A/N I cried when I first read this chapter in the original story and I cried again when writing this and once more when I proofread it :(

We all have love stories, we all cry and we all feel like we're the only ones going through that...we're all the center of the universe at some point. I learned it that night.

 

 

 

*Hani's story*

 

 

Hani was a happy redhead in a house full of love with her parents and three little brothers. What made her different? What turned a smart girl with the dream of enrolling in Harvard University to become a medical surgeon into a promiscuous teenager with no intention of studying for a future career and no hope in love? What happened? What's strong enough to kill a whole life and innocence?

 

 

The reason had a name,last name and beautiful blue eyes.

 

She was around 15 when it started. She had always been well behaved and obedient, she always worried about the 'what will they say' that overwhelmed her parents, after all a famous surgeon had to take care of his family's reputation. His oldest daughter couldn't be out in parties late at night. No, that was NEVER going to happen, at least that's what he always said. Hani didn't care, she didn't want to go out to parties to get drunk or give people something to talk about by acting stupid and crazy,no, that wasn't the reason why she wanted to go to those places, Hani was in love.

 

 

It was only a party, the first one...nobody had to know. Jeonghwa and Hyelin were excited, because just like Hani, this was their first time being in a real party, a party were they weren't going as the daughters of someone important, they were on their own and if they were going to stand out from the crowd it would be because of them....they were determined, full face of makeup and with dresses so tight that made them look a few years older. They caught everyone's attention as soon as they entered and they sure liked being the center of attention. They were innocent, having fun and spending dad's money. They were spoiling themselves, in that moment life offered them more, in that moment they were blinded by vanity...the loud music intoxicated them, in that moment they wanted to feel sensual and desired.

 

 

Hani didn't need to put in much effort, what made her the joke of the school as the 'carrot' because of her red hair now made her the most desired girl in that world.....she was the pretty redhead, she was who Sebastian de la Rose wanted for him, she was going to be his, of course his 'knight in shining armor' figure helped him a lot. He presented himself as a dream of light, as the one who would take Juliet from her confinement, he made her believe they would be together forever.

 

15......she was only 15

 

 

 

"What is a beautiful rose doing in a dumpster like this?" She heard a whisper close to her nape causing a shiver to run through her body. 

 

"We're having fun," she answered, afraid of looking stupid.

 

"This is fun to you? Well...if that's how it is....just ask for what you want and it'll be yours." He took her hand, Hani's heart started beating, terrified. "Whatever you ask will be an order." 

 

Sebastian's eyes gave off light, light that made him look like an angel....but he wasn't an angel. Sebastian was everything, but that.

 

In that moment, she hadn't realized the lie that stood behind the light, she was so flattered that the most influential guy in the place had laid eyes on her. She looked proud next to him, the world was hers and it was him who had given it to her.

 

 

They were seen together in other parties after that one, people had started talking about the new 'Mrs. de la Rose'. Was it possible? A little girl had been able to grab the heart of the most wanted bachelor with the worst reputation in the place? 'Poor thing' some would say. I guess they knew what came after the parties, the flattering, the giving of the stars and moon. Some memorized his moves perfectly for they had been blinded victims at one point, they had all been Hani before.

 

 

But even when she was warned, Hani was blinded and didn't want to listen...she lost her friends, who had run away, scared of what that world had to offer, that seductive world that attracted you like magic, but once it had you it started consuming you, destroyed you and everything around you, they couldn't handle that, it was too much for two little girls. But that wasn't going to happen to Hani, she was with HIM, he was going to take care of her forever. 'Poor thing'.

 

"I'm tired of it! Leave me alone!" Her screams c

Chapter 22: Thank you so much for translating and all your hard work! This story spoke to my heart. I believe I've found this story for a reason. now I'm leaving with a slightly different perspective on life itself. So beautiful, well written, insightful and poetic in it's own way. This story is a masterpiece.

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: The story is inspiring.
I think this is one of the best fics I've ever enjoyed. All of them have been through some many hurt and sorrow, those pasts changed their lives and made them a sober person than others under the drunken appearance. They all have their wises. This fact somehow gives hopes. There's no baddie, only story. (Just like how Donghae explained Siwon's act, everyone has their own life trajectory)
Good story, I appreciate much.

Haven't read this yet, but as a bit of advice maybe you can post the dialogue (screen-shot it or any other ways) giving you the permission to translate the story. I saw other translators did so to prevent authorized problems.
