Momo and Chaeyoung went back to Korea a day after Jeongyeon. The blonde insisted for her two best friends to stay in Greece and enjoy their remaining days of vacation but Momo told Jeongyeon that the trip won't be the same without Jeongyeon even though Momo always self-proclaiming that she herself is the most important person in their group. "Take the title all you want Momo I don't even care. But still, sorry for leaving you guys though. I'll make it up to you both." Jeongyeon replied to the group chat that she has with Momo and Chaeyoung only to get thumb ups emoji from her two buddies as replies. "Who are you texting? You said you missed me but you've been on your phone since we left your apartment and you make me drive to dad's! You're the worst co-pilot. And boring too. I swear to god you'll never find girlfriend Yoo Jeongyeon." Jihyo blurted out. "Well you're driving so eyes on the road young lady. Focus is all that matters." Jeongyeon ignored the last part of Jihyo's sentence, smirking. Little that Jihyo know Jeongyeon's charms has captivated a one specific beauty. She still had her head looking down on her phone. Jeongyeon and Jihyo was on their way to the Yoo mansion to have dinner with their dad. Both women knew the older Yoo way to well to not have dinner outside since he's fond of home cooking. Jeongyeon always teased her dad saying he has feelings for their maid who cooks and the older Yoo just laugh it off everytime.

Jeongyeon and Jihyo arrived not too long after the quiet drive. They were greeted by their maids, saying the two hasn't been around quite sometimes and they were missed dearly and Jeongyeon and Jihyo never been so flattered by the fact that they actually leave such an impact towards everyone who served their family. "Finally. My favorite daughters are here." Mr. Yoo greeted the two and gave them each a hug. "How are you Bubbles? How's the State?" Mr. Yoo asked Jihyo while side hugging the younger girl. "I'm fine dad. Works was hectic but still manageable." Jihyo assured. "Look at your sister. The buttercup's flame still on. Still mad at me I believe." Mr. Yoo whispered to Jihyo earning a giggles from the girl but Jeongyeon cut the witty conversation between the two people saying "I heard that" without even removing her sight from her phone. "Sorry sorry. Jeongyeon don't ruin the fun. Let your old man and sister live a bit. Come on now. Let's eat and we can talk about what I've been wanting to talk about to both of you." The two walked towards the dining table following the older Yoo. Jeongyeon didn't looked tense like the day before while facing her dad, heck she's not even mad anymore. Not worth of ruining a family time, she thinks to herself.

"A marriage." Jeongyeon almost choked on her drink hearing what her father just said. "You can't be serious dad. You nearly gave me a heart attack yesterday because of that accident prank and now I need to marry someone whom I didn't even know? This pranks gotta stop now Mr. Yoo." Jeongyeon retorted. Jeongyeon stop eating and not even an inch flinched from her sit. "Buttercup, calm down. Hear me out. I have a good relationship with this friend of mine and we think it would be a huge huge success to have our companies join together." Jeongyeon wasn't gonna lie, that was the most inconsiderate thing her dad ever said to her. "So just because it will be a reputable in the future you decided to sell your daughter? or did you auction my future dad? That's a total bull-" "Jeongyeon." Mr. Yoo's wearing a stern looks towards Jeongyeon. Jeongyeon has no intention to be rude towards her dad, in fact she and Jihyo was brought up being a well-mannered people. Jeongyeon never talk back with the older Yoo but hearing her dad said that just push her button. "You're selfish. I never say no to you. I followed every thing you asked me to since I was a kid. I even forgone my passion towards music because you're relying on me to take over your business, I don't have the heart to object." Jeongyeon was holding her tears back. "I can't be here right now." Jeongyeon mutters and left the dining table. Jihyo who was muted and being attentive throughout the scene tried to go after her sister but her dad stop her in her tracks. "Leave her be Jihyo. You know how she is when she's mad. Let her be alone for a day or two. She will look for you after that. It has always been like that when she's upset right? Beside, I want to asked you something as well." Jihyo just sigh and sat back. To be honest she's too disappointed with her dad but being the youngest in the family, she knew that she doesn't have much say in every decisions made. "Jihyo, I think it's time for you to come home for good and work with your sister now. I know she doesn't required any help running the company but can you make your old man happy? Please?" Mr. Yoo cooed Jihyo, trying to make the younger girl stay. "Dad. You know how I'm always so grateful to get to spent my time with both of you, but you also know why I can't stay here with you guys. I love my job there. Maybe one day okay?" Jihyo stated that comes with a plain smile after that.

