Chapter 8

Family dinner time started at 8 pm, YooLim can not eat much. Her father was worried about her because she is not a lite eater. Mother was telling him to not worry much. Her father asked, "Did she feel unwell?". Mother said, "She is fine but she ate the jelly pudding cake before dinner time". Her father said, "If you can't eat much, don't force yourself to eat". YooLim said, "I am fine Papa". Her father said, "Okay". And then, they finished their dinner. An hour later, she was studying in her bedroom and felt upset in her stomach. She got up from the chair and do some exercise to digest well. But the gas didn't come out. So, she decided to play a game on the bed. She didn't expect the time is passing too fast. when she looked at the clock on her desk, it was already 1 am the morning. She said, "Oh! I must go to sleep now". At the same time, the gas went out and my stomach feel better. She was putting the adapter on phone to charge. Later, she headed out of the room to the kitchen. She needed to drink a glass of water before she go to sleep. When she headed out of the room, she get the scent of strange perfume. That's why she thought her mother change the perfume. She was leaving it as a normal case and headed to the kitchen. She was standing near the table and looking around. There had no one else in the kitchen. But she smelled the strong scent of perfume. She was putting her finger on the switch to turn on the light. The switch wasn't working so she go and check the fuse box near the doorstep. She wasn't seeing anything wrong. It was too late to wake up her father to check. She decided to take the flashlight and take the glass of water and go to sleep. After that, she was getting back to the kitchen. From there, the switch was turned on. She was feeling strange. But she took the water bottle and pour it into the cup and head back to the bedroom. When she stopped in front of the bedroom, she feel the coldness from the back. She couldn't move at that time. And then, the hand reached on her shoulder with the strong scent of perfume. She realized where the scent come from. But she gripped her hand tight and try to move. And then, she could move now. She was opening the door and go to bed. She was covering her face with the blanket and sleeping. In the morning, the sun's rays reached her face. She was covering up her face with the pillow. However, someone removed the blanket and take the pillow away from her. She was grabbing her pillow back. Her mother was hitting her butt by saying, "Get up now or you will be late". she said, "One more minute, Mama". Her mother said, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth because breakfast is ready". She moved up harder from the bed to reach the bathroom. Her eyes couldn't open wide still.

At Jack's apartment, Mr. Xin was getting ready to head out. Jack was getting up late as always. Mr. Xin was waking him up and preparing breakfast for him. After an hour, Jack dressed up and head out of the bedroom to have breakfast together. Mr. Xin was looking at him by placing the soup bowl in the center and said, "Come and sit, you need to fill up your stomach before you go to school". Jack said, "You are always like my family member". Mr. Xin said, "Alright, I know your mind and keep it back into your heart and eat up". Jack said, "You are the best manager ever". Then, they headed out together after having breakfast. Mr. Xin stopped in front of the school gate and Jack headed out of the car. Mr. Xin saw every student run toward the teacher who stand in front of the gate. Mr. Xin said, "You must hurry and go now". Jack said, "Alright, I will run up now". Mr. Xin was waving up to him while watching his back. He waited until Jack get inside and the gate closed. He set off from the school and head towards the interview place. As he gives a promise, he must make it happen. He would find a job with his experience and recommendation easily. But he kept in mind to find the chance for Jack to shine up again. He was joining the BigShot music distribution company. They invited him three years ago. He was ignoring their invitation. When he called the general manager, he don't think she pick up the phone. Unexpectedly, she picked up and they make a deal. Now, he was coming here for getting into the interview instead of accepting the job. Before he went into the skyscraper building, he is taking the pill to control his excitement. Finally, he went inside by raising up his chest.

Jack Luo was getting inside the school building after greeting the teacher. The two teachers were guarding the gate to wait for the students who are late to attend time. Then, they kept records in their ledger. The late students must run three times on the football court. In front of the entrance, he was crashing into someone else. Then, he saw the girl fall down on the floor near the shoe storage area. He said, "Are you, okay miss?". That girl said, "Ouch! do I look okay to you". Then, he looked closer and said, "Are you?". That girl looked at him saying, "why are you doing this?". He said, "Do what". YooLim said, "Can you help me?". He said, "Sure". During that time, his classmate saw them holding hands. They both said, "It's not something you think". But they didn't stop there. They ran up to the upper floor. He was running after them to shut their mouth. He knew this kind of rumor is not good for both of them. YooLim was changing her shoes and headed to the classroom.
