Althea Juner is a typical intelligent student yet a lazy one .She basically does't mind when she isn't placed at the top of her class . Her classmates knew she is an intelligent student , no. 1 when it comes to recital yet always late on passing some projects or activities that lead her to get an average grade .

She is a normal girl who has a crush on a student younger than her , always buying foods on the cafeteria near the classroom of her crush . Yet , when she matured she suddenly became interested on animes , manga , lightnovels and etc. and so she lose her interest towards 3d boys anymore .

Althea is a TKD player so she knows how to defend herself , after she became an otaku her personality also changed into a calm , cold , composed and matured lady . She encountered some gangsters on her way to home . She is not rich and her house is located at the squatter area so delinquents isn't really that rare . When the drunk delinquents saw the lonely student passing by they tried walking near but to only be surprised by a sudden powerful kick . The 24 years old man drunkard was thrown towards the road . All the delinquents stared dumbly towards the 14 years old girl who beat up their brother .

The girl stared coldly towards them and spit out .

"Disgusting" She disdainfully said and continued walking only to be hit by a bottle of beer .

The wine broke as it crushed into her head . The little girl stopped her legs as she closed her eyes to ease the pain she felt .Blood dripped down her face as ...

an unexpected scenario suddenly happened .

She died

The dunkards stared in horror at the cold corpse lying down on the road with a pool of blood .

--

When Althea was still gritting her teeth to ease the pain on her head she suddenly felt that her surroundings became awfully noisy.

As she opened her eyes , her eyes widen with shocked expression except that her mouth isn't opened .

' w-where am I?' she thought using English language

She roamed her eyes and is shocked to see tall buildings and people talking foreign languages .

As she tried to guess what country she is now standing in, she realized it's Korea! . Music invaded the whole area as camera occasionally flashes taking some pictures on the bustling streets .

She can even see people blogging and facing their camera while standing with their friends and laughing like crazy .

When she looked down at herself her body became even more taller , her ****** grew bigger and her waist became more thinner too .

She reached out her phone to see her face but to be surprised she looked like a 17 year old teenager .

She was sure she is still 14 years old though , is what she thought . She tried logging in her original account on social media only to find that she died . She died! , news about her spread throughout the neighborhood exclaiming some condolences for her parents .

Her mother abroad send a lot of messages towards her , clearly depressed and hurt about her death . She didn't dare to read her message . She knew that it'll only look suspicious if her account is online so she turned off the icon .

On her timelines , her classmates and friends tagged her retelling her the best moments they had spend together . She snorted

'fakes!'

Photos of her are being tagged , she felt so embarrassed even though she didn't go to the after life .

Her current body looked like what she'll look like when she'll grow up . She don't know whether she have another identity here or she entered a body that has similar features to her dead body .

When she reach out to look for an ID she came to know her name isn't Althea but Cha Hae-in and currently a high school student .

Although Althea still doesn't know her situation , having a bit blurry memory made her feel a bit at ease .

Cha Hae-In doesn't have a good relationship with her parents , and she's living alone on her apartment working on a part-time job at the Coffee Shop nearby . Her family situation is poor and they treated her badly.

Cha Hae-In is a complete opposite of herself . If she calls herself an intelligent student then Cha Hae-In is an average/mediocre . When she calls herself lazy then Cha Hae-In is a hard-working woman . When she calls herself a matured and cold girl then Cha Hae-In is a shy and scardy lady .

Even not all of her and Cha Hae-In's personality or habits are the same they still have same interests .

And that includes being a Weeb!

"That's good then"

Althea headed towards her Apartment and saw the cleanliness of the place , she can't help but sigh since she really is a lazy person . She hope that she could get some determination to change her laziness .

Althea is still a 14 years old girl inside that's why she doesn't know what to do first . When she checked the refrigerator she sigh in relief that she still have stocks to eat for a month she won't starve as long as she won't abuse the food .

After , she checked her savings and saw that she still have a large amount of savings that hasn't been touch yet , she felt relieved .

Still her worries have still not washed away since tomorrow is Monday and Monday means school .

She wanna absent really bad but yet didn't dare to do it . A bit anxious since Cha Hae-In is a target of bullies .

Althea decided to wash her body first and contemplate about this after . As she finished washing her bodies she opened her bag and saw Cha Hae-In's notes .

It's also a relief that Cha Hae-In is a hard-working students that's why she wrote a lot of notes every class .

