❝ Prologue

Hello, readers. Let’s start with the most cliché introduction ever. Allow me to ask you a thing. Have you ever got a dream in your life? Well, that maybe sounded stupid to you since I’m pretty sure that everyone has it – their own dream. Some maybe want to become rich people; living a fabulous life with branded car, staying in a very mighty mansion and even having a stable job which promising such a big penny. Some also might strive the best in their life just to be on top of the world, where everybody could see them as someone popular or well-known. That possibly is your dream but for me, I’m having such a simple dream within my heart.

I dream to be normal, just normal. I want to live normally and smile happily every single day. I want to cherish every moment in my life with my beloved one. If you take your time to know me, you might say that I’m the luckiest person in the world for having such a perfect family. My father, Kim Jonghyun, is one of the most famous and favorable politicians ever in South Korea. My mother is just a housewife but she involves a lot in community. I have two heroes in my life, the older one and the younger one – Kim Jae Joong and Kim Jong Dae. Jae Joong isn’t my biological brother but I love him as much as I love my real little brother, Jong Dae.

Well, enough about my family. It’s not them that I wanna talk about. I have to admit that growing up in an extremely wealthy family is an award for me from the God above. I’m very much grateful to Him but despite born with silver spoon, deep inside, I’m just a plain Jane – the ordinary Kim So Eun. I told all of you already, I just want to be normal. I want to live like any other people did; growing up, going to school, entering the college, working and building my own family. I wish to have a man in my life who will love me, care for me and always be there to share his everything with me. As simple as that, my dream is all about.

I started to have this dream since the day when I received something special from my mother. I was 10 back then where I remembered sitting on the bench inside the garden of my house – my mother and I were having a small talk.

“So Eun ah...” I glanced sideway when I heard her voice, gently calling for me. I grinned to her.

“Yes, omma?”                                                                                                                                                                           

“I want you to keep something for me...” she said as she waved her fist playfully to me. I furrowed curiously.

“What is it, omma?” I asked in thrill while she laughed shortly. Then she dropped her fist on my lap before opened it up to reveal something tiny. I looked closer on it and my eyes widened in excitement when I saw a pair of glittering silver necklace with its locket shaped as a key. I gasped to my mother.

“Omma...it’s so pretty...” I praised, clapping my hands. My mother laughed again but then she circled her hands around my neck and clasped the necklace to me. I blinked and tried to push her hands away.

“Omma! What are you doing? I thought this necklace is yours...” I refused to her as my hands struggled to take the necklace off but my mother shook her head and she grabbed my hands. She entwined our palms.

“No, honey...I want you to keep this with you...this is the necklace that your appa bought for me when he first proposed to me...asking me to marry him...” she smiled broadly by the memory. I curved up my mischievous grin too while winking to her.

“And why must it be a key?” I pointed my finger on the locket. She chuckled.

“It symbolized the key to his heart...he gave it to me so that I’m the only one to keep his heart and love forever...” I giggled as she explained. We broke out laughing again before I sighed and the necklace, staring down on it.

“You love appa so much, don’t you?” I guessed, looking up to her and mother smiled warmly on the necklace. Then she gave me a nod.

“He is the best man I ever own in my life...that’s why I want you to treasure him and love him no matter what...keep this necklace with you...someday, when you finally found your own prince charming, then give this necklace to him...as a sign that he will own your heart forever...”

We exchanged meaningful smile to each other before I nodded to her, marking a promise in my heart to wait until I find a man that will truly love me equally like I did to him – just like omma’s pure love to appa. That was when my dream started...

But everything changed 6 years later.

When I was 16 year old, omma was no longer there. She died in a car crash 3 years before.

But I needed to be strong; my life has to move on. One of the inspirations for me to live cheerfully again was when I met my first love for the first time. I was only 16 and excited of the feel to love and be loved.

His name is Choi Tae Hwang. He was my classmate during our high school year. Right on my 16th birthday, I wished to bring him to my house. I wanted to introduce him to my whole family, appa and both of my brothers. It was on one fine evening when I brought him back to my house after we finished school. As soon as we entered the living room, we were greeted by appa and Jae Joong who sat together around the couch. Appa was eyeing Tae Hwang up and down suspiciously while Jae Joong was glaring to him.

“Appa...Jae Joong oppa...this is Tae Hwang...he is...my special friend...” I introduced Tae Hwang to them and Tae Hwang quickly bowed to both of the men. Jae Joong smirked but he didn’t say a word. He simply got up from his seat and disappeared upstairs.

Tae Hwang stole an uncertain glance to me before I laughed to break the awkward tension.

“Emmm...how about you sit first? I’ll be right back after this...” I offered as I pushed Tae Hwang to take his seat across from appa. I looked up to him, signaling for appa to say something and he simply nodded his head – his expression was still serious and stern. Tae Hwang grinned to him and lowered his there.

Then I ran upstairs, wanted to get the necklace that omma once gave me. I intended to give the necklace to Tae Hwang that day, in front of my appa to prove how much I loved this boy. But as I climbed upper, I heard appa started asking.

“What is your full name?” I stopped for a while to peek on them. Tae Hwang looked quite miserable to answer him. Why? I didn’t even know either.

“Choi...Choi Tae Hwang...” appa frowned as soon as he heard him.

“Choi?!” his tone that slightly raised was making me to startle a bit. But I chose to drop the matter and resumed walking to my room. I rushed to get the necklace and when I found it, I quickly ran downstairs again. But my legs had frozen on top of the staircase when...

“Please, Mr. Kim! I am sincerely in love with So Eun! Please don’t do this to us!!!” my eyes widened once I witness the scene before my eyes.

There, in the middle of the living room, appa had already stood up with a gun held up high in his right hand. But it almost gives me a heart attack when he was actually pointing the gun towards Tae Hwang! My father smirked but he kept silent. I wanted to stop him, I wanted to yell at him, telling him that murdering someone is extremely the most cruel crime but even before I manage to, I saw a bullet already flew out straight from the gun and...

“BANG!!!” it hit Tae Hwang straight into his chest. Blood was splattering everywhere as I watched helplessly when his body dropped to the floor. I became perfectly still and paralyzed. I didn’t know what to do, how to move or what to say. I could only stay there as I watched the soul of my first love, slowly leaving his flesh. That was it, that was how my pure dream was taken away from me – simply by a gunshot.

I tried to be normal. I tried, I knew that I would give my everything just to live like an ordinary person but...will destiny allow me to?
