Since my childhood I've always been studying. Yeah! I was really into books. But wait. Before you call me a nerd, let me tell you that i am not really like that at all. Infact i am pretty popular in the school for being an energetic and active person. I am also popular because they call me pretty.yes! me and pretty. ha ha! You must be thinking, "who? pretty? you?". ha ha ha! krrk krrk! my nose makes that sound when i laugh sometimes.he he!
so, yeahhh.. i am just too good in everything. i am good in my studies, i can sing, i can dance, i can write, i can draw, i can even cook pretty well and a lot of other stuffs. While everyone is pretty amazed that how i manage to be good at all of the things but i am devastated inside about my life!!! what i will do! where do i actually want to take my life? i am a mess.
So, i am pretty busy in all these and my life is all about that.i feel so much pressure of being good in a lot of things and the expectations that come along with it. oh god!
Amidst all these and so much boys wanting to date me; so much girls envying me i have only two friends. Mona and serin! These two cuties are my babies! Because they are the only people who bring fun in my life. Also i don’t have any boyfriend.I am too busy in all the classes i have to take; all the family functions i have to attend and all the things i have to do.Some think i have a secret boyfriend in other school, but no!! these boys from other school, they just appear a lot of times infront of me with flowers and chocolates! that's so embarrassing! i hate attention!
You may think i am pretty happy with all the things but trust me i am not. I really wonder if all these attention and chaos weren’t in my life and i was just like a normal person. how it would be! You maybe thinking i get these attentions only because of me. But no.The attentions are more because of my family!!!
Let's talk about my family.My father Mr.Zivan Yoon is a famous Doctor and my mother Mrs. Angie Yoon is a writer. They both are more like a celebrity and less like a normal Mom and Dad. I have a very handsome little brother! His name is Sivan Yoon! Sounds just like my dad! But he is not good in his studies at all! But you know what? Nobody gives him any pressure to improve in it. Such a free soul and also popular one among girls for being handsome.😒 I guess serving look runs in the family.😒 My parents are very good looking. Also pretty succesful!
So, i am the one on a pedestal confused about what to do with my life whereas my board exam is right around the corner.And not to mention all the pressure i get from my parents ofcourse. God bless me! he he he! Even if i do well in the exam i really don’t know what to do next.😒
That's me! And my life? It's complicated! Oh! I forgot to introduce myself.he he he!
I am Lisa Yoon. I'm 17 years old and it’s me from the year 2014! We will meet again soon when I'm in the year 2021! I hope you’ve grown into an wonderful person that year.I hope me too! See ya there!!!
I'm so tired. I think it’s all the running i've been doing back and forth for the past couple of months! I can't imagine finally i see a hope to land a job. I hope i will be able to go see my parents this time without any shame! urrghhh! Anyway!
This calls for a drink!!! Lemme go change this tight fitted skirt and wear my comfy sweatpant!
I can't find my slipper! Ah! found it! Let's go!!!
Lisa enter's in a small restaurant.
Granny! How are you? Give me a bottle of soju! I will toast it with you!! 😉
Granny: You! why are you here again? Are you here to cause me a trouble again? Don't sit here! Go drink somewhere else! All my customers will go away if you start drinking here!
Lisa: Granny! How mean! You know how much i love you! I have finnaly landed a job! I am not here to celebrate after my one hundred and sixty ninth failure! My one hundred and seventieth trial has been a success! oohh hoo!!! granny! Give me a bottle of soju! And your spicey chicken fries! Let's drink! 😄
Granny: That mean's you will stop coming here after today? What a nice news to know! come on! let me toast a drink for this! The prick will finally leave my restaurant!
Lisa:I know you love me, granny! I have no one in this city without you! My parents both are abroad right now and honestly i don't even know when they come back and leave! I only know they are here when they call me to see! And my cute little brother has left me here and went abroad when he finished his high school. We both were in the same school, we were so close. And now we have'nt seen each other for over five years! I am so lonely granny! I have only you!
someone slowly coming from behind and grabbed Lisa's back...
Mona: Oye! What did you say? You have nobody? What? Now that you've landed a job, you have decided to leave me? That's what i get after years of feeding you and having your back? ohoy! I can't believe it! This has hit my self respect! ohoy!
Serin: Calm down, calm down you both actresses! i know how extra you both can be! one is an over actress when she is drunk, the other one is an over actress even when she is sober! What will i do with these two! 🤦♀️ Now, the star of tonight's show, my dear Lisa! Come here baby! I am so proud of you! All your hard work has finally paid off! Now you can finally give the rents of your apartment without scratching me! Nice! I am so happy! Let's drink!!!
Mona: I truly believe in "hard work pays off" now! After seeing Lisa fail so many times i had lost my hope that she and i will live the same life as being two jobless lifeless young ladies living in a men's world! I remember i couldn’t date any guy because i looked too shabby and poor! I know i look like crazy! But Lisa being such a pretty girl and having such a hectic past of being so good at everything and popular among students she was totally lost for so long time! Lisa, i thought if you can't do it, then i surely can't! But today you’ve inspired me! you have given me hope! i will also find a job and earn my own money and stop living off of you guys!
Serin: Big talk, blabbermouth! I've heard it too many times that now i don’t believe you! Don't upset my girl making her remember the past! Let's celebrate the present! we are too young to worry about so many things! Lisa, i am so happy for you! cheers!
