UPSI Ch 1

The world is not 51ba0a4d09 a very fair place 819b33afde to begin with. There are people who 657eeee4a8 must live their lives 34ed59574d always struggling, even as ba7c950488 they dedicate themselves to efc976d44f labor as if grinding c46b57a61f their very bones to 5ed62fba4e dust, while there are 04102a882a also those who are e7e3df276a born with a glittering d915538ac8 future in their hands d22308acf3 without any particular effort.aedcb1c211499724

Poverty and wealth. In a world 65394f876e where even these bd5ff06ea5 are passed down b14e036600 through generations, perhaps b0d5d623d4 there is no 47c3463176 case more blessed b242a7f9c4 than those whose 75748270c2 path to success 195e820936 is guaranteed from 7af569c31d the moment their 1ae567eb7e name is written 1f18f28ea4 on a birth b51e5af7be certificate. A life where even 445f682ae8 one’s newborn swaddling clothes c654854794 are from a high-end 83cfa92c27 brand, and where one 28b724f6b4 receives a building in 99590fde72 the heart of Gangnam 5884f3398e as a gift around 76bb53bb6f their first birthday.204b86b045f7dd3f

Yoona was 21fe6281e3 of that 737e95cb8c blessed kind. A father who ran 36e5544c2c a colossal corporation and 61faf19f52 had countless people under 56e0e22708 his command; a mother 5183a5a87a who, after living the 2272729be2 glamorous life of a a006471c59 prima donna, retired and 304a0ef14e now enjoyed a peaceful 13eda968a9 and elegant existence, receiving b9fe95ac13 everyone’s respect and praise. It was only natural fa7fb492e0 that the life of 9d5111f488 the precious only daughter 5bf39985cc born to them would 1c9c852522 be rich, both externally 1b832a668e and internally.6f6eea98afe53f93

Clothes that were always b7f7ba8f79 crisp, unwrinkled, and impeccably fa8e75f771 managed through the labor e62e52d28c of others, a soft 3aee48b7c6 and subtle scent, always 4090b8b803 perfect hair and a 7fd889b56b clean body.54c5694f2c48b224

Having grown up knowing f0f4e45101 no lack, she knew 1aced7136f no longing. Having no need a75a9d4f7f for patience, all d2bede59ed her actions were f6eeb9d2fe confident and clear.

Her parents were always 8f068723bb lenient with Yoona, but 28ca6d69fd they were people who 05b14e39a7 valued dignity and reputation. The only thing they 53709e7c07 demanded of her was ccc0992c1e impeccable conduct that could e065f999c0 not be faulted anywhere.4f039b7a77ea27e9

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.f0d0bd30a0879f9c

The first 2f247c09cc time Yoona 01c209c0d5 became aware c05e50ec3e of his 5265883fdf existence was 14da2baf52 around the 6a6296556b age of 457cf74692 seventeen.dcb0daba4177dd6f

By the 870248a125 time one dce89fb66f becomes a bea39d08dc high schooler, 264538a8f9 which is 54c34ef46b like the 218d1ba49e final threshold 4ddfb6c7aa before adulthood, 5527103b3e even teenagers 0395968f48 are more 8aa1209445 sensitive to d6e401f7c1 ranking people 2ca39c580d and to 4bd3363b77 the aura 0564404c31 of those 448b450b95 born with 0bc46eaf83 superior conditions.

Naturally, the kids who 27fe5bf006 flocked to Yoona’s side e4bea73402 mostly admired her background, d380c977d6 which had spread through 8e910b7dd1 word-of-mouth since enrollment, or 32e296ca78 her glamorous appearance.

Come to think of it, his image wasn’t the absolute worst for Yoona from the very beginning.3811d686b897cc05

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.c03885a78bf0a975

So a boy that ef69dd0d5b elegant and refined can 1f74100f6a exist in this world.4b1c3d0a7b5fd15f

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.0accc84c1aacfb6e

As a petal, fluttering 64e9ce3093 down on the breeze, 5aba32b4f7 gently slid from his 93321e4f62 forehead, down his smooth 2c5394f951 nose, and lightly touched 68ee61a067 his lips before finally 5876fcfe34 settling on his white e5d9c00f78 uniform shirt. For some 53285e715d reason, Yoona 2d86b480fb felt her cd263d8268 heart pounding 033c9dba81 rapidly and 39d22fda10 fled the f725c1dc10 scene as ea330f5f35 if running 213a4329f6 away.f7c05e637564d499