Jeongyeon didn't just left the dining table. She left her dad's house knowing Jihyo will be pissed at her for leaving the poor girl behind but Jeongyeon was too mad and upset at that moment and being in her dad's house with the thoughts of marrying someone that she doesn't even knew makes her want to puke. She was driving directionless, with one hand on the steering wheel and another was massaging her forehead. Her mind got worked up so much it's unsettling for the girl. Jeongyeon decided to reach her house after an hour of driving aimlessly. She threw her keys on the wall racks and lay on her couch. Jeongyeon didn't want to burden her thoughts so she tried to close her eyes to calm herself down thinking about the happiest thoughts she could ever think of and then it hit her. Nayeon. She almost forgot about the beauty. She had the shortest but the best days in Greece because of the girl. The girl that had captured her heart effortlessly. Jeongyeon tried to call Nayeon but the girl didn't picked up. Adding up to her disappointment of the day, Jeongyeon began to feel weariness and eventually fell asleep.

Jeongyeon was woken up by the ray of sun shine straight to her face through the sliding door. She was stretching her body and rubbing her eyes harmlessly right before the door bell was ringing. Jeongyeon walked towards the door and as soon as she opened it, Jeongyeon was greeted with a snarky comment from Momo. "Good morning oh wait, it's AFTERNOON." "Gosh stop yelling please. What do you want Momo?" Jeongyeon grunts, walking away towards her kitchen with Momo following from behind. When Jeongyeon was about to take something from the fridge, Momo close the fridge fast enough before Jeongyeon could reach it. "You look like a mess. I brought breakfast. Wash your face. I'll wait at the balcony." Jeongyeon scrunched her forehead and relax immediately, nodding her head as a sign of agreed. Jeongyeon came back a few minutes after to the smell of coffee. Jeongyeon sat down and wasting no time devouring the food. "Slow down Jeong. Wouldn't want a title on newspaper tomorrow saying 'A billionaire heiress choked on a croissant' would it?" Momo joked. Jeongyeon just glared at the girl. "What are you doing here?" Jeongyeon asked. "Will it hurt your ego to say thanks for bringing you breakfast? Damn be a little appreciative will ya? Anyway, Jihyo called me this morning. Asking to check on you. Everything good?" As much as Jeongyeon doesn't want to tell, she know Momo could gives the best at advice. The girl may have been playful all the time but her mind works on its own creative way at times.

"Well I'll be damned." Momo was in disbelieve. Jeongyeon sighed heavily after telling her friend everything. Momo knew this kind of deals that business people will play to earn a bigger catch in the industry but she didn't expect that her friend's dad will be on the list of people 'selling' their heirs. "That's all you gotta say? No other comments from the wise Hirai Momo?" Jeongyeon barks. "I know I'm wise but this got me.. processing a little longer. What you gonna do about this whole marriage thing?" Jeongyeon has no idea what to answer. So she just shrugged her shoulders and continue eating. "I think you should speak up Jeongyeon. It's your future it's supposed to be your decision not your dad. Talk to him. Make him understand. I'm not trying teach you to be a disobedient child but the world doesn't work with arrange marriage only now you know." Momo genuinely stated. "Thanks Momo. I know I gotta confront my dad but not now. I don't wanna deal with him at the moment. Besides I'm basically still on vacation so I would rather fooling around with you, Chaeng and Jihyo." Momo gasped at the statement. "Fooling around? I don't know you have a thing for me? awhh come here." Momo smirking and extending her hands cupping Jeongyeon face and trying to give the blonde a kiss. "You're disgusting stay away from me. You know what I mean by that jackass." Jeongyeon pushed Momo's face away and both ended up laughing wholeheartedly enjoying their time that day.
