-Disclaimer- I do not own THE HEIRS or any of its characters! Also I got the basic idea of this story (of a rich guy/family getting poor etc. from a German TV Show called 'Arme Millionäre' – but of course I created my own twist and transformed it into a kdrama ff! So – also this show doesn't belong to me nor it's characters! All rights belong to their respective orders and I'm unfortunately not one of them :/ Anyway, now that this is out of the way I think it's time to give you some general information about this story: 1. Cha Eun-Sang does not have any relationship with Kim Tan! 2 . Her mother will not play a big role in this story. 3. Cha Eun-Sang's mother is rather sick and does not live in Seoul 4. Eun-Sang lives on her own 5. It's Kim Won that brought her to this school – you'll find out later exactly why ^^ 6. I have no real idea/experience how school life etc. is in South Korea, so I created a mix between the American and European system for my purposes in this story – also everything that has to do with money is in dollars! – There's actually a ton of other things I could explain to you now here, but the best is that you find out on your own! ^^ Have fun reading and please leave a review at the end! XD

"Welfare student!", he shouted through the halls, annoyed that she just wouldn't turn around. Actually he was more than just annoyed, he was livid! No one ever dared not to follow his orders, no one ever simply walked away from him and never ever did someone completely ignore him. People knew that they would eventually have to face his wrath, but it seemed as if that new welfare student just didn't care. Well that wouldn't do, looked like she would soon face punishment.

"YAH!", he shouted again and once he noticed that she wasn't halting, but much rather speeding up – he did something unexpected. He actually run up to her and pulled her around, stopping her from walking away at once. "Are you deaf?"

"No, I hear perfectly well, thank you", Cha Eun-Sang answered with annoyance and lifted her chin a bit higher. While she was a bit afraid of him, fine…she was really afraid of him, she wouldn't back down. Yoon Chan-Young had warned her of the antics of the chaebols, especially of that particular specimen called Choi Young-Do, the heir to Zeus Group and one of the biggest fortunes in their country. She knew that he could be vicious, that he was a bully and she knew that she now was his official prey. "Can you let go of my arm now?", she demanded impatiently, causing that bully to raise his eyebrows. She stared mesmerized at them.

"Are you going to listen when I'll call you in the future?"

"No"

"Then you've got your answer", he replied shortly and pulled her towards the staircase and up to the roof, only letting her go once the door was closed and he was sure that they were alone. "Give me your phone number"

"Why should I?", Eun-Sang wanted to know hand put her hands on her hips, by now she was glaring fiercely at him.

"Did I say it like a question? I think not. Give it to me, while I'm still being nice", Choi Young-Do informed her and pulled his phone out of his pocket. Waiting for her to start telling him her number, but she stayed mute. "I'll have you know that I'm not a very patient man, could you hurry up a little…please?", he added after some hesitation.

"You chaebols are really weird. Why don't you just ask normally for my number? You know if you liked me in the first place, a simple conversation would've been enough, why start bullying me and then ask for my number? So weird…", Cha Eun-Sang started telling him, but was quickly cut off by a horrified looking Choi Young-Do.

"Excuse me?! I sure as hell don't like such a…a…poor woman like you! Why would I even like you? I mean look at you! Your shoes are so…old and rotten! You could barely afford our school's uniform and you're in desperate need of a new haircut! Now tell me again…why would I like someone like you? A welfare student! Why?"

"Hold up! My shoes are not rotten! I bought them some months ago!"

"See! Proof that they're old and rotten!"

"Wow. No! They're fairly new and they're still in very good shape. Besides I do not need a new haircut! I like my hair the way it is and I do not see why I do have to justify myself in front of you!", Cha Eun-Sang uttered furiously, glaring at that ridiculously tall guy in front of her. She pushed him back a little, feeling like he was invading her personal space. "Fine, let's admit you do not like me. I still don't see a reason why I should give you my phone number. Until now you've done nothing but make my day a living hell! You nearly pushed me over this morning just to say 'hi', then your girlfriend warned me to stay away from you and a certain Kim Tan in the bathroom and that's just this morning! You've humiliated me at lunch, you tripped me several times and now you nearly kidnap me, lock me up on the roof and you want my phone number? Just what the heck is wrong with you?!"

