Yo-Han brought Dan-Bi to Myung-Wook Bank, a bank owned by the Yoon family, people say that they are the Second Finance Ministry of the country. They own several bank branches and insurance companies, they just sold Dong Il city bank where Yo-han's mother, Min Ju-Eun works to the Kim Jin empire, due to internal problems. The Yoon family is known for dominating more than 50 percent of the financial institutions in the country.
Yo-Han had gotten a vault for the safety of his art pieces in the bank. He even payed for their service to transfer the art pieces to the auction house later that week.
Each of his art piece worth a fortune, his works are more like that of Leonardo Da Vinci, that famous painter. Yo-Han had been keeping them as insurance for his mom and himself, his plan was to randomly sell one off whenever he is financially down.
When Dan-Bi entered the vault and saw the art pieces she was astounded, bewildered and astonished all at the same time.
"Oh my God, Yo-Han who did all this? This person...I don't know what say. I am gonna marry this painter one day."
"Hey, are you sure about that?... Because that's me you are talking about." Yo-Han declared.
"Stop joking,...hahaha...How will you tell me you are the one who painted this, This painter is well experienced but you are just an high schooler with no experience, can you even paint the country's flag.?"
Yo-Han did not respond he only smirked and brought her close to one of the art piece to show her his signature that is on all the art pieces. She opened her mouth wide in disbelief. "Yo-Han, you really did this?."
"If not I won't be allowed into this vault" He added with a sly smile on is lips.
'That's true if not he wouldn't have access to this place'. It's a logical way to convince her.
If not for the bet Yo-Han would not have found a suitable chance to show Dan-Bi his treasures, '
his art.' and smash her little pride into pieces ' lets see if you can still brag about you painting skills.'
"I should never call myself an artist. " she blurted out shyly, she could barely look up to him. At first she thought he brought her to see an exhibition and have fun altogether, now she knew that he brought her here to shatter her pride. 'What a bad human being.'
Yo-Han laughed mildly at her words. "Why not?" he asked.
"Yeah when will you take me to see your art works." He was grinning from ear to ear as he watched her embarrassed expression.
"Forget it you win already, how am I to compete with you when your art skills are from another universe... You deserve a kowtow." She said jokingly to ease the weirdness of her embarrassment.
"Count yourself lucky. Only my mom has seen this art pieces, I wanted to show you before the whole world lays it's eye on them". He added without waiting for her reply.
Those words made her feel like she holds a bigger place in his hearts.
"Are you selling them.?...Can I get one.?"
"They are all on auction already, auctioning is in a few days the only way to get one is to buy one, Well if you like you can come and be my special guest that day, it's this weekend and you will get to see more art pieces from other famous artists.".
"Okay, at least today will not be my last day of seeing these treasures, count me in" Dan-Bi said without thinking twice.
"And don't forget, I have a 'make a wish' card now..."
After scrutinizing each art pieces to her satisfaction the two left the bank. They went around town to get to know more about the city.
"Why did you never tell me you are such a good artist, if you did we wouldn't need to make a bet." She said as they walked through a park.
"Was it not you who said my hands are like those of a painter the other time?, Did you just say something random then?" Yeah, she did say something random then, she knew not what she was saying.
"Nevermind, I forget things so easily. " She replied.
"But you never forget to hang out with me everyday in the cafeteria, you never forget to make me smile, Dan-Bi, I used to think companionship is not a must, not until you came into my life that I knew that I used to be a bird locked in a cage and your appearance gave me the freedom that I didn't believe existed. "
The sun has almost disappeared from view, the two were facing each other looking right into one another's eye.
"Dan-Bi thank you for giving me a feeling of freedom, I would like to propose..." Yo-Han paused.
She did not believe that she had been a very important part of his life in such a short period of time. They only met a week ago and he felt this way. She was glad she made the move that day, if she hadn't helped him find Na-Gil, they probably won't be were they are now.
She also wanted to tell him how he had brought back the real Dan-Bi, how he had managed to show her to listen to her heart, she now believe that this feeling is not heartache, its something she can't comprehend but she believes in, is this what they call 'love' ?. She was seriously waiting for him to continue his speech. 'Probably the time I have been waiting for is finally here.'
" I will like to propose this as the idea for the art project, a beautiful young lady, setting a bird free, making it flap it wings one more time while humming 'Freedom, Freedom'." He finally crushed her expectations and smiled triumphantly.
When he mentioned the art project, it ruined the moment. ' What will I do with this insensitive Yo-Han .' she just nodded in agreement.
At that moment Yo-han's phone rang but before he could get it out of his bag, the caller hanged up.
"Its my mom, she is probably worried, I don't stay out like this,... I think it's time to go."
"Okay, go on then."
"Not until you leave first."
Yo-Han waited until Dan-Bi's chauffeur came to pick her then he went home.

Unknown to the couple, Seung-Heon had been watching them from a far distance, he was having coffee in a cafe when he suddenly looked out of the window to the direction of some of the children playing, his eyes moved along with the children's displacement to the direction where he finally saw the two standing in front of each other.
When he saw the way they stare into each others eye, he wanted to go and separate the two, give Yo-Han a few punches and warn him not to get close to Dan-Bi again, he thought they were going to end up kissing, not until the two departed without any intimate actions did he calm down.
He managed to calm himself down but his mind thought of nothing else but how he will deal with Yo-Han. The viciousness in his eyes were like that of a betrayed emperor, seeking revenge on those who turned against him.
