52 Her Story: Part IV (1/2)

In an instant her life changed. She was told that they were going to take his private plane back to Mr. Oh's home. Where exactly did he live? She wasn't even able to say goodbye to Bong Soo's friends, they who later became her own.

Mr. Oh was supposedly in a tight schedule. Once the plane landed she was told they were in Seoul. Where Bong Soo lived, but Ha Eun had no desire to find her.

They were driven to a huge mansion. The yard was clean cut, some of the bushes were trimmed to look like animals and at the very front of the house, there was a huge fountain.

”Do you like it?” Mr. Oh asked her. Ha Eun nodded.

There were many people dressed as maids and butlers waiting outside for them and they all bowed to her.

”Good morning Miss. Its an honor to meet you” they said. Ha Eun was surprised by this. Mr. Oh had actual maids and butlers and they greeted her as if she was royalty.

A maid walked towards her and asked her to follow. Ha Eun looked at Mr. Oh and he nodded. She was led to a huge room with silver and pink colors. There was a couch, a TV and a walk in closet. There was even a huge vanity.

”This will be your room, miss” a maid said. Ha Eun looked at her surprised.

”All of this is mine?” she asked her. The maid smiled at her and nodded.

Ha Eun started unpacking her bags but more maids came into the room and took her clothes from her ”You don't need to wear these” they said. Butlers came into her room with many bags of designer clothes and shoes.

”You are part of the Oh family now. You should dress the part” one of the maids said. Ha Eun could understand what she meant. She was adopted by a man with a lot of money. It was only natural to have to dress differently. She let them throw all of her stuff away, but she kept the bracelet Bong Soo made her.

As the days went by she was taught proper etiquette. She was taught how to eat, how to dance and rather than go to school she was getting home schooled. She hardly ever saw Mr. Oh and when she did it was only for a short while; he was always in his study. When she was told he had a tight schedule she never expected it would be so tight that she could never see him.

One day there was a knock at the door. A man and a young boy about her age were there. The man had a smile on his face, the boy looked surprised.

”You must be Ha Eun” the man said.

”And you are?” Ha Eun asked.

”My apologies. My name is Chung Min Sik, and this is my son Woo Yeon” he said. Woo Yeon waved at Ha Eun, with a smile on his face. Ha Eun's cheeks flushed red and she waved back ”Is Gyu Taek here?” he asked. Ha Eun nodded.

”He's in his study” she said.

”Can we come in?” Mr. Chung asked. Ha Eun shrugged and let him in ”Woo Yeon, why don't you keep the little miss some company?”

”I didn't know Mr. Oh had kids” Woo Yeon said to Ha Eun.

”He adopted me” she answered. Woo Yeon was surprised.

”So, you're an orphan” he said. Ha Eun nodded ”Well, you'll most likely be put in the same school as me. If you want, I can be your friend” he said with a smile. Ha Eun looked away. A bit flustered by his smile. She looked back at Woo Yeon and nodded.

They spent the day playing. He told her about his friends at school and how they would love to meet her. She told him about her not so happy childhood. She jumped from home to home. Although she hasn't gotten to spend much time with Mr. Oh, she liked living this calm life.She worried that Mr. Oh would send her away, like all the other families she's had. Woo Yeon felt sad for her.

”Don't worry, if anything ever happens, I'll make sure to protect you” Woo Yeon told her. Ha Eun smiled and nodded.

After that day, the two spent more and more time together. And as Woo Yeon had predicted, Mr. Oh enrolled her at Woo Yeon's school. With all the homeschooling she'd received while getting accustomed to this new life, when she got to school she didn't feel at all lost in class. If anything, she felt like she already knew everything the teachers were giving.

The kids in school also liked her. It was the first time so many kids wanted to talk to her, and girls actually wanted to sit with her during lunch.
