Jeremy isn't home yet. And like how the night goes, Serin's worry for him is growing deeper.
She has been waiting for Jeremy by the window in the living room.
There may have been silent distance between them, that has caused them great emptiness, but Serin is still thinking about him.
'He is not okay.' She is terribly worried.
Earlier, while she was getting some air on the balcony of her room, she unintentionally saw Gail confront Jeremy.
The sadness in his eyes and the pain in his fury have been breaking her heart. She knows how deeply hurt Jeremy is.
Even
Walking to where Dave is, Jeremy suddenly stopped. He can't hurt him. He hates himself for that. He made a step back, still with his clenched fists. Suppressing his tears, he spoke. "All these years, you've been thinking like that? You don't know how much pain I have to endure every time I see you." "Let's end this show. We've been fooling dad for so long." For some reason, Dave could not confront his younger brother in the eye. There's uneasiness in him. "You're the only one who is fooling him. The moment I decided to keep that promise to hold on to you, I meant it even though I knew from the start that it would never be easy."
"That's not the face I was expecting to see." Dave is standing in front of Jeremy's unit. And it greatly surprised Chris who is behind the door. Never in his imagination that Dave would visit Jeremy. "Is this how you treat your best friend's older brother?" There is a sharp smile on Dave's face. Chris apologized and opened the door for him. Dave entered. 'How can Jeremy put up with him? He's so annoying.' Chris thought to himself while walking to the kitchen. Dave sat on the couch and began to wander his eyes. "My brother is so lucky. He gets to live a luxurious life." 'Brot
Dave walked to his dad, smiling. "I'm looking for Yenny dad, so I can personally thank her for taking good care of me before." Tony Sean smiled at his son. "If you already find her, tell me, okay? I want to see her again." "I will, dad." There's uneasiness in him but he won't let it show. "By the way, are you busy?" Dave concealed his disturbed self by faking a light smile. "No, dad. Why?" Orange Bay. Tony Sean asked his son to take him to this fishing campsite in Marionne City. It's getting dark but the place becomes more beautiful.
"I thought you already gave up looking for Yenny?" Chris asked. They are in a cozy rooftop bar in Caze Hotel near Tiffany Blue. Ken, who is quietly sitting beside Jeremy, shows no expression on his face. Not because what Jeremy just said didn't interest him at all, he is just unable to speak. Because in the first place, he and Chris know where Yenny has been staying all this time. He observes Jeremy in silence. If Chris has been troubled the entire day, Jeremy looks even more distressed. "Dave will do anything to find her." Jeremy's eyes are locked on the icy beer bottle as he slides down his fingers on it. Chris could not
Going upstairs, Leona felt excited. It would be a lot more fun to decorate Jeremy's cake with Dave, she thought. His eldest son had helped her in the kitchen the entire afternoon. She did not ask Dave to help her because she was sure that driving their house helpers and drivers to Farel Town had exhausted him. But Dave still insisted on helping for two reasons. It was for his younger brother. He also wanted to put effort in preparing for the surprise dinner because it was Jeremy's birthday. And it was for his mom, too. It's definitely because he didn't want her to get tired. A while ago, when they were done cooking, she let Dave rest in his room because, for sure, he was really tired, not only fr
Dave's cruel words did not frighten Leona. She kneeled on the floor again, devastatingly begging. “What do you think you’re doing?? You are Leona Sean!! You should not kneel before a loser like me!!” “I’m your mom, Dave. Please.. I’m begging you.. please, son.. you’re crushing my heart.” Rushing guilt should have moved him, but it never did. His burning eyes could only see his mom's wretched state as an annoying sore. Dave gave his mom a furious glare. “This is me, mom!! I’m a loser. I am not like you.. I am not like dad.. I am not like Jeremy.. This is me! The real me!!! Why??? Are you ashamed of me?? Am I disgusting you to the core??? You and dad always tell me and Jeremy that we should live ou
Jeremy just nodded with such a gloomy pain in his eyes. He never revealed what he had witnessed to his dad, enduring the agonizing torment, because that was his mom's last wish. His dad gave him a wretched look. "But--" "It's okay, dad. That's mom's. I want to treasure everything about her, even t..that l..letter." Tony gave his son a smile filled with overflowing sadness. After handing the suicide letter to Jeremy, the prosecutor excused himself and left the two. In his cold hand was a fake suicide letter. 'I'm sorry mom, I am really sorry..' Jeremy kept saying in his head. He was terribly crushed inside.
"You've been protecting Dave at all costs because that's what your mom had asked you. I'm sorry to say this, but you know what? Aunt Leona is not happy where she is right now." Chris already let out his frustration. Jeremy's deep guilt is frustrating Chris. His best friend does not deserve to miserably suffer because he has always been a good son and brother all this time. After drinking another shot, Ken wiped his wet lips. "I'm sure you know what Chris meant. Do you think Aunt Leona is happy despite your selflessly genuine effort to fulfill that fucking responsibility? Look at you, you are a lot more wrecked than Dave. You're not the one who committed that insane.." Murder. That word alone would definitely hurt Jeremy. Ken had to swallow his anger, so he
