Joo Daesun lives in the shadow of her popular and rich family, fearing the pressure and expectations the public may give her. She tends to keep her life private and hope she will be never involved with any part of their business.
Her life was full o...

Jake woke up from the sound of rummaging items from down stairs. He yawns and rubbed his eyes, seeing daesun on her bath robe while being a heck of a mess.
"Daesun, it's Sunday. What are you even-"
"It's freaking monday, jaeyun! And we're running late!" Daesun rages, holding his collar, about to beat the shit out him.
Jale gulp nervously, rushing to the bathroom to take a quick bath.
As he got down, daesun was already done. Waiting for him with a furious look. He chuckles before going down the halls. "It's our parents. Don't worry" he reassures her with a pat on the head, and took his keys.
"Yah. How do i look?" Daesun asks, flexing her formal attire.
Jake smiles and says, "Awful" he comments, as daesun snaps her finger in amusement.
"Greatest one yet"
They didn't waste any more time, and hop onto the car to attend their family lunch with their own parents.
It's been 8 years, lots of things happened. But long story short, these two revealed their relationship to each other to the public, about 2 years ago.
But were they really into each other?
In order to satisfy needs of their family companies, which they took over years ago, they merged their business into one by having a relationship. Therefore shares are for both companies.
"What did you see?" Daesun questions sternly, at same time being focused on the road. She saw jake move an inch back at a billboard they drove by.
"It's... A billboard of you" He states.
"I don't think we have billboards on this street, though" she replies.
"Of course we do! I wanted everyone to see your face"
"Oh please"

Daesun and jake sat beside each other, keeping a grin to their parents who had extra big ones. They were like one of those dramas, where they have contracted or arranged marriage. Except that they were the one who planned all this.
"So when are you two going to get married?" Mrs Sim asks, it's the 40th time they have heard that question. In only a day, in one sitting-- imagine if they calculate the amount of questions they got for the past 2 years they have acted.
"Mom, how many times am i going to say this. We have no plans yet to marry. We want things to be slow and steady" Jake answers his mom, earning a frown by her. Daesun on the other hand was impressed with his response. Usually she would do the talking.
"Unless daesun wants to. I won't mind" On the second thought, talking about their relationship should be managed by herself.
"Just take your time. I'm happy for you two" Mr Joo smiles to them. Making daesun, his daughter, smile wider. Though guilt stabs her again, because it's not really real.
Eventually, their meal was over. The two bow to them and left the restaurant. Daesun exhaled all her nervous nerves, and looked at jake.
"We still have a meeting with Mr Kim" Jake says, checking the schedule.
"I'm too tired to socialize" Daesun sighed, began to start the car.
"Want me to go there instead? You can take a cab" He suggested, stopping her from driving. A smile curves to daesun's face once he offers it.
She gave a peck on the cheek and squirm out of the parking lot. "You're the best!" She gave him finger hearts like crazy, which made him giggle a lot.
Jake watched her momentarily leave, his smile softens time to time whenever she's herself. Not that so formal, cold and stern woman who he's afraid of.
"That's her, right there"

Jake has been there for her, in the longest times. He never left her even if he had to. They spended a decade and a year together, no regrets, no sorry's.
Unlike someone, though he had his excuses. But he never really stayed in touch with them ever since that happened.
Daesun did her usual things when she has free time, shopping, strolling, eating. But today was new when her feet stumbled herself to an arcade.
It fascinates her that it's been years since she stepped into one again. That's about to change as she got in, got some tokens.
And guess where did she first land on?
Yup, those claw machines. That she have anger issues on, but the prizes are too cute to kick and be stepped on, sadly.
But whatever she gets or doesn't get in here. She'll surely wont mind it, because all she needs is to have a peace of mind after an argument with her sister and the whole company.
It's been killing years for her to push through the CEO vibes. It's the most sociable thing she has ever than in her life.
And for her sister, they suddenly had issues with each other. It started 8 years ago too, she was so different from the seonhee she knows.
She kept throwing hate, swears, curses to her. Which she never really understand where's her anger coming from.
Seonhee started to work for her mother's new company, it's not that big but it's a good living. She never went back home with daesun and their father.
"I spended 3 bags of tokens and i won't be able to bring one back for him" Daesun gritted her teeth, inserting the last coin she has.
Before she could even touch the controllers, someone had move her to the side and played it instead. She stood their stunned and didn't act a reaction, because she was in public.
Surprisingly, that guy got it. The dog plushie. Weird-- usually claw machines are scammers.
They handed the plush toy, daesun went by and attempted to reach it. When she stops from her action and saw a familiar bracelet she knew 8 years ago.
She looks up to the person. And saw him. Out of all years they have never seen each other, why suddenly now?
