"If we talk any more, we'll start a fight. Let's stop talking."



"······."



"From now on, don't worry about who I date."
"You have to do it in moderation."










Jimin shut his mouth at the sight of Taehyung's angry expression, something he rarely saw. As Taehyung slammed the door shut as he entered his room, Yoongi ate pizza and urged Jimin on.









"Oh, so why did you do that to Taehyung? Stop it, ugh."



"······. I'm sorry···. But···!"



"But what, what. You bad boy."



"Really, Kim Yeo-ju... I don't think she's a good person...'

"I don't really like that guy's girlfriend either, but he keeps his mouth shut."
"You'll figure it out. Are we Kim Taehyung's parents?"



"······."



"You really shouldn't say anything to Taehyung anymore...!"



"Ha, sir..."



"Why, what's bothering you so much?"









Yoongi continued to question Jimin, who seemed to have stopped talking and seemed frustrated. Was he obtaining some kind of evidence, rather than circumstantial evidence? Yoongi tossed the pizza aside and asked, and Jimin hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I saw Kim Yeo-ju working part-time at a meat restaurant."

"Hey, lady! Please change the table at table number 6."



"yes!"









My day is busy. I wake up in the morning, go to school, and as soon as school ends, I rush to the convenience store. I work part-time at the convenience store and study for a bit, and before long, the sun sets and evening falls. When it gets dark outside, I head to a barbecue restaurant.










"Mom! Is this because my sister can't study?"



"Ugh~ If Somin doesn't study, she'll end up like this when she grows up. She'll have to clean up after herself~"



"Really? Then I have to study hard!"









With only two part-time jobs a day, I deal with countless scams. This is one of the most frustrating. I deal with these scams with my honed lying skills. My life is a lie. I haven't faked my identity, but I've also told countless lies in my life that others wouldn't even dare imagine. For example:









"Haha, Somin, even if you study hard, you still have to clean up the dirty things in life."



"Huh... Really?"



"Yeah, my sister goes to Seoul National University. It's the best school in our country."



"Wow..."



"But Somin, you need to learn manners before studying!"



"Wh, what? Did you just finish talking? Where did you come from when you work at a meat restaurant..."









A kid over ten years younger than me was constantly talking informally to me. I kindly advised him that he should prioritize manners over academics, but his parents, who were listening, suddenly stood up, spit in my face, and yelled. "Yeah, yeah. If he wasn't going to act like this, I wouldn't have taught him this in the first place."












"Yeah~ I'll keep my mouth shut, Seoul National University student who works at a meat restaurant without studying. I guess the lady graduated from Harvard or something. Is that why she taught the child like this?"




"Is this bitch really crazy...!"










Just as the woman raised her hand high, about to slap me across the face, the boss came rushing out of the kitchen. Our boss isn't like the villains in the dramas. He doesn't ask me to kneel and apologize, nor does he repeatedly bow his head in apology. He just politely refuses to take my money and asks me to leave. This is my daily life. It's a stark contrast to the image of the rich girl I saw at school.

"Hey. Why is Kim Yeo-ju hanging out with Gu Seong-hee these days?"



"So... doesn't it seem like Yeoju is a bit cheap these days...?"



"Seoyoung said she saw Kim Yeoju tearing it apart a few days ago."



"Hey, why is the female protagonist stealing money? LOL. There must be money all over the house."



"Yeah. Seoyoung must have seen it wrong, right?"



"Just in case. Have you heard that rumor too...?"










Rumors started to spread around school. That I was going to school with Koo Seong-hee, that I was in her group, that I had a relationship with Koo Seong-hee's ex-boyfriend, that I turned out to be not the daughter of a rich family... and so on.


I started to get scared. I was afraid everything would get out.
I was afraid that my friends and Taehyung would realize that everything I showed them was just a facade, so I became more thorough.
Because even if I die, I can't go back to how I was before.
