* JIN POV*
Grrrn,Grrrn. The alarm clock sounded again. I sighed and sat up on the bed. I pulled off my pyjamas and tied a towel around my waist and then headed for the bathroom.
I didn't stay long in the bathroom, I just dried my hair and applied some lotion. I was done dressing up and so I headed for the dining. Good morning young master. The maid greeted.
Mom came downstairs. Dad was never at home, always on one trip or the other.
Our handsome Idol. Mom praised. Did you sleep well? she asked. I just nodded.
I'm so sorry that I couldn't say a word to you yesterday. she apologized.
It's fine.
Silence.
I got up and went out. Be home quick honey. I heard mom say from behind.

Eomma juseyo(mother please) I need a little more sleep delivery was so stressful yesterday. I begged half-asleep.
Aigooo! it's 7:45am Anna and you are still on the bed. Mother exclaimed.
I jumped out of bed and fidgeted with my night wear. Good morning mom. I said briskly. I jumped into the bathroom and took a quick bath,dressed up and hurried over breakfast.
See you later mom. I said aloud as I rushed out of the house.

TREASURE HIGH COLLEGE
*ANNA POV*
Gosh I'm late. I kept on repeating. Anna, where have you been all these while? Mel asked while hugging me from behind.
Aigooo! don't tell me you are just waking up. Mel snapped. Just your first week at school and you've become a latecomer. She continued and slapped my head.
Ouch. I winced in pain.
Did the idol come today? I asked her. Mel rolled her eyes at me. Don't tell me you are already in love with him. she whispered.
Mel! I screamed. It's just that he acts strange. I said calmly.
Uhn,uhn,well he's strange. Mel responded. News have it that he has a very dark past. she continued.
You can't be serious. I said in curiosity. We walked along the hallway chattering.
And one more thing. Mel said as she stopped abruptly. This time around she said in whispers. His girlfriend was murdered by unknown but some say he never had a girlfriend that he is a psychopath.
A psychopath? I repeated in an alarming tone. Shhh. Mel cautioned and we looked around. He must be going through a lot Mel. I said in a sad tone.
Yeah, I feel for him too but we can't help. Hey, Me Gilbert mustn't find us here,let's go. Mel finished and we raced down to the classroom.
THE CLASSROOM
* ANNA POV*
I couldn't concentrate in the class. All what Mel told me at the hallway was quite disturbing. My thought was cut short as there was screams in the classroom.
Gosh! Is this school cursed with hot guys? I wondered.
Darlington! I heard some girls scream.
Oh his name is Darlington. I thought again. Hey. Mel punched me playfully. That's one of the hotties and rich dude in the school. Beware of him, he's a Playboy and he doesn't care having a night stand with any girl within his reach.
I gulped and kept a straight face then his gaze fell on me. Why mee???......... I screamed in my head. He winked at me. First I bumped into the idol, now it's a Playboy. Am I cursed?
I held on my seat tightly and pretended not to see him.
Mel. I called without tilting my head. Yeah honey? she responded. He just winked at me. I said, scared. Does he want a nightstand now? I asked in anxiety.
Come on silly. She said and gave me a knock. Don't be so dumb, he flirts with girls he has this flirty nature.
Uhm!(punch)
Ouch! Mel!
Clear off your silly thought silly! will you?
I'm innocent.
The bell rang for closing and everyone went home.

*JIN POV*
The memories came flooding in. I can't forget it. Why did she leave me? Why am I this way? Where could she be now?
Bang! The sound of the gunshot. I didn't know when I screamed. Mom came rushing in. Jin! Jin! can you hear me?
All I could see was shallow figures.
She was right there, I couldn't save her eomma. I screamed pointing at a blank space. Mom held me tight now. I could feel her tears drop on me. Jin stop hurting yourself. She said sorrowfully. Let go of the past. she cried.
We will go to the therapist. She said affirmative. No mom, no, noo. I don't want to go. I'm fine. I stood releasing myself from her strong grip.
Jin, please for God's sake let's go to the therapist. Mom pleaded. I said hell no mom, stay out of this. I shouted.
Yuuna, please get me cold water Jin is not in his right senses. Yes ma'am. The maid bowed and left. She was back in a few minutes with a glass of cold water.
Calm down and take some sips. Mom offered. I took it and gulped down the content. The atmosphere was tense. Until I heard mom's sobs before I came back to my senses. I sat down. Mom came closer I looked up to her and she stroked my hair and drew me closer like she never wanted to treat me for anything.

M,om in this new school I feel like it's a must for me to get into trouble. I complained while packing the used plates. Hmm,why did you say so? mom asked. Firstly.... Aissh. I said why struggling with the chinawares. Firstly, I bumped into an idol, now it's a... it's a playboy his name is Darlington. I spilled out. Mom smiled. Relax baby, with time you will adjust just make sure you don't get into trouble or dirty games. Do you understand? Mom advised.
Uhm, yeah. I beamed.
Mom is never the type that would shun mature talks that was another reason I love her. Wash up Ann so new customers will be served. Yes mom. I replied.
