Once Lily heard debutante, flashes came through her mind. She first saw herself with a crown on a stage with a bright smile in a bubbly charming dress. Then, she saw a piece of paper, the writings were fuzzy but she could clearly see her name and the title: debutante bal contest entry. Finally, she heard a name : shadow lord.
With every one of her flash, a buzzing sound was echoing in her head and incredible pain could be felt in her body. At the sound shadow lord, her body couldn't take it anymore and Lily fainted in the hallway, hitting the door of the office and disturbing the brothers' serious discussion.

SongJae's expression then became nostalgic and sad. He had to let her go in the past, now she belonged to him and he would never let her leave him again. He would definitely protect her. As he was making that vow, SongJae's face was now extremely serious and somewhat scary. Even though the man was taciturn and expertly talented at maintaining a poker face, alone in this room, next to his beloved, he was unable to hide his expressions and his tenderness for her.
He wanted to lock her away so they would never be apart and couldn't resign himself to let her endure any pain, but then he knew she was a free spirit and would certainly never allow herself to only be controlled by anyone. If only he....
