One person loves someone, but cannot have them... another person has their lover, but is hanging on to fate that has a boulder between them. Jake wants to step up his feelings but has to deal with his parents loving her first. Jayla wants to express...
"We are here for the family business. And to make sure your sister is safe" she gives me a firm look, then joins the conversation with Ji-Woo's parents about the payment for the bridal dress for Ji-Woo. We arrive at this fancy cafe on the corner of Paris:
We sit down at a table with a couch before the waiter comes to our table. " Bonjour! aimeriez-vous votre recommandation?"
"Yes, we'll take that" Ji-Woo's father bluntly responds as he looks at his watch impatiently. I started to look around, seeing that everyone was high class and some people were very popular CEOs. I also see people carrying nice possessions and setting them up.

It's a bidding auction. A woman approaches the room and starts thanking lists of A-list people, including mine. She then starts to name prices in numerous languages for things like fancy paintings, bone China, rare gongs, and empress dresses. Me and my family watch deliberately as people spend nearly thousands of dollars on liabilities until the woman starts calling out prices for this handmade Hanbok* that was 'rare and supposedly brought good luck'

"Appa I want it!!" Ji-Woo points at it and then looks at her mom, "Omma, can you bid for it??". Her dad starts calling out prices. 5k,8k, no 7k. The dress was going to be sold to Ji-Woo, but Chairman Pak's daughter Chan-mi bid the dress for 200k. The fight between the two families continued until Ji-Woo's father bided 800k and the dress was sold. We get our food and quietly eat as Ji-Woo goes and picks up her dress. "Son...I expect you to treat Ji-Woo right.." Ji-Woo's father looks up at me and I look confused. "So I expect that you are respectful when you share a room with her tonight, okay?"
"Sir we are onl-"
"Shut up!" my mom mumbles and kicks my leg, "Are you deaf? do what he says!". A man walks over to me and gestures me to this room with a mirror and chair. "Mrs. Woo requested you." the man says before closing the door. Ji-Woo steps out of the bathroom and hands me this wardrobe. "Try it on for me?" she blushes and starts to unbutton my shirt. I push her away and head out the store, not knowing where I'm gonna go.
At the hotel...

I sat down on the bed, looking at my phone while Ji-Woo took a shower. I see that Bianca was in Europe as well. I can't help but check her Instagram and see that she is also in France, in a gallery near the capital. I get my jacket on and head to the gallery so that maybe I can work things out...
