3RD PERSON POV:

HAHAHAHA!

WOMAN: That woman was so hilarious! Tripping on her own dress because of her mask? She even knocked over all the tables.

Heeseung stands still listening to the woman talking and laughing like a crazy person. She then continued,

WOMAN: And it happened just when things were getting boring, too. That was amusing to watch.

WOMAN: Now that we're home ,let's drink some more. I'm not ready to end the night yet.

She drips the wine in a glass and then says,

WOMAN: Heeseung, go bring me more wine.

HEESEUNG: You've already drank plenty at the party. 

HEESEUNG: I think thats's enough for today.

Heeseung grabs the wine glass from her and looks sternly into her eyes.

WOMAN: You.... have been looking unhappy since the party.

Her voice softens. She continues,

WOMAN: Why? Is it because people were murmuring behind my back earlier?

WOMAN: I know what they're whispering behind my back.

THAT EVIL GIRL.

SHE BARELY GOT BACK BECAUSE OF HER HUSBAND, AND SHE HAS THE AUDACITY TO HAVE AN AFFAIR!

YOU KNOW THOSE TYPE OF GIRLS. THEY JUST LIVE HOWEVER THEY WANT.

SHE'S RICH,YOUNG AND PRETTY. LIFE MUST BE SO EASY FOR HER.

WOMAN: So what? I've already been hearing that for a few years.

SHE HAS THE HOTEL AND THE HUGE MANSION SHE INHERITED TO HERSELF.

ALTHOUGH, WHAT USE IS BEING RICH WHEN YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IS DEAD?

SHE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT SURVIVED.

WOMAN: It's not like they're wrong.

I KNOW, WE SHOULD ACTUALLY FEEL SORRY FOR HER.

AND NOW THAT SHE'S MARRIED, SHE'S COMPLETELY CHANGED....JUST LOOK AT HOW SHE CONDUCTS HERSELF, TSK.

DIDN'T SHE MARRY HER HUSBAND TO HAVE HIM MANAGE HER HOTEL BUSINESS? THEY'RE BASICALLY STRANGERS TO EACH OTHER. I HEARD THAT THEY DON'T GET ALONG.

HEESEUNG:........

EVEN SO, THAT'S NO EXCUSE FOR HER BEHAVIOR. HOW CAN SHE DO THAT WHEN SHE HAS A HUSBAND?

SHE HAS NO SHAME.

HEESEUNG: ......You're upset, Lady Jaemi.

Jaemi looks straight into Heeseung's eyes and then grabs his hair harshly and throws the wine glass to the floor which shatters into pieces. Then she makes Heeseung kneel infront of her and says in a deep voice,

JAEMI: DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT.

JAEMI: YOU'RE THE ONE WHO LOOKED UPSET FIRST.

She then unties the mask Heeseung was wearing and dropped it to the floor. Heesung looks at her sternly but his eyes had that look which says 'I'm worried for you'

JAEMI: I think I'm really going to get angry if you keep looking at me like that. So.....

She then grabs his tie harshly and pulls him close to her so that their faces are inches apart.

JAEMI: Stop. Testing. Me. And. Bring. Me....MORE WINE.

Just then the door opens and a maid comes with a wine bottle in her hands.

MAID: I thought Lady Jaemi might want this.

She then bows and gives the bottle to Heeseung and leaves.

Outside the room the a newly hired maid was standing and when the other maid left the room she asked her,

 MAID 2: It's tomorrow, Isn't it? The day our master is coming back.

MAID 1: Yes, and make sure you're prepared because It's also wednesday. They will both be in a bad mood tomorrow, so pay special heed to their requests.

MAID 2: Pardon?

MAID 1: Our master will be exhausted from the season long business trip....And Lady Jaemi will naturally be upset because her husband is back.

MAID 2: Oh, so you're saying they both maybe sensitive tomorrow. I understand.I'll take special care not to upset them.

MAID 1: ....Now that our master is back...

MAID 1: Soon....The SERENITY MANOR will be blooming with red summer roses

MAID 1: It will be the beginning of a Rose Tinted Summer.....

Suddenly it starts raining heavily.

MAID 1: ....AS CRIMSON AS BLOOD....

MAID 1: .....AND AS RED AS THE SUNSET.

AND AS RED AS THE SUNSET
