After sharing one last kiss inside their room, Eunbin left to face her battle. The train ride back home was nerve wrecking. How was she going to break the news? How would her parents take it?

Arriving at Seonam station, her driver picked her up, informing her on the way back that her parents were currently at work but have already scheduled a family dinner that night. Going back into her old room, Eunbin immediately went to find her box, taking her ring out of the box reverently.

Unsure if it was because of work, Eunbin kept quiet as the servants brought out their dinner. Her mother made some small talk, trying to catch up on her daughter life, when her father suddenly cleared his throat. “Eunbin-ah, how are you doing with L.Joe?”
