The car stopped in front of Park Mansion. As the driver opened the door, Rayan stepped out of the car and heaved a deep sigh. He rolled his eyes around. There were many people wandering around. They were invited by Rayan's father. It's obvious.He glanced at his watch before entering the house. He handed his coat to the maid and then he rushed to his father's room."You should ask for permission before come in." Richard Parker glanced at Rayan when he came without permission. He was doing something on his laptop, seeing Rayan he closed the laptop.Rayan looked at his father, expressionless. "Why should I ask for your permission? Did you ever ask for my permission in any decision of my own life?" He threw a newspaper which he was holding on the table. "Explain this."Richard glanced at those papers and then looked at his son. "Isn't it true? Why do you need me to explain this?"Rayan sat on the chair in front of him and laughed with disbelief. "You planned everything from before. And wh
10 years ago...Crystal took all her clothes from the closet and put it inside her luggage. After packing her luggage, she took the diary from it. She sat on the chair and put the diary on the table, then she started writing."Tomorrow, we'll go back to Korea. It's a 5-day trip. But it seemed like 2 days. We enjoyed many things. Like in the Seine river cruise, Disney land, Notre-Dame.The Seine river cruise was the most enjoyable. We enjoyed the unique views over Paris on the Seine River Cruise and pass under top attractions from the Orsay Museum, Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral. It was great. I hope Rayan enjoyed it too. I was sitting next to him, he held my hands and said it's cold.."(Rayan turned to Crystal who was sitting next to him. Her hair was playing in the air, she was smiling. Rayan pressed his hand on his chest and tried to breathe. Then he glanced at her hands. He smiled softly and held her hand. Before Crystal could ask any questions, Rayan looked at her. "It's col
After talking with Rayan's father, Mr Joon went to the makeup & spa room of Lee Mansion. He guessed something weird. Rayan told him to go there. It's strange. Except for Rayan's Mother and Sister, no one usually goes there.He opened the door of the room and almost jumped. "Oh, My God." He pressed his palm on his chest. "Ah! Rayan! What is that on your face?" He said frighteningly.Mr Joon blinked his eyes and walked closer to him. Rayan was sitting on the rolling chair, his head was on the headrest. There was something red on his face and two pieces of cucumber were placed on his eyes.Rayan took one hand on his eyes to take off the cucumber's piece from his eyes. He sneered and turned to the makeup artist and beautician. "It's called tomato face pack, right?"As they nodded, Rayan looked at Mr Joon. "Tomato is a great de-tanning agent for your skin. It has skin bleaching properties which will give you rosy glow in return."Mr Joon clenched his jaw and tilted his head confusedly. What
It was 10 o'clock, the night was so dark and cold. The road was soaked with rain and glittered under the street-lamps, like a lake reflecting strings of lights. A bitter wind, heavy with icy shivers, bruised at Rayan's face. Even the rousing sound-producing by the swollen waves crashing into the piers of the bridges below couldn't disturb Rayan's messed up mind.Under the bare sky, Rayan inhaled in the smell of tears and whiskey. Slowly his grip on the railing loosened, he took a step backwards and started drinking whiskey.After finishing the whole bottle in one sip, he threw the bottle on the street. He noticed how the glass broke like his heart He bowed his head to one side, closing lashes weighed down to keep out the salty sting.Nick slapped his hand on his right hand, trying to smash the mosquito. "I think all my blood will be sucked dry by mosquitoes." When he killed the mosquito, he turned to John. "I'll be a master mosquito
A few days later at Seoul National Medical University Hospital..."Doctor."Crystal turned to the patient when the patient called her. "Yes." She said softly."You're forgetting to take your phone." The patient showed her the phone on the bed.Crystal exhaled a deep breath and took the phone. "Thank you." She smiled at him weakly and continued checking on other patients. She was in her evening round.The nurse gave her the x-ray report. Crystal took it and scanned the report. Then she smiled at the patient. "Good news is the tumour has gone. But you will continue to see me for regular follow-up visits and tests every few months. Even though the tumour has disappeared, it is important to monitor your body for signs of recurrence. Tumours that come back may pose serious problems so it is important to detect them early."She then wrote a prescription and gave it to the nurse. "Explain
7 years ago..."Dad... I don't want to go to Canada."Richard Parker stopped reading the newspaper and looked at Rayan who was standing in front of him. "What?" As if he didn't hear it."I said I don't want to go to Canada. I'm doing fine here. The education facilities are not bad here. There wasn't a day when I did something against your will. Today is the first. So please don't send me there." Rayan took a lot of courage to come in front of him and to say this.That's true he always did that his father wanted him to do. Now he wanted to send him to Canada and study there. But no, he can't. He can't even think a day without seeing Crystal's face."That's why I'm quite shocked. This the first time you're trying to do something against my will. Why don't you want to go there?" Richard asked with a calm expression. And Rayan knew it's scariest.He knew his father will try hard to send
Rayan threw the papers on the floor angrily. "How can my father accept such useless employees? I told you to finish it today. And you are saying you just finished the half." He shouted at the employee and slam his fist on the table as his face hardened."Leave with those damn papers." He averted his gaze from him and took his phone from the table which was vibrating. He took a glance at the phone screen and reject the call. It's Somin again. He wasn't in a mood to talk with anyone now. These days he was just busy thinking about things. And whenever he thinks about those things, his mood just turned into the worst.He massaged his temple and then put his hands on the table, burying his face. The last time when he was with his friends, they confused him more.Rayan glanced up at the clock before taking his phone and dialling a number. "Mr Joon. I need your help again. Please come to my office."After hanging up the ph
Anne's face looked like she's going to cry out soon. She was afraid of her mother's arrival, she'll come home soon. She usually came home at this time. She is going to freak out if she comes now and sees them.Anne rested her chin on her hands and sighed looking at the guys in front of her. "uncle. Who are you?" She asked one of the guys."Me? I'm Nick. I'm Rayan's best friends." Nick introduced himself and then turned his head to Rayan who was sitting beside him. "And he is Rayan.""I know him. Why are you here uncle?" Anne looked at Rayan who was scanning the whole room. Like he was trying to find out a great treasure, or he was investigating a case here.Rayan stopped rolling his eyes around and smiled at Anne. "I'm here because I wasn't feeling good. Anne, you don't have any photo with your father and mother together?" He scanned every corner of the room, there were so many photos of her hanging on the wall, every photo is with Crystal.Anne tried to move her gaze from him, but she
