The ray of the sun gleefully shines in their conservatory, to which Monday is. She's in there reading a novel adorned in white alongside the fragranced flowers and majestic butterflies. She always reads a novel in the morning at their conservatory while drinking honey tea, all of which gives her serene, that serene enhance with the help of the fresh radiant sunlight and eye-refreshing flowers, though she's bored doing this, she's doing this for the longest time that she can remember. "This is quite great, but it is getting tiresome and boring." She thoughted. Monday is doing this since then and she has not added anything new into her routines. She's without a fact bored doing this, her sophisticated yet classy routine is so tiring for her. "I felt so hollow." She added more in her thought.
Only having the limits to their grand mansion, she has learned all of the directions to it, whilst eyes closed. She's in their mansion for the longest time, to be frank, she never leaves their shelter, somewhat she's living a life like Mavis from Hotel Transylvania.
Their mansion, where Monday is in living for years, has some fantastic features that will sure to feed your boredom up, like a conservatory, an observatory with a library in it, and an indoor theatre, where she usually watches educational documentaries, and meaningful movies. All of those are great indeed, but Monday's favourite is the conservatory because it's one of the things that gives her serene. The conservatory gives her serene, by just simply staring at the vibrant flowers and majestic butterflies gracefully flying flower to flower. Although those features are the greatest of the greatest, she's still aching to do something else than staying inside the walls of their mansion, repeating the same doings, she wants to shift into a new routine, a new lifestyle.
She lasted at their conservatory for about an hour and a half, doing her time there she gazes at the exquisitely vibrant flowers that are bounded at their healthy soils alongside reading a novel, she left the book at their conservatory table-set to which it belongs and shifted to her room with a purpose of reading more books at her big white tall bookshelf, wherein the geographic books, more novels, history books, and dictionaries withholds in an organized matter.
She obtained a thick aqua leather-covered geographic book, that has a marked chapter in it, upon having possession over it, she proceeds at her bedroom's window bay, there she lay in a comfortable position to read, and proceeds to read the marked chapter, that she has marked a few days ago.
Three days have passed, same hobbies and same doings, yet this day has something Monday didn't expect, this day is special, not because it is her birthday, but because of her parent's planned-out surprise for her. This day is her 17th birthday, well, Monday is not excited about her birthday, because she will just eat at their dining hall and pretty much bond and catch up to her busied parents, but no, it changed for a surprise. Something different is coming in her way.
The surprise that makes her parents be dropping their hearts out, is her finally letting her attending a school, like a normal teenage girl, that she desired. They wanted their daughter to attend school who is now in her junior year, yes it is late for them to do it, but after finding out from their doctors that Monday's condition is starting to weaken little by little, with that good news, Minyoung her father immediately and whole-heartedly decided to release their daughter to the public. At first, her Soyoung isn't in one heart with her husband's decision, that led them to quarrel, but at the end of the day she supports it because she knows for a fact that Monday is desiring to go outside or the public, therefore as a mother, she'll do her absolute best just to make her offspring to be happy.
With her parents in union with that decision, they formulated a plan to surprise her.
The surprise starts when her parents wake her up early in the morning, the moment Monday wakes up they quickly make her arrange herself and it takes a few moments for her to get ready, when Monday is all dressed up, they blindfolded her for the surprise. Temporarily blinded by the blindfold, her palms start to get cold, then they proceeded outside wherein their bullet-proof van awaits.
Monday couldn't help to feel anxious even if she's in the comfort of her parent's hands, "This is unpredictable." She nervously commented on her thoughts.
She felt cold, "I-I am outside?" She indicated that she's outside because their temperature is different.
The anxiousness that she's feeling intensify and her heartbeat has raise, she felt being seated in their bulletproof van, which grows curiousness and anticipation inside of her.
"Mom? Dad? Where are we going?" She asked, then gulps containing the anxiousness.
"Monday, we're going to a surprise. A fantastic surprise." Her mother's tone is shaky, it has the emotions of anxiousness and excitement for their daughter.
Her mother has started to become teary-eyed because they are finally making their daughter's precious desire into a reality. Monday's father couldn't help but cry along the way to the school.
Her parents wouldn't imagine how would Monday react to their surprise, which Monday has dreamed of since then.
Minyoung looks at Soyoung's face which is painted in pure anxiousness, and so he reaches his hands to her to comfort her.
