Pool Of Life

1. Jun

 

She trusted her mother. Well, not a single soul of mother going to harm her own flesh , no? Literally. She fed her , educated her until twenty years old. Amanda was being a great single mother of two. A mother of her and Kate.

Amanda and Kate were more like sisters than mother-daughter, both were georgeus. Sleek , with dark long hair, their skin smooth milky white like porcelain. Their sparkling brown eyes such a treasure to watch.

Kate engaged to a fine rich merchant named Robb, and thanks to that man , money not became an issue in Amanda's household. Eventhough without Rob's assistance, they were financially okay.

Jun introduced Brooklyn to her mother two months ago right after the couple started dating. " He's so handsome" said Amanda, whispering. Such a rare occation since Amanda not easy to compliment another human being.

Ah ya, that was the first boyfriend Jun ever had in her entire youth. Compare to Kate who had such a heavenly charm, changing boyfriend like changing clothes, Jun was something else. Dated no one, interested to no one. She loved herself too much.

Brooklyn was his coach at gym. Tall, muscular, and generous to everyone. Dating him felt like dating a footballer in europe. Oh, and then, his facial similiar to Virgil Van Dijk.

"I bought you a new shoes, jelly bean . " Amanda called June during lunch break. Her voice sounded cheerfully.

"Thanks Ma. "

" Katty will be home for dinner. Make sure you back early tonight ok ?"

"okay,"

Kate was a year younger. Once she was four, she came back crying to Jun's embrace. "They said I'm a bastard uwaaaaaaa"

"Don't listen to them, Katty. Ugly people always had something to say " Jun kissed her and fed her some ice cream. The beautiful doll stopped crying and forgotten what the neighbours had been gossiping. Weirdly, Jun remembered.

They had different father. Jun met her father once, knew his name, and care less about him. He was a man in fifthy with a family of three, working in government office and sure enough the story would be clear as water that Jun's mother was his mistress. Kate's father maybe someone even worse. Jun little mind wandered around but her mouth locked in the best silence ever.

Does it even matter, doesn't it? Kate had me. Those two dear women had me .We are fine. And they are so god damn beautiful.

As a private tutor, sometime Jun needed to follow her student study outdoor. Some kids liked to study while having meal in cafe ,spent hours to hours. That afternoon, was no exception.

"The hotel restroom will be a luxury, senpai " Lee grinned. She was ten, Jun's little disciple.

"What do you mean"

" Come on, toilet in this mall is too under hygiene"

"I donno you were such a clean freak ?"

Lee grabbed her arm "Ahh let's go. I can't handle it anymore"

Lied. Ha ha

The worst toilet in the park would be fine if you really really in a urge situation. They fled to another building across the road. Heung Min hotel.

Lee went straight to the restroom after talking to receptionist. It was near the sitting lobby, and sure enough that kid had magic on his mouth. Who on earth entering a four star hotel to use their restroom casually? We not even a guest.

A kid had more guts than adults. Jun laughed in her mind. She was not that type either. She broke Amanda's hairpin when she was ten, and didn't have gut to faced her. Not about apologized or felt sorry, it was only uneasy to see her upset. Amanda worked hard as an elementary teacher,the job that offered small salary and full of stress. She never meant to made another worse day for her mother.

Jun grabbed the magazine from the desk beside her seat. Apparently it took longer to wait that spoilled brat. Rich kid with big gut. Rich kid who paid her twice than other client.

Lime scent, high ceiling with remaining christmas ornament. Some distinguish guest spoke in korean to each other in another sofa nearby. Jun made a slight move, gazed to reception counter. Another guest were coming. It was a couple.

A beauty and a handsome man. Hand in hand. In love. If there were any agent passed by, both of them would be perfect as wedding advertisement. Sleek body georgeus hair elegant smile and lovable aura spread to the whole room. Jun's heart suddenly stop beating.

What the heck.

Mother?

She wished her eyes deceived her.

Amanda and Brooklyn went up to second floor, still hand in hand. " Let us order some Teoppoki , honey. I'm a bit hungry. How do you say? " she said. Loud enough to hear since the room was not that noisy from people's conversation.

"Anything you like,sweety"

She wished her eyes deceived her.

She wished she had a glim gut , a little bit gut from Lee to do something. Asked them maybe? Approached them maybe? Screamed at them maybe? Or killed them on the spot maybe? Haha

How unpleasant

Had she sank so low as to hunger after human meat? Her mind were not in proper place as usual. To eat of human meat was abomination,to seize the body of daughter's boyfriend was the worse abomination. No?