Althea is still a 14 years old but she actually  learned this lessons already . As a perfect student when it comes to recitations she literally studied advance even though she is a lazy girl. The only problem from her is that .

She passed projects after deadline!

Althea has a very good memory that's why she could remember and recount every lesson she have read before and recite it to the teacher without fail .

As a Filipino girl it's another relief for when she came to know that she can speak their language .

She knew 4 languages , First is her mother tongue , Second Tagalog (Filipino) , Third is English , and Fourth Korean .

She felt very proud about this . She refocused again on reviewing for tomorrow's lesson .

The clock hit the no.12 as Althea yawned out of tiredness . Rearranging her notes back to the backpack she entered the bathroom and washed her teeth and went back to the bed and sleep .

As she opened her eyes , sunshine illuminated the room through the glass window . Althea smiled brightly for the first time . The bed was so soft that made her mood good .

As a poor girl , she doesn't sleep on a soft bed but on a bamboo floor with a thin bed sheet and quilt . She used to be so poor that she almost cried since this is her first time living a bit luxurious . Though this is really nothing towards the normal people here , but to her this is already a luxury .

"Did I really live so poor that this made me to almost cry?"

[The mc is using korean language]

Althea readied herself for school and cooked a scambled egg for her breakfast . She also made sandwiches and is already enough for her meal .

She loves food but she is already satisfied with this . Having live so poor how could she be ungrateful to God? 

She drank her milk and ready herself for school .

Althea look at the uniform and smiled wryly . This uniform could even make her awe with just this . She didn't waste time anymore and headed for school .

The school is an International semi-private that's why the tuition fee is so hard for Cha Hae-In to pay . Cha Hae-In did not dare come back to her family to ask them to pay her tuition fee but instead find a way for her to pay it .

Althea felt pity towards Cha Hae-In . After all , Althea is cared by her parents , she was once an only child and loved by her parents .

After having siblings , she started having a responsibilities to take care of her siblings when her parents aren't at home .

She also experienced hardship in life . She experienced starving so many times , crying and felt so sad towards her father since he caught mother cheating on him .

She also caught her mother talking through a phone with an unknown guy . Seeing a text of I LOVE YOU from her mother's phone .

Yet she still love her mother , who wouldn't love a mother who rewarded her an Ice cream when she placed at the top of her class? She also felt the warmth and love from her mother .

On contrary , her Father is cold and doesn't care about her that much .

Her father was a genius that she even developed an inferiority complex towards her father . Having been called a girl with lack of common sense whenever she tried to ask him about math problems or meanings from a deep word . She had felt the pain that time , she was so clueless and still a 7 years old kid!

She felt so scared towards her father . When she became 8 years old , she didn't dare asking him to help her anymore with her studies .

She heard that in his times , there's no high technology yet and could only search for answers on a book . She felt so angered towards him , she wanna complain that they were a different person on a different timeline .

She also experienced depression . When life really felt so hard on her , she could only smile and look above with tears silently falling on her cheeks and prayed to God that she is still thankful towards him .

After so many hardship with just several years of experience .she had become matured and discovered new things through internet .

Within just 14 years of her life , she felt like she had become a proper Lady already with lots of experience .

Knowing that Cha Hae-In had experienced hardship , she could only wryly smile .

How could she endure such hardship and treatments? If it was her she would really spit dozens of profanity towards those parents . Though , she wouldn't actually dare since she had not EVEN once spit profanities towards her parents directly on their faces.

She hadn't reached the rebellion stage yet , but she could still think that what would she rebell? She has been so religious BEFORE and know the right path for her .

She doesn't have interest on catching her parents attention since she only felt so cringey about it . As long as she felt their warmth she wouldn't rebell . As long as they wouldn't treat her like trash , she wouldn't rebell .

Althea had always been so grateful to God that her parents hadn't hit her like a punching bag before .

Ah! She forgot that she was beaten with a stick since she roam around the neighborhood like there's no tomorrow .

Her mother even wanted to isolate her for a whole year , yet she didn't actually care that she is isolated .

She felt so worried before that her skin had tanned too much! So she didn't mind .

As she didn't realize it , she is already standing in front of the school . Immediately walking inside , remembering her class is surprisingly easy .

There are a lot of students inside already and when she entered the classroom , dozens of hateful stares are directed at her immediately .

She stared at them with boredom and took a seat at her chair . She smirked at the unfamiliarity of the classroom .

This is what you usually felt at the first day of school