"I'm worried too, but she dreamed of this for the longest time." He whispered to his wife, then squeezes her wife's hands gently.
Moments flew by, they have successfully arrived at the school, that Monday will be attending in the nearest future.
The school is SOPA
Seoul Of Performing Arts School
They both know that Monday is intrigued in the depths of painting and arts, Monday's forte is Asian Poetic Painting. They saw Monday's potential in this affairs when she was about three years old, they couldn't believe how their daughter is so polished at drawing.
Soyoung takes a deep breath before she got assisted out of the van by her husband. She takes Monday with her, holding her hands real tight.
"This is the right decision." She whispered to herself.
When they are in front of the school, her mother shakily removes the blindfold, And...
When Monday realizes that she's finally outside and is in the public, she gasps, which led her to cover her mouth, her breath starts to shakes, and suddenly her eyes went watery.
Monday can't believe her eyes. She's beyond surprised. She felt like exploding inside. Her smile just reached through her ears. She can't believe this. "I AM HERE!!" She screams in her thoughts, "I'm actually in front of a school and I am outside!" She squeals in excitement, then jumps repeatedly containing the excitement. She felt like she has won a battle, she felt triumphant at the greatest and highest form.
She turns around and charges to her parents with a warm hug. She then can't contain the tears that are filling her eyes and just let them drip down onto her cheeks and face. "She's here in the public, and are happy." Her mother thoughted
"I am In a fantastic dream, that I wish couldn't end." Monday thoughted more.
"You don't know how much you make me so much happiness right now." She voiced crack while bullets of tears continue to flows down to her soft and spotless face.
"We're glad to hear that, Monday." Her mother said in relief with a huge smile. They both let go of their embrace and she wipes her tears from her face with the help of her sleeves.
"I'm so happy to be outside. It's been years." Her eyes linger around, with a wide smile formed on her red lips.
"The surprise doesn't end here, sweetheart." Her father garnered her fullest attention, her heart skipped a beat when he announced that.
"You're no longer homed-schooled, instead you will be attending here as a student, well, not yet." Soyoung instead announced it to her
"You need to take an entrance exam and ace it." She adds up.
She can't tell if her ears are playing with her or not. She can't tell whenever she's in some kind of a trance. She can't believe anything right now, she can't process this properly.
All of those years, of her wanting to go outside and to go to a school are now in all of her reality. She's forever grateful to her parents for letting her do this. One of her wildest dreams came true and she can't believe it.
I've waited my whole life for this, and now it has finally paid off. "I will pass the exam without a doubt.", "The entrance exam will be easy as pie for me." She added more to her thoughts.
"I know that you'll pass the entrance exam, honey, with closed-eyes in fact, so we took it by surprise." By that claim she felt flattered, "M-Mom, stop it."
"What? It is the truth." Her father sympathized.
"Come, let us take you inside to have a little tour, and also to take an entrance exam because we just finished your documents and you just need to do an entrance exam,"
"Also, sweetheart, in able for you to join the art department they have to see your works." That made her stutter, "W-WHAT!?"
"We showed them your artistic paintings, I know it is not right but it is one of the processes for admission here."
"D-Dad you should at least told me and ask for my permission"
"Well, that's our bad side," Minyoung confessed with a shrug and Soyoung nods in agreement.
Monday is intensely shy about her artistic and majestic works, that's why she intentionally doesn't put credits nor give them her name to the buyer when she sells her paintings. She's doing that for her safety and because she is shy. "I know that you become shy when other people see your paintings, but your paintings are praiseworthy and have to be seen by the public."
"Well not in your name."
"Indeed." Soyoung agrees again.
"Then I'll do some sorta a pen name in my paintings?" Monday expressed her thought, "Think of that later, for now, you have to ace this entrance exam." Soyoung reminds them.
"O-Oh yeah." She nodded and sighs deeply.
After that, they enter the building and they started to roam around the school. As they walk around they felt happy when they saw their daughter's reaction to the outside, they can't stop but smile at their daughter's curious expression painted on her face.
After a few roam they go to the room where she'll take her entrance exam, and when her eyes captured the questions she's beyond surprise to how strikingly easy the questions are for her. "I know all of these." She whispers, she answered all of the questions in an instance, and pass them to the teacher.
After that, they return to their mansion and waited for 2 days for the announcement if she passed or not, fortunately with Monday's intelligence she passed the entrance exam without any doubt.
