Hello! I'm Eloise Kim. An eighteen-year-old girl, And yea I'm still in my Senior year. Recently My father got transferred to Seoul, currently 'a new and unknown World' for me as I've never step out my foot from Jeju
Island. I had taken my admission in Yonsei University.
A new journey, And A new starting. I thought, my life in Seoul would be superb, But Seems like, I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG!
It sucks when you are late for your college on your first day, and then You mistakenly spill your drink on your skirt, not able to make any friends and get bullied by other students. And then the biggest problem, YOU FORGET YOUR WAY TO HOME and get stuck in rain, your money gets Stolen, and you can't even raise your voice Cause somebody wants to r*pe you?! All sucks right?
But who's gonna save me from getting r*ped by a drunkard? HEY! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME. OH GOD!
I heard a voice. Someone kicked that perv's balls. Yeah. But who's that?
"Hey, Are you okay?". Said a Boy in a gentle voice.
I couldn't see him as his face was half covered with a cloth.
"Um, yes."
He gave his hand to me.
"Who are you?" I asked.
He didn't reply, instead he threw some punches on the drunkard's face who was trying to get up and attack, maybe.
"Hey. Who are you?" I asked again.
"Firstly. U didn't thank me for help, and..You are even asking, who am I in a rude manner. Funny, isn't it?" He said.
Wait. Did I sound rude?
"I'm sorry for my rudeness! And yes Many Thanks for your help and Saving me. Can you tell me who are you now?"
"So Impatient.. Someone helped you, and you are asking who's he? Ha! Shouldn't you be thankful that a stranger saved you?"
"I'm Thankful! Really! But also curious" I replied.
"That's A secret"
"What? A SECRET?"
"Yea"
"Ok...Can you tell me your name then"
"That's A Secret too!"
"What the-" I almost yelled. "Okay fine. At least can I see your face?"
"Haha! You really don't know about the meaning of Secret"
Suddenly, I don't know what happened, With a swish, He was gone. Deep in my heart, I wanted to follow him. But didn't know where he had gone.
My heart was throbbing. From just a look I could tell that he was kinda handsome boy with a nice body, pretty eyes, arogant behaviour and blah blah!
Finally, I found my way to home.
That night, I didn't sleep well, thinking that, Everyone has their own secrets, that they want to hide from the world. I have too and... He had too.
I really wanted to know that who the hell is he.
Gee! I'M GOING NUTS!
What the hell is happening, Why do I want to Know about him, Why does he keep tingling in my mind?!
Is that...My personal Desire? Or a secret Of my desire, That I'm not able to figure out...
*Eloise's POV*
SHIT MAN! I haven't Slept the whole night, and now I've gotten huge dark circles under my eyes like a panda. Ugh. I want to jump from the building. It's 7:30 AM right now.
What Should I do. I'm really desperate.
Yea. I should text her

YAYYYY! I'm really glad that Amelia is gonna stay with me.
My phone rings. Oh. Call from father. Why is he calling me.
I picked up the call.
"Hello?"
"Eloise." He goes on. "I've something important to tell you."
"Um" I said.
"You are moving to your new mom, I mean your step mom's house."
What. What is he talking about. Step mom? (I was shocked.)
"Dad? What are you saying." My voice trembled.
"Yes, I married a women who live in Seoul, She's Natalie Seo. And That's why we are here." He replied.
" W-Why. Just why. It haven't been a month scince mom left. And you already." I couldn't control anymore.
"Eloise. Calm down. I did that only for you. So that you Don't feel the absence of your mom."
Lies. All lies. I used to miss my mother when she was there. No one cared about me then. Why now?
"Haha. Really? Dad stop lying. My mom is not dead. She is still alive. I can talk to her whenever I want. I don't have to feel my mom's absence, cause she's alive." I stated.
"Child."
"You have NO GUTS"
"SHE HAS NO GUTS." He scowled.
"Huh?"
"She leaved you. Did she even think about you, do you think she will pick your call?"
My mom and dad weren't a happy couple. We were not a 'happy family'. When I was born, my mom and dad, both, wanted to abandon me. But my grandma denied their decision, and bring me up. I lived with my family thinking that one day we will sit on that couch together and spent a happy family time. But nobody had enough time for me. My mom and dad were always busy with their work. Nobody cared about me. My grandma passed away when I was 9. After that, arguments between mom and dad raised. Arguments changed to Violence. My father used to beat my mom. She wasn't also the one who would stay quiet. She also raised her voice. They were still together, in a violent relationship. 8 more years, they were together and Finally got a divorce last month (Still it's not been a month yet). Mom left us with my father. I turned eighteen last week. So I don't need someone's custody anymore. I wanted to live alone (I was already alone though). But my father refused (I've no idea why, cause there's no way that he's concerned about me).And now, He just married another women, telling me to think of her as my own mother. How can I?
"I don't Know." I replied.
"Ha"
"You...said that you married for my sake. Really?"
"Yes childe"
"Hahaha" I chuckled. "You are concerned about me right? Did you even ask me once, that if I do feel the absence of a mother or... I want a step mom? To be honest, NEVER! I never wanted... Okay that's fine. You married for your daughter's sake, thinking that she will need a mom to bring her up. Can you also divorce her for my sake?"
"..."
"No reply? I knew it. These were all Excuses."
"No-", He insisted.
"Then Why? Why did you marry NATALIE SEO? For money? For your desires? Or for personal debt? Just Why?", Tears rolled down from my eyes.
"ENOUGH ELOISE"
"What enough? Tell me. I want to listen the truth."
"I've my own Reasons." He said.
