That evening, after all the classes were over, Jung Iseul another elder cousin of Heilin went home to collect some things he needed, that happened like once in a blue moon since he mostly stay in the dorm. As he casually strode in the mansion, he wasn't expecting to see a girl in the sitting room seated alongside their grandparents seeming to be in an important discussions.
In the mansion five families live as a joint family. Their grandparents, their eldest son Jung Hun; his wife and three children ( Jung Gieun, Jung Korain, Jung Iseul). Second eldest son Jung Seungho his wife and four children ( Jung Sanghyuk, Jung Young, Jung Ji & Areum who were twins). Third son Jung Chansook and his two children (Jung Chengmin and Wu Heilin). Their youngest daughter Jung Eunmi and her little son Jung Jaehyuk.
Overall there were six young guys living in the mansion, currently two of them were abroad so that leaves four of the guys.
That being the reason why he assumed that the girl sitting with their grandparents was one of the brother's girlfriend.
He was about to walk straight towards the elevator when he was abruptly stopped by the familiar face of the girl. She was no doubt Wu Heilin. He can never mistook her for anyone, for Iseul, Heilin was his accidental first and only crush till date, his indirect lifesaver.
Iseul was just 20 years of age when he went to Shanghai without his parents permission for a vacation with his friends. However he was caught up in a scandal and his picture with some girls was on a tabloid. His mother was extremely displeased about his actions and hunt him down in Shanghai. His mother slapped him hard on his face on his hotel suite which made him recklessly ran away from his hotel suite.
He was angry because they were just having fun doing nothing unethical or illegal, it was just that the camera had perfect angle for juicy gossips. Some girls did approached him, but all he did was just ignoring them or pushing them away. He was mad that his mother gave him no time for explanation and instead believed what the media says.
Since he ran out without money, cards or phone all he could was go to one of his brother; Korain's top notch bar. He was immediately given a free entry in a VIP cabin and absolutely no girls, no high alcohol content drinks and to not let him sneak out before he was taken back, a strict order from his brother.
He just went out from his cabin to go to the washroom when he get to witness the most beautiful girl he had ever seen alive, and the damsel seem to have some issues with a middle aged man. She was wearing a dark blue mommy jeans with a half neck black body fit top with a white sneaker, definitely not the type of girls who worked in a bar or who would frequently visit bars.
She was violently rushing out from one of the VIP cabin with an extremely red and puffed eyes but nowhere near crying. When she reached Iseul's side who was facing them , the old man strode towards her and shouted with no shame, " Don't come back running at me. This is your last chance Ms. Wu ". At that she firmly halted her steps, swiftly took a knife from the fruit tray carried by a waiter passing by and threw it at him in lightning speed, perfectly blazing the old man's ear tip making a tinge of blood seep out from it, stabbing stiff at the last door of the floor behind them.
The old man was filled with terror thinking that the young girl was thinking of murdering him.
" Mr.. ; I make music. I don't sell my body for filthy money" she gritted out loud and clear which made him lose all face from the few audiences. " I was just looking for a business partner equally passionate about music. It is you .. who lose your chance " she calmly continued and after she was done, she turned and left without looking back even for once.
Iseul was at awe at what the girl just did right infront of his eyes. The whole event shook him hard and for once in his whole life was exposed to the dark and cruel side of the world, for once he felt so small about his whole silver spooned life. Here an unknown girl who seem so fragile was standing square to protect her dignity while trying to survive.

That day he had a new found respect for people who strives hard to live and was ashamed to be a second generation rich kid.
From that day he was changed, and as cliche as it sound his heart was taken by the unknown girl which he later found out to be Wu Heilin also widely called as the ' Asian Jewel'.