So Amanda had been deceived her. Brooklyn was only a human with meat, Jun paid less attention to him as a thought. Amanda was something else that stabbed her heart till the bone. She tried to figure out herself how to handle this situation. Is this some kind of stupid prank? Telenovela?

"You look pale , senpai. "Lee appeared, her breath was touch her cheek. "Are you sick ? "

"No one is sick" Jun stood up. "Let's finish your homework "

Both walked out from the hotel. The breeze of fall winter , soothing her busy mind. She tought she was the strongest. She never cried. Not even once. Her heart was long froze, when she met her step family.

"Don't expect too much from your father, you will not get a dim. Your mother was a ********** who failed and you born out of her carelessness. I hope you still have dignity to stop pestering us. " Priscilla, stepmother.

That time she came to their house , asking for exam fee.

Useless father who abandoned her own flesh. Ah, how if Priscilla was right ? She was only a mistake. A man would never dumb enough to pay additional tip to his failed prostitude. Forget about him. He's useless.

Then now her mother was on the bed with her boyfriend. Made love to her son in law to be. How disgusting. That **********, could she be more shameless than that? Jun never said anything unecessary the whole life, not when her mother was a teacher with UNBELIEVABLE part time job , not when the room smelled liquor, or when she forgotten to cook dinner for her two children. Kate was the one who always crying, whining and complaining alot. Sometime screaming.

Jun closed her eyes. Lee still stood beside her, talking nonstop without knowing anything.

How lonely...

" A mercy " she whispered.Her throat was dry, but it felt good to speak. Tears were coming down, the air smelled of blood and damp. She heard vividly the sound of brake, the people's screaming and Lee's cries.

Ah that little girl, I wish I were a man you would happily marry. Her mind insanely went to Lee, a daughter of richman. Messy thought. Before her mind were completely in the dark, she cursed her mother. Cursed her beautiful weak lucky sister. Cursed herself, a coward who fleeing from the defeat to death.

"Are you his family?" the man asked Lee. He was the driver of the sedan who've been hit by Jun a few minutes prior. Some passerby were helping around to lift up the body to the ambulance.

"Her student, sir. "

"Ha? She's handsome." the man laugh unconsciously and stop immediately , appologized. "Please forgive me for being impolite, I shouldn't laugh"

"Yeah, you shouldn't have to. She might be died. It rude to laugh in a funeral" snapped Lee. She loved her tutor so much.

Yeah, but geez, she's too handsome. The man shook her head , made a phone call , then turned to Lee. " My name is Edward. I will take a full responsibility of your friend, please keep this card and feel free to call me anytime. "

 

Lee accepted the card. " She's my teacher, not my friend. A teacher, a s-e-n-p-a-i, thank you " off she went, run in tears.

They met two years ago when Lee played alone in the basketball court. Lee was eight, short, skinny and angry. She was failed in exam and must repeat the class a year in advance. Her parents were furious, and she herself upset to the hell and back. Then she stayed until midnight in the basketball court.

Jun was there earlier, played by herself. She was five feet, handsome and smelled ice. Never in her life Lee met such a beautiful human. Lee decided to marry her immediately. And of course, Jun turned down that offer without mercy.

"I don't date stupid girl " she said, laughing.

"I will study hard and get a good grade ! "

"Oh ya" still laughing.

Lee was so embarassed but not giving up. "Then how about you teach me?" she shout aloud.

"It's expensive. "

"I'll pay double !! Set your price ! "

Jun laughed, agreed, and Lee went home happily. They met again the next day, until two years passed. Her grades were becoming great, her parents were so proud and spoiled her even more.

You can not die Jun , you can not die. I knew you were lonely and quiet, but you must be here until I graduate from university. You are one and only teacher that I had. I need no one else.

2. The brothers

 

The pain were unbearable, from forehead to eyes. The world went round and round, so uncomfortable. She wanted to vomit so badly. Therefore, she woke up.

"Wow " she said. Stared in surprise. There were three young beautiful bunny stood by her bed, harmless. "Greeting to your highness Yama, you are so radiant today I fear to look on you"

The one in doctor suit , touched her forehead. " U hope too much, little girl " he said, laughing. " Yama won't be that handsome as you think"

"I know," answered Jun calmly, tried to sit down. Started to observe her surrounding.

