Chapter 9 - Since When She Was Like Them

♪Yeah

I saw you dancing in a crowded room

You look so happy when I'm not with you

But then you saw me, caught you by surprise

A single teardrop falling from your eye♪

When they were still in high school, it three of that, Winnie had inadvertently revealed an outing to her parents when they believed her lying in her room, but also that she had obtained a fake driver's license which she had used to smuggle into a nightclub. Thanks to his terrible revelation, Denis Colman's network of fake ID card fabrication was dismantled. Winnie was given six weeks of community service and two weeks of deprivation, which she broke. In high school, no one ever knew except Elton that she was the one who had told the elders this secret, otherwise the elders would have looked down on her even more.

♪I don't know why I run away

I'll make you cry when I run away

You could have asked me why I broke your heart

You could've told me that you fell apart

But you walked past me like I wasn't there

And just pretended like you didn't care

I don't know why I run away

I'll make you cry when I run away♪

Because yes, you could say that those high school years were not so rosy, besides if she had not crossed paths with Elton Mayer, they would have been worse. Because of her disability, Winnie was a real subject of mockery, the other students did not hesitate to make fun of her. She had learned in a regular high school because her parents had promised her that if she passed the normal course, then they would all do to pay for an operation that would allow her to regain hearing.

Winnie silently pained for accepting, but still got her part of the deal. His parents too. Unfortunately, this operation was financed in the sad way, but it took place all the same and was a real one.

♪Take me back 'cause I wanna stay

Save your tears for another

Save your tears for another day

Save your tears for another day♪

However, even after the operation, these incriminating looks persisted. As soon as a person saw their Winnie the Pooh prostheses, their demeanor immediately changed, they were treated either with mockery or with pity. Everything the young woman, independent and strong as she was, didn't need. All she hoped for was some draw, but she didn't get it. She still felt so excluded, and bad in her imperfect being.

It was for this reason that Min-Ho's words had reached him so much. In her words, she had found Elton's; those who gave her the value she wanted others to see in her, that potential.

- Save your tears for another day ... that's all! Finaly, I got it, yeah !

The rays of the sun shone on Winnie's dull, delicate skin as she still snored. The night had been so short for her as she had been reflecting on her newcomer's words all night long, that she did not fall asleep until she was done in the early hours of the morning. When Elton entered his room, he found the young woman lying on the floor surrounded by a hundred leaves. Even on the floor, Winnie looked comfortable, she couldn't seem to hold back the discomfort from the floor. Her phone rang and roused her violently from sleep, so much that leaves stuck to her cheek. She gurgled:

- Yes I'm here! ... I'm awake I'm here! I'm here !

Then she jumped on her cell phone.

- Hello? Yes ?

- Look on your Insta page, ordered Min-Ho on the phone.

- Why ..., she did so and the sight of what was happening she definitely woke up from sleep. Shit ... But what the ... What the hell did you do?

- And on Facebook or Naver, it's even worse. Finally, I didn't need to add more, my subscribers took care of it for me.

Winnie was looking at the thousands of comments and edits made on social networks. Some were more horrible than others, others more funny or hurtful; while others found the girl beautiful despite the grimace, or cute and funny. They all asked in their own ways who this girl was, and what she meant to Benjie, while others were already speculating ...

- What is the point of all this circus, you want to destroy my life is that?

- No, Min replied calmly, I am as much a victim as you, but ... It just turns out that in view of the situation, this photo could prove to be advantageous for me.

- You're not nice, you want to kid me!

- Tell yourself that you need an executioner.

Min-Ho then hung up, and he said to himself:

- I hope she takes the bait, because I'm running out of time and ideas.

Winnie collapsed onto the bed and began to swear at him.

- How dare he treat me like that, after all the nice songs I gave him? Free in addition! I let myself be coaxed by her angel face and chewy little cheeks ... she screwed up her face again but quickly came back to earth and screams, theirs! A lie tied to perfection! I hate you angels! ... Except Park Chaneol; yes, except him.

Winnie came out of her room, more determined than ever to change her friend's mind. She wanted this job, and she wasn't planning on going back to New York without a fight, or rather without lying.

Elton was tidying up the apartment they had stayed in for a month already, the young man eager to return to his hometown couldn't help but express his joy; at least until Winnie came back to tell him about his crazy idea. The young woman walked up to him and said:

- Elton Carter Hamilton, I have to talk to you about something of the utmost importance.

- Winnie Minogue, that's no use; I know very well, replied Elton calmly, what you are talking about and I have already given my answer on this subject.

- Well, I'm here to appeal, I'm asking for a second hearing ...

- Winnie you can't stay in such a big city on your own, it's dangerous!

- I know and I will be careful but I cannot leave because ...

- Yes ? Because ?...

In Winnie's head at that moment ideas jostled, he needed the perfect pretext. So she hurriedly blurted out:

- Because I met someone! Yeah, I ... I met a man, and we're in love and ...

- Ah well, sketched Elton unconvinced, And when was that?

- Well ... There was uh ... In fact we had known each other for a long time and luck would have it that we would meet in Seoul.

- Ah yes ?

- Yeah! That's right, we fell in love with it, and now I can't live without him and him ... Without me.

Elton stared at her for a long time as she waited for her to confess the truth, but this time Winnie was assuredly resigned to lying to her May to make her wish come true. He just had to agree and support her no matter the true story.

- And ... can I know who that is?

- From Benjie! Spit Winnie who regretted quickly but did not show it.

The young man fell from the clouds, he cried:

- Really ? The real Benjie?

- The real ... Real, flesh and blood and beauty, the real Benjie.
