It all started when a curious young woman wandered around her uncle's little office.

She was not really into business stuff, but lately, the fact that how her uncle and aunt whom she loved dearly seemed so down because of their business, made her unable to stay ignorant of it.

She was really concerned whether the meeting ran well and her uncle could get the deal he had wished.

The success of her uncle would mean the world to the family -to her life, for she had been taken care by them since her parents had passed away.

She knew that it was impolite but couldn't help to peek through the glass on the door once in a while. Then she finally saw the man her uncle had been negotiating with; a fine, really fine young gentleman dressed in suit and tie. His hair was short brunette and handsome would definitely be an understatement.

She felt her breath hitch the moment her eyes met his clear onyx orbs.

They were alluring, dark, and.. charming. He was so beautiful, like a painting came out to life. Never had she met a man so close to perfection.

Though she wanted to stare at it forever, she immediately broke the contact and felt all but burning cheeks for she realized she had been caught eavesdropping, red-handed. She decided to leave her spying spot in panic and ran back to her bedroom upstairs.

The next thing she heard from her uncle, was him saying that she had to sleep with a man. For that night only, he added.

"W-what do you mean?" she asked, disbelieving her own ears.

Her uncle sighed. Deeply. Uneasily.

"Listen carefully, my dear Fany," he said. "This man, Mr. Kim, is known as a really successful enterpreneur. Despite owning huge companies, he's a generous man who often helps weak businessmen like me to grow and develop. He gives advices, investment, and capital. He also helps in promotions."

".. And what does that have to do with me?" the girl named Hwang Tiffany asked, already in verge of tears.

"But.." her uncle grabbed her by shoulders, his face was sorry. "But for every deal, he always gives a peculiar condition to his client. And this time, the condition is you, Hwang Tiffany. He requested for you to be his company tonight."

Tiffany finally cried as she hit her uncle's chest. "NO! UNCLE, NO! I won't give my first time to a man I don't even know!"

The room was filled with her heartbreaking cry, and her uncle stayed quiet while hugging his beloved niece. His heart was shattered, seeing her like that.

After eventually her crying turned to sobbing, he finally let out a sigh and smiled regretfully at her.

"I am sorry, my little girl. I shouldn't have asked you from the very beginning. Please just forget what I have just told you." He patted the crown of her head. "I feel so ashamed as a substitution to your parents."

With that, he released the hug and was about to leave the pink-dominated room, when suddenly some senses knocked Tiffany's head, which made her grab the edge of her uncle's old striped shirt.

"Then what's going to happen, uncle? Will he cancel the deal?" she sniffed.

"I am afraid so, but I'm gonna figure something out, so don't you worry." He smiled, half-heartedly. Truth was the only thing left to do was to ask for loan.

"I.. will do it, uncle."

Her uncle's eyes popped open. That time was his turn to disbelief his ears. "You'll do it? FOR REAL?"

Then she nodded and immediately embraced by her uncle, saying how she had just saved the whole family being. He even added that the man was a really good man and he would treat her well -he was sure of that.

She just smiled at seeing her uncle so happy; he hadn't been like that for some time.

However after he left the room, she locked the door, fell to the floor, and once again, this time harder: cried her heart out.
