"Jisooyah where are you? I'm already here" I said through our phone call since the class will start in 10 minutes.
"We're on our way" she said making me confused
"We? " I asked looking around since Mr. Kang was the only one who dropped me off earlier since Jennie's already gone when I woke up. Mr. Kang told me she's too busy these days
"You'll be shocked. Wait for us " she said and hang up so I waited for a couple more minutes when she arrived with a tall man wearing sunglasses and when they approached me the tall man looks up at me making me frown as I hit his head
"Lisayah! Is that how you greet your best friend? " he says while scratching his head
"You didn't even call us you dumb ass" I said hitting bambam on his head once again. He started explaining about going back to Thailand and all of those stuff before we started running to our first subject. He also told me to tell him the story that Jisoo was bragging about which is Jennie so almost the whole time we had, I kept talking about Jennie.
After our lunch a guy from our next class walk towards us saying that we can go home early cause our next teacher's not here and it is our last subject.
"We probably should eat outside tomorrow... I need to unpack and join my family for dinner " bambam said when we finished eating so I just nodded and bid my goodbyes to both of them.
"Mr. Kang," I said putting my phone on my right ear while I started walking on the parking lot
"I have no classes now... Did Jennie eat already? " I asked
"Not yet, she's busy with a lot of meetings. I'll go there now, wait for me. " he said hanging up so I just stood there on the side smiling at those people who know me. After 10 minutes Mr. Kang arrived and he opens up the back door for me.

"Mr. Kang I'll sit on the passenger seat" I said and I can see that he's not used to that since he hesitated first but he just nodded back at me and I immediately walk towards the other side to get inside.
"Can we get some Chinese food for take out? I'll eat lunch with Jennie. Even though I already did but I'll just join her" I said putting my seat belt on before Mr. Kang started driving.
Once we arrived at the company I grab one of the food that I ordered and pass it to Mr. Kang
"You can have that for lunch that's why I ordered 3" I said making him smile as he thanked me. After parking the car we both went straight to the elevator to go to the 11th floor where Jennie's office is located.
Jennie's secretary immediately bowed down when she saw me so I bowed at her as well
"Is Jennie inside? " I asked making her shake her head
"She's currently on a meeting. Do you want me to call her? " she asked so I just shake my head
"What time will it be done? " I asked looking at the clock on her table
"Around 1, but she has more meeting afterward" she said, It's currently 12:30 so Jennie has 30 more minutes
"Well she should've at least go for lunch right? " she nodded "if she's going for lunch tell her I'm here. Can I go inside to wait? " I asked making her chuckle
"Of course ma'am " she said so I nodded and thanked her before walking inside Jennie's office which is the most elegant office I saw in my whole existence. I walk towards Jennie's table and put the food down.
She has a lot of papers here and there. I sighed and started organizing her table and piling them up according to the papers so that Jennie won't get angry if she saw that her papers are shuffled. Once I finished I looked around and saw that her room is clean so It's alright if I won't clean up that much.

I walk towards her chair and sit down on it... I hope she doesn't mind tho. I look around her table for at least a couple of minutes and started getting bored so I open up her computer and hopefully she won't get mad. Then I started watching a kdrama laying my head on the table while watching it and soon enough I didn't know that I doze off.

Jennie's POV
"Miss Kim " my secretary said when she saw me walking out of the elevator
"What? " I asked stopping right in front of her table
"Miss Manoban is here" she said ducking her face a bit before looking towards me
"Did she just arrived? " I asked keeping my straight face on.
"uh about that... She told me not to tell you that she's here if you're busy unless you'll say that you'll go out for lunch. But then I guess you continued with your meeting. She's been here since 12:30 " she said making me frown so I walk inside seeing Lisa sitting on my chair with her head on the table. I walk towards her and saw some food on my table and also my papers are all organized on the side. I looked at the computer and a kdrama has been playing and Lisa's sleeping. I looked at my wristwatch and it's already 8 in the evening. Did she wait for me for 7 and a half hours? Fuck, I didn't even know.
I was about to wake her up when my phone vibrates from my coat pocket so I pulled it out and answered
"Miss Kim, Mr. Lee, and some investors are here for your meeting" one of my staff says making me groan as I end the call. I look back at Lisa and contemplate if I should wake her up already when I heard a knock on the door but it's open anyway so I look at the door and saw Jackson standing there.
"Hi little sister" he says smiling while looking at me then his gaze falls on Lisa "oh Lisa's here" he said walking inside my office.
"Look Jackson, I have another meeting so I can't stay longer. Lisa brought this so might as well wake her up and eat these" I said grabbing a couple of papers from my table
"I would love to... Those are Chinese foods" he said happily while looking at the food as I went out of my office.

8 194The Fundamentals
You hear of many tales out there. Some depict worthy heroes wielding tremendous power, noble personas that fight to save the lives of their close friends, family, and all the rest. Good triumphs over evil, that is simply the way the world works, no? While this premise is something inherent to nearly all stories, what exactly the heroes used to attain success can differ greatly. Perhaps they've trained themselves to the limit, pushing past boundaries nobody else could hope to achieve. Others still, have merely inherited the grand legacy of another legendary being, but what they have done with such a legacy would cause their names to be passed on for generations. Rowan is one of the heroes who have ventured beyond the horizon, tempering themselves on a perilous journey all the while and succeeding in attaining strength beyond measure. However, in an unexpected turn of events, this strength caused him to tear open and fall through a hole in the realm he resided in. Now he has ended up in a completely foreign realm, whose inhabitants utilized strange powers that eclipsed his own. Fortune would smile upon him this day, however, as he discovered that they were not hostile, and even offered to teach him their ways. Rowan could see that this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and eagerly accepted their invitation to learn what would come to be known as: The Fundamentals.
