Rin's morning was apparently greeted by her mom who seemed to be in a good mood while watching an English movie. The young girl went downstairs early at seven, revealing her usual casual clothes. She's always admired pink color even when she was a child. And with her nice dress underneath an over-sized pink sweater plus white sneakers, it seemed that she prepared well for this day without anyone knowing her plans.

Her footsteps were immediately heard by the busy mom in front of the TV. "Darling, where are you going?" Mrs. Seo asked, unleashing her British accent. She quickly turned her head towards her daughter's direction, and a delightful looked appeared on her face. "Oh, you look nice."

"I'll be around Ansan to meet someone. See you later, mom."

"Wait-" Before heading out, she was immediately halted by her mom who stood up to approach her.

"Are you sure you're going to be alright?" Mrs. Seo asked concerned after knowing the risks of letting her daughter go outside.

"I'm sorry if I caused you trouble. But yeah, I'm fine."

Her mom took a moment before affirming of assurance. "Okay then. Don't forget to bring an umbrella with you just in case."

Rin headed out of their household that morning, fully ready. Though, feeling a bit pressured is inevitable. She took a walk and rode the bus on the way to their designated meeting place. While sitting at the farthest corner and looking out of the window, she thought about her first meeting with Chua Mei and how their fates once intersected in a certain annual event a long time ago.

That time, it was cold inside the function hall with a bunch of rich businessmen and silver spoons of the industry watching them from afar. She was fifteen, and had absolutely no idea what's happening, besides the fact that they were there to be a display and a show-off. They were dressed in silks and heeled sandals while old men grin at them for a favor of seeing them shimmer.

"Hey." The 18 year old Chua Mei whispered beside her while they were in a vocal line-up on stage. Rin was slightly startled by her call for attention for her to look back.

Immediately, she was greeted with a pair of gorgeous mono-lid eyes. "Do you like being here?" The older asked softly, making sure that no one would notice her simple gestures.

Rin looked back at the crowd, all dressed in suits and gowns and each with their round tables. "They're too intimidating." The young girl replied with unease.

"I know right? These loan sharks have nothing to do with their lives." She hissed quite displeased by a certain CEO of a big entertainment agency, giving a long speech on the platform beside the stage.

"Ladies and gents, XY Entertainment's hidden trump card. Chua Mei." Upon announcing her name, her expression was then turned to fake delight. She stepped forward, enchanting the guests with her charms. A microphone was given to her, and the entire hall was hushed to silence when she started singing a beyoncé song.
