"I'm going out for a bit!" I say, without making any eye contact with anyone.

"Where do you think you're going this hour !!??". I could here voices shouting from the other side of the door but i was too distracted to be bothered by them!

*AT HOME*

I first started with BB cream, lip tint and eyeliner. I stare at the face in the mirror. Yeah! It's me!hmmm..... Wow the lip tint has a nice colour. ALL DONE !! I glance at the mirror once again

Wait it feels like something's is missing... still, somehow it seems better than before...

*SLAM* the door flies open *GRUMBLE*

"Ever heard of knocking you lunatic?"

"Sis! Mom asked me to bring you th-"... his words stop as soon as I look back at him.

"Wow" he says with eyes deeply staring at my face before closing his eyes by his palms.

"So....HEHE!! How do I look!!? Isn't it beautiful! Say something! Tae~ hello?"

He immediately peeks from slowing opening an eye and shuts it again quickly.."aahh!! That hurt my eyes!! Ohh my eyes!! Oh my heart is pierced!! That's enough to blind a man at first sight!!"-

"Ahh!! Taee~ what's your problem huh ? *throws pillows* just leave my room punk !!" Why did he say that, do I look that weird ? But it seems better than the earlier face...

*Next day*

*glance* *Murmur*

This is so awkward....is everyone staring at me ? This must be how pretty girls feel everyday. I enter the classroom

"stay calm, Jugyeong! I mumble.

min-ah and Jeonghye look at me and burst into laughter.....

"BAHAHA!! HAHA!!!" -

"holy crap, look at her. HAHA!!! "-

"hey, is she going for an old makeup looks?" -

"She looks like she used black marker to draw on

her eyes. HAHA!!!" -

I knew it....a girl like me is ugly even with make-up on.

* AT HOME*

I click a selfie and post it on instagram

*****BB+ eyeliner + lip tint...does it look weird? I need objective feedback*****

**You should start by fixing your eyebrows....they look like caterpillars...**

"Oh god she's right, I better trim my eyebrows". Let's go and get some more products.

"Mom! I'm going out for a while"-

*ONE HOUR LATER*

*

HUFF HUFF*

"Where should I start first ?...now let me start with my eyebrows....!!

*Pring* *scritch*

uhhhh...did I trim them too much. *Tears* it's okay ! I can draw them again! I trimmed my eyebrows....now it's time for double eyelid glue. Crap!! What happened!! Try Jugyeong try!! Ugh... this isn't right either! Again Jugyeong!...hey! That works pretty good ! Man, double eyelid glue is hard to use:(...now the eyelashes *squeeze*

Curler, next lenses, finally mascara....oh my god! Is this really me!? Once i draw on my eyebrows....

*Click click* i again click a selfie of myself and post it on instagram.

****

I need your feedbacks again, I tried fixing my makeup****

<Wow, you nailed it! You look pretty>

<Are you the same person? You look stunning>

"T-They think .... I'm...pretty..!!"

Wooaaahh they think I'm pretty! From that day on, I started reading beauty blogs and make-up magazines. I spent the entire last winter vacation if middle school practicing my make-up. And then my life began from a new point!!

*At the school*

"Relax Jugyeong" I encouraged myself. Thankfully I ended up at a school far enough that hopefully no one'll recognize me...The students look so cles to each other, it'll be hard to approach them. Oh well, I'm used to being on my own... I just hope no one picks on me.

*Whisper*

"Hey check her out!"-

"Wow, she's pretty!"-

Are they talking about me..?? *Blush*

"She's beautiful!"-

"Holy crap!"-

"She's freaking gorgeous!!"-

"Is her name Jugyeong?"-

They think I'm pretty !! All that practice during winter vacation paid off big!!

"Uhh...hello!! What's your name?"-

I could hear someone talking... probably trying to get my attention...

"Hii, my name is Jugyeong. Park Jugyeong.nice to meet you." I bow.

"Hey no need to be so formal with us..by the way.. I'm chae-rin!!"-

"Hello... I-I'm .....Sua. Kang sua.nice to meet you too" she bows.

"Ahh.. don't be so shy sua!"- chae-rin hits her arm.

"Uh.. you're so pretty, can i have your number?"-

"Yea.."

Bonding with the other kids was easy.

*At home*

I've become pretty well-known.i wash my make-up off. Ahhhh....it feels so good without make-up.....

"argh..... seriously, who are you? You totally look like a different person... where is my ugly sister.. someone has replaced my ugly noona with a pretty girl~" Here comes my great brother-_-

"So what! And you'd better not act like you know me when we're in public" my  cold words kind of annoy him..

"Oh yeah? Well then, I'm gonna take a picture of your real and ugly face and show everyone!"-

*Click* *flash*

"Hey damn it!! Hand it to me or I'll destroy you boy!! TAEHYUNG!!! TAE!! STOP IT!!"

I Start chasing him.

"Not until I get something!"

"So..what do you want? A gucci slap?"

*Evil's laugh*

"It was not even funny!!"-

"I'll buy you some fried chicken. Now delete it!!" I sigh.

"Deal?? So you buy me some fried chicken and I delete the ugly photo of yours?"

"Yeah! Deal!!"

"Photo delete your highness!!"-

*NEXT DAY*

"Jugyeong! Where are you going?"-

"You!! You better call me noona or count your days to getting thrown out!!"

"Yeah...whatever!!"-

"By the way I'm going to the comic shop"

"Bring me some ice-cream on your way back home!"-

"Are you even paying for it!!??"

NO REPLY!!

*AT THE STORE*

"Uhh!" While getting a book out from the shelf, i could feel someone's hand in my shoulder. I turn back to see the face.

"Ahh..i saw the book first!!"- the boy speaks glaring at me.

"I-is he a celebrity?.." i mumble.

"Heyyy i saw it first. It's mine!"

He pulls the book out of my grip..pays for it and leaves...

*Mind blown*

I stand there, dumbfounded. "WHO CARES...HAA? What he thinks ? He saw it first? How can he act so rude? What about me? What if i saw it first? I can't believe this!!"

I start walking home. "AAhh...Jugyeong don't forget to get some ice-cream for Taehyung!"

"I'm home!"

"Hey sis! Where's my ice-cream?"-

"Here!"

"Thanks sisie!"-

"Since when did you start speaking ao sweet...btw i hear you've been dating someone!"

"Says who?!"-

"She probably look just like me when she's without make-up you know right!!!....."

"You have to face the harshness or reality, my dear~"

"Go away!!"-
