Aside from frantically preparing for Seoul Fashion Week, Sana had an even bigger concern that should be her top priority right now. She needs to find a way so that her daughter can return to the future or fix what so calls 'Sana's life before it's too late', (according to Chun-Ja's words). Too late about what? What could possibly be so bad that Chun-Ja had to turn back in time and try to fix everything? Although Sana has asked the baby girl many times on how she can help her to return to the future, the answer always comes out exactly the same. 

"I will go back when you and daddy fell in love." Baby Chun-Ja said calmly while she was playing Uno with her mother. 

"But who is your dad? And when will I meet him?"

"I can't answer that yet!" Little Chun-Ja frowned and put down a 'Discard all' card.

 "I just want to help you ..." Sana sighed and dropped the UNO cards on her hand (because she was losing anyway). She hugged the baby girl tightly and beginning to her hair.

Chun-Ja played with her mother's slender fingers and slightly heard her calming heartbeat. The small action always makes the baby girl feels at peace. It's been a long time since she can lie in her mom's warm embrace like this. 

The baby girl's future life is not all great. Sana has always been busy with her work. She rarely stays home, and every time she does, there will surely be lots of yelling and quarrels between her and you-know-who. Chun-Ja wants mommy and that person to love each other for eternity. A sincere and enduring love just like all the princesses and princes from the fairy tales she had read. 

She doesn't want the two to argue and she doesn't want to see their tears. She especially doesn't want all those lonely nights when she has to shut her room, bury herself in a blanket, and cover her ears tightly so that she wouldn't have to hear those horrible fights. She doesn't like it when mommy pulls her suitcase out of the house and came back almost a month later. She doesn't want those evenings when there was just her and you-know-who. She doesn't want to see the sadness in the person's eyes, all the pains, and sorrow. 

In this sadness there is no past or future, just living by the moment.

Chun-Ja believes that her parent's marriage's problem must have originated from their past. If it were possible that she can stop the incident from happening, then she can finally make them realize their love. 

Thus, the whole family will be happy together. Forever and ever...

Sana felt that the baby girl was unusually quiet tonight. After a while, Chun-Ja started to softly cry on her chest. She was probably remembering those unpleasant memories from her life in the future. Sana sighed and began to pat the baby girl's back.

"... why are you crying like this?"

"I don't know..." 

Sana chuckled. Chun-Ja's appearance resembles Tzuyu while her personality resembles Sana. Sometimes she thinks that Chun-Ja is her and Tzuyu's child, all thanks to her wild imagination. Perhaps Tzuyu would be a wonderful mother to Chun-Ja. She would know the right things to say and how to comfort Chun-Ja in moments like this. But who is Sana kidding anyway? There is no way Tzuyu can be Chun-Ja's other mommy.

No way in hell.

"Don't cry. I promise I will help you go back to the future." 

"Then you will have to open your heart. Be ready to fall in love again!"

"Okay. I'll figure this out. You want me to go on dates, right?" 

Little Chun raised her head to look as Sana excitedly searching for something on her phone. The baby girl wasn't sure that her mom understood what she meant. 

"Even though I am busy preparing for fashion week, I will still try to put myself out there. Go back to the dating field, let people get to know me, and find the one. You know, before you came, I had a pretty bad history of dating and playing around. I honestly don't believe in real love,..."

"W-what?" Baby Chun was surprised at her mother's words. Moreover, why is she actively swiping left and right on Tinder right now?

"Don't be so surprised! At a younger age, I didn't care much for my career and just wanted to play around with other people's feelings. They called me Sanaconda, the player, the flirt or stuff like that..! It was kinda funny, looking back from now."

Sana shook her head as she remembered her 'player' past. Even if there are billions of dollars given to her, she would not go back to that person.

"No, you can't be a player mommy!!!" Little Chun winced and hit mommy's shoulder. 

Sana glared at her. "Hey, those were all in the past! You know the type of world I live in-" 

"The Fashion World." 

"Right. Appearance and reputation are what people are after. This is the moment mommy can show to the world where her true worth lies. Turn out, there is no time for me to worry about love. I have been avoiding any kind of romantic scenario or relationship for the past 3 years. I need to make a name for myself first. I am not ready to enter a serious relationship because I will not be able to give that person all of me. Eventually, I will hurt them... and I just don't want to hurt anyone."

"But..." Chun-Ja already felt sad.

Sana smiled and patted her head, "Nothing is more important than my career ... except for you Chun-Ja ah. So I will be more serious about finding love. If it's for you, I will try."

Saying that Sana hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead. Chun-Ja doesn't understand much about what her mother just explained. In her innocence, child-like mind, love beats everything. What could be more important than love? What are money and fame if you cannot find your true partner? 

Could it be that Sana's priorities lie like this:

1. Herself 

2. Family. 

3. Career. 

4. Reputation. 

5. Love? 

Or perhaps Chun-Ja is just too young to fully understand the situation.

After talking to Chun-Ja, Sana has decided to get back into the dating field and focus on finding 'the one'. Now that she had finished the most stressful period in the process of completing her collection, she will have more free time to go on dates. 

It took four months of hard work with her design team and Chou Tzuyu until they finally completed a total of 64 outfits for their collection. The collection brings a fussy and unique style, her people had worked hard to attach unique accessories to each outfit so that it could bring out the Kinetic style. When looking at these distinctive outfits, people may say that they feel mesmerized and attracted to its versatility. Sana hopes that her collection has a form of emotional clarity to become a beautiful message for the subconscious brain. It was a message of elevated hope, of cherishing the human form, of saying we are worthy of living our dreams together in a cohesive and emboldened society.

Chou Tzuyu has helped Sana a lot during these times. They have been growing closer and gradually opened themselves to one another. Now she can even think of Tzuyu as... a friend? Thinking about it made Sana feels strange and she shivered knowing that Tzuyu belongs to her life from now on. After all, being with Tzuyu isn't all bad. Considered acceptable. 

3 months to go until Seoul Fashion Week. It's time for the company to select the models that will be appearing on their catwalk and hire a photographer and an advertising specialist to help bring their collection to the world. However, the company still has to wait for a callback from SFW. They are reviewing Sana's collection to see if it matches their image. This last stage is important because there is still time to correct if a mistake is found in the collection. Sana would never forgive herself if she let a rudimentary collection ruin her company's reputation.

Putting Seoul Fashion Week's business aside, right now Sana is sitting with Mark and Nayeon. She had asked them to introduce her to some dating-potentials. Mark and Nayeon are both social butterflies so they can get info of all of the hottest bachelorettes/bachelors in the industry. And they were more than happy to help Sana. 

"Here's my list. They are the dandiest male photographers, male models, producers, and CEOs!" Mark said confidently, presenting a list of attractive single guys to Sana. 

Chun-Ja was annoyed to hear about this. As expected of mommy Sana. She didn't understand what Chun-Ja meant at all! 

Sana picked up the list, scanned through it, then raised her eyebrows and asked, "How many people in here are straight?" 

Mark frowned at Sana's question. He hastily grabbed the list and scribbled on it. Thus, leaving only 5 guys left. But he was still not so sure about those 5 guys. Anything can happen in the fashion world. 

"Hey, finding a straight male god in the fashion world is like finding a needle in the bottom of the sea! Can you not accept biual guys?" 

Sana shrugged. "I'm just into straight guys. That's all."

"But you are biual too!" Mark argued.

Sana blushes and hastily covered Chun-Ja's ears. She felt that the baby girl is still too young to know about human ual orientation. 

"There is a kid here!" She hissed.
