Pawn Shop Artinya

Menjadi figuran bukanlah impian Hana, tapi itu satu-satunya jalan yang bisa ia tempuh untuk bertahan hidup di Seoul. Di balik senyum sopannya saat bekerja paruh waktu di coffee shop dan berlatih akting di GoGo Agency, Hana menyimpan satu prinsip: jangan pernah terlalu dekat dengan bintang. Apalagi jika bintang itu adalah Han Jiwon, aktor ternama yang wajahnya menghiasi megatron dan botol soju di seantero kota. Namun, takdir justru mempertemukan mereka. Jiwon, yang awalnya hanya ingin membantu seorang figuran belajar akting, mendapati dirinya mulai menikmati kehadiran Hana—seseorang yang jujur, sederhana, dan tidak terpesona dengan popularitasnya. Sementara Jiwon mencoba mendekat dengan tulus, Hana justru mulai menjaga jarak. Ia tahu betul, berada di dekat bintang bisa membuatnya terbakar—oleh rumor, oleh harapan semu, dan oleh kenyataan bahwa dunia mereka tak pernah setara. Tapi bagaimana jika seseorang yang begitu tinggi justru ingin menunduk untuk mengenalmu lebih dekat? Dan bagaimana jika rasa itu tumbuh... meski Hana berusaha menolak?

It was midnight, and I was out at my stall when the cops took me to the station. They checked my profile and looked at me weirdly. "You're a Greatpeak graduate. What are you doing setting up shop in a bazaar?" That was odd. I went through the profile and realized that yes, while the student's ID was mine, the photo was not. I knew the guy in the photo. Josiah Ferguson. I had no idea I got accepted into Greatpeak University twenty years ago. Eventually, I was released, but I had no idea how I trudged back home. Then, I heard Hazel Quinley, my wife, talking to someone on the phone. "I won't let Michael get in your way, Josiah. Just go abroad." So that's it! It was her! My wife helped Josiah take what was supposed to be mine! I was sick. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to confront her and Josiah, but then she stabbed me in the back, and I died. "I'm sorry, Michael. I can't let you ruin Josiah's future." And then I woke up. I was taken back in time to my high school days. Our homeroom was giving out college application forms. This time, things would be different. This time, I would take back what was rightfully mine!

Melody’s family was no help either and forced her to make the most difficult decision any woman could make: to abort her child or to leave home and raise her child alone. Melody refused to have an abortion, so she was only three months pregnant when she moved in with her friend Lucy and got a job at a coffee shop to pay for doctor’s appointments and prenatal pills. That’s how she realized that it was going to be impossible for her to sustain a decent life for when her child was born. She was willing to do anything to avoid going back to her parents for help, let alone calling Richard. What neither of them imagined was that fate had an awfully bad joke for both of them, and it would show them that it is never too late to trust again.
