"Danny ,what's wrong?" I asked and he seemed to snap out of his thoughts and smiled as he pointed to the man in front of us. "Mommy, I want a Daddy in a tux." Daniel squealed while pointing his finger at the man and the man turned his attention to him. I was so embarrassed that I drew him to myself and put his hand away. "Danny don't say things like that." I scolded him softly, avoiding eye contact with the man and I wondered if I should apologize until I heard a hearty laugh. "Oh so you want a Daddy in a tux as well?" He asked Daniel, his velvety voice made me stare at him in awe as his face was plastered with an unwavering smile as I watched him as he squatted down to Daniel's level.

Ailisha memutuskan untuk kembali mengikuti audisi bintang Kpop yang sedang diselenggarakan oleh beberapa agensi besar di sana. Sudah cukup lama ia tak kembali berkompetisi seperti itu. Terakhir kali Ailisha mengikuti audisi adalah ketika dirinya masih duduk di kelas 2 SMA, sementara saat ini statusnya sudah menjadi mahasiswa seni musik di salah satu kampus swasta yang ada di Indonesia. Itu sudah lama sekali sejak ia mencoba peruntungannya yang terakhir. Sudah bisa ditebak jika gadis itu tak pernah lolos audisi sama sekali. Karena kalian masih bisa mendapatinya di Indonesia. Tanpa sengaja Ailisha mendengar kabar jika ada agensi baru yang namanya sudah cukup popular saat ini. Rumor mengatakan jika agensi itu milik dari seorang pria non Korea. Meski baru berdiri, agensi ini sudah cukup kuat untuk menyaingi agensi besar lainnya yang tak kalah hebat. Sampai saat ini belum ada satupun media yang merilis profil pemilik serta pengelola agensi tersebut. Ailisha berusaha untuk memberanikan dirinya sendiri. Pada akhirnya ia kembali mencoba peruntungannya di agensi lain. SAN Entertainment adalah salah satu dari sekian banyak agensi yang coba ia lamar. Kali ini dewi fortuna sedang berpihak kepadanya dan membiarkannya lolos hingga ke tahap akhir. Awalnya ia sempat keliru, karena sejauh yang ia ingat sampai saat ini adalah dirinya melamar posisi penari. Namun pada saat proses wawancara berlangsung, kotak keterangan yang berada di formulir menunjukkan jika dirinya terpilih sebagai seorang penulis lirik. Rasa kecewa wajar timbul pada saat itu, namun tak berlangsung lama karena Ailisha adalah tipe orang yang cepat melupakan. Ia memilih untuk tak ambil pusing soal hal itu. Yang terpenting baginya saat ini adalah karirnya. Hingga dirinya terjebak pada satu situasi yang tak pernah bisa ia lupakan sedetikpun kejadiannya. Semua rasa penasarannya saat ini terjawab sudah tanpa sengaja. Pusaran waktu membawanya kembali pada pria itu. Tak ada yang pernah menduga jika hal ini akan terjadi.
