Yoon Se-ri was absolutely dying of boredom.

In a sea of painfully boring black and white, he was effortlessly turning heads with his statuesque frame clad in navy blue.
Especially when it contrasted stylishly with the red from a pair of Christian Louboutin dress shoes, which played peekaboo with every step he took.
She knew he could pull it off for sure; Ralph Lauren's prestigious Purple Label specialises in ultra-luxurious tailoring and outerwear defined by plush fabrications and fine Italian craftsmanship.
If there's anyone who could bring out the elegance of such fine workmanship, it would be her pianist beau.

The couple hardly spoke to each other - which was a good thing as well, since Se-ri would surely have problems keeping her hands off Jeong Hyeok.
This was taking all the acting skills she had as Yoon Se-ri the drama queen.
