I woke up finding myself in a hospital bed, with a girl holding my hands. It was Park Jiyeon, my best friend for 7 years. We met during my third year when I was doing my degree in pharmacy, I went to this famous mall that was established the very same year. I had decided to treat myself for all my hard by buying myself the limited-edition bag even though I was never going to use but I mean it won't hurt spoiling yourself once in the lifetime even though it would go to waste. I was busy there asking advice from the shop keepers as to which bag will be suitable for and there, she was being crazy herself. I was so surprised to see someone so obsessed with bag, I mean they are just bag for God heaven's sake. To me as long that thing is not something that goes into my stomach, even if I can afford it except for when I'm happy and feel like spoiling myself.
Oh well enough about me, as I was saying. She was busy roaming around the shop, picking bags as if one of those housewives during specials at the market. After such a long time of trying to decide which bag to buy I finally reached a conclusion but unfortunately someone else had her eyes on it too. "Umm excuse me, I had my eyes on it first which means it belongs to me." She said in a cheeky tone while rolling her eyes. "And who are you exactly" I said in an annoying tone after she killed my mood. "Haaa! What the hell? You don't know who I am?" She said in a confused and angry tone. "What? Was I supposed to know you who you are? Do your parents own the world or something, and I happen not to know about it? Oh no! Don't tell me you lost your memory, and you don't remember who you? Do you need me to call the neurology department?" I said with a cheeky tone.
The whole shop burst into laughter; she was so embarrassed to the point that she could not take it. "HEY!!!!! Who do you think you are? Do you.... " I interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. "You can have it; it looks boring. Probably your style" And with just that I left her to explode on her own. Yep, that was me. I never cared if you were rich or poor because to me, all human beings are the same. I never saw any difference between rich and poor because we are all rich in different ways. Before leaving the shop, I told one of the shop keepers to choose a bag that she thinks suit me and send it to my place after I had handled the purchase online then I went to the cafe nearby to have some desert. I ordered chocolate milkshake and dark chocolate cake with mint on top, the one thing that made me to drop everything to come to this mall, not the excuse of buy myself something.
I was busy enjoying my cake when that green tea witch crushed my mood again but this time, I was not letting her go. "Oh my! I thought you were someone with a name, but it turns you are the type to fake being rich. You can't even afford a proper desert, yet you act too arrogant as if you are someone. I bet this was your last savings but don't worry, I'm not the type to let people suffer on my watch." And with that she woke up the Lucifer in me. "HEY!!!!!Who do you think you are? Do you think just because you are from a rich family you can get to do what you want and insult everyone you? Do you think this world is own by your parent? Do you think the world revolves around your family? Well let me tell you something. Everything you have now is not yours, it belongs to your parents and for them to have all of that is because of all to people you look down upon. I'm not the type you would want to mess with coz I may look simple but I can make your life a living hell that not even your family's money won't be able to help you.
And for your information, I can afford very expensive desert but because I know showing off is for losers, I eat anything I feel like eating. I mean its the 21st century, who does that? Anyways I lost my appetite so if you excuse me, I would like to go and entertain those with the same IQ level as mine." I said leaving her shocked by all I just said. As I was leaving, I saw tears in her eyes. I felt bad because it felt like I went too far and might have crushed her self-esteem, so I turned back and apologized to her. "I'm sorry I went too far this time, so do please forgive my rudeness. I never meant to make you cry so please don't cry coz you are making me feel like a horrible person." I said trying to wipe her tears. "You know you are the first person to ever say what is in their lungs coz whenever I bully someone then mention my family's name, they all go quite and endure all my bullying, but it seems like you are not the type to mess with." She said wiping her tears off her face, trying to fake a smile.
"Let me guess, you are the type that grew in a family that has many problems, so you tried spending your money recklessly and bullying people to feel better?" I said trying to get the better view of the whole situation. "That's right, I'm good at fashion and other stuff as long as they don't involve studying hard which is something way less than my family expected so I always get into a fight with my mom whenever I go home." Her eyes began to get teary as she explained. " You know what screw them and what they think, what matters is what you want and if they can't support then they should suit themselves. Lets start afresh, my name is Kim Hana. I'm a third-year student doing pharmacy and starting today I'll be your pillar of support so whatever you do, you have my full support and if they threat to cut off your financial support, don't mind them coz I have enough money to support both us." I said with the biggest smile on my face and she laughed.
It was the most beautiful smile I have ever since, it was pure with no sadness in it and from there we became friends forever. She stopped depending on her family and sold all her bag collection which help pay for the tuition for all the years she needed to do her degree. Oh yes, I forgot to mention. She's also studying fashion and she was darn got at it. After that we became close more than ever, she started doing videos showing off her designs and after we graduated, she opened her own shop which is now well renowned across the world. Ever since we have been looking after each other and supporting each other.
