Description

Minzy has always had a rough life ever since her father passed away when she was a young child. Not only does he completely leave her, but he does not leave any posession of him for her, leaving her stranded in that house with a horrid stepmother and two stepsisters. The only person that makes her life brighten up a little is her stepsister, Yoona, who is the only person who is in sympathy for her and the only person who gets her through all the hard times throughout her life.

Making a decision to enter La Jolla Country Day School in San Diego, California, for her senior year, Minzy is finally facing the real world after being home schooled for almost half of her life. Although she has her indivious stepsisters, Jessica and Tiffany, who continiously brings her down by making feel like a scrub, Minzy still has her best friends and Yoona by her side to help throughout the hateful people in her life.

What she never expected was meeting Kai, the most handsome, famous, popular guy at school. Kai is the definition of everyone's dream man and the guy that everyone wants to have at school. As they become friends and their relationship deepens, she can't help but continiously falling for his charm and everything there is about him. Ashamed that he would never see her anythng as other than a friend, she keeps everything to herself while her heart keeps falling for him. 

When one day, Minzy finds mysterious, little notes around the house written by her father telling her that she needs to uncover a secret that deals with his death, she can't help but try to make everything right that deals with her own dad. But how will she be able to obtain a normal life back when she has three devils living in her house? 

Her life begins to gradually change as she faces the real world for the first time in many years and she may be entering the stage of falling in love with somebody who may never fall back for her. People may think that she lives a cinderella life, waiting for the perfect prince charming to sweep her off her feet, but her life is way more horrific than anyone can imagine.

All Minzy is able to do is wait for her time of happiness to be handed to her, but no one and herself doesn't know how long that will take. 

 

Foreword

"You remind me of someone," Kai said, leaning his body against the walkway railing, "but I don't know if I should tell you who it is, because it would give away too many things... about me."

I wonder if he was talking about me; the original Minzy. Not the Minzy that was in the form of Cinderella right now, the one that no one could recognize tonight. The Minzy who comes off as a tomboy, the girl whose afraid as hell to tell her feelings to the guy she had the biggest crush on right now, the girl that's just not good enough for this perfect guy. 

But I couldn't really imagine Kai thinking about me, talking about me to someone else, saying that he misses me to other people, thinking that he actually likes me. 

Too many thoughts were running in my head at the moments, thoughts that just led to something that would never really happen in real life. 

"I wonder whose that lucky girl you're thinking of," I replied, managing to keep my voice high pitched so he wouldn't recognize who I was. I was actually happy with this cold of mine, because it really did change my voice. "Must be a pretty special person."

He chuckled a little bit, still leaning against the railing, but shifting his body to a more comfortable position. I glanced at him at the same time he moved his left, and we made eye contact. There was a million of butterflies flying through my stomach when I looked into his soft brown eyes and I really didn't know what to do at this point. The only thing I was able to do was lean my back against the railing, linking my hands together. 

I stared down at my white, lace dress not knowing what to say to him. 

"You seem to have a simple life, huh?" Kai suddenly asked me to break the silence. I looked up at him giving him a pretty confused facial expression, "Hmm?"

He smirked a little, continuing, "You seem like a pretty happy person though."

Oh god, he knows nothing right now. He has no clue that I'm Minzy. The Minzy that always listened to his stories, the Minzy that always had his back no matter what, the Minzy that he saw as one of the guys at school... 

The Minzy that he would never have in that romantic mind of his. 

I wanted to tell him so badly who I am. I wanted, so badly, to take off this stupid mask of mine off and show him who I really was. 

This was killing me so badly that I wasn't daring enough to tell him. It was killing me so badly that he couldn't figure out who I was. I wanted him to figure out who I was, but at the same time, I was afraid to see his reaction when he knew that the girl under this short, white, laced dress and pale colored high heels, and a mask that covered half of my face, was actually the Minzy that he saw everyday in school. The Minzy that wore jeans, a sweater and skateboarding sneakers every single day at school. The Minzy that was completely different than the Cinderella image in front of him right now. 

I was afraid that if I revealed myself now then he would be disappointed, and I just didn't want to see that reaction of his. He looked so happy and content talking to me as Cinderella right now, that I really couldn't bring myself up to say that it was me. 

If I didn't tell him though, would I really keep this Cinderella image forever? 

 

This is my first story for this website, I hope people will be able to read my stories :D This is the start for now, I dedicate this story to my friend Tina! (TinaLovesBigBang) More coming soon, hehe <3 Thanks in advance guys :)

Chapter 26: So I've read this entire over 24 hours on a very busy day and I don't regret it at all. Not sure If you'll see my comment but I have to say it has been a long time since a story has kept me up all night wanting to finish it no matter the fact that I will only get 2 hours of sleep. The fact that all characters had a purpose in the story and there weren't any irrelevant characters (because that's one of my major writing flaws as a fellow author) I'm so grateful I found this story, even though I'm here 2-3 years later. The rollercoaster of emotions I went through put me in shock for a while.... I reminisced about all the fluttery emotions I went through when Kai confessed his love. I was in pain and almost tears when Margaret nearly killed Minzy. I also love the fact that I was able to feel as If I were Minzy in the story. When she snuck out or came home later than usual, I got the dreadful feelings everytime about her getting into trouble before I even read about it and it was just such an emotional and great read throughout. My personal favourite character here has to be Bobby hands down. What I sincerely love about how you created him is that he (and Krystal) have been there from Day 1 in kindergarden and were Minzy's best friends forever. Usually in a story with best friends and lovers, the bestfriends are often overshadowed by the love interest which makes me feel a bit sad even though it's sort of supposed to be like that. But no, when Minzy was facing the biggest challengr in her life she called her best friends and not her boyfriend. Bobby dropped everything for her and Minzy hugged and sobbed her heart out to him before he did to Kai. Okay I'm done being sappy and I could say so much more but I just wanna say thankyou so much for writing such a meaningful story and I can't wait to read more of yours works! One day I hope I can be a proud author who is able to get her readers feel the emotions I felt all throughout this story!

Chapter 15: I rolled my eyes as Bobby spoke up, “I mean... If it was Minzy, I really don’t think he would actually care. I mean, the girl could be wearing gangster pants and come in rapping with a doo rag on her head and he would still be mesmorized by her.”

Will never forget this line, hahahahaha. Best line ever for this story.

Chapter 26: HEOL~~ is it really the end of this FF? no sequel?.. TT-TT~~ I'm gonna miss this one...especially Minkki, Bobby and Krystal's friendship~~kkk ^^ this ending is worth reading because it teaches a lot of lessons.. anyways..I am so happy that uri Minkki-ah is finally free from Margaret and her evil sisters.. I love the ending but Minkki-ah isn't it too harsh to ignore Jongin for a month..aigoo~ you torture jongin's poor heart~~kkk and I'm glad that D.O will not have a sad ending because he has Tina~~ think Tina's personality matches D.O really well here~~kkk I like it that until the end, their friendship helps them where they are right now...and that they can just laugh at everything that happened to them...honestly I'm so envious of their bond...I hope I have a Minkki, a Bobby, a Krystal, a Jongin, a D.O, and a Yoona in my life...Kudos to you Authorniiiiiiiim!~~ see you at No Way Back! ^^ ppyong!~~<3

Chapter 26: Honestly one of the best fanfics that I have ever read. I loved how you embellished the Cinderella story with a more modern, realistic twist. I loved the characters the most. There was not one character that I didn't like. Like I would love to have someone like Bobby or Krystal in my life. It was a great story. You are a really great writer. Please keep writing and thank you so much for sharing your creative mind. I can't wait to read other stories by you :D <3
