Birth of a Beauty

Chapter 3: Why are you ugly?!

Li Seulbi remained in the toilet for a long time , before heading towards the sink. She looked at herself

in the mirror. Her eyes were red and swollen because of crying relentlessly.

Her face was a little pale and lips were dry. She had a messy hair. Looking at herself in mirror, she

sensed a massive feeling of sadness engulfing her heart again.

She touched the mirror as if she was touching herself and questioned herself" Why are you so ugly?! "

She washed her face many times and again looked herself in mirror. She found no difference in her

face from before.

She shouted " Why?!..Why?! Why people hate me because of my appearance?!Will...Will they love me

if i look pretty?!..Will.. they be my friends and not bully me?!...But is it even.. possible?"She felt hurt and

dissappointed too.

She didn't know what time it was but when she came out from restroom , the sun was already setting

down. She noticed that the school was already over and beside her, there were only few staff left in the

school.

She grabbed her bag and left school. Her home was quite far from school. It took 15 minutes to reach This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

her home by subway. She came home and begin to search for someone.

Li Seulbi's mother, Zhao Seong, died in an accident when Seulbi was only 3. Her father, Li Cheng,

remarried after few weeks of Zhao Seong's death. Seulbi's step mother, Tang Fian, had twins children

but they were a boy and a girl.

Her son was named as Li Ruan and daughter was named as Li Ri. Li cheng used to work in some

trading business. So, he used to be out of home often times.This way, he didn't get any chance to

interact more with his family.

Tang Fian was clever yet selfish. She used to make Li Seulbi to do home chores as she and her

children would enjoy relaxing. Whenever Li cheng visits home at night, she acts exhausted as she was

tired of doing house chores.

And used to complain about Seulbi being lazy all the time. This caused Li cheng to feel a little

disappoint towards Seulbi.

Li Ruan was the only son in the family , so, Li Cheng used to treat him quite well.As for Li Ri, she was

quite beautiful and talented in sports. She got many achievements which made Cheng feel proud. Li

Seulbi was good at studies.

But due to her appearance, No one looked her good side rather they talked about about her uglyness.

This made Tang Fian and her children feel embarrased even walking with her in the public.They hated

Seulbi and always treated her very bad.

Li Seulbi was aware of everything. She knew that her step mom and her step brothersister didn't like

her. She knew that her step mom used to talk lies about her to her father.

She knew that her neighbors used to sidetalk about her uglyness. But, she didn't even care. She used

to pretend that she didn't know about all these happenings.

Because,first she didn't want any disputes in the family because of her and secondly there was

someone who used to give her confidence to fight with those challanges. And she was Seulbi's

grandmother, Su Yumi.

Su Yumi loved her granddaughter, Li Seulbi , more than others. After Seong's death, She knew Seulbi

will be lonely ,so, she stayed by her side since Seulbi was child.

She played with her , told her stories , taught her good manners, and did all the things that a mother

does for her child. She made her feel that she wasnot alone in this world.

So, Seulbi always felt that Su Yumi wasn't her grandmother but her own mother. Yumi was a frank

person so she allowed Seulbi to call her by name.

Li Seulbi used to tell whatever bad things happened to her to Yumi....So, Yumi was the one who she

was looking for after she came from school that day, to tell her about the happenings that

day...
