The characters from season one will now be the side characters and they will come into the story every now and then but the new characters will be the main characters from season two on out.

Hayden Du Mon, the son of the biggest fabric business and textile printing business that came from China. 

His father's business started from his mother's love for fabric making and fabric art, his father was the one who invested in his mother and her talent. His mother and father used to be students at the same school but his father didn't invest in his mother until the two got married when they turned 20 years old and had just started going to college.

They were married for 3 years before he was born, when he turned 7 was when his mother died from a disease that took her without any warning. After his mother's funeral, it was as if all of his father's reasoning for him to stay in China was gone because he packed up and went to England with Hayden. 

Hayden blamed his father for the death of his mother, he felt that if only his father had the time for his mother then maybe his mother wouldn't have died alone as she did without him by her side, even though as her mother lay on her deathbed, she had told him to not blame his father but that was not how he saw things. 

Hayden had always felt like his father neglected his mother and that his father took more priority with his job over their family. Hayden hated the fact that his father didn't pay attention to his wife, Hayden was scared that he would be the same as his father since he love the fabric art that his mother had taught him since he was little. 

Hayden didn't want to fall in love and make another woman's life like his mother's who died alone in the hospital bed while his father was making deals with his own business. It made Hayden scared that one day he would fall in love and does the same thing so he kept himself away from love matter, even from his father.

His father brought him to England but his father didn't really bother to connect with him, but the good thing was that when his father brought him to England and began his business with the other six, it gave him the chance to connect with the other kids that were from the other family as well. Hayden was close with the other boys and even the only girl was like a sister to him and that was the closest thing to a family that he had.

Hayden was closer to the other two since they were the younger ones, Jhon from the Li Vone family and Kaine from the Li family. The three of them were the younger kids among the six families, they all got along with each other the most even though he also get along with the other three as well. 

Hayden is an Art student in a good college, he works in fabric and textile studies so that he could further his mother's dream and work but he didn't know that his mother had made a promise to someone for him.

When Hayden turned 23 his father sat down with him one day, at first Hayden didn't want to talk to his father but when his father said that it was something that his mother left for the two to talk about, Hayden couldn't refuse. Hayden who had never really held any proper conversation with his own father sat down with his father in the living room.

"What do you need?" Hayden said to his father, the old man looked at him with the poker face that his father usually wore

"Is that any way to talk to your father?" his father asked him but Hayden shook his head with a smile 

"Have you ever considered me as your son? Just tell me what you want." Hayden said to his father who sighs 

"I need you to pick someone up from the airport." His father said to him but he looked up at his father from his phone 

"What? You could have the driver or the maids go pick them up, why does it have to be me?" Hayden asked his father 

"You have to be the one to pick her up, she is your finacee." His father said to him and Hayden stood up from his seat

"FIANCEE?! When did I have a finacee?!" Hayden asked his father and his father shook his head 

"This is the daughter of your mother's friend, your mother had promised and asked for their daughter's hand in marriage for you when you and that child had met each other when you were younger." His father said to him and he said nothing, Hayden had nothing much from his mother since she passed away when he was young. The only thing that he has of his mother is the photos of his mother, his mother's design journal, and a locket that his mother had gifted him before she passed away.

"...When?" Hayden asked his father 

"She should be landing in an hour." His father said to him and he nodded as he got up from his seat, grabbed his key, and went out to his car. Hayden arrived at the airport but he doesn't know what she look like or her name so he wasn't able to pick her up, as he was looking around he called his father for the first time in 12 years. 

"What is her name and what does she look like?" He asked his father 

"I will send the photo in a minute once I can find it but her name is Yukino, Yukino Himamori." His father said to him Hayden hung up on the phone and was walking around the airport when he bumped into a young girl. 

"Oh!" the young girl said as she was stumbling and Hayden took hold of her hand and helped her back on her feet.

"So-Sorry!" The young lady said to him but he shook his head as he helped pick up her suitcase and handed it to her

"No worries, it was my fault." Hayden said and the young girl shook her head as she looked around the airport as well 

"Are you lost?" Hayden asked her

"It's my first time here, can you direct me towards the exit?" She asked him and he pointed her towards the door he stood there waiting for his father to send him the photo of the young lady that he have to pick up. But while he was waiting the young lady he helped was staring at him from a distance and after about 10 minutes she walked up to him again. 

"I-I'm sorry, can I ask you something?" the young lady said to him and he smiled at her

"What can I help you with?" he asked her 

"Are you Hayden?" She asked him and he nodded

"Are you Yukino?" Hayden asked him and she nodded and it was then that his phone rang and it was a photo from his father and it was her. Hayden was dead set on sending her back but she was so cute that he didn't want to send her back.

"....Please follow me." Hayden said to her no longer smiling at her and lead her to the car, he opened the car door for her and put her suitcase in the trunk, and got into the car. Hayden said nothing to her throughout the whole ride home, once they arrive home Hayden got out of the car and helped her take out the suitcase for her and handed it to the maid. 

"Lead her to her room." Hayden said to the maid and headed towards his own work room and closed the door, he didn't know that his father went to welcome the young lady. 

Yukino's side

It was her first time in England but she was so excited to come to meet her long-awaited finacee that she had only seen his photo, she was in love with the young man that she would see every year from the photo that his father send to her mother. 

When she saw him in real life she was so excited that she didn't think it was him in real life but she found the encouragement and walked up to talk to him but once he found out who she was the young man that smiled at her earlier was nowhere to be seen. Once the two of them arrived at his house, he handed her suitcase to a maid and went inside without saying anything to her at all and while she was making her way into the house a voice called out to her. When she looked up it was an old man that walked out of the house.

"Yukino, welcome." the old man said to her and she bow to greet him and looked up at him with a smile.

"Thank you for having me." Yukino had seen him once, and even though he was not as young as the last time she had seen him but he still have the same features.
