Yoonoh sat on the couch sulking. He's so bored and Taeil told him not to make any act by himself. "Quit sulking, we have a lot to do" Taeil sighs. "Do you have any idea how boring it is to stay inside this house? Doing nothing!" He whines. "Then do this, that way you won't get bored" Taeil throw a book on the table. "Reading is boring as hell!"

"Where have you been?" He ask Jiyoon who recently arrives. "Have you met her?" Taeil ask ignoring his remarks. "Yeah, she's quite feisty" Jiyoon ignores him as well. "Hello? Can you two hear me?" He whines. "Do you think you can handle it?" Taeil asks. "Yeah, I'll be fine"

"Are you two ignoring me now?" He asks. "Oh you're there. Anyways, she's going to an auction with Ji Jiwon" Jiyoon only give him a glance. "Auction? Suddenly?" Taeil replied. "It's Ji Jiwon's gift for her. I believe she's coming there as his date. Ji Jiwon is aiming for the Heart of the kingdom Ruby" The woman replied. Since they weren't paying attention to him, he just listen to the conversation.

"It says here it cost 14 million" Taeil states. "This goes your work" Taeil turn to him. "What?" He claims. "I'm pretty sure the usual price of the necklace would go up more, can you fight Ji Jiwon for it?" Taeil asks. "Of course, 14 million my ass" He rolls his eyes. "Note that auction is somewhat illegal or legal. It's neither the two"

"Just because it's illegal means it would stop me. I'm even friends with a jerk" He cringe calling Antonio his friend. "This begins the silent war"

"Shall I go higher?" He asks betting 100 chips. "If you lose again, I'll own about 600,000 and another 100,000. Would that be alright?" Ji Jiwon grin at him. This jerk keep underestimating me. Sigh. Let's keep loosing, like what Taeil said. "That's alright" He shrug. "Shake it"

Fuck it. This jerk kept grinning that it annoys the shit out of me. He shrug off the plan Taeil told him. "You can go first" Ji Jiwon grin. "low" He answers. "It's low" This time it's his turn to smile. He grab all the chips which cause about 500,000. "What? Show me!" Ji Jiwon began to throw tantrum. The worker open the cylinder showing it to the other man.

"One more!" Yoonoh is now winning about 700,000 and he's so close to getting back the 100,000 he spent. "High" Ji Jiwon answers. "It's low" He grin grabbing the bet chips. "Shall we continue? You only have about.....9 chips" He provokes. "It would be embarrassing going from 200 chips per game to 9. Let's continue tomorrow. It's nice earning money from you"

Again. He earn 800,000 dollars this time. Like what he expected, the money he's earning from Ji Jiwon kept going high. "800 plus 250, a million and 50 thousand. This is probably just 2 percent out of 70" He sighs keeping the check on his pocket.

He walk down the stairs when a woman caught his attention. He stops. Hanna Vivian. "Excuse me" It's his chance. "What is it?" The woman face him. "I know this sounds creepy but you caught my attention, would you mind having a drink with me?" He asks. "I'm not a woman who go around like slut" He frowns, eyes roaming around the woman's attire.

A black dress with deep neckline and a slit on the hem of the glittery dress. "Oh I would never call an attractive woman a slut" He grin. "What's your name?" there it goes. Hanna Vivian bit the bait. "Jaehyun" He grin. "I'm Hanna"

"Hanna, have you heard of this auction?" He ask swirling his glass of alcohol. "What auction?" The woman raise a brow. "It's illegal, I can't talk about it much" He shrug. "Then, what am I supposed to do with the information you're spitting?" The woman grin. "It would be lovely if you would like to come with me" He smiles. "I have a date already"

"That's sad" He slightly smiles. "I'm not like that woman" He raise a brow as Hanna Vivian point at a certain woman with two men beside her. "What do you mean?" He asks. "I don't fuck around. I'm a decent and expensive woman. I chose whom to spend time to" This woman think way too highly of herself. She's just a cheap woman whom you can pick anywhere. He hold in his annoyance. "Then, should I be grateful that I get the chance to spend a little time with you?"

"You're clean, right?" His confusion grew more bigger by the woman's question. "Sorry?" He replied. "This idiot whose been serenading me recently kill someone. He's so dirty" Ji Jiwon. The woman meant Ji Jiwon himself. "You hate people with dirty hand?" He asks. "Yeah, I'd rather die than spend a second with them"

"Also, can I tell you this?" The woman lean closer to him. "Sure, tell me" He nods. "There's this kid I met back then in California, what was his name again? John....Jay!" Surprise. Yoonoh only felt nothing but deja vu. Could this be the kid whom he's been finding? Hanna Vivian. "What about him?" He shrug off the thought. "He confess to me that he like me but he's so ugly back then. I just hope he's dead now"

There's no denying anymore, Hanna Vivian is the child whose been criticizing him since he was a kid. He didn't expect to see the woman like this. "Forget about him" He smiles grabbing the woman's arm. His eyes slowly went down to the woman's wrist. The scar. It's the only thing that would confirm it.

Slowly, his eyes tried to look for the scar. It's her. The scar, she has it. Angry. He's mad and fuming. He never expect things to go this way. He crave nothing but for the woman to cries on her knees begging him. He was trying to forget about his past in California but this woman remind it to him. "Jaehyun?"

"Sorry, I have to go"