The room was large, twice larger than tennis court with the glass window as large as the ceiling. Victorian style of design, with a little touch of modern furniture like full screen HD on the wall. The bed itself was definitely enough for four people, huge and comfortable. No portrait, no flower on the wall. The blue curtain was made from silk, in cross stitch embroidery. And the carpet , look at those anatolian touch. Swarovski chandelier hung beautifully on suspended ceiling.

Chaise lounge and reguler sofa placed nicely further from the bed, sided with giant long bookshelves. That room itself definitely spoke some quality of its owner.

" My name is Ran, Ran Jovac. " said the doctor. "The other gentlemen here are my brothers."

Blond, green eyes. "Ariel here "

Dark hair, dark eyes "Arthur "

Both were high products from god, tall , good looking and mighty. Jun quickly decided that her life was not so bad after all.

"You've been unconscious for a week, do you still remember your name? " Ariel came closer. Arthur followed quietly.

" Jun. " answered Jun in low voice, " Thank you for saving me, gentlemen "

" Jun, a teacher is it ? " Ran remembered the report he had been received from the butler.

" A part time tutor. Junior college student "

" You tried to kill yourself "

" It was an accident."Jun laid her back on the pillow. "I just a bit shocked and dozed off "

Arthur handed her the hospital report." It's on us. You don't need to pay or indebted to us. "

Three boys were beyond handsome and kind, but Arthur eyes was the warmest on earth. Roses scented boy.

" Thank you " replied Jun. She knew there was no such a free lunch in the world, but saying those words to her saviors now would not be wise. So she kept the "free lunch kind of words " inside her throat.

" Tell us your story " Ran demanded. The long violet hair man was the eldest from the three.

" You scared her , brother " Ariel complained. " She just regain her consciousness, " then smiled to Jun. " Please don't mind him, Miss Jun "

" Oh I'm fine " telling story to pay the debt. Not a big deal.

" I'm a bastard, My mother was a ********** and I have a sister engaged to a sugar daddy. Both of them are pretty , " she smiled. "And my mother slept with my boyfriend. "

A few second of silence in the room. Arthur and Ariel excused themselves to attended another matter and promised to came back later tonight. Jun could sense their surprised.

Interesting . Telling those story with that straight face, what a girl. She looked fine though, but is that really the case? Ran wondered alot.

He got interested.

He already interested in that girl before, because of her look. A girl who looked too handsome without a single plastic surgery. Now her personality intrigued him even more.

" So you tried to kill yourself , slammed yourself to our car "

" That's not true. I told you it was an accident "

" But your mother slept with your boyfriend,"

" Then should I kill myself for that reason? " Jun laugh. " I just felt disgust, that's it. Not hurting. No one is hurt here "

Ran held her hand. "Do you have any plan? I mean, after you completely recover ,"

Jun sighed. Felt uncertain. " I wish I could just dissapear. Too much disgust won't be good for one health ." maybe next time she would kill herself for real.

" Then how about I give you a hand? "

" So it's been decided " Arthur took a sip of wine. They were in the middle of dinner.

" I got her answered before meeting you guys " answered Ran. " She insisted to crossdressing by the way, "

"I still couldn't believe my eyes, such a handsome face in a wrong body ," Ariel laughed.

" We will have so much fun from now on "

" She looked normal "

" What the meaning of looked normal?"

" I mean, she won't cause us any trouble"

" I believe so. She's dead inside. What a pity."

*Stay here, this mansion is too big for three persons. If you want new identity, you can have our name. Be our sister. Even you can marry one of us later if you interested . Arthur is a lawyer, he will arrange everything*.

Those sentences were light and calm, but Jun reaction was priceless. She tossed around, sleepless. That beautiful doctor left to attend his job after a call, still his presence were here in this very room.

You can marry one of us, she repeated it again. " The shocked therapy from betrayal damaged my brain " she sighed. Too damage to suddenly thought of kissing another man.

A nurse came in to check her condition, changed her bandaged. What kind of household had a private nurse in this era.

A maid came, brought her food. It was six pm. She informed Jun that the masters would had dinner at eight atmost.

" What's your name? " Jun asked her. She decided to take the doctor's offer to stay. If so then she needed to know better about her surrounding.

"Julie, sir ," the maid blushed.

" Thank you Julie, " Jun smiled sweetly. " For taking care of me "

Julie quickly excused herself with the face perfectly juicy red.

Jun smiled again. She did it on purpose. God created her while watching netflix so she came out handsome.

*Good bye the old me, good bye the past. A new me had begun*.

 

3. A new job

 

A few weeks after Jun's recovery, Ariel took her to his working place. It was a huge building in the heart of the city, and everybody adress him high and mighty.

