
Franky is his reputation to be Mrs. Jessica Forger’s assistant for so long...
His manners did not disappoint Pandora. He didn’t ask much of what she needed those things for, nor did he ask long questions, just doing what she said. This working style of Franky, Pandora likes him very much.
Staring at her ruined table in front of her again, Pandora felt as if there was a fire of anger burning in her heart that didn’t stop. That girl Isabelle Richart, again hoax with her because of Daniel Forger, now she uses the Forger Family’s own people to give it all back, to see what she will think.
Everyone in the class held their breath and watched Pandora’s every move. They told themselves not to interfere in this matter. Silent observation is golden. Not long after, there were footsteps outside in the hallway. Franky appeared. Behind him were three people in black clothes carrying tables and chairs.
He works really fast.
Pandora was now standing in the classroom. She raised her hand and waved Franky, who was now looking for her, quickly saw her. He directed the people to bring tables and chairs inside.
Arriving at Pandora, Franky didn’t say anything but was attracted to the table and chair beside her. As if he understood something, he frowned.
“It’s the work of a fanatical Daniel Forger.” Pandora raised her voice bitterly, her sing through her teeth to utter two words:
“Isabelle Richart.”
Hearing that name, Franky’s expression didn’t change, but his brows furrowed tighter. Pandora conjectured. Did he already know this person? If both sides knew each other, even better, she would use people from the Forger Family to deal with her. What is she bragging about, trying to win Daniel Forger? Although she doesn’t know who she is, Pandora is still a famous person who is considered by Mrs. Jessica Forger as her daughter-in-law.
