Track 14: THE LADY IN MY LIFE | A Choi Jiung Story (COMPLETED)
To his elite, "Old Money" parents, 24 year old Jiung is a project, a boy they are trying to mold into a polished heir. But behind closed doors, he's the boy in the oversized leather jacket, with chipped black nail polish, messy dark hair, and a soul that only feels alive when he's listening to distorted R&B and post-grunge records.
Sloane is the girl from the wrong side of the country club gates, the 23 year old Black girl with the vintage tees, the aspiring writer's heart, and the only person who doesn't see Jiung's "emo" phase as a problem, but as a masterpiece.
They were just best friends, two misfits bonded by shared playlists and shared secrets, until one hazy, humid night at a summer bonfire changed everything. Now, the wedding bells are ringing for a strategic marriage designed to "tame" him.
The tuxedo is on, but Jiung is suffocating.
As the music starts, Jiung realizes he can't trade his truth for a crown. A story of stolen CDs, flip-phone confessions, and the boy who jumped a garden fence in a designer suit just to get back to the girl who was always his home.
"I'm not their prince, Sloane. I'm just yours."