 

" You have appointment at twelve with Enka , boss " welcomed the manager by the lobby door. He nodded to Jun " Good morning young master "

" Good morning John "

Ariel and Jun walked side to side. Everyone on the first floor bowed. " Still early, John . How's the trainee department?"

" The head of department is waiting for your instruction sir "

" Tell him I will visit seventh floor "

" Haik " John pressed the button and let his superior enter the elevator. He took another one.

Ariel's office at eleventh floor, viewing the harbour. He gave Jun the table at the same room. " I will test the trainee myself. What is your opinion, Jun? "

" Wise, "

Jun sat at his chair,started checking the document. Ariel had his secretary helping him removed his coat at another side of the room. Coffee for both were served.

"We have plenty resourcers here. I give you one if you need assistant, perhaps?"

" Not necessary "

" Don't you like owning this building, junior? "

" Stop joking , I'm glad to help."

" Arthur said you don't like his office?"

" Lawyers things , lawyers friends, how boring "

Ariel laughed . He often thought that Jun was more manly than himself. Had him as a new family member definitely a good choice.

The meeting at twelve with Enka's representative: a middle age woman named Nancy Hamdan. Her volumptuous figure was seductive , yet her attitude was otherwise. She spoke direct.

"We want Miss Cathalina only as our product ambassador" she meant only one person needed in this new advertisement. Means, they didn't need another five. Cathalina Buvon was the leader of BMX ,a famous girlband group with six consistent members.

The secretary was stood nearby. Ariel had Jun seated beside him in that guest room and introduced her to the lady previously "We'll having my brother here with us today, Miss Hamdan "

" Jun Jovac, nice to meet you my lady "

Jovac family was famous of being good looking and their harmonious relationship among brothers, but Nancy Hamdan had never witnessed them in person. Today was a special day , she could met one of them in Jovac management headquarter. Jun Jovac in his early twenty , shorter a few centimeter from his brother Ariel, but still unbelievably handsome. Why didn't he appearead more in public ? Entertainment industry would eagerly welcomed him with that look and eyes.

 

"If you'd like to have a single lady in your next project, ma'am, I advise you to look at other candidate. Can't have Cathalina out of the girls, it just our rule. No solo performance allowed"

 

"Ah, what a rule. Such a disadvantage for your company to not to give it a go sir . Don't you affraid I will visit another agency ? "

"If you decide so then It will be a good decision" Ariel smirked. "Then shall we end our meeting now? "

Nancy Hamdan sighed. "Please show me another candidates, Mr Jovac "

Ariel gave sign to his secretary. Another documents be laid on the table. The Enka's representative checked them one by one. Her eyes set on Maria woo. A solo singer.

The contract had been signed and the meeting ended.

 

 

John sent the guest off .

"Shall we have lunch? " Ariel looked at Jun.

"Do you have canteen in this building? "

"I never been there ..."

Jun smiled to the secretary "Claire right? Would you led the way for us? "

The girl blushed. "That's on the sixth floor, young master "

Oh come on , Ariel laughed quietly.

"Have you call eldest brother today?" Ariel glanced across him. Jun enjoyed her tonkotsu ramen. She wore dark blue suit that Ran ordered himself from italian designer. What a handsome creature.

" Since you guys treat me so well, I'll call him now " the girl chuckled.

We met a devil and bring her home , Ariel sighed. "At least text him. He doted you since the first day you came to us "

" Sure , brother "

Ariel had singaporean laksa for his lunch. And this was the first time ever he set his foot on office canteen. The whole building must be covered in gossip by now.

" How many trainee we have so far?"

" A hundred "

" And the debutant?"

" Ten "

" Too crowd"

" Excuse me? "

Jun gave Ariel deep look. "Give me a chance to do something in this company, brother. I will not dissapoint you"

Since you guys so boring with your life, making a stranger into family, as well I pay some respects for that effort.

" We go to seventh floor after this break. And see how you say later "

Seventh floor was the huge area exclusively built for many kinds of activities. The dance hall, the theather, the catwalk, and studio. This area supervised under trainee department. Herman Yoong was in charge.

The boss and his brother presence were unusual, so everyone was wondering what changed might be happened. Jovac management was a family corporation,with Jovac senior as the founder. He had a dream, created the best artist in the industry.

This country was typical anyone could enter the entertainment industry just because of their look, their parents's connection, the bribing, or when your video went viral in social media. For Jovac, those were big nonsenses.

