Marilyn and Mercedes stood on a platform as the students of Goldenscale Academy made their way toward the stage. Namgoong Hyun glanced at Jake, remarking, "We're not finished yet."
Jake waved him off, saying, "Goodbye. Don't look for me again."
On the stage, Marilyn adorned the students with flower necklaces, carefully placing each one around their necks. The Goldenscale students were entranced by her beauty, especially when she stood before Namgoong Hyun. He had harbored a longtime crush on her and was particularly enchanted to see her again after a few years.
"Hi, how have you been?" Hyun inquired.
Marilyn, offering a professional smile, expertly placed a flower necklace around his neck. "Welcome to our land, Master Namgoong. I hope you enjoy your stay here," she greeted.
As Marilyn prepared to leave, Hyun called out, "Wait."
"Is something the matter, Master Namgoong?"