Mona: I'm happy for you too Lisa! cheers!
Lisa: Thank you guys! i love you both so much! Cheeers! ha ha ha!
serin: let's eat...
Lisa: Wait! wait. I've a special guest i want you guys to meet. She is someone i met back in 2014. She is here to see me!
Mona and Serin looks at the front and says,
hey there! Nice to meet you!
Lisa: Nice to see you again! You look wonderful! wow! Thanks for coming to see me!
I hope we will keep in touch!
Alarm rings...
"Oh my god! It's 7 a.m. already. Today's my first day at work! I gotta get ready! Today's the big day!
I gotta brush, i gotta wash, i gotta dress, i gotta rush...
Run Lisa run!!!
What should i wear? Hmmm.. Let me think. A nice grey skirt pairing with my cute pink top? And a pair of nice heels? Yeah! Let's kick off with it!"
Mona: Hey girl, Good morning! Today's the big day!! Let me make your breakfast quick! Toast and tea! Here you go!
Lisa: Thanks girl. I am getting late. I gotta go. Wish me luck!
Serin: Good luck Lisa! Show them what you are!
Lisa: Thanks,Bye guys!
Lisa walking down the street to the bus station...
Lisa: Dear God, thanks for finally giving me a light of hope. Show me the way like this. Please stay by my side!
I've tried and failed so many times to get a job that it still feels like a dream. Now i will not look back. I will do more hard work. And be as successful as my parents and make them proud.
Oh! The bus! Hey hey! Wait!
Lisa sees a big tall building that she has to raise her head and bend as much as she can.
Lisa: Oh my god! That's so big! This is where I'm working! I haven’t noticed how tall it is when i came here for the interview. It looks much bigger now. Okay.Here i go...
Beep beep. Lisa check in with her ID.and enters the office building. She walks towards the counter...
Lisa: Hello, Excuse me. Can you please tell me which floor I'm in? I'm new.
Lady : Can you please show me your ID?
Lisa: Yeah, sure. Here you go.
Lady: You're on the 10th floor. Welcome to the Techno Group.
Lisa: Thank you.
"Wow! So cool! These ladies in the counter looks so pretty and well dressed and well behaved. I look, i look, wait a minute! I wore my dress just like the ladies in the counter! That's so embarrassing. Let me walk fast towards the elevator."
Lisa enters in the elevator. The elevator opens in the 7th floor..
Lisa: More people!
Two men enters the elevator..
Lisa talking to herlself..
Lisa: Wow! These men look so professional
That guy with the blonde hair looks young i can't see his face. Only a bit from the side. but he looks mean. The other guy with the glasses looks a bit older.Wait! What you are looking at? Why are you looking at me? I work here.Why has that guy gave me such look? Do i look funny? Or did he think i am one of the ladies from the counter because i've dressed like them? Crap! Don't look Lisa. Don't look.
The elevator opens in the 10 th floor.
Lisa: Excuse me, Ah. Excuse me. That’s my floor.
The guys step aside.
Lisa: Thank you.
The blonde hair guy talking to the other guy..
"What is a lady from the ground floor doing here? There are rules and everyone in the office must follow them."
Lisa walking in to the office of the 10 th floor.
"Wow! It’s so big.There are so many people working here.So, i am finally here to work huh!? Great! "
A guy approaches to Lisa...

Lisa: oh! Sorry Mr. Kang! Oh! Sorry sir! Umm.. Boss! 😅
"Chill out.. Ms. Lisa. You can call me Mr. David. Everyone in the office calls me that.I don’t like being called as boss or sir. It makes me feel distant."

Lisa: Ha ha! No, not exactly that...
Yura: okay guys.Enough questioning the girl for today. You know about Techno group well,Lisa?
Lisa: I guess.. It's a pretty successful tech company leading in the whole country as number 1!
Yura: No. About the rules of this office?
Lisa: A little.
Yura: A little won't work here, girl. The office is pretty strict about maintaining rules. Let me tell you.
This office has 20 floors.Every floor is as big as a playground. Every floor is called Division. The upper your floor is the upper your position's get. Employees from the ground floor are not allowed to go up. Every floor has it’s own cleaner, security, cafe and own employees and own Boss. You go up only when you get a higher position or you are called. The CEO of this company is on the highest floor and he is the founder of this company! There are some high Executives that comes in a while to check everyone's progress. They are from the 19th floor. Never break these rules.Or the scary men of the Scarier CEO will come for you! We really don’t know what's in the 20 th floor. I heard the CEO is very rude and strict. I heard he has only one eye!
Shane: Stop messing Yura! He is fine. She is scaring you. He has both eyes.Except that everything Yura said is right.
Lisa : oh! okay! I'm scared already. This building sounds scary now.
Dobrick: Don't be. You only mind your own business and You're fine. Dont listen to them.
Lisa: okay, guys. Thanks for all the informations. I..I..I think i have listened enough for today. 😅
Yura: Ha ha ha! She is really scared guys.
Shane: Girl, You're fine because you are with the best team.You are with us. We are the easiest people you will meet in this office.Welcome to Techno group.
Lisa: okay.. Thanks. 😊
Lisa murmurs," I don't know what I'm into.Hope everything goes well!"
