In a bathroom, a long-haired brown-haired woman stands at the sink while a short-haired woman in a dark dress faces her. Long-haired woman: “Is there something I can help you with Ms.Kang?” Short-haired woman: “There's nothing I need from you, but you however are gonna wanna stop flirting with my brother.” Long-haired woman: “Now why would I do that?” Long-haired woman: “He’s his own man, plus he doesn’t seem to mind.” Short-haired woman: “That’s because you don’t know him very well. You can’t use what you see on tv because that’s not him.” Short-haired woman: “I’m telling you if you pursue him, this will end badly for you.”

A short-haired woman in a dark blue dress stands with her arms folded while a long-haired woman in black leans toward her. Short-haired woman: “Ms.Choi, I'm letting you know for your own good. But if you refuse to take my word, you'll just have to see for yourself.” Long-haired woman: “Awwww, are you warning to stay away from your dangerous big brother?” The short-haired woman faces the long-haired woman, whose back is to the viewer. Short-haired woman: “Ms.Choi please be mindful of your choices beyond this point when it comes to my brother. My family doesn’t take it well when people go against what we say.” The long-haired woman leans over a bathroom counter and looks at her reflection in the mirror. Long-haired woman: “That b**h! Who the hell does she think she is talking to me like that.” The long-haired woman glares forward. Long-haired woman: “Alright! I'm gonna take him from you now!”

A platinum-haired woman walks down a hallway holding her phone. She says, “Ohh come on, are you sleeping?” Her phone displays an incoming call from “Mom❤️” with the options “Decline” and “Accept.” She says, “Finally, thank you.” The woman holds the phone to her ear. Mum says, “Mum are you alright? It sounds noisy?” The woman replies, “I’m not at home, my friends took me out to this new night club!” Mum says, “Night club!! Mom what are you doing?” The woman replies, “What?! I’m not drinking I’m just dancing so I won’t even be here long.” Mum says, “You shouldn’t be there at all.”