"Girlfriend? What the hell? I don't have a girlfriend", Young-Do quickly protested and held his hands up. But he didn't exactly know why he was protesting as much. It's not like he needed to explain stuff to her, or reassure her or anything else.

"Well that's quite hard to believe, look at you", Eun-Sang suddenly blurted out and held her hand in front of her mouth once she realized what she had just said. What was wrong with her? Why was she spilling such things? Why was she telling him that?!

"Like what you see?", he cheekily asked and wink at her. Eun-Sang even believed that he straightened up a little to appear taller and he seemed to puff out his chest. What was he trying to do? Look like Tarzan?

"I honestly can't see past your humongous ego, it's blocking the view", Eun-Sang retorted and to her big astonishment he actually started laughing at that. She had to admit that it suited him, he looked handsome while smiling.

"Ok, fine. You win this round, welfare student. But don't think I won't get your number, guess I'll just have to ask your friend or the principal – might as well just ask your telecommunication company"

"Do whatever you want, but leave me alone. I don't have time to waste on such childish people like you", Cha Eun-Sang told him and walked past him, down the stairs and to her next lesson. Everyone of course noticed that the welfare student was smiling when she entered the room, but to their dismay they didn't know why and it bothered them – especially that one tall guy in the corner, Kim Tan. The heir of JK Group, the son of the principal and the heir to one of the biggest fortunes in the country.

He normally didn't pay any attention to the new and poor students, but this time he was inexplicably interested in this student. Perhaps it was partly because his former best friend (now enemy) seemed so interested in her, but perhaps it was simply because she didn't seem impressed at all by all the wealth and power surrounding her.

"If you know what's good for you, Kim Tan, keep your eyes on your fiancé and don't go bothering other girls", his former best friend whispered to him and provocatively sat in front of him – just behind that new girl. Choi Young-Do smiled wickedly at Kim Tan and raised an eyebrow, daring him to do or say anything as THE Yoo Rachel entered the classroom.

Yoo Rachel was something like royalty in their High School. She was undeniably beautiful, rich, powerful and incredibly mysterious. In addition she was also the fiancé of Kim Tan and soon to-be sister of Choi Young-Do. She was the heir of RS International, a famous and incredibly expensive clothing company. She was always dressed impeccably, styled to perfection and seemed like nothing in the world could bother her – except for poor people or welfare students.

As Yoo Rachel passed Cha Eun-Sang she offered her a disgusted look, clearly showing her 'love' for the new student. She felt it was a personal insult to her and everyone else in the class that the welfare student was part of their class.

"Seems like you got a new best friend in her", Choi Young-Do quietly told Cha Eun-Sang, pulling at her ponytail to get her attention.

"Seems like your girlfriend is giving you the cold shoulder and flirting with that tall guy behind you…", Cha Eun-Sang remarked and pushed Choi Young-Do's hand away from her ponytail. "Can you not touch my hair? What are you? Kindergartener?"

"She? My girlfriend?", Young-Do asked, barely able to contain his laughter. He had never ever heard something as ridiculous as this. Yoo Rachel and Choi Young-Do as a couple? Thank god not! "She's Kim Tan's fiancé, the guy sitting behind me. I'm surprised you're not aware of who they are – seems like Yoon Chan-Young didn't prepare you too well, I'm disappointed."

"And I should care, because?"

"Because money rules the world and considering how MUCH money you have – you'd better take the things we say", at that Choi Young-Do made a gesture to show that he actually meant the entire class, "to heart", he finished with a bright smile and once again started playing again with Eun-Sang's ponytail.

"Take your hand off or I'll cut it off – understood?", she hissed and pulled out her books when she saw the teacher walk in.

"Then maybe I could…touch you somewhere else?", he whispered suggestively into her ear, causing her to shudder as goose bumps covered her skin – she quickly moved as far away from him as she could and opened her textbook, ready to take notes.

