"To marry a rich man and to be rich."
She's Rosé Park. A normal girl from an orphanage who flew to South Korea and introduced herself as an heiress and fabricated her whole life.

"I'll keep it, but in one condition," the baritone of his voice reverberating through my bones as he utters those words carefully.
"W-What is it?"
"Let me keep you too," He mumbled, letting his chocolate orbs bore into me as if he is examining the depth of my soul.
Although I didn't do anything, I ran out of breath as I allowed myself to drown with his eyes.
"You're kidding," I shook my head, convincing myself that what he stated is just a part of his miniature games.
Jaehyun jerked his head to the side, "You think I have time for that? I am a businessman, Rosé. I know my priorities and obligations. I know the contrast between the important things and not."
"I am not important. Just let me pass!" I shrieked.
"It is what it is. Let me keep you," Jaehyun moved his face closer to me until I can feel his lips on my ears, "Or else you want me to spill everything about you, fabricated heiress." He whispered.
Jaehyun's voice is both raspy and deep. It's low and soft but powerful enough to send chills through your body.
"Stop playing games with me! You would get no benefit if you announced my real identity to everyone. Just spare me, and I promise you I won't include you with all the games that I am p-playing."
I ultimately faltered in the last word that I said. I can even barely feel anything. And it is all because of Jaehyun's thunder yet gentle chuckle in my ear.
"Too bad I'd like to play along with the games you have planted to," He uttered.
I was getting uncomfortable yet at the same time ample with how close his lip is to my ears, and I abhor it to death. I hate that his breath is so warm to the point that I am developing unidentified chemical reactions in my insides.
"Now what, Rosé?" He uttered once again, brushing my growing emotions away, "Take it or leave it?"
I slacked my jaw as the battle between my heart and mind flashed abruptly.
Of all the things that Irene and I have done... will this finally be the end of it?
Adrenaline overloads my system; it pumps and beats like it's trying to escape. I think my heart will explode, and my eyes are immense with fear. My body wants to either run fast for the safety of the hills or to the crate of weaponry, but instead, I remain where I am.
The only thing that I could do is push him using my tiny hands with my remaining feeble force.
I was successful in pushing him away. Whether Jaehyun just let it happen or he's just as weak as I am right now, I don't know.
He was grinning with no humor while brushing his jaw when he got away from me.
"Why are you doing this?!" I snapped, glaring at him. "Just spare me and let me do these things!"
