Transmigration: The Narcissistic Cinderella

Sitting at the inside of a luxurious restaurant, Moon Jiwoo held on to a fork and placed a piece of steak inside her mouth.  In front of her was Oh Sookyung, who stared at the room they were currently in before looking at his meal and then Moon Jiwoo. "Aren't you being too extravagant?" Sookyung questioned, raising one of his eyebrows. "What's it to you? It's not like I am spending your money," Jiwoo said, "This is my payment for protecting you, and be glad that I am treating. Moreover, the food at here is the best!" "You talk as if you have had food from here," Sookyung mumbled. "Geez! That's what you have the online reviews for," Moon Jiwoo vocalised, "Now, stop being so lame and embarrassing." "When was I being embarrassing? Among both of us, it is mostly you who doesn't know to conduct herself properly in the public," Sookyung commented. "Are you trying to pick a fight with me at here, You damned thief? I don't mind beating you up at here," she threatened. "You are seriously boring. Is beating me up the only thing you can talk about? As expected, there is nothing fun to chat about with you," he vocalized, "Does this show how much of a stupid are you?" "Heol! Why do I have to take whether or not you are bored into concern? For your information, I fine with having such chats with you. Other than this, you don't deserve other things from me," she retorted. "You never had any friends, right? With that attitude, I am sure you were the bully of your class," he spoke out. "Yah! That's offensive! I was not the bully although I ordered around couple of students. But that doesn't count as bullying. I did not exactly beat up people around me or torture them," she vocalised. Oh Sookyung let out a chuckle and voiced out, "Do you know you cute you seem right now? But as expected, you were the class bully." Her eyes widened at those words, and slamming her fork on top of the table, she fiercely glared at the boy sitting in front of her. "I told you! I was not the bully. I merely ordered around some students, and it's not my fault that they followed me like a coward. It's their fault for not going against me. It's not like I had a huge team of friends, so that they needed to scared of me," Jiwoo vocalised— her voice lowering at the end. Although it had been lots of years since that had happened, her past was more or less sad for her to think about. Maybe it was because of her attitude or her standing, but she was unable to get along with anyone. Moreover, the only person that cared for her turned out to be sc.u.m! She then added, "Moreover, can you stop calling me cute? Frankly, I find it disturbing!" Seeing the deadpan expression on Moon Jiwoo's face elicited laughter from Sookyung, and he said, "You really don't seem like all that of a bad person. You entirely feel like a little kid to me who had been spoiled, but as long as you have a good heart, that's alright." "Are you making fun of me right now? Good heart and me? That's a huge joke! What do you mean by that? Aren't you a little kid who hasn't been taught that stealing is bad?" she pointed out. "See that attitude of yours is truly hateful. You need to change that side of yours if you want to make friends," he vocalised. "I don't need things like friends. What will I be able to do with friends any way? Most of those people are not sincere, and dealing with those who fake is irritating," Jiwoo stated. "Why? Is it because that you are too naive and foolish that you get fooled by them each time around? Is that why you have become like this," he voiced out. "What are you trying to do today? Try to know me more? Let's not do this alright. It makes me uncomfortable," Jiwoo bluntly said. "Wow! That sounded extremely cold. I did not know you had it in you, but since it makes you uncomfortable, let's drop this. What else do you want to talk about? Silently eating a meal is too boring," he vocalised. "Speaking about that, there was one thing I was always curious about but never got the opportunity to ask you on. What caused you become a thief? You don't appear to be someone who would starve without stealing, so why?" Jiwoo raised one of her eyebrows. "Heol! I was not expecting a smart question as this from you. You really manage to surprise me! I thought you would ask me something stupid or insulting," Sookyung confessed. Raising the fork in her hand, she directed it at him, and while glaring at her, she said, "Do you need me to stab you with this?" A small chuckle escaped from his mouth, and he stated, "Alright. I will not be teasing you further, and ruin this rare civil chat we are having in between of us. About why I decided to pursue this path is because of the thrill. That's all. You are right. I don't need the money or I can get a better job. But seeing how my friends went to this kind of job, I wanted to give this a try as well. Although it was wrong, there was a type of fun to it as well." "Ah! So, although you had friends, there were all rotten," Jiwoo commented, "How can you steal money from a twenty year old and destroy someone's dreams that easily? I would have followed you regardless of knowing whether or not you were a con man. But what if it was someone else other than me? Aren't you directly destroying that person's dream? Moreover, the money you are stealing might have been quite important to that person. Honestly, I loathe you for that side of yours. You are too cruel." Oh Sookyung let out a laugh and said, "Despite how you act, it seems that you are a nice person. Honestly, I have probably thought of those couple of times myself, but at the end, I did not find myself caring for it. As long as it was fun, I was alright with it. You could just say that how I am the worst kind of people out there." Jiwoo expressed, "You admitted that quite fast. I thought you will be reluctant or try to sugarcoat the words." "How can I do that when you have taken the chance to talk smarty and cordially with me? It was a rare opportunity, and I did not want to ruin it," he pointed out, "Plus you have managed to change me." "What type of nonsense is that?" she vocalised, scoffing at him. "I am not kidding. I have found out that spending time with you more thrilling than being a con artist," he stated, "Aren't you happy at that?" "Was that supposed to be a compliment? If that's the case then, I have found it quite—" Before Moon Jiwoo was able to continue further, a loud noise entered into her ear, catching her by surprise, and immediately she turned to face her left. The glass window had broken down into shards, and the shards flew into their direction. Moon Jiwoo's eyes widened at that, and she reacted fast. Stepping up on her table, she jumped at Oh Sookyung and shielded his body with hers. As she held him down, she felt the shards pierce into her body, and the pain caused her to close her eyes tightly. Before she was able to get more attacked by the shards, Jiwoo found her wrist being gripped by someone, and instantly, she was pulled into Sookyung's l.a.p. Instead of her, few of the shards fell on him, and after they stopped from falling, he vocalised, "You don't have to protect me to this extent. I am not that much of a weakling." The wounds which had formed on both of their body was slowly healing away, and marks of it remained on both of their back. Seeing Oh Sookyung protecting her at the end rendered her to be shocked, and for a second there, her heart beat rate increased before she pulled herself back into the reality. Rather than this, she had something serious to deal with now. "Glad to know that," Jiwoo vocalised as she jumped up from his l.a.p. As her back touched the door, she stared at the broken window, and beside her was Oh Sookyung. Loud noises were created due to the breaking of the glass, and Jiwoo was afraid that would be alerting the owner.  The room before them was an utter mess, and if she was caught, there was no way she would be able to explain this situation. She had to get away from here before someone showed up.
