Kim Jung Ah sits gracefully while sipping on her tea on some cafe in Gangnam. She reads through her iPad regarding the current news on her company. Well, technically not hers anymore because her daughter has taken over her position. She smiles while watching praises were seen left and right about her daughters' achievement in her debut this year as a designer and creative director. "That's my Jennie." She said while smiling 

Suddenly, she felt a presence of a man taking a seat in front of her. Not looking up immediately, she notice a familiar presence of the man, and sigh. "What are you doing here?" 

"I need your help." 

Jung Ah smiles. "And here I never thought you would come to me for help. You despise me with all your heart, Kim Tae Hyung-sshi." She said while finally meeting eyes with Tae Hyung who's sitting in front of her 

"I got no other option, Ms. Kim" Tae Hyung said 

She smirks. "You always hated me because I was always, and may I quote, 'forcing her too much on perfecting her to become the CEO I wanted her to be instead of caring about her as a daughter'" 

Tae Hyung sighs. "Ms. Kim, with all due respect, I still despise you. But I guess you can compromise with me after hearing the next words I'm about to say.." 

Kim Jung Ah raises her eyebrows in curiosity. "Kai is back." 

She chuckles. "I know that already. You think I don't keep my daughter in check even after all these years?" 

"Then you must've know she's dating him again." 

Jung Ah brought her attention immediately to the words Tae Hyung said. Now this is something she didn't know. "What did you say?" 

"I said Jennie is dating Kai again. I saw them together with my own eyes, and Kai confirmed it." Tae Hyung said 

Jung Ah immediately brought her fist to lightly hit her arm chair. She thought her appearance during that charity event would brought fear to her daughter as a reminder to not let her fall for him the second time, but she's wrong. "And why are you telling me this?" 

"Because you don't want your daughter to date Kai, and me on the other hand, is in love with your daughter." Tae Hyung said 

Jung Ah laughs after what she just heard and sips her tea. "So you're saying I should help you date my daughter instead?" then continues her laugh

Tae Hyung knows it's stupid for him to even tell this to the last woman he would go to for help, but he can't help it. His love for Jennie is way too much for him to handle, and now he's desperate because Jennie won't even give him a chance to explain. He knew he had ruined their friendship for good, and Jennie would definitely kill him if she knows this. "좋아, 도와줄께 (Okay, I'll help you)." Jung Ah said 

Tae Hyung looks up with a little spark brightening up in his eyes. "How do you feel about a competing in a little competition?" 


Jennie woke up to a loud sound coming from downstairs. She groans at how loud it is and wonder why would this person interrupt her beautiful sleep. She looks to her other side and found Kai nowhere to be found, then makes her way downstairs slowly. "Cosa intendi per lavoro combinato? (What do you mean combined work?)" Kai said with pure frustration

Jennie scrunch her eyebrows as she wondered what kind of language he just spoke. She never heard him speaking other language except Korean and English, and she can't help but to find it attractive when he said it. Jennie sense something's up with the older man in front of her because he kept on pacing himself back and forth. "Marco per favore. Questa è la mia occasione per mostrare al caso quello che ho ottenuto. (Marco please. This is my chance to show case what I got)." Kai replied back to his phone
