《BE ALRIGHT》2

I woke up to the sound of my phone that's been ringing for a couple of minutes already so I open up my eyes and reach over to my phone seeing Jackson's name on it.
I slide the answer button and put the phone right on my ear.
" Jennieyah" he said in a low tone
" what is it Oppa, I'm sleeping" I said
"go here now. Dad's really mad. I sent Mr. Kang already, I'll see you later go here quickly cause dad's not really in the mood" he said and ended the call.
I furrow my brows not knowing what he's talking about. I take a shower and put on a short and plain white shirt with a coat over it.

When we arrived at the villa I went in and saw mom as well so I greeted her first and sit right beside Jackson with dad in front of us having a phone conversation as he threw the iPad into Jackson's lap and handed it back to me.
'Jennie Kim of Kim & Wang company yelled at a woman in the lobby of their own company' I put down the iPad as I saw the headline of the news. I don't even want to read the rest of the article
Once dad finished talking to someone over the phone he looks at me dead in the eye and crosses his arms.
"what are you thinking Jennie? Are you trying to sabotage the name of the company?" he said with a stern voice
" look the girl started it she didn't even know I am one of the owners of the com—"
"shut it!" dad yelled
"does that give you a right to yell at a girl in public? Now how can we clear up that mess? The company called me and some investors are trying to pull out their shares are you happy about that" he said with his eyebrows furrowed.

" I didn't know there are media there" I said
"wait let's calm down first" my mom said smiling at me
" wait up," Jackson said "uhh..can I speak?" he asked raising his hand a bit while looking at dad scared that dad will get mad at him as well
"you told Jennie that she can take the company once she's on a relationship right?" he said and I immediately snap my head towards him knowing how his mind works
"your point is?" my dad asks
" the girl seems to not know Jennie and so does Jennie. Now we can propose a deal to that girl. Jennie can have the company and we can tell the media that they're just arguing like normal couples" Jackson said and all of us grew silent while looking at dad.
"no" I disagreed "dad why do you want me to be in a relationship so bad when I can run the company on my own"
"I don't want you to look for a partner to run the company with them. Do you know how many complaints I get every day because of how you treat our workers and even our shareholders." he said
"and my relationship status doesn't have anything to do with this"
"Jennie, to whom do you really listen? Do you obey anyone?"
"I fucking obey you, dad! do you not see that?!" I said in a higher tone
"you obey me cause you need the company" he said which makes me shut my mouth "I need someone to change you for the better. I need someone who will make you feel like you need to be a better person to those people around you. Now do you have a better idea than Jackson?" he asked so I just sighed out and stays silent "Mr. Kang" he called out while still looking at me "even if you agree or not we'll do this, you will still benefit from this anyway" dad said so I just sit there and put my head down "Mr. Kang please escort the girl here" dad said

Lisa's POV
"I'm so sleepy" I said while the teacher's busy writing notes on the board.
"let's ditch" Jisoo said and I immediately hit her head
"if I ditch they'll put me in detention and there's a possibility that they'll call our parents when I don't have one" I said sighing
"then that's better that they won't call anyone" she said to make me feel a bit better
"do you even use your brain sometimes?" I asked and she immediately shakes her head
"do you have work later?" she asked as I nod my head
"Alright, don't run into mad women again" she said laughing when we heard a knock from the door so the teacher immediately walk outside
"he'll probably go to the principal's office and he'll end up canceling the rest of the class" I said smiling. He went in after a minute and look all over the room.
"Lisa" he called out so I immediately stood up "you can go now, someone's waiting for you" he said making me confused
"what do you mean?" I look over at the door and saw two men in their suits
"Sir, I don't know them" I said making Jisoo stand up "sir no! they'll get Lisa and sell her organs" she said pulling my arm
"shh Jisoo sit down, they said that they are the bodyguards of your girlfriend" he said making my eyes go wide
"girlfriend?!" I said confused
"girlfriend?!! Lisa you rascal! You didn't tell me you got a girl didn't I tell you ill get one first?" she said with her brows furrowed
"I'll just tell you when I'm informed about this as well" I said in a low tone so that it's just the two of us who can hear it while everyone else is gossiping about the group of men outside who's wearing something formal but it seems like they're all working for one person.
I grab my bag and told chu that I'll just see her tomorrow before walking out of there
"you might've picked the wrong person, there's a couple of Lisa in this school" I said lowly as I heard my classmates chit-chatting about how rich this girl could be and that I'm too lucky.
"Please come with us, Miss Kim the girl you argued with last night will talk to you" one of them said so I furrow my brows
"the girl who yelled at me?! Who is she anyway?" I ask while we start walking out of the campus
"she's Miss Jennie Kim one of the heirs of the Kim & Wang company" he explained everything about who Jennie is while we're at the car on our way to a huge mansion... it's fucking huge that their guardhouse looks like the apartment I'm staying at. When the car pulled over they open up the door for me and lead me inside the huge huge house
once we arrived at the huge living room I saw some people sitting on the couch. "Mr. Kim, Ms. Manoban's here" the guard says
"Lisa, just call me Lisa please" I told him before walking to the group of people
"Please sit down Miss Manoban"

8 135A Will to Recognize
What do you think it takes to live? Is it strength? Power? Magic? Unparalleled intelligence? Or are they all mere accessories to the fact that life is irrelevant? Do you have what it takes to bear the burden of life? Does life even matter? I don't know, and to be frank, I am somehow alive; I was even able to function in society at one point. It frightens me to think no one else knows our purpose: not our parents, friends, or mentors. And I can't bring myself to surrender to any religion. But I do have a direction. A goal, one might say. My wish is to one day shout on top of the highest mountains, "Life doesn't frighten me!" But that won't happen. Because I died a long time ago. ... You're still here? That? Oh it was all in the script. You didn't think I'd actually say that cringey stuff, did you? ~Daniel

Finally, the white fox girl realizes she has been treated as nothing more than a prey item ready to be devoured. She's staring at the night skies for a long time and slowly closes her eyes once she gets that divine premonition from somewhere else. It was soothing in the mind.

Before her senses faded, that glowing angel descended, knelt in front of her, and wiped away her tears. She doesn't know how to express her gratitude to the heavens above for blessing her with a fulfilling and peaceful life. Even if it was a mere single moment, that gratitude and that smile of hers were the happiest things she could ever express. Time has passed, and the sun has risen from its slumber. The soul of the thousand-year-old white fox girl finally ascended to heaven, leaving her lifeless, cold body behind, leaning against rusted metal poles.
