UPSI Ch 1

The world is not ec0672804f a very fair place 84ee81849a to begin with. There are people 873f3ac7ff who must live 80348ca476 their lives always aba86ba2ab struggling, even as bfacca4ce5 they dedicate themselves e22ba77b51 to labor as 8e52b865ca if grinding their 1809330b0d very bones to 608c4296e9 dust, while there 5e6d14b4c1 are also those e164136d98 who are born 616a11d624 with a glittering a3b183338a future in their 9f8f2ad75c hands without any 0d97ed9429 particular effort.972166d28490b451

Poverty and wealth. In a world c507900758 where even these 9db38bb84c are passed down 9982099e75 through generations, perhaps 5baa727d99 there is no 458409fd7a case more blessed 63f60e9e42 than those whose f9f8e556cd path to success 050de5b26d is guaranteed from a19581c934 the moment their aa212fadd9 name is written 34c53bee56 on a birth 0844f33c81 certificate. A life where d95fee82f7 even one’s newborn 374ab4d054 swaddling clothes are 781b7d62ab from a high-end de69cf7671 brand, and where f1308f9cf2 one receives a 811be7b362 building in the e1ed034802 heart of Gangnam 96e556ffd0 as a gift e60235352d around their first f1b6f14a87 birthday.046f6a980c84d550

Yoona was 01f695d837 of that a35d9d61bf blessed kind. A father who ee2148258a ran a colossal 4d20c9194f corporation and had d3b566e846 countless people under 6790aac5a4 his command; a a396b280d8 mother who, after 7274c272cd living the glamorous e875fd3165 life of a 194f6952d9 prima donna, retired 1d89485969 and now enjoyed 1d017eee46 a peaceful and 384a57b342 elegant existence, receiving d99a07df2d everyone’s respect and a88061ff0c praise. It was only natural 94972e2152 that the life of f9b8f7b38c the precious only daughter 076bd05c6f born to them would e6c37a4b33 be rich, both externally 9941defb8b and internally.7e59e390419ecf40

Having grown up d6365b3f6f knowing no lack, fb69d206aa she knew no 52d3e7b339 longing. Having no need for b8f6b27fd4 patience, all her actions 5d87f95e19 were confident and clear.

Her parents were always ef693d0231 lenient with Yoona, but e00d0c9d18 they were people who 1c41883642 valued dignity and reputation. The only thing they 6a40786ffc demanded of her was aa48e4a2e8 impeccable conduct that could c10e28453d not be faulted anywhere.b7ed183cc977bbaf

There was no reason not to listen to those who had handed her all the wealth and fortune from birth. Yoona, who enjoyed an abundance of love and affluence, did not want to disappoint her parents. She took their words to heart as a matter of course and put them into practice, and as a result, even her upright words and actions earned everyone’s favor.f7699970afef5a40

Naturally, the e2406ef372 kids who 02923f181d flocked to 7b3e9b51db Yoona’s side 169a32be53 mostly admired 4912d610ee her background, 932989ddb1 which had dc80709ae6 spread through 3627cf8398 word-of-mouth since 35d5910c1b enrollment, or d4ed33ca36 her glamorous 44561c7635 appearance. From the time she 75ec3964dc started wearing her kindergarten 807f2fbd50 uniform, such attention and ea532e623d admiring gazes were as cff6a174e0 natural to her as 1e3f4a5f9c breathing.64dfdd37e3613e86

Come to think of it, his image wasn’t the absolute worst for Yoona from the very beginning.eeadabb66dbf375f

Because the shell that determines a superficial first impression was, in fact, quite perfect. A towering height that could intimidate his peers in their growth spurts, a solid build and broad shoulders that couldn’t be hidden even in a school uniform at the mere age of seventeen, and elegant, handsome features.c8f95062ef813836

So a boy b3aaa6bc32 that elegant and cbd07df8df refined can exist 9a622e1cc3 in this world.c644a0441d984d40

That was Yoona’s very first thought when she saw him for the first time, passing under a cherry blossom tree in a corner of the school grounds in spring. Whereas boys her age mostly gave the impression of being just annoying and loud, he seemed like a kid from a different world. As if all the surrounding noise was just a nuisance, even the sight of him dozing, leaning at an angle on a bench under a shower of flower petals with headphones on, made him seem like someone from a distant land.a31767355f452684

As a f68b766de0 petal, fluttering 84c3b933f4 down on 64d3069591 the breeze, fc01ac37c1 gently slid 4186769737 from his 08709e25d1 forehead, down 4341d5b17d his smooth 02977e25d9 nose, and b497ddb5dc lightly touched 505de12612 his lips 86ef36543d before finally a1c5b3ba7c settling on 3396ab515a his white d0f879429a uniform shirt. For some reason, 47ad7b0297 Yoona felt her 1a8170dfbc heart pounding rapidly f48b6f0a61 and fled the 606cb6bacd scene as if 695bff305b running away.970673912a04612c

