The Choi family home.
Choi Mu-Young, Dan-Bi's father invited her to his study. She did not believe her ears at first when he called her to see him. She had a bad feeling of what is to come but she still followed obediently into the study. After taking her seat, Mr Choi cleared his throat and spoke with a soft voice.
"Hmm hmm... Choi Dan-bi my daughter, I have good news for you, it's something great and you are the biggest beneficiary."
"You do know that the Choi family has a good relationship with the Jang family, I have been friends with Jang Chul-Soon since I learnt to crawl. "
"You know his son Jang Seung-Heon, I know you like him a lot, therefore the two of us decided to arrange an engagement between the two of you. Just to make our bond stronger,...think about it, you get the man you want and the Choi family gets the Jang family's help. Jang Chul-Soon had agreed to help me win CEO Won of Won Media over as my campaigner towards my ambitions of becoming the next Health minister, its all my ancestors had tried but failed to become,...ha... finally your fathers dream is coming to reality.." Mr Choi said grinning from ear to ear.
Dan-Bi was shocked, ' I knew this will not be well ' she said to herself. If anyone told her that her dad would trade her for his ambitions, she would not believe at least not in this lifetime.
" Dad, I am not interested in this, I can't do this, I am not doing this" she shakes her head to let the old man know that she is not interested.
Choi Mu-Young's smile disappeared immediately. " why not?, It's your chance to prove yourself worthy of the Choi name. I am not asking for your consent, the decision has been made. I am not going back on my word, what do you want Jang Chul-Soon to think of me? . Its final!!!"
Actually, Mr Choi did it for Dan-Bi, Mr Jang didn't ask for anything in return, it was him who proposed the idea to Jang Chul-Soon and the latter had no problem about the arrangement, thus he agreed.
He really cared about her, but he despised her for her rude and arrogant attitude and the way she distanced herself from everyone. When the rumour of her change in attitude got to his hearing, he was glad and he decided to usher her with more fatherly love. That's when he decided to get her her greatest heart desire. That was his reason, he had no other intentions he only used his ambitions as excuse.
Not knowing that Dan-Bi's transformation is a result of someone else's impact, he arranged an engagement with Seung-Heon. Feeling innocent and just, he believed that the news about Dan-Bi was just a rumour, she is still as arrogant as ever for her to reject his help this way. He would not accept such an attitude from his daughter, ' I gave birth to you, not the other way around, therefore you must obey my instructions!!!'.
" Dad I am not getting engaged with someone I don't like." Dan-Bi said, tears already forming in her eyes.
"Hahaha....what a nice excuse, who are you deceiving?, The whole world knows how much you like Seung-Heon, have you forgotten how you always tag along whenever I go visit Jang Chul-Soon, just so you can meet Seung-Heon? So tell me who are you deceiving?, Just tell me that you don't want to help your old man get what he wants!" Mr Choi shouted angrily and slammed his hands on the desk.
" You can get the help you need some other way, why must you use me!!?" For the first time, she raised her voice.
"Me, use you?, Get out of this place now!!, Before I get angry at you." He was already angry to a point where he would become violent anytime soon. But he had to control himself, she is his lovely daughter, her only ' but ' is her arrogance and rudeness, that is enough to make him angry.
Without wasting more of her time, she stormed out of the study, almost destroying the violently slammed door behind her.
Madam Choi and the other family members that overheard the angry sounds emitting from the study were also worried, they knew what was going on and it baffled them when Dan-Bi rejected the proposal, ' was that not her lifelong wish?'. The only one who had a clear understanding of what is going on is Grandma Choi because she is the only Choi who knows of Yo-han's existence aside Dan-Bi.
Dan-Bi dashed into the living room to pick her phone before she leaves the house angrily. That was the moment Seung-Heon chose to make his unwelcomed arrival. She picked her phone from the sofa she left it and walked out without sparing him a second glance.
"Madam Choi, good day,.... I think I should go after her" Seung-Heon greeted before turning around and followed Dan-Bi. He came here for her, if she leaves, he has nothing to stay for.
Outside Dan-Bi did not wait for her driver to prepare the car, she exited the mansion angrily, the driver himself did not bother to make a move since Seung-Heon already got into his car to go after her.
Dan-Bi trekked on the sidewalk while Seung-Heon drove slowly beside her beckoning for her to get in.
"Dan-Bi what happened, get in the car and don't stress your legs." Seung-Heon said caringly.
"Stop following me,...what do you want from me?" She yelled at the top of her voice.
"I came here for you, why are you angry, what happened, why did you leave the mansion angrily.?"
Dan-Bi didn't respond to him at all, she immediately put a call through to someone.
" Hi.... Where are you?, I want to see you" she spoke calmly but in a very unusual way.
"Dan-Bi, what's the matter, you sound sad, is anything wrong?" Yo-Han asked worriedly, from her voice he knew something was wrong, she never sounded like this, she is always lively and humourous.
"I am fine, where are you?"
"Well, If you say so, but you don't sound like you are doing fine,...I just finished a meeting at the Sun Hotels and I am just exiting the venue, why did you ask?"
"Wait for me, I am close by" she said as she increased her pace escaping from Seung-Heon and rushed to her knight in shining armor.
She felt the need to pour out her heart to someone and he was the first that came into her mind... She thought of going to her Nana but she doesn't want to stay a second under that roof now.
Seung-Heon was not happy that she was ignoring him, his expression darkened because he hated the fact that she called someone else just to get away from him. He was mad at whoever that person is. Still he quietly drove his car after her.