He was a fan of korean entertainment cultures, therefore he built Jovac management and brought Korean strict training cultures in to the company.

Only those who had same thought would understand akind.

" What you gonna do about them ? " asked Jun, seated beside Ariel. They were in dancing hall and everybody already assembled a few minutes before their arrival.

" Ahhh, I let you decide, " Ariel smiled. " You are their director after all ."

" Since when ? "Jun annoyed. Seemed god gave her too many surprised recently.

" Since now, junior " Ariel laughed. Suddenly he wanted to tease someone on purpose. Would be amusing to see her blushed, no?

No.

She didn't blush at all. He shook his head, dissapointed. A devil.

Herman noticed the brothers immediately. A small mistake would bring you despairs. So he would not make any visible mistake. Kiss the boots, lick the boots.

" This is the first time we meet , young master Jun " he bowed to the silver hair golden eyed person.

"He will be taking care of you from today. Call him director Jun. " said Ariel coldly.

" Oh, pardon my rudeness, director Jun "

Jun stood up. "Please take care of me everyone "

Claire and John stood behind the masters. Herman seated on the left, Ariel in the middle and Jun on the right. The trainees were anticipating.

" So the debutant not here right? "Ariel checked Herman. The middle age man said no. " Then call the boyband to come over. "

" We got ten groups of boyband sir ,"

" Call them one by one to perform."

Then begun the performance. Each groups had seven members, and they did well in dancing rapping and singing the korean famous songs.

" So the rest were girlbands or what ? "

" No, Director Jun. We have only two girlbands. The others were single performer "

" Give the girlband chance to perform for me , would you ?" Jun smiled. Everyone was in hypotized when she finished her sentences.

First girlband performed famous britain song, and the second performed indonesian pop song. Jun watched quietly until the last performance. The girlbands existed five members each, so those who did not perform yet were twenty people.

Twenty girls.

Ariel whispered to Jun's ear " Wanna test them ? "

" Yes. "

" We can do it tomorrow if you are tired, junior. You not completely recover "

" I'm fine, brother. Since I'm the director " Jun smirked. Ariel started regreting his decision prior.

Out of everyone's expectation, the girls performed very well in short time. No necessary problem accured. Jun watched and listened passionately, patiently, and each time took some notes. Even Herman never been felt so proud of his kids at that times.

Jun's attitude was calming the whole universe.

"Out of nine bands, I want three to debut." Jun decided. "Regardless the gender. The exam will be tomorrow night. "

The murmurs and discussion were started to noised up. Ariel peeled an orange and served to Jun. Claire served tea for three.

"Out of twenty, Three will have their debut. The exam also tomorrow , by ten am. Good luck everyone, we call it a day "

" Thank you director ! " the kids cheered and applaused. Some of them giggling and appraising the new boss.

Herman called his subordinates in emergency meeting. His department was in chaos, thanks to a certain someone.

The masters still stayed a few minutes in dancing hall with their tea and snacks.

Meanwhile in ladies room, Claire was cornered by her collegues and trainees. "Our new director. Tell us more about him, Claire "

" Yeah, don't be so petty "

" He looks so young. What is his relation to our PD?"

" I don't know much, girls. He is a Jovac , that's all." Claire managed to escape after a phone call from John, and she owe him a big obligation for that. Girls indeed scary when they became fangirl.

Arthur and Ran waited in their dining seat when the two were entering the dining room. The mansion was like cathedral, huge, and still too huge for four persons.

" Hi brother " Jun greeted both.

" Company was fun? " asked Ran.

Ariel rolled his sleeves "Yeah, our handsome sister stole the show "

" You appointed her as a director, I heard " Arthur mumbled.

" She fit to that position. Saved me from lots of headache."

"Then she will be with you all the time "

"Is someone being jealous or what?" Ariel yelled laughing.

"Your manner, kid." Ran pointed sternly. The butler

served greek grilled turkey and hot chicken soup.

Jun thanked him and he bowed politely.

Her first dinner in this mansion was an awkward one. She read lots of manga with royal dining , with maids and butler stood up during master's dinner, but to experience them in real life was something else. After a few week passed by, she got used to it.

There was no female in this mansion. From the cooks, the servants, the butler, drivers, gardeners,all men. And Jun just strangely loved that.

" Edward said you had a call from your student. " Ran said, waiting Jun's respond. The girl didn't moved a bit. " Don't you wanna contact her ? She sounded worry "

" Another time, brother. Another time "

To left everything behind without looking back, need a firm courage. This time, she determined to do it. I'm A Jovac.
