(For Timeline reasons, Wonyoungie arrived first)

After being seated, Wonyoung and Sakura were looking at their menus and chatting until a man in a brown hoodie walked past them.

Wonyoung immediately followed the man with Sakura chasing after her.

Meanwhile, an oblivious Jeonghoon grabbed a newspaper with Wonyoung's face on it, talking about her run from the altar and Felix's message for her to return to Seoul to make things right and go on with the wedding. Jeonghoon couldn't help but feel bad for the Eider heiress and starting to feel sympathy and somehow, developed a crush on her. Jeonghoon was minding his own business until two people sit across from him.  Jeonghoon, thinking it was some fans who recognized him, puts down his newspaper and was about to reach for the marker until he looked at the women.

Sitting in front of the Rocketman, in living color, was the runaway bride herself, Jang Wonyoung, and her lifelong friend and assistant at Eider, Miyawaki Sakura.

Jeonghoon, for lack of a better word, was stunned by Wonyoung's beauty and was speechless for a few minutes until Sakura broke the tension by introducing herself and Wonyoung.

"Hello, Mr. Yoo, I am Miyawaki Sakura, assistant to my friend and future CEO of Eider, Jang Wonyoung-"

"It's nice to finally meet the famous Rocketman of Cleveland in person."

Jeonghoon was stunned.

"H-how do you know me, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Well, it's not hard to know about the first Korean-Filipino quarterback in the NFL, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for you due to the gambling allegations lobbied against you"

"It's ok, Miss Jang-"

"Just Wonyoung, please"

"It's ok, Wonyoung, i managed to beat those allegations, and we are well on our way to the playoffs"

"I'm sorry about the whole 'runaway bride' situation, Wonyoung"

"Oh, it's nothing, Jeonghoon, besides, I came to America looking for my perfect husband, and just between the three of us, I already found him"

"Oh, might i know whom?"

"It's you, Jeonghoon-ah"
