The 2nd break's bell ringing , everyone heading to the cafetaria. Including Joohee. "Sit alone ? Are you not lonely ?" Myungsoo come by to her desk. "I'm used to be alone in US , it's okay" Joohee said while keep eating her food. "Not many people can sit with me like this , aren't you grateful ?" Myungsoo laugh a little , "Uh-oh , yeah ....

Myungsoo said while keep eating too. "Ah , geurae ... You're lucky , you know" Joohee said , seeing the sadness of losing in her eyes Myungsoo try to change the topic. After that the bell ringing again. "I'll go first" she said and coldly walking to the class.

"Agassi , where are we going first ?" her driver ask her , Joohee keep quiet and staring coldly like she always do. "Agassi ?" the driver ask again. "Let me visit my parents first" she said and the driver nodding , arrived near a river Joohee get out from the car. She turn around.

"I need a time for myself , please just go" she said , "Leave this car , I'll drive alone" she said again. "But , agassi--" , "I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE !!" she yelling at them. Without talk about anything , 4 cars that accompany her leave along with the driver. She walk to her parents cemetery , standing infront of it alone. She then remember how her father teach her to be a leader , a president of the company.

FLASHBACK

"Joohee , you must stand tall like this ! No matter how hard or lonely you are , you can't fall ! You understand what appa said ?" Mr.Kang said while make Joohee standing straight. Her mom looking at her with full of love , her father makes her learn about business and management , stock , share holders , everything and everyone about business that even not everyone know.

"Joo-ah , later , if there's no more us in this world , you must can rule this company. Even though you're alone,okay ?" her mom comb her hair slowly. "In this world , you can't trust anyone. The people you can trust are only the people wh know you since a little" her father assure her. Little Joohee just nodding her head and smiling at them. "After this , we can leave you like this , calmly" her mother and father smiling at her.

END OF FLASHBACK

When kids at her age should be playing barbie or listening to their favorite idol's song , Joohee learning about business world , marketing strategy , and management. At first she didn't know why her father made her learn that , but when she lost them. She know what her parents mean , she know their purpose to made her learn that things. When she was leaved behind , her cold , dark , harsh , and mean personality made up by herself. Not by anyone , but herself. She protect herself an all the effort her parents put to made Empire being the biggest and strongest , the most influenced one.

She throw all her toys since her parents' death , she replaced everything with business files. Yura , the one who accompany her since baby until now , the one who being her only right-hand. The one who take every decision for Empire since Joohee 12 until she was 14. Arrogant and rude , you can say that now. No one remember how cute and bright she was when a little. Behind that mask , she was a childish one , the one who actually didn't want to be left behind.

"Eomma , appa , bogoshipeo ..." she said with low voice. "It's sad eomma,appa. I'm leaved behind here alone , But I remember what appa said. We can’t turn things back to how it was before. Majayo ? (Right ?)" she said , "Galkkeyo ... Nahonja (I'll go , alone) Eomma , appa , dasi mannayo (see you later)" she said and leave. Walking to the car alone , her phone ringing. "Joo-ah , eodi ?" Yura ask her , "In my parents' cemetery , I'll come soon unnie" she said and hang up quickly. Didn't give any chance for Yura to talk.

She just got her drive lincense yesterday , just like how she got in US before that. She staring blankly while driving. Suddenly a car stop and other car slams that car,pileup happen. "Ah !" Johee shock and slam the wheel until her car crash into the roadblock. Black out.
