O N E

HANEUL

Another day! Another busy, busy day. Why can't my life be a normal one and not a tough one? I sighed as I continued to apply blush on one of the Customers.

"I'll add few more touch-ups then you're done, okay?" I smiled politely, but she looked annoyed. "Okay, but do it real quick. I have to be somewhere and I don't wanna be late." She said harshly but I didn't flinch. It was a routine to me. I was used to that kind of behavior. Rather bored of it.

I quickly nodded, and after few moments later, I was done. She took a glance at herself and she looked impressed. "You're good. I like your work." She smiled to me. I thanked her and quickly escorted her to the exit.

I took a glance at myself, "Only if I was that beautiful." I sighed. I wasn't good looking. I had shoulder-length hair. I was 5'6 and was not so attractive. Not that I wanted to be. The only good feature of mine ,or I should consider, as were my eyes. My big blue eyes. I get complimented a lot because of them. But except for that, I was just an average girl with average looks living an average life. That's a lot of average ,isn't it? Yeah thought so.

"Yah Haneul! You know, I can take your place. You look tired too. Go get some rest and I'll tell Ms. Choi that you were not feeling well, okay?" Mira, my co-worker said smiling to me. Huh? That's new.

So basically, Mira is type of person you do not wanna be friends with. She's cunning, evil and a B*tch too! Sorry for the bad word. But she tried so many times to get me fired. She herself told me that she don't like me. I don't even know why? And now she's all friendly to me. I wonder what she's planning.

"Er, no thanks. I'm not tired. I can do my work. But thank you for your concern." I said to her, even though I really needed a break, I can't trust her. "Its ok. I know you probably don't trust me or, or even hate me too, but trust me, I care for you that's why I said this." She said, smiling sadly. Okay?

"No thank you-" as if on the cue, my stomach grumbled. Damn you! Heat went all up to my face.

"See! You should take a rest. I can handle the customers. Now go." Okay. If she insists.

I thanked her went quickly grabbed my things and went to restroom.

I was very hungry. I took out my rice cakes and start munching on it. Why only rice cakes? Well I'm not rich nor do I have enough money. I have two jobs. One is at a superstore and the other is here, as a Makeup artist. I know having two jobs is tiresome but when you have only few money and heavy rent to pay, it becomes a necessity.

I was born in Asan, a small town of South Korea. I didn't have many friends. The only friend I had was Yoora. She was a rich girl but she wasn't spoilt. She was kind-hearted, that's why she was my bestfriend. She was always there for me. When my parents died, even when my aunt kicked me out, she always supported me. Even helped me to get a stable life. But because of some circumstances, she had to leave me. We promised to be in touch but we both know that it wasn't possible.

After she left me, I was all alone. But eventually, I learned to live like this. I earn enough money to live. And I think that's enough to be happy ,right?

But I hope that this all will change someday. Someday, I'll be able to live well.

I'll be happy.

"HANUEL! Ms. Lee Haneul!"

My trails of thoughts got cut when I my name. Who is it? I gasped when I realized that it was my manager.

Oh no!
