"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

"Dad, try this. Yenny made this organic juice this morning. It will help you relax." Tony Sean's face lit up. The old man felt good because Dave seemed completely fine. But he had no idea that his son had been putting on an act since this afternoon for a reason. In just a few minutes, Tony Sean fell asleep. Dave put something in his drink. Since Yenny left, that box had kept bugging him. What if she got curious and opened it? He trusted her. But the thought of his mom, who had shown kindness to Yenny ever since, snatched his confidence. Paranoid, he came up with something. And that was to make his dad fall deeply asleep in case he had to confront Yenny for not doing what he had asked her to

"He actually came here to introduce his girlfriend to you." Ken responded, then he looked at Gail mockingly. "Formally." "What??" Gail suddenly felt annoyed, knowing that Serin was not actually Jeremy's girlfriend but a housemaid. And what annoyed her more was the heartbreaking scenario of Jeremy kissing Serin at Campbell Park, to think that they're not even in a romantic relationship. "Why? What's wrong with that?" Ken fueled Gail's annoyance. "Can't Jeremy introduce Serin to his friends?" Friends. That word alone was a slash in her heart, it was painful. Ken was right, she was just a friend. She and Jeremy were only friends.&nb

"Mysterious eyes?" Chris and Ken asked at the same time, flustered. "The first time I looked into her eyes, I saw flashing scenarios that were oddly familiar. But what's strange there is that I was in those scenarios. I saw myself. Even though they were flashing, I was sure that it was me. I thought I was only greatly distressed because of Dave, but I did experience it again. Remember when you talked to me regarding the new sketch she made? That night, when I met eyes with her, I saw scenarios for the second time. And.. a while ago, what I just encountered through her mysterious eyes is really agitating. Do you know why? Aside from seeing flashing scenarios, I also heard my own voice, screaming such a tormenting pain. That's the reason why I painfully screamed while confronting Serin in her room earlier." An overwhelming shock fe

Even though Dave's journal could confirm he did kill his mom, his psychological disorder could be used as an alibi, a form of defense, to get away from his serious crimes. Because of that voice recorder, Yenny listened to Dave when he had asked her to get inside. She fearlessly faced another unavoidable danger because she wanted to get her bag and escape with it. If Dave was cunning, Yenny was quick-witted. At that time, she easily came up with an effective approach. To appear vulnerable and defenseless just to trick Dave. She had to get the guy's trust again. And she did it. She was able to fool Dave with her sly pretense. Dave touched her face with fondness. "Leave early later, okay? Get my box and b
