You're An Orphan

Jung-Won enters the house after an exhausting day. He drops himself on the couch. Soon-Ja comes to him with a glass of water. She passes him the glass and Jung-Won glances at her coldly. “Who asked you to give me water?” her smile drops. He lets out a sigh and takes the glass. “Thank You.” Soon-Ja smiles and shakes her head. Suddenly their attention diverges on the door as the car stops. Eun-Hee gets out of the car and bows before entering the house. Jung-Won's eyes frown when his gaze meets Dr. Haneul, who is smirking. “What's wrong with this man?” He shakes his head and smiles brightly at his wife. He stands up and hugs her, Eun-Hee hugs him back and after that she kisses all over his face, causing him to giggle. Soon-Ja feels uncomfortable and is about to go. “Wait,” she stops as Jung-Won stops her. 

“I know you were standing here for any purpose. Speak up. I am tired and need to rest.” Her eyes widen but she immediately comes back to reality before Jung-Won's minds change. “I got a job as a personal assistant. Tomorrow is my first day.” She says excitedly. “So?” Jung-Won questions rudely, causing her to glance down. “I am so happy for you Soon-Ja.” Eun-Hee glares at Jung-Won and shares a warm hug to Soon-Ja. “Thank You. I am so thankful to you, Mrs. Geun.” Soon-Ja bows to them and makes her way to the room. “You are so rude, Mr. Geun.” Eun-Hee angrily leaves for her room. “Ya, listen to me.” he runs to her whining like a little baby. 

In the morning Soon-Ja wakes up as the alarm rings. She smiles brightly and jumps out of her bed, and makes her way to the restroom for a quick shower. Soon-Ja glances at her through the mirror and puts a little light makeup on her face. She wears a simple, elegant black knee-length one-piece dress. Soon-Ja smiles and lets out a sigh. “Best of luck.” She wishes herself luck and takes her file before heading out of her room. Soon-Ja grasps everyone’s attention towards her as heels make the tick sound echo. Mrs. Young smirks as she gets something from her mind. Soon-Ja feels uncomfortable because everyone's gazing at her weirdly. Eun-Hee clears her throat, indicating everyone back to their work. 

“You are looking pretty.” Eun-Hee compliments her, causing her to smile. Soon-Ja bows at her. Eun-Hee shakes her head and hugs her. Jung-Won smiles at Eun-Hee's caring behaviours. It reminds him of the old days. “Eun-Hee, honey, take a bath before going to the hospital.” Everyone frowns. “Huh?” “You hug the dirt.” Mrs. Young chuckles, Soon-Ja world shatters on her words. She gazes on the floor as ears wells in her eyes. Jung-Won tightens grip on the glass. “She steals this dress, I am damn sure.” Soon-Ja clenches her dress as anger rushes in her. “Stop it,” she says calmly. “Mrs. Young, I respect you so much, but it doesn't mean I can't stand for myself. I am so thankful to Mrs. Geun, and I always will. I am an orphan, but not a thief. Soon, I will leave this house. I can’t tolerate someone’s insult and please, I am requesting you to stop saying harsh words to me. I am also a human and as well all orphans are human. We never wished to live this life in a judgy world. This is not our fault our parents left us.” She tilts her head up and smiles brightly. “They are just unlucky because they lost us.” Soon-Ja wipes her tears away and bows before leaving them in deep thoughts.

Jung-Won stands up after her and smiles at his wife. He kisses her head and walks away. “He didn't say bye to me.” Mrs. Young looks down sadly. “Because I told you many times not to be too harsh on Soon-Ja. It reminds him of the past. You know about what happened and why you always caused such drama? I do not want to lose my husband at any cost, please.” Eun-Hee takes her phone and steps out of the house, leaving Mrs. Young all alone. “Soon-Ja you have to pay for it. You are making my life hell.” Mrs. Young says, while gritting her teeth.

