"I guess we should talk about yesterday," Kari says, stopping everyone from what they are doing.

"I didn't like your parents," Zico says from the couch.

"Me either," Kari says to herself.

Jooyoung hears her and immediately feels bad about suggesting a break. He didn't think Kari could be as upset about this as he was.

"You already know they are my parents and that I ran away from them several years ago. I when I was old enough to be on my own and go to college where I met Casey," Kari starts to explain.

"What was the birthright your mother kept referring to?" Zico asks.

"My parents rule a small country that no one has heard of. Being their daughter I have a right to their throne. Obviously I have no desire to do so, that's why I left. They tried to force me to quite dancing and marry that pansy Sebastian."

Jooyoung and Zico can't help to laugh quietly at Kari's sentiment towards Sebastian. She grimaces at the thought marrying the man, if you can call him that.

"Anyway," she says, focusing back on her story, "I refused to marry him or take the throne so I ran away to America where I met Casey. We went to college together in L.A. then transferred to Seoul University. During the end of our senior year we applied for business visas and loans to start up this company. We met Giriboy when we got here and he joined us when we made plans for this place." Kari keeps on.

"Do we get to hear your story after this?" Zico asks Casey.

"Yes," Casey answers quietly from beside him.

"I'm pretty much finished," Kari tells them. "Any questions?"

"Do you have any siblings?" Jooyoung asks.

"Yes, an older sister and a younger brother."

"Why doesn't your parents ask them to rule after them?" Zico asks.

"That's a good question. They have always insisted that I take over when they step down," Kari says with a shrug of her shoulders.

She sits down flooded with relief to have gotten that over with.

"Okay, Casey's turn," Zico says, poking her in the ribs to notify her that it's her story time.

She smacks him on the stomach to get him to stop then scoots to the edge of the couch to talk.

"My parents run a very successful oil empire back in Texas. My two older brothers are working to take over for my parents," Casey tells them. "My parents wanted me to be a doctor, but my passion has always been music. I basically defied them at every turn when they made plans my future for me. I secretly applied to UCLA while my parents applied for me to go to Harvard. I chose my acceptance to UCLA over Harvard and told them of my decision on graduation. They kicked me out that night."

"Where did you go?" Jooyoung asks as Zico takes her hand while looking at her intently.

"My mother's parents took me in and helped me during college. Obviously I met Kari there and you know we transferred later. What you don't know is that I met someone at UCLA my sophomore year. His name is Changwook, he was a Senior. We dated for a year and got married right before moving to Seoul," Casey says, surprising both guys.

Zico almost lets go of her hand, but upon seeing how difficult it is for her to tell them this he hold on to her hand tighter, giving her a reassuring smile.

"He moved here with us pursued acting, which he succeeded at," She continues. "We stayed together and were happy while I was finishing college. It wasn't until Kari and I decided to starts Triple F that we started having problems. He didn't want me to, he wanted me to support his career and be there for him. He didn't want me to fulfill my dreams. He just wanted support for his own. We tried to make it work after Triple F was started, but he wouldn't support me so we split up." Casey finishes.
