Chapter 4

YooLim was having bad dreams at night. In her dream, she was standing in front of the golden mirror, and then she see the lady in old times. That room wasn't the same because the flowers on the wallpaper are new. As she saw that lady, her body and face also change. She said, "It can't be possible". Then, the lady in the Red qipao dress moved up to her by saying, "You are a beautiful lady like me so believe in yourself". She said, "I am ugly, fat and a food lover why do I have to believe myself like this". That lady said, "Take a look at the mirror long and it will change you". She said, "I am not believing in paranormal things". That lady said, "I will help you". Then, she woke up. The alarm clock was ringing out loud with her favorite song. Her mother shouted, "YooLim, you will be late for the first time to go to school". She said, "I am up now". And then, YooLim heads out of the bedroom and gets into the bathroom. But the door was locking now. She was shouting up to her mother, "Mama, who is in there". Her mother said, "Can it be your father?". Then, she was kicking the door harder and said, "Cut it out and come out quickly Papa". She knew what is he doing inside. He liked to smoke but his wife and daughter don't allow him to do it. He was taking his smoke time when he get into the toilet. That was the hateful thing of her father. YooLim couldn't stand this. However, her father kept doing this. Afterward, she was putting on the uniform and headed to the dining table. Her parents said, "You will get a new uniform tomorrow". She said, "I know that". Then, she sat right next to her mother and drink the soup. Her face turned unpleasant so her mother asked, "What's wrong". She said, "It's too salty". Her mother tasted it back and said, "Oh, I was just sleepy at that time". Her father said, "we can just eat it with more rice porridge". She said, "I hate salty so I will pass".

Jack headed out of his apartment with a sandwich and milk bottle in his hand. He hasn't been at school over those times. His friends were attending high school now. But he had to attend middle school back again. That's why he hates to go to school. Now, he could choose this only for raising his image and becoming a bright star again. He didn't know how bad the rumors are. His life was crashing with tons of rumors. At last, his trusted people and also the company stay beside him. He couldn't believe his condition right now. Anyhow, he might start everything again. He felt worse since he moves to a new apartment. This is the old street of Shanghai in history. There had many legends here like Nanjing. However, he didn't like the smell of the old street. The buildings were getting too old and produced sound and smell. But there had a good smell coming from food carts. He liked that smell most. He was walking forward to reach the school. On his road to go to school, he met his friend. His friend was coming up and patting his shoulder. He was removing the hand from his shoulder by using his left hand. And then, he looked at the person's face carefully. At last, he noticed who is this guy. Then, he said, "whoah, aren't you Pei Ma". That person said, "Haven't seen you a long time ago but I can see you on tv". Jack said, "Yeah, my company told me to finish high school and get back into the entertainment business after graduating". Pei said, "It's great". Jack said, "You already in high school right". Pei said, "Yeah". After that, they went to school together like in old times. Jack was feeling better now. He decided to do better to graduate.

At that time, Jack's manager was going back to the company and trying to report everything. Michael was coming up to him and told, "The CEO didn't want to see you and your idol". At that time, he saw assistant Liu. So, he was greeting CEO's Personal assistant. And then, Ms. Liu was giving some documents. He was opening the document and look the files. Then, he saw clearly what CEO want him to be. Ms. Liu said, "I am sorry Mr. Xin, you should leave this idol alone and go to our branch office for training new idols". Mr. Xin said, "I can't do this because it's betraying someone else". Ms. Liu said, "You are the manager of Jack Luo but you must come back to the company". Mr. Xin said, "He is still one of us". Ms. Liu said, "Our company will assign the other person for him so you don't need to worry about him anymore". Ms. Liu said, "You should leave now". Mr. Xin said, "Tell him, I won't let Jack alone while he builds a good image again". Ms. Liu said, "Alright, I will tell to Mr. Yao". Then, he left that place. On his way back home, he stopped at the market and go shopping for buying some goods they need. In the market, he went to CD shelves. He was walking around the area and found the name. At the arrival corner, he saw Jack Luo's latest debut album CDs in the back of new arrivals. He was putting those from back to front. Then, he headed to another place. when he leaves, the staff is putting back to the back. He glanced up again and see it. He was sighing and left. In his mind, he decided to put everything back to where it exists. He said, "My star Jack wasn't losing until he give up". He said, "I can do without the company's help". Starting from today, it was being a lot of work to do. Otherwise, he must wait for the CEO's decision. While he thinking, he looked at the price and gasp. He said, "Why are they too expensive?". He checked his card again and some money. Then, he was putting it back on the shelf and take some cheaps.
