Jennie didn't expect for this to happen. But, as long as her brother wasn't being bullied, nothing else mattered to her.

For some reason, Jennie felt like she could trust Sana. She felt like she would be the key to protecting Taehyung, like a protective fortress.

...

Perhaps it was because they had gone to school together, even after leaving Hyatt Regency, Sana and Taehyung found themselves still deep in conversation. In fact, they exchanged contact details and Taehyung even offered to escort Sana home.

"It's fine, my home isn't that far. Plus, I drove myself over here anyway."

"You are helping me with a huge favor tomorrow. It's only right for me to take you home today."

Sana wasn't an overly cautious person. So, she couldn't see any reason to reject Taehyung's sincerity as she boarded his sports car. However, for a short moment, Taehyung was suddenly reminded of the woman that used​ to sit beside him: Song Yanshu.

"What's wrong?" Sana asked sensitively.

"Nothing," Taehyung immediately snapped out of his daze.

"You're not thinking about 'that' woman, are you?" Sana saw through Taehyung immediately, but felt she may have been a little impolite, so she placed her hands under her chin and pulled an ugly face, "Is she as pretty as me?"

Taehyung let out a laugh, "You are still the same as before."

"To be honest, I prefer wearing jeans and gym clothes, but in recent years, I've had no choice but to act feminine." After speaking, Sana tore a split down the middle of her dress and tied the corners together to create a pair of makeshift pants, "This feels a lot better."

A smile remained on Taehyung's face, especially after he saw Sana's relaxed attitude. Meeting a person in life that one felt comfortable around, was a difficult task.

"The car's starting. Sit tight."

It didn't take long before the two arrived outside the Minatozaki Household. After thanking Taehyung, Sana opened the car door and stepped out. They had agreed on a meeting time the next day, so they had no reason to linger. However, just as Taehyung started driving away, he noticed that Sana had left her handbag in the car.

...

It had been a long time since Sana had acted in such a carefree manner. But, she never expected, as she arrived home, she would run into Father Xu and Ye Lan. As soon as Father Xu spotted her torn dress, his expression immediately darkened, "Who allowed you to dress like a rebel? Sana, don't you know that you're an heiress? How could you walk around like a club escort? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"

Sana's face turned pale before she looked behind Father Xu at Ye Lan. Needless to say, her every move must have been revealed by this sly woman.

"Do you still hold any regard for the family rules?" Father Xu grabbed onto Sana's arms and shook her violently.

"It hurts..." Sana cried as her gaze sharpened. "Apart from treating me with violence, what else can you do?"

"How dare you talk back at me..."

...

This was not a scene that Taehyung had expected to witness after entering the Minatozaki Household. He couldn't believe that Father Xu completely disregarded his daughter's feelings and treated her with violence. In fact, he deliberately hit her in places that weren't normally exposed. No wonder when they were in the car, Sana repeatedly massaged her hip.

Taehyung originally wanted to rush in and put an end to the scene that was playing out. But, seeing Sana's unafraid expression, he froze in the doorway.
