"That's our dad! Cool, isn't he?"Their dad continued talking to the audience."We all go through empty nights and days in our lives when we think that no one's there for us.

Chapter: Chapter 23Kian glared at her in disbelief. "That book.""Ah-- y..yeah.." A fake laughter from Mina.She wanted to slap her face for that foolishness. And because her tutor's strong presence beside her was making her feel so nervous, she put down the book and locked her phone."Teacher.. what you're thinking is not right, okay?""Why? What am I thinking then?" Kian didn't take his eyes off her.Mina tried hard to look calm but her eyes could not lie, they're avoiding her tutor's. "That.. I was trying to take a photo of you?""That came from you." Kian responded."Because you asked me!"Mina's raised voice startled those students who were near their table, eyes threw glances at them.Kian gave her a warning stare. Mina lowered her head and apologized to her tutor.Kian leaned his head a bit and whispered. "TMI. I have keen eyes. I may not be looking at you but I know w

Chapter: Chapter 22Before handing the book to Mina, Kian unnoticeably put a tiny tracker inside the hardbound back cover.Kian used this book not to spy her but to protect her from danger. In The Reed Bookshop, at Liang St., at Gangsil, in the abandoned building and just now in The City Square."You're surprised, aren't you?" Mina leaned forward to examine her tutor's reaction."Let's use that." Kian said calmly, as if there's nothing in the back cover.Her proud smile faded. "Good job, Mina.. You should have said that. Is giving compliments hard for you to do, teacher?"Kian took his seat and snatched the book from Mina's hand. "I'm not good in complimenting people. But I always make sure to make up for it."A sudden change on her face, it's glowing again. "So, to make up for not complimenting me for always bringing that book, give me a reward."She leaned more to give her tutor a very intent look, her eyes

Chapter: Chapter 21"Miss, one more please!""What a beautiful voice!""Your song is healing."Mina could hear praises. 'Oh no! Did they hear me sing? Was it too loud? All I know is I sang quietly.'In front of her were a few people who just heard Mina's sweet voice. Some were sitting on the grass, some were standing.'Are they waiting for me to sing again?' She was flustered.Mina forced a smile. "Umm, I actually don--""Can you sing again, miss?" One guy requested.Because the crowd kept asking her to sing again, Mina decided to play one more song."Hey!!!" An old man shouted as he's walking to where Mina was.She looked at him, confused. She put down her guitar and asked him why."Let's go to the community service center." He told Mina, looking so serious."Community service center?" Mina was still confused."Miss. Don't you know that buskers ar

Chapter: Chapter 20Wednesday, Thursday and Friday just passed. Kian never showed up on these days. According to Ms. Kim, he asked for a few days leave due to his school work which he needed to finish.'Did he really finish his school work? Or his side job as a gangster? Here I am again, thinking weird things about him. Whatever it is, it's his life. I should mind mine.' Mina thought.The bus stopped, she got off.'I feel great!' Mina's heart was jumping in delight while walking to one of her favorite places.The weather was nice. But it felt nicer that she brought her guitar.It's still early but The City Square was already full of people. The arc that welcomed her to the town center was beautifully decorated with colorful spring flowers. Small fountains along the center made this place a lot cooler as their mists mingled with the spring air.Fancy shops were scattered everywhere. Food stalls were at every corner of the town

When they clashed for the first time, while her

That voice, he knew it.That was him, the old man whom he ran into Campbell Park across Tiffany Blue the night when odd occurrences terribly knocked him with shocking terror and absurd affliction. That was nine years ago but Jeremy could still remember him as clear as day. But that was not the first and last time their paths crossed.Five years ago, that old man suddenly showed up on Desf Road and gave him the black silk thread bracelet. And even until now, how that old man quickly disppeared before his sight on that endless and empty road still bothered him.When that old man called him Heron from the other line, for the first time in so many years, that name began to haunt him again.

Her memory was still completely empty.Eyes locked on her black