Unable to figure out 4773081bb8 what had caused that 053ba1a1e6 particular palpitation, she deliberately 1ce0e5ceaa lingered around him for 799a5d80a5 a while, but strangely, bb60dc2195 the same kind of 5b0dd29c57 heart-fluttering she had felt 7fdc2491b0 in that moment never 4af9bc5082 came again.2f9f61b24165526f

Eventually, she naturally concluded 306e6793b9 that it was because 75e217a6c6 he was an excellent 68228e0aee subject for her aesthetic adb32408e1 eye, which had long 80e959e78c been accustomed to beautiful bb091a337f and luxurious things.b821297c21e63a41

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.55a22156206057c3

Moon Dojun. He was a punk b888b18d3b who was far too 226fb3de2d precocious for his seventeen f0ac631ca2 years.7d1740212f0f5d42

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.920578a95d842775

There were already 23c3ca5c93 countless girls who 2d81335068 flocked to him 62df28235d as if bewitched ce1e3b2458 by his handsome c993fd757d face, and he, 90dad73873 shamelessly, neither stopped 25e17c2a84 the women who ffca8a17eb came nor held 36b81713aa onto the ones 5dc23118a7 who left. As if it 44115e04d7 were his destiny, 070aa05511 born handsome, to 5070d035bc trail a string 2c4a203482 of girls like 38dd7f5d19 a candy necklace. The first impression of b788984f25 him being upright and d509e7e923 aloof was instantly reduced 72a3a552ad to a mere facade.8c8deb2682b97eeb

It was like 5d4cf3631a a farce how, 6431e5cef6 even when the 0266c92120 girls he hung 18a6fb312c out with—be they d919a6f41f upperclassmen, underclassmen, or da87871c79 peers—changed constantly, it c3805cd92b was all glossed ba265ad757 over with nonsense 5f9ff419e9 like, ‘What can 1bcdc782a5 you do, he’s 3003ae6432 just that good-looking.’ 3207c742cb When even the 5e5319628b girls he associated 001d8e3336 with said such 8988921b8b things, Yoona would b7f16994a8 look at them e9b8023710 as if they de68e23b84 were pathetic and b04952153a fire back a 5db8bd45e4 remark.c9162f18672d89ee

Strangely, teenage girls 8052f64c98 admired and liked 25fae30824 the boys at 25ee674cb8 the top of 47520abfa1 the food chain, 60cb1ad118 regardless of their 628a2e0d1c character. And if it was 3b6ef833b9 someone like Moon Dojun, 1203db631c who also had the e0aa5e205e looks, they were desperate 2d033a56d0 to get even a b4314cf6de single glance from him. It was a 323a0222c8 trend she could 85bbcc9f25 not comprehend.e5afb5dc146d0c6d

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.6ba5fea44ccd6a7e

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?4ab0c39c6bef4cd9

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.c85478b8e17c1370

And was it because 668464f7f9 of that background? The group 58321ac301 led by 4d8ba6ad15 Moon Dojun, 1d6656cbe0 despite causing 1a499032de all sorts f226e4d2ab of problems 5a0dcd7474 as if 7219c256a6 it were d59c56db23 a daily 472b1e9f3b routine, had 971a8ab566 almost never 4ba03af58d faced any 8c5b22c00a proper consequences. Because the ‘real’ 145a70d91b adults who should 5e9c089470 have been properly 01204a9031 guiding them as fa03d67541 they clumsily mimicked 03cddbc812 adulthood were instead 4d37c11809 busy walking on 546615e496 eggshells around the f3cddb8cb5 kids.ef71624040a70aea

Perhaps it was e7ebc02757 a rebellious spirit 19961e6036 against the atmosphere 7a4f00ea31 that was being 9c7e7dbfc2 created, as if b439163ea3 one had to 8df1ffb8e2 praise a scoundrel 5bb8811598 like him.3a446741978b2b0c

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

Until Yoona brushed past Moon Dojun, who had been blocking her path, as if looking at something utterly trivial, he stood frozen stiff like someone who had witnessed something truly shocking. A strange thrill welled up at the sight of his face, his expectations so beautifully betrayed. It wasn’t long, however, before the irritation she felt at herself for gaining a sense of superiority from something like this, with a clear indicator like grades on the line, quickly overwhelmed it.b86052e7dfc28ec4
