ROWOON'S P.O.V “Where have you been, Young Lady?” The scary voice of my mother welcomed us when we entered the mansion.  I felt a lump on my throat when I saw how my mother glared at me, Does all the Jung have glares like that? “H-Hi, Mom!” I went to her place and placed a kiss on her cheeks, trying to sneak my way out of danger. “Not so fast, Kang Rowoon. Do you know what time is it? It is way past your dismissal time. Have you been going out with your friends without us knowing? I told you to stay away from those poor people" I felt my blood boiling on how my mother addressed my friends, but I remained calm when I remembered that she’s still my mother. “Mom, please stop calling my friends like that. They have names you can call" I avoided shouting because that will put me more in the bad note, I remained calm but displeasure was visible on my voice. “And what, let me say their disgusting names? Not a chance. And answer my question, Where have you been?” The atmosphere was getting more tense as my mother emphasized the question. “I was in detention” I suddenly found myself looking sideways, my palm on my burning cheek. “Gosh, your really a shame for our name, Kang Rowoon! You really are a disappointment. You should follow your brothers, they did well on school and now they achieved big things! Remember, your a Kang; Not only your name would be dragged down” I scoffed. “That’s the only thing you and Father think about, our business! You didn’t really think about me in the first place! All of you think about is money and money, you don’t even care if your stepping on people!”  “How dare you speak to me like that, Kang Rowoon! You’re not even grateful for our hard work! Me and your father are doing this for you to have a great life and future!” “What will fortune do if I didn’t experience what happiness feels? What could it do if I didn’t experience what being loved feels? Do you think the only ingredient of having a good future and life is fortune? I'm human too! I  also want to experience a mother’s care and a father’s love! I also want to experience what it feels to have supportive parents! I also want to experience a true family! And this is not a family, because a family is there whenever your down; Were you there when I need a shoulder to cry on? A family is there to cheer you up; Were you there when I was going through my depression? A family is there to talk with you whenever you have problems; Were you there? I think you don’t even know I have problems to solve. An most of all, a family supports you to anything you want to do; They make you feel happiness, safety, care, strength, guidance and love! Tell me, did you make me feel one of those even once?” I was on the edge of crying but I remained strong. I let out the hidden feelings that I was keeping for a long time, for years I kept that feeling; the feeling of being sadness and loneliness. “I envy some people that they have a loving and supportive family, I envy them because they can feel what a true family means. I wished I was poor instead, at least I have a loving and supportive family than being rich then having a controlling family"  I walked out from the scene and went straight to my room, slamming the door on the way. Laying down on my back, I stared at the orange ceiling and tried not to break down; I let out a big sigh as I close my watery eyes.  A knock was heard on the door making me bolt up and wiped my watery eyes; I can’t show someone that I'm weak, I already showed that someone and something inferior happened. And I'm not repeating the same mistake I had done.  “Hey, Won. Are you fine?” The voice of my cousin entered the dark room, and her figure slowly getting bigger and bigger as she went closer to me. She sat by the edge of my bed and faced me with a worried look, “I'm fine, Soojung. Don’t worry" I let out a small weak smile, showing her that 'I'm fine'; And I'm truly am (?)  “Stop with the nonsense, Won. I know you only call my Korean name when you lie, annoyed and when your teasing me, I know you’re not fine, no need to hide" I hate to admit but she’s right, she really knows me well. Ever since we were kids, Krystal and I was really close, we were more like sisters than cousin. She was the closest relative to me and made me feel easy; I was close to her since I don’t have a sister to play with when I was young, I had SeungBin and SeungGeol oppa but they were both boys and whenever we play together it’s the rough way. Since that day, I always stick to Krystal. She’s the person I  talk to when I feel troubled, annoyed, angry, sad, happy, in love and etc. She’s the only person who knows about my problems and trials. She’s the only one who can understand me and she’s the only person who can withstand a Kang Rowoon.  I may look like I'm not thankful but I am and ever will be, because she made feel what it is like to have a sister. “You know me too well" I gave her a playful shove in the shoulder and both of us laughed afterwards, we really are alike; Both laughing without any reason. “I know you more than I you know yourself, dear cousin. And it's so dark in here, let’s bring some light" She exclaimed as she looked around my room. “Let there be light" She clapped twice and the lights , fancy, right? I know.  My room was black and orange themed, since I like chic things and my favourite colour is orange; Why not put them together to make my “
“You really like the colour orange and black, Won. Your room is filled with orange and black things" What do you expect? I like putting my dreams into reality; That’s Kang Rowoon. “Anyways, you promised me a story, right? You spill it now, Kang" She went closer to where I was sitting and grabbed the pillow I was hugging. Typical Jung. “Ya, that’s mine!” I tried to reach for the pillow but she put it to where my grasp couldn’t reach.  “There’s many pillows he

Also, i have an inkling, that maybe Bogum actually likes Rowoon. Welp, i did not reread the previous chapters so I am just relying on my unreliable memory lol. Will be waiting for the next update. Curious on what's Bogum's reason is.
