"Do I really need to go there?" Dahyun weakly asked, hugging her black backpack and sulkingly burries her face on it.

They were driving at the beginning of the metal bridge. The end is a big circular cemented surface port where the highest people in society, called as First Class, usually waits for their turn to enter a boat to go overseas or just to unwind.

"Yeah. We've talked about this last night and you're already here so no turning back." Her mother replied, looking at her through the rear view mirror.

"It won't be that boring, Dahyun. Your suitor is there right? Who was it? Boomboom?" Her father added earning a loud groan from Dahyun.

She sits properly and gives her Dad a weirded look, "It's Jaebum, Dad. And I don't like him. He's just a self-proclaimed suitor. I had turned him down multiple times but he's so persistent." Dahyun answered with full of annoyance in her voice.

Her mom chuckles, "That was me when your dad pursued me using his ostentatious pretence which gradually became effective because now I couldn't keep my eyes off of him."

Dahyun rolled her eyes but then laughed at them, especially when her Dad shoots hearts towards her mom. They were always like that- sweet and cheesy that would always disgust her, but she loves seeing them like that.

"And Jihyo would be there as well! I'm sure she'll be your helmswoman."

"Really? She'll attend too?" Dahyun excitedly asked, leaning in to see her mother's face. Her mom smiled and nodded and pinched her cheek fondly.

She couldn't help the excitement of seeing her cousin, Park Jihyo, who's always been busy and away. The last time she saw her was her mom's birthday last year, she didn't make it this year because she has a scheduled voyage.

She sits back straight again and waits for them to arrive. The classical music from the radio was filling the happy atmosphere of her parents and her own mixed mood. The sun is already setting and was giving a metallic picturesque view of the ocean on the left side of the bridge. There were some yacht lined up on the end of the bridge and she could see the expensive and shining cars parked on each parking space ahead of them.

What would she expect? This port is exclusively for the richest representatives of Korea, of course there's flexing of expensive cars, expensive clothes, and sparkly blinding accessories, competition of how many body guards they have, and silently bragging of their powers and connections and wealth.

Well, that's not how Dahyun was raised and her parents do not play the game these people were creating. She was taught in an early age not to spend her money into expensive things, her mom pays close attention to her whenever they go to supermarket and she was only allowed to buy one thing she most wanted, so it also practiced her decision skill.

Her parents do not own expensive cars, her dad's was already old model which was with him since the start of his business few years ago and the gift they gave Dahyun on her twentieth birthday which was not the latest model. They only have two body guards that they really treat well because their family is friendly and no one's holding grudges against them so they supposed, they're safe. Their house is not a mansion, it was just two storey with modern style and would still be identified as a house of a first class family.

Yet still, they owned a lot of property- a lot than anyone expected. They just don't flex it like the others but they're dangerous if anyone would go against them. They could steal the First spot if they want, but her father doesn't want the attention, mainly because Dahyun hates them.

Her Dad parked his car on the left side of the port, going out fastly to open the door for her and her Mom which made her smile a little. Dahyun always looks up to her father, to the point that she wishes her future husband would be like his Daddy who is a loyal, faithful, family-oriented guy. Her standard is high, the very reason why she haven't had boyfriend since birth.
