Third Person's POV

When people say private schools are cool they might probably think about the school fee and those high quality rich-looking uniforms that not everyone can afford their kids to go. Even so, there are not expensive enough to call top because there is 'HALLEY' to be the top of the top high school exist in Seoul.

Not everyone can attend this school, even you have money doesn't mean you can study here. It is required to have all your informations including your properties and how much money your parents make. Just to make sure that all students are from high-level family.

But no one seems to care that the more expensive the school is the more percentage of getting racist and bully they might have to face.

"I've been searching for the best academy here for my only daughter. I heard so much regarding here." A voice of a man speaking.

"We promise you with our best teaching technique and quality. Here is some conditions you need to know and can also request back to us Mr. Baek. We will approve if it is acceptable."

The man nod his head while reading the documents he needs to sign up for his daughter. On the other hand, the school principal also checking the student family's private information because the school have every right to decline any registration that is not enough to be accepted or 'not what they want' in simply word.

When both done signing the papers agreeing with any terms and conditions of each other's request, Mr Baek's secretary handed it back to the principal.

"We are glad that you choose to trust us with your only daughter Mr. Baek." He said with his hand put out for a handshake. Welcoming another daughter of another wealthy family to join in.

THE BAEK's RESIDENT

Knock*. Knock*
A sound of someone knocking on mr.Baek's home office, asking for his permission to come in.

"Come in."  He responded.

One of the maid walking silently to his table with a bow first before speaking.
"Mr. Baek, we did everything you told us to prepared but.... but.. ms Jia..."

She is hesitating.

"But what?"  He asked.

"But she told us to throw the uniforms away and said she won't go tomorrow."

He nods his head understandingly and motioning her to go back to work. He isn't blaming anyone for his daughter behaving, he knows her too well to be surprised with things like this.

He doesn't waste time and try to finished his work very quick and get out of the room to see her.

"Jia, can i come in?"  He stands in front of her door even it's wide open but he still asking.

"Yes yes come come dad."  She patting her bed telling him to sit beside her.

"Should you try on your new school uniform? Daddy want to see how pretty it looks on you."  Mr.Baek using his sweet tone while caressing her hair.

He already knows she commands the maids to throw it away but he has his own ways of convincing her.

"Why do you want me to go so fast?"  She raised her voice a bit at her father feeling so frustrated that after so many years living abroad and away from home all she asked for is some times to get all the rest she wants. "I'm home not a week ago, don't you want to spend time with me?!!!"

To Mr. Baek, Jia is the most important thing in his life. He couldn't stop blaming himself that he can't afford a fully happy family for her after the divorced with her mother. To fix all the damage he made, in returns he try his best to give her everything she wants, big or small, expensive or cheap, he will get her all that.

People said she is a spoiling brat but he doesn't think it is true, instead he knows it is a way of her asking for love and attention from him.

"Jia, I know you miss home and you love sleeping but you can do that after class. You are not at abroad anymore, you are in Seoul and at home."  He kiss her on the forehead.

"But why don't you discuss with me first? You decided it all by yourself, that is very disrespectful."  She pouted while turning her face away from him. She wasn't that mad to be honest but she doesn't want people to be careless when the matter should be discussed with her.

"I know, daddy apology for the mistake okay?"  He explained, "But this is not just a normal school which you want to go or quit as you wish. Thanks to god we have money and you have credit from your boarding school. That's why you get accepted."

Jia is shocked with what she heard. What make it so hard and still have people to send their children there. But for your information, her dad is also one of them.

After cooling down and coming back to her cheerful mood she tries her uniform on to see if it fit her body.

"What do you think daddy?"  She swirls her skirt back and force acting like a kid.

"You look incredibly beautiful. I saw it on the day i sign up for you and immediately knew you will look amazing in it. I wasn't wrong."  He replied, looking at her with so much happiness in the eyes. Having a daughter is like having enough water and salt for the world.

She give him a kiss on the cheek and look at herself again in the mirror. The colour really suit well with her skin tone and her natural dark brown mid-back length hair.

WELCOME TO THE 'HALLEY'.
