As I stared at the ceiling in shock, I made a decision. A decision that will probably change my life forever, I decided that I'm not going to be the girl I was before.

I'm not going to take nonsense from these people, from anyone actually. I also decided to show myself at their party tonight to celebrate my 'own' death.

I took another risk and quietly sneaked into my dad's room, got his wallet and took some money out of it. I'm going shopping, 'For what?' you may ask, 'You just died, I don't think that should be your top priority' you're probably thinking right now.

Of course, if I'm going to make an entrance, I have to make to look good. All, I have are hand-me-downs with holes in them.

I quickly sneak downstairs and out the front door, I call a cab and make it to the mall. I wonder around a little, I don't know how but when I looked up I found myself at a purple-themed store.

'Beautiful' the name of the store. I used to go here with my mum, after a long day of school, my mum would bring me here and we'd shop together. After she died, I never came here again. Who am I kidding, I wasn't even allowed to leave the house.

As I got into the store, I was suddenly engulfed in a big warm hug. It was Zia.

"Oh my gosh, Jaechul!" she exclaimed filled with excitement, still hugging me. "Where have you been?" she asked with a hint of concern. She doesn't know about my mum yet. When my dad held her funeral, he made it private. Why? Because he has a stupid reputation to maintain. Stupid.

"Come in, I hope you have time because we have some catching up to do" she giggled with excitement. I wish I could stay but I need to get back home before Sookyung and Dongbae. "I'm so sorry Zia but I have to get back home early" I reply in a sad tone as I walked to a rack of different dresses with different shades of blue.

"OK, OK, Let me see your mum at least" she said looking around for my mum. I could see a little hint of disappointment displayed on her face, Almost so uneasy to see but I could see it clearly seeing as I technically did this for a living. I don't know how to tell her but I don't think I have the time right now.

"Sh...she's not with me today" At least I didn't lie, right?. "Really?, That's a first" she said with a little shock and disappointment. "I'll come back another time to catch up". she nodded.

I walked up to another clothing rack scanning through the clothes with my eyes until my eyes stoped on a dress. I picked it up and headed to the dressing room.

I stared at myself in shock. I can't remember the last time I looked so good or the last time I even wore such a beautiful dress. It was a short, black, sleeveless dress. It made me feel nice so I went back to Zia, bought the dress and went back home. I check the time to see that it is just 2:30pm so I decided to take a nap

I wake up to the sound of music and people chattering around downstairs.

It's almost showtime.

I take a quick shower, put on some makeup, the dress I bought earlier and... "Beautiful".

Love GLoWS.
