"So...how?" Lisa asked, then look at her best friend.
Chaeyoung's face changed. Should she tell Lisa that she slept with the wrong person? Not Jaehyun! and it's worse when every night she keeps on dreaming about that man.
"The plan failed, he's not there..." She lied, her eyes focus on arranging the cakes and other new pastries into the shelf.
Lisa's face fell and feel pity for her friend. "So you're really gonna marry that old man? your adoptive parents are so bad..."
Chaeyoung pouts...seems like she really gonna be a second wife. "I don't know...I'm trying to delay the meeting with them."
Lisa sighs, she wanted to help but she doesn't know how.

"You're not focused...." Kim Namjoon sighs as he looks at Jeon Jungkook in front of him. They are in the midst of discussing a billion projects, yet Jungkook not even paying a little attention. The younger keep looking at his hand which is his fingers busy playing with a black hair tie.
"Hmm?" Jungkook raises his eyebrows, "Oh, I have read the file yesterday...so I know the details inside."
Namjoon raises his eyebrows...then his eyes training at the hair tie in Jungkook's fingers. "I heard last week you left the club with someone. Was she a good f*ck?" Namjoon cut the chase, closing the file and focus his eyes on Jungkook.
Jungkook's frown after hearing Namjoon's words. He wanted to correct the word..he made love, not f*ck.
"Stop talking nonsense.." Jungkook replies.
"Whatever, so...do you know her name? get her number or anything?" Namjoon asked again.
Jungkook bites his lower lip. That's the problem until now he got no information about the woman.
Looking at Jungkook's face already make Namjoon know the answer. "So you didn't know anything about her. This is new...you used to not care about the woman you slept with, not even their name and you didn't even remember their faces...this woman must be something."

"I'm still looking for her, I can feel that she's was from this city..." Jungkook says as his eyes still linger to the hair tie.

Chayoung's mind was busy thinking about the call she received from her adoptive father. Her adoptive parents still want her to meet with one of their business partners, they wanted her to get married to the man...an old man.
'The least you could do to pay our kindness is to be his wife. Nothing more than that.' ― That's what her adoptive father said in his phone call.
Chaeyoung chuckles dryly. The irony...years ago Jung family adopted her because when the Jung family started their business the fortune teller instructed them to find a child born with these eight characteristics as the child would be able to bring them wealth and prosperity...that's how they find her. And now to save their business, they used her to make sure the business partner closes the deal with them.
She had planned to seduce and sleep with a guy name Jaehyun and she might use him to make her adoptive parents stop bothering her. But her plan failed. She ended up sleep with a man that she doesn't even know his existence. At least Jaehyun was famous for being a nice and kind man.
Thinking about that make Chaeyoung's mood worsened. She doesn't even look up and greet the customer who enters the patisserie shop. But in a few seconds, she could see a customer was standing in front of the glass pastry display shelf...right in front her.
"Do you still have the Tokyo banana roll cake?" - asked a male customer.
Chaeyoung's heart stops beating for a few seconds upon hearing the voice. Her instincts told her to run, but her head moving first to look up at the customer. She blinks a little time to make sure this is not an illusion.

"I'm looking for Tokyo banana roll cake...do still have stock for that?" The customer asked again.
"Ah, ye-yes we have..." Chaeyoung stuttering, realizing this is not an illusion. The man that she slept with before was indeed standing in front of her...asking for Tokyo banana roll cake!!! She doesn't know if he doesn't remember her or this is a different man because the man in front of her right now acted like they never meet each other before. She quickly packing everything that the man wanted and she acted like she doesn't know him and treating him like other customers....she sighs in relief after the man left the store. Finally her heart could beat at a normal pace.
Or maybe she's wrong. Chaeyoung was the staff that Jennie put in the schedule to close the patisserie, and when she locked the door, a very familiar voice asking her from behind...
"Going home?" The man asked.
Chaeyoung turns her head...he still in his suit and his back leaning against the big black Aston Martin SUV. His hands both in his pocket. She turns back, and after making sure the door securely locked, she puts the key inside her bag and walks away...acting like she doesn't know the guy.
But she heard footsteps following her from behind. Her heart race rapidly. What this man wanted from her? What's his name again? All she remembers was he's Jaehyun's friend. Chaeyoung walks faster...the footsteps behind her quickened too, she slowing down...the footsteps behind her followed in a relaxed manner.
She stops and turns around to look at the guy, he's just a few steps away behind her. And it's annoying that she had the thought of how his face suits her taste.
"Stop following me," Chaeyoung said in a serious voice. Her eyes look around, the street not busy with people, and most of the shop around already closed. Now she scared if this man might doing inappropriate things to her.
The man chuckles, "I'm here to return your things...."
"W-what things?" Chaeyoung asked. Her heart nearly jumps out of her chest when the guy walks closer to her. "Stop right there...don't come close..."
But the guy still continues taking a few steps forward...Chaeyoung could see his hand slip into his coat, she doesn't know why but she thought he might take something dangerous like a gun...or maybe a knife to threaten her...or maybe poison to make her fell unconscious.
So when the guy's hand moving to take out the thing inside his coat...Chaeyoung attack his groin using her knee...then she runs as if she running away from a serial killer.
"Ouch...what the fu*k..." Jungkook clutching his groin. He wanted to return back her hair tie or maybe if she still wants her underwear, he still has those in his car. But damn...this woman just knees his groin and run.
It's annoying when he realizes this is the second time she runs away from him.
