The time when by quickly and the girls had grown into fine young women. Ella grew put to be a kind and patient young lady. Throughout the years Ella learned how to keep her emotions in check, always looking on the positive side. Even when that evil stepmother would use her as a simple maid, all Ella did was smile and imagine the moment in where she will leave that awful place and get a house for herself. As for Anastasia and Drizella, the two girls grew out to be respectful and loyal young ladies, always carrying and trying to protect their families. Anastasia grew up to be a strong and wise young lady, she was the one taking care of the house payment and paperwork. Drizella became a creative and hardworking young lady, she decided to follow her family's motto, she took care of everyone's attires and was the one to accommodate the expensive of the house, a true busyness woman. As for Hoseok, he continue working, trying to earn as much as he could just so his girls did not have to worry about money, food, or clothing.

Hoseok would always push the girls to buy jewelry, perfume, makeup, and dresses, just like the other young lady would. But they would always refuse, they notice how hard Hoseok would work to earn that money. Always giving it to them to enjoy, not asking or buying anything for himself. Wich was the reason why they decided to push their mother to the market, they wanted to get something for themselves, not worry about them. As they travel to the market Hoseok couldn't help but sigh, all these years he has been working the girls wouldn't accept his money. And every time they did Drizella would take it from them and invest it. These girls were killing him. All he wanted was for his little girls to enjoy their childhood but instead, they wanted to earn money by themselves and take care of the house.

As they arrive at the market the first thing that Hoseok bought was bread and fruit, at first, the girls were angry and would look at him with a grumpy face. But he would later ease them up by saying how he only bought those fruits and bread because he desired them. Being left off the hook Hoseok slowly sigh and made his way to the silk store, he did not want anything else, he believed he had everything he needed at home, but he wanted to make the girls happy. So he sucked it up and acted as if he was interested in everything the store held.

As for the girls, both sisters searched around for cheap and necessary items, either being cloth, food, or other materials. All they wanted was to make their home cozy and warm. As for the cloth, well they just wanted to make something nice for both their mother and Ella. Ella has been their sister for years but they have never really gifted anything to her, all they have done is protect and advise her. As for the reason why the sister never gifted anything to Ella was that well, they couldn't, every time they try to gift her something they would get nervous and confused, they have been sisters for years but they don't know what Ella prefers and adores. They wanted her gift to be special, but they were at loss, that is until they saw it. When they wanted to surprise Ella with some homemade bread they discover a beautiful torn pink ground. The beautiful dress seemed to belong to Ella's mother, they knew how special she was to Ella, finally, they had found that special gift. Being the main reason why they enter the silk and clothing store.

Having bought all they needed the sisters decided to go out and explore the small food stalls, that is until they saw Ella. She was being led by some weird guy to a small and run-down market. As the man led her in he try to push different types of clothes and accessories to her, saying that they were one of a kind, made out of the finest silk there was. The "friendly' old man would even give her discounts. With sparkly eyes, Ella looked at the lovely dress in front of her, after thinking about it for a few seconds she just agree and was about to buy everything she wanted, that is until her despicable stepsisters came in and prevented her from buying the items she wanted. Feeling a little infuriated Ella just left without looking back. As for the two sisters, they just stayed at the store and educated the scamming old man. They exposed the items in his store, warning everyone how they were fake and overpriced, once they were done they left giving a warning to the salesman. However, once they turned back Ella was nowhere to be seen, feeling a little restless they went out in search of her, after a few minutes of searching they gave up, they would meet later anyways.

Ella left the store infuriated, the sisters have done it again. All these years they had made her life a living hell, not only did they make her do chores until her entire body ached but they would make fun of her. They even started calling her cinderella, every night she would cry through the humiliation she would live through every night. Wanting to take her mind of such horrible memories Ella try to distract herself with the small stans, that is until she saw a familiar figure. The hair and features were different but those eyes and smile were just like she remembered. Her first friend, her first love.

The figure just passed by Ella not giving her any attention and made its way to a silk store. Seeing the figure getting further and further away from her, Ella rushed towards the figure and grabbed his hand. Coming eye to eye with the figure Ella was assured she was right, that the one she was holding has that little boy back then. Seeing as the man in front of her kept looking at his arm Elal just blushed and let go. As she let go Ella lowered her head a little bit while fidgeting with her fingers. After not being able to say anything for a few seconds Ella finally got the courage to say something and quickly raised her head, seeing the man in front of her Ella just softly smiled and greeted, "umm hello, I apologize for my manners, but I just wanted to ask if we have ever met before?" However, before the man got to open his mouth Ella heard her name being screamed. Being surprised Ella turned towards the direction the scream came from, seeing who the scream came from Ella just open and closed her mouth silently. Feeling ashamed Ella just turned around wanting to apologize to the man but as soon as she turned around she was not able to see a single trace of the man she was talking to.

As for the man, as soon as Ella turned away from him, he slipped away and got back to his original plan. Having looked around for a few seconds the man started to feel a little distressed, he had lost the one he has his eyes on. All because of that woman. As soon as he found that person again his eyes lit up, quickly making his way towards the beautiful "woman" in front of him the man couldn't help but smile. As soon as he was in front of the woman the man just smiled and stood his hand and present a beautiful rose. As soon as the man delivered the rose he had to leave, he was a little depressed that he had to say goodbye so fast. But he was also over the moon that he had the opportunity to talk and touch the beautiful woman. Looking at his hand which made contact with the "woman's" beautiful and delicate hand he slowly raised it and pecked it while whispering, "lovely, we will soon be together, wait for me, my love."