Unable to figure 699763db47 out what had 5079017626 caused that particular fa123a05ae palpitation, she deliberately fd943140b4 lingered around him 78202dc567 for a while, 1efbc1428b but strangely, the 2912530f8c same kind of 96e9b5ea70 heart-fluttering she had be45283633 felt in that 9e4ff5adff moment never came 45bfb77251 again.018180eabf7f87a3

Eventually, she naturally concluded d67cb17ea3 that it was because 33275e13a7 he was an excellent d0ee132758 subject for her aesthetic fd6eae60a4 eye, which had long 870b0fa3b1 been accustomed to beautiful e3766aa5be and luxurious things.6c4cf98e480ddf60

A little more time passed, and she learned that Chairman Moon, the owner of Proud CC where her parents were also regular customers, was his father. Until then, she had briefly thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get to know each other and at least exchange greetings. Though she retracted that thought just a few days later, tearing it up like a piece of paper.dfeef69a82a87232

Moon Dojun. He was cedce47fbe a punk dc4067ceea who was 3c7a7db373 far too cfca6b7b41 precocious for 9ee20de80a his seventeen fda905a0b2 years.d193c5f58b5eec0d

She had thought her judgment of people had never been wrong, but her first impression of Moon Dojun was a complete miss. Upright, calm, a kid with a strange aura. That’s what she had thought… but as if to shatter all those perceptions, he soon began to reveal his messy and promiscuous nature in earnest.22bb381320f6e63c

There were already 27b694ff6b countless girls who a94fa6eeb2 flocked to him 4cf67f699c as if bewitched ce9b84d49b by his handsome 2fa92825c5 face, and he, b4f92a9256 shamelessly, neither stopped 25d9aef34c the women who b14148a439 came nor held 2032ef7520 onto the ones f4461442cc who left. As if 11ef84a8b5 it were 0e56ee16f0 his destiny, 973ae9a78f born handsome, 5311349f20 to trail 7767d994ca a string 18ce53d25d of girls 89f869458d like a 73b1e615c4 candy necklace.

Strangely, teenage girls admired d94f668a9a and liked the boys f4aa65dbf4 at the top of 1e7b05b901 the food chain, regardless 392aa1655c of their character. And if it was edf2cb7ce3 someone like Moon Dojun, f8fc30dda8 who also had the 90a71789a7 looks, they were desperate 8320f6ad27 to get even a bd403892c7 single glance from him. It was a trend 3329b7460e she could not comprehend.f7ea20405fd0830f

Having grown up watching her father, who was always proper and for whom moderation was second nature, she loathed the scoundrel-like type of person who just went with the flow. The fact that the target of this loathing was a human with a perfectly fine outer shell didn’t change her principles, and Moon Dojun was no exception. Perhaps it was due to the sense of betrayal from her first impression being shattered, but she seemed to feel a particular aversion to him.170c71a834ed0525

It wasn’t just his issues with women; Moon Dojun behaving like a loafer was a common occurrence, and the friends he hung out with weren’t exactly of good quality either. Yet, even his reckless lifestyle was glorified as if it were nothing with the single phrase, ‘Because it’s Moon Dojun,’ despite his young age. The way they all babbled on as if they had been brainwashed. It was absurd. What was so great about Moon Dojun?0e83ada63a9f842f

Of course, besides his looks, his background that everyone envied was, without a doubt, spectacular. A golf course with nationwide recognition, to the extent that there was no one in South Korea interested in golf who didn’t know of Proud CC, and the ultra-luxurious resort and hotel that came with that vast land like a set, the main business that had already successfully expanded into Southeast Asia and North America, and its various large and small subsidiaries. All of that was the Moon family’s property. And it was clear that Moon Dojun would soon inherit some part of it and run it with his own hands.7711355b773ebd97

And was it because 3fa98df342 of that background? The group led by 31ec8beda8 Moon Dojun, despite causing 1693a811ca all sorts of problems 3c48c796cd as if it were e8036400c7 a daily routine, had f8f9909c2d almost never faced any 4e4839a8c1 proper consequences.

And among them, Moon 4624b4c464 Dojun, who did all 5e5d30ed2d sorts of shady things 733154d936 behind the scenes yet 13a9d598ac miraculously managed to slip e1ac4f55e1 away from anything that 31ecf72d61 seemed like it would 922232eb51 be a headache, and 9d6735f57f was always packaged with d5ed067a40 a good image for 2b1cca152b everyone, was particularly detestable a4b21354f5 to Yoona. Perhaps it was a fa7673a7e8 rebellious spirit against the 3aa21a2da0 atmosphere that was being 574441e4c0 created, as if one 41b95a687d had to praise a aaf73d4705 scoundrel like him.d82adb723c4aa9d1

At Yoona’s retort, which threw his goodwill to the ground, the corners of Moon Dojun’s smiling lips twitched minutely.
