One rainy afternoon, the student council is busy preparing for their upcoming University Festival. Park Seoul University festival  is one of most awaited festival in Seoul. Every University student around Seoul are invited to visit the prestigious University given that high security measures are in place during the event.

"Umm.. President, I think the budget wasn't enough to do all the activities. " Lily said, the student council treasurer. "Is there anyway we can increase our funds?" Nayeon asked, the student council vice-president. No way we could find another sponsor less than a month. I guess all I need to do is call my sister for an additional budget. Jihyo said, the student council president. "Can you? I mean.. you told us that your sister.. I mean the University president is strict and inconsiderate.. like she's a typical company president we see in movies. Jeongyeon said, the Student Council Secretary. Jihyo gulped upon hearing what Jeongyeon said because she almost forgot that her sister sometimes acts as a rude boss towards everyone including her. She then realized something she forgot all along. Its Chaeyoung who's been doing all the stuff related to the University's financial management. Even though her sister owns the school it is her niece who runs the school since last year due to the fact that her sister was busy taking care of someone. "Its already 5:30pm, let's end the meeting today and continue tomorrow. With the budget, I'll take care of it." Jihyo said. She then called her niece to meet up but the latter just inform Jihyo to go inside the University President Office.

Jihyo knock three times before entering. She scan big room until she find the thick folders piled up in front of her almost covering Chaeyoung. "Overtime?" Jihyo asked. "No. I'm just checking this..school expenses stuffs" Chaeyoung said while signing the papers. "Well, I'm here to ask you a favor?" Jihyo said. Chaeyoung stopped what she's doing. "You know that I don't like doing favors without anything in exchange." Chaeyoung said. "I know, I want you to increase the budget for the University Festival." Jihyo said. Chaeyoung furrowed her eye brows. "Wait.. Why? That budget is big enough.. Just remove some unnecessary activities." She said getting back to signing the papers. Again, Jihyo-ssi forgot that some of her sister attitude was inherited by her niece. They are strict and rude sometimes. " I know but everyone's expecting a lot for the upcoming festival.." Jihyo said. "Unnie.. I already signed the budget and actually I already sent the copies to my mom...she.." I cutted her words. " I'll ask father's permission to bring Minyoung in my house... Would that be enough?" Jihyo saw the excitement in Chaeyoung's eyes. "You...you think.. You can do that?" Chaeyoung asked. " I can.." Jihyo said. " Then, how many percent of the original budget you want to add?" Chaeyoung asked. " about 20% of the original budget.. That will be enough" Jihyo said. "Okay. Deal" Chaeyoung said while keeping her files in place. "Are you going home with me?" Jihyo asked. I'll go home when you already brought Minyoung. Chaeyoung said. "Kat, aren't you tired? Living alone in that small apartment.. Isolating yourself from living the life you should be? Since, you came back from America.. All you did was to survive on your own.. You're working different part time jobs to support yourself and  daughter.. I mean you are a Park and a Son." Jihyo said worriedly. "Unnie, I'm okay.. I can do this.. As long as I can survive without Grandfather's money.. I'm sure I'm going to be okay. He already have Minyoung, my daughter. Im just lucky that mom decided to take good care of my daughter. And, here I am taking her place so for her not to stress herself out. Believe it or not, having Minyoung was unplanned but because of her I had this freedom I want to have for long time ago" Chaeyoung said. "I know.. But you didn't even told us what really happened.." Jihyo said. "Unnie, as I told you.. I was drugged... and I don't know who's the father." Chaeyoung said almost tearing up. "Hey.. I'm sorry.. Its not my intention to make you remember it.. But do you know who drugged you?" Jihyo said while patting Chaeyoung's head. "If I told you.. would you believe me?" Chaeyoung seriously asked while staring to her Aunt. Jihyo gulped as she will know a very important fact about Chaeyoung at this very moment. " I will.. I promised you I'm always on your side. You are not just my niece.. You are also my friend.." Jihyo said. "Unnie, Its Uncle Park  Won- sook. He despises me alot! He.. He...how can he planned.." Chaeyoung said then burst out crying. "Oh my God.. Kat.. I believe you. I'm so sorry. We are not there to protect you. I..I'm gonna kill that asshole big brother of mine.. How can he.. " Jihyo said while hugging Chaeyoung.