Soon-Ja lets out a sigh as she reaches in time. She bows to everyone. Gyeol Don-Hyun smiles when he sees her coming towards him. She bows him 90 degrees, causing him to chuckle. “Welcome Ms. Seon.” he bows her and shows her the way to the boss’ office. Soon-Ja gladly follows him, not knowing who is going to be her boss. Don-Hyun shows her thumbs up as she softly knocks on the door. Her heart is pounding when she hears a deep voice allowing her to come in. Soon-Ja heaves a deep breath and pushes the door. Her eyes widen when she sees Jung-Won sitting on the chair staring at her, confused. “YOU” both of them yell in shock, causing Don-Hyun to come inside. “What happened? You both know each other?” He questions, making them nod at him. “Yeah.” Soon-Ja whispers as both eyes never leave each other. “Great, it will be easy now.” he says and leaves them. Jung-Won signs her to sit. She nods and follows his commands. She closes her eyes and breaks eye contact with him. Soon-Ja places her file on the table and pushes it near to Jung-Won, who is patiently waiting. He shifts his attention to the file and takes it to read. 

Jung-Won is amazed as he sees her records. “So you have graduated in business management. You can apply for the best job. Why did you choose our company as an assistant?” He questions. “I want experience. I gave a lot of interviews and they asked me about my experience.” He nods, understanding her situation. “I will never let you down.” Her words make his heart speak a beat. “Welcome to our company. I will tell Don-Hyun to tell you about everything. You may leave now.” She nods and stands up to leave. Soon-Ja looks back and smiles before saying. “Good day, Mr. Geun.” He smiles and nods.

“So, you are giving me a warning about something I never did.” Eun-Hee says to Dr. Haneul. “You broke my heart, EUN-HEE.” He is panting badly. “Relax, you are the one who started this a long time ago.” Eun-Hee says politely, making him lose his mind. Haneul leans close to her as they are standing in the office. Eun-Hee’s back is touching the chilly wall. He traps her between his arms. Their eyes are never leaving each other. Haneul is leaning his face close to her. Eun-Hee closes her eyes when their noses touch. Flashbacks of the past rushes in her memories. Eun-Hee harshly pushes her with all of her force. “STAY IN YOUR LIMITS, I AM FREAKING MARRIED.” She shows him the wedding ring on her finger and rushes out of the office furiously. “No, you love me and you will always love me. I will make sure of it.” Haneul runs his hand through his hair.

“Thank you for helping me, Mr. Gyeol.” Soon-Ja smiles. “It’s Don-Hyun. You can call me Don.” he winks at her and they chuckle. “Let’s go. The meeting is about to start.” She nods and follows him. Everyone heads to the conference hall for the meeting. Soon-Ja heaves a breath and enters the hall as well. She bows and takes her seat beside Jung-Hoon. “Let’s start the meeting.” Jung-Hoon says and everyone nods. As the light turns off and everyone gazes on the screen, showing some presentation. Soon-Ja hisses when she feels a cold hand travel on her thigh. She closes her eyes and jerks the hand away and glances at the person who is smirking at her. Soon-Ja controls herself, not waiting to create drama in the meeting. 

Everyone steps out of the hall as the meeting is over. Soon-Ja feels uncomfortable because of his dirty gaze. Jung-Won notices her strange behaviour and glances at the man, who is smirking at her disgustingly. He sighs and ignores as he thinks it is not his concern there are many people who can help her. Jung-Won steps out of the hall along with Don-Hyun. Soon-Ja takes the file and is about to go suddenly stops when the man grabs her wrist. She panics and tries to get out of his grip, but he pulls her to him. Her back touches his hard chest, and he grips on her waist tightly. “Why are you behaving like an innocent girl? I know you are an orphan and we must sleep with a lot of men. That’s why you got a job easily.” He snuggles face into her neck,  causing her to feel disgust. “LEAVE HER RIGHT NOW OR YOU GONNA REGRET IT.”
