Two nights before the much-anticipated 'Lee-Bae' wedding, Suzy invited Jennie out for dinner. She did not originally plan to bring along any family members and simply wanted to share some alone time over dinner with her close girlfriend. But, because Minho was extremely doubtful of Suzy's ability to avoid reporters, he ended up following her along.

On the rooftop of the 5-star hotel, there was a dazzling view of the starry night sky and impressive cityscape.

Jennie and Lisa arrived first, but Lisa went to the bathroom. While he wasn't around, Suzy arrived, dressed in a black coat, glowing with the smile of a woman in love. Perhaps it was because her wedding was on the horizon, she wasn't wearing any blush, but her cheeks were still rosy, and it remained that way for the rest of the night. Meanwhile, Minho followed closely behind with a cautious wife-protecting aura. Those that witnessed it, couldn't help but think he was overacting a little.

"Where's President Manoban? Did you come alone?"

Jennie glared at Suzy and replied, "He's at the bathroom. Did you think I'd give you another chance to bully me?"

Suzy let out a gentle laugh as she sat down on the chair that Minho pulled out. Jennie observed the couple sitting side-by-side, emanating with a sense of anticipation for their upcoming wedding - they completely encompassed the meaning of happiness.

"Miss Bride-to-be, are you happy?"

Suzy blushed and looked down at her and Minho's intertwined hands. A diamond wedding ring sat perched on her finger, like a symbol of the couple's dazzling relationship. Her eyes slowly turned red as she answered with a choked up voice, "Happy!"

"As long as you are happy," Jennie said as she patted the back of Suzy's other hand; her eyes were equally red. Both women's lives revolved around the entertainment industry, so only they could understand how hard it was to find true love in such a dirty environment.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Suzy felt the iciness of Jennie's hand and flipped her hand to warm it. However, Lisa appeared at this time, grabbed Jennie's hand and enveloped it between his warm palms.

Suzy was stunned for a few seconds feeling like her offer was a little one-sided.

But, as usual, Lisa did not show much emotion as he sat down, holding firmly to Jennie's hand. Of course, Minho was well accustomed to this. But, Suzy felt a little anxious.

It was like she was sitting on the same dinner table as an ancient emperor. How could she not feel anxious?

Afterwards, Lisa instructed a waiter to fetch a blanket for Jennie. Only after he covered her up did he feel a bit more relaxed.

Suzy couldn't help but sigh as she watched the couple, "He sure is exceptionally thoughtful."

"Yes, I must have saved up 10 lifetimes of good karma," Jennie did not hold back on her appraisal of Lisa as she intertwined her fingers with Lisa's just like Minho and Suzy.

Seeing this, Suzy leaned over and whispered into Jennie's ear, "How about we go to another table without the men? I want to release a lantern!"

Jennie looked at the man beside her and nodded her head, "Tonight, you're the boss."

Afterwards, the two men were each abandoned by their own respective partner as they sat quietly in their seats watching their women.

Although she was a model, girly activities like releasing lanterns, wasn't something Suzy could do on her own; she wasn't as capable as Jennie. So, she had no choice but to ask her man for help, "Minho."

Minho helplessly approached the two women. Seeing this, Lisa, of course, could not remain seated. As he approached Jennie, he saw her calm expression, "What wish did you make?"

Jennie turned around and wrapped her arms around Lisa's waist as she laughed, "May the nation be prosperous, may there be world peace and may Jennie and Lisa be together forever."

The two lovers stood under the night sky and released their wish into the atmosphere. Lisa then turned around and violently pulled Jennie into his embrace as he displayed a passionate kiss for all to see...

Perhaps, years from now, Jennie would be able to think back on this moment and still taste the sweetness of this double date and Suzy's shy pre-wedding disposition...

Because after this, her fate would once again experience a shocking change.

...

The next day, the 'Lee-Bae' couple made their way to Bali to prepare for their wedding. Meanwhile, Jennie and Lisa's flight was scheduled for 6pm.

The wedding wasn't on a grand scale, but because of Minho's understanding towards the media, they also made their way to Bali. However, Minho had one request: for them to respect the schedule and not to delay his big day in any way.

The media agreed to this request with a friendly laugh. To see a PR person like Minho, who interacted with the media throughout the year, treat them with understanding, they were really flattered. At the same time, Minho's thoughts represented Lisa.

Meanwhile, staff responsible for photography, styling, and makeup also rushed towards Bali. It was at this time that Lin Chong finally realized his job was to photograph Bae Suzy; he was to photograph the entire wedding! Worst of all, at the time that he found out, he was already on the island and had no way of turning back.

"Lin Chong, I know you have a history with Suzy, but...Suzy is a nice person. She even agreed to have you photograph her wedding. Look at how great your situation is right now. You no longer have to hide, yet you get to capture better photos than before. Isn't this ideal?" his boss asked.

Lin Chong remained silent for a few moments before asking, "Will Lisa and Jennie be attending?"

"Of course. They're also aware of your situation."

Lin Chong seemed to have suddenly realized what was going on. He turned around with a serious look on his face. Although over a dozen days had passed, the wounds on his face were still apparent, making his expression look extra fierce.

"Were Manoban Entertainment the ones that helped me? Was it Lisa?"

His boss patted him on the back and nodded, "To be exact, it was Jennie and Suzy. During the time when you were abandoned by the world, they were the ones that didn't hold onto old grudges and gave you clothes, a job and most importantly helped you hold onto your pride."

"You should think carefully about whether you want to continue to misunderstand them. I can't deny that there are plenty of artists in the industry that just want fame and fortune, but Jennie and Suzy are definitely not amongst them."

Lin Chong simply felt his boss' words were like one slap after another across his face, making him feel extremely ashamed...

"Of course, if you want to leave, I will not hold you back."

Jennie...

Lin Chong couldn't help but repeat this name in his mind. This was the woman he had sworn to capture a photo of and the woman he had tried so hard to defame. Yet, today she had protected his pride and given him a safe way out.

This must be Jennie's most important trait.

If Lisa wasn't hers, then who could he possibly belong to.

How could he continue to hate a woman like this? In his heart, Lin Chong felt he had finally been convinced by Jennie.

So, he held up his camera and replied firmly, "I'll do it."

"You've made the right decision. Once you get to know her, you will realize Jennie is a person with loyalty and righteousness."

But, Lin Chong wondered if Jennie and Lisa knew about J-King's plan to take over Manoban Entertainment.
