YERIN: Mwo?!

Mr. Kim: Yes, Yerin, unfortunately...

Yerin: I... don't want to marry anyone.

Mr. Jung: It's the only way.

Yerin: Only way to what? To take away my freedom? Only way for me to get hurt and learn my lesson? What?!

She was getting the news of getting married to Taehyung. He was just sitting beside Yerin with an expressionless face.

Mr. Jung: Yerin---

Yerin: No way!

Mr. Jung: Yerin, listen to me!

Yerin:(sigh) 5 minutes.

Mr. Jung: You---

Yerin: I have a meeting, dad.

Mr. Jung:(sigh) You two need to get married to secure both of your position, princess.

Yerin: Secure my what?

Mr. Jung: Both of your positions. Just because being the boss of Asia means that you have the power to change the rules. In order for you to secure not only your position, but for the rest of the Boss' position, you have to marry someone with power.

Yerin: Do explain further.

Mr. Jung: This tradition or rule is only applicable to the Boss of Asia only. The rightful heir has to marry a powerful person in order to secure their position. In other traditions, for example, the Boss of Europe isn't allowed to rebel against the parent's order no matter how secure you have the position.

Yerin: So that's why Ailee eonnie had no choice...

Mr. Jung: That's right.

Mr. Kim: The Boss of Africa isn't allowed to marry anyone unless proven a strong bond in the relationship.

Yerin: What do you mean?

Mr. Kim: To secure the position, the Head of Africa isn't allowed to just enter any relationship and sex is strictly allowed unless married.

Yerin: Shit...

Mr. Jung: The Boss of North America isn't allowed to have a pre-marital child.

Yerin: Eunha isn't allowed to have any child unless married?

Mr. Kim: Yes.

Yerin: Just to secure the position? I mean... the Heads are the top positions, we're basically the ones leading the pack, who makes the descision?

Mr. Jung: The Commanders.

Yerin: Eh? I thought they know nothing about our existence?

Mr. Jung: They may not know but they will... once you secure the position. They will be sworn not to tell anyone since they are the teeth of the Organization---

Yerin: The what?

Mr. Jung: The teeth. They abide with the law from the dark ages. They own the court and they make sure no one breaks a rule.

Yerin: So, they're much powerful than us?

Mr. Jung: No. We're more superior than them. It's just that they are in charge of the law system in the Org.

Yerin: I'm confused.

Mr. Jung: Take an instance, the Government and a Law Court. The Government is the Heads, the law-makers and the ones in charge but once put inside the Law Court for a trial or so, they are in charge.
