Ki and Lisa attended the first concert on their itinerary: the Summer Under the Stars Concert Series. "Wow, it's so beautiful here," Lisa remarked aloud. Meanwhile, Ki was on a call with his assistant, discussing Myung's numerous attempts to reach him. "Under no circumstances should she find out where I am," Ki stated, clearly disturbed by her behavior. Lisa overheard parts of the conversation, which made her worried. "Hey, is everything okay?" she inquired.

"Not to worry her..."Just fine. We have arrived," he said, stopping the car. The venue was a beautiful outdoor waterfront pavilion, with banners listing the various artists who would play at the festival. She was excited to see history told through music.

Lisa's publicist sent her a message about Myung's invitation. She glanced at her phone, turned it off, and smiled at Ki, taking his hand. The gesture caught him off guard, but it felt good.

Once inside, a hostess approached them. "Mr. Beom, everything is prepared; please follow me," the hostess said. Lisa was impressed and curious about the formality. She led them to a balcony box overlooking the stage. The room was beautifully adorned with flowers, food, and wine. Lisa was amazed. "Did you arrange this for me?" she asked Ki.

"I did... I want this trip to be memorable, an experience we can share," Ki replied. He was not usually expressive, but he was in high spirits. He cherished the love shared between two people.

Ki and Lisa settled into their seats on the balcony, gazing down at the bustling crowd below, as the concert began, Lisa couldn't help but steal glances at Ki, feeling her heart beat faster with each look. The history of these concerts is enthralling, tracing back to the era of the Korean Dynasty and continuing to play a vital role in their culture, alongside art. Her grandmother's lineage was of royal descent, a name that still carries weight and reverence in history.

Their waiters and waitresses attended to them diligently, enhancing the already enchanting concert experience.

She turned to Ki, expressing her gratitude with a simple "thank you." He acknowledged her with a courteous nod and a silent "you're welcome."

The final song of the evening touched Lisa profoundly, bringing tears to her eyes as the lyrics resonated within her, echoing the pain of lost love and the regrets that linger.

She rose to give the artist a standing ovation for such a beautiful song... At that moment, Ki knew he had to win Lisa's heart.

Myung was anxiously awaiting a call from Lisa, publicist. She desperately needed to hear from them.

The fuel of her emotions—disappointment, anger, and rejection—was burning simultaneously, placing Myung in a dark state of mind. The reality was setting in: she had lost Ki.

She began talking to herself, urging patience, believing that circumstances would shift in her favor and Ki would return. Suddenly, a shadowy cascade of words invaded her thoughts. "But if he doesn't, all bets are off... Someone will pay the price for my broken heart."

"Let's go!" Ki told Lisa. "Where to?" she asked.

"To meet the last artist who moved you to tears," Ki said. Without hesitation, Lisa took Ki's hand as they made their way from the balcony to the stage where the artist was engaging with patrons.