[…]

As the bell rang, signaling the end of the lesson, Eun-Sang couldn't help but to let out a deep sigh. Class had been a living hell and to make things even worse – she had been reprimanded multiple times by the teacher and had – as a result – gotten detention. As if that wasn't already bad enough – Young-Do too had gotten detention and they were expected to clean the school together. What use was it to be a rich school with dozens of cleaning troops, yet they used students to clean the halls?!

"I'll meet you later – I'm already looking forward!", were Young-Do's parting words as he left the class room. Eun-Sang – while still being rather annoyed by her classmate – couldn't deny that he had something charming about him – not that she would ever tell him that of course, his ego would no doubt explode after that.

"I see you're after the big money", someone with an annoying voice said behind her and upon turning around Eun-Sang discovered the school's queen – Yoo Rachel. "Already on your first day of school you're trying to get a rich boyfriend. Choi Young-Do is not a bad choice as such – but he's rather…special. So you better not try anything with him – I don't want to have to socialize with you or anyone else of your kind more than I already have to", Yoo Rachel told her while judging her outfit from head to toe.

"I don't see why it concerns you in any way with whom I spend my time with", Eun-Sang told the queen quite honestly gathered her things and walked out of the classroom – not caring that Yoo Rachel was glaring daggers into her back and that the weird tall guy (who had been sitting behind her during class) was also watching her closely with interest.

"This doesn't look good at all", Eun-Sang quietly uttered to herself as she entered the gym and saw all her classmates armed with balls. While Eun-Sang had always been a big fan of sports, she couldn't help but to wish that she had tried to skip this lesson. The other students were staring at her with such malice in their eyes that Eun-Sang did feel a little scared.

"New student! Stop daydreaming and join the game!", a teacher shouted from the other side of the hall – tempting Eun-Sang to roll her eyes at the man. It seemed like that teacher already hated her and she didn't even know his name!

[…]

Turned out that this lesson was even worse than her entire day had been. Every few seconds she had been hit by a ball, sometimes from people from her group even but the teacher never said anything! Even when one particularly cruel student had suddenly thrown a basketball at her (even thought these were locked away) – the teacher hadn't said anything at all. In fact the teacher had even shouted at her for getting hit by it.

As soon as the lesson had ended she had run out of the gym to change her clothes, not wanting her classmates seeing her crying. She didn't want to give them another reason for bullying here even more and while she knew that running out of the gym was exactly the best thing to do she didn't regret it.

Her entire body ached as she sat on the roof of the school and looked at the sunset. But she didn't mind it that much – she could always try to ignore her physical pain, what she couldn't ignore was the pain in her heart. The humiliation she felt, the loneliness and the sadness. These things she couldn't simply ignore.

"You know hiding won't save you from going to detention with me."

"For god's sake! Can you just leave me alone for once?!", Eun-Sang shouted at him, her hands automatically fisting. As felt a new wave of tears gather in her eyes and she turned her back on him, not wanting to give him another reason to make fun of her.

Seconds passed and she didn't hear a sound coming from him until she suddenly jumped as she felt a warm hand on her shoulder. She tried to shake it off, not trusting him, but he put his second hand on her other shoulder and pushed her down.

"Don't fight it", he quietly told her and crouched down behind her, leaving his hands on her shoulders. "Look, I'm a jerk. I'm a bad guy, I try not to be mean…but you see how this worked. Now… I can only say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that the others are picking on you. I can't say that I know how this feels, but I can guarantee you that eventually it'll get better…or not. Actually there's a big chance that the others will pick on you in the future – especially Rachel", he told her honestly and gave her shoulders a big squeeze before sitting down next to her.

"I thought you were trying to cheer me up?", Eun-Sang scoffed loudly and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Yeah, well…", Young-Do said with a sigh and rubbed his neck. "Look, actually I can't even promise that I won't pick on you in the future – that's just…how things work around here, but…I'll try my best not to"

"Gee, thanks a lot", Eun-Sang muttered and got up, brushing the dust and dirt from her new school uniform. "We'll be late for detention", she spoke to him and walked away in search of the teacher that had given them detention – the first one in all of her school years.
