Locked in the bedroom with royal guards all guarding outside, there is no way out for her. Sana is more furious to Taecyeon, she kicked the vase displayed out of frustration. Not caring whether it is worth millions of money. How can she leave now?

“Unnie” Jihyo comes inside, Sana comes to her

“Aren't you supposed to be in New York?” Sana asked

“I was but I can't just leave here knowing our family is in a mess”

“Jihyo, help me. I can't be locked up in here, I need to do something important-”

“Why? Are you gonna see your lover again?” Jihyo asked that made Sana take a step back

“You.. What do you know?” Sana asked

“The reason why you would always sneak out was because you're seeing someone at some hotel everyday and wouldn't come back after days. Your secretive skills can be impressive as you've been doing it for a long time without getting caught… but it is still not right to hide it to your family” Jihyo chuckles

“Yah what are you up to?” Sana asked

Jihyo's attitude right now is so new to Sana, why is she acting this way?

“I was just worried so I had no choice but to suggest this method to uncle-”

“To lock me against my own will?! Jihyo, are you in your right mind?!” Sana yelled

“Why did you do this?!” Sana grabbed Jihyo's cloths and pulled her closer

“I'm doing this for you” Jihyo simply said

“For me?! Who do you think you are to know what's better for me?! Who are you to meddle into my own life?!”

“Because you're being selfish, unnie!” Jihyo said that made her scoff

“While uncle is being framed by your favorite vigilante, you're busy seeing someone. Everything is a disaster but you're out there all happy with your lover? It's selfish for you that you're never involving yourself to the family matters, it's like you don't care at all and helping doesn't even come up to your mind”

Sana let go of Jihyo, she realized something at this moment. She tried so hard to wait for Jihyo to wake up and change her mind, but Jihyo's mind is settled and will be forever like this

And that is just unfortunate. It looks like Sana and Jihyo's relationship will be drifting apart now

“Are you the Jihyo I had always known?” Sana weakly asked

“Unnie-”

“How could you say that I'm happy? I've never been happy ever since the day all of you turned your backs at Miyeon! Do you think I'm enjoying everything? No, I'm so close to killing myself, Jihyo!”

“You don't know everything about me so you have no right to assume that you do!” Sana shouts

“Get out”

“Unnie, please try to-”

“Get the fucking out of my room, Jihyo!” Sana shouted 

Meanwhile …

“Look at these assholes, they're doing a charity event now huh?”

“They probably took the opportunity as people think the prince is really innocent” Jeongyeon said

“This is a great opportunity for us as well” Y/n said

“What? It's not. We can't just show up there then what? We'll shout that they're the High Society?” Dahyun asked
