Chris' questions totally flustered him but he didn't let it show.
"Carol must have told you." He said, concealing his shock and uneasiness in a calm voice.
"So, who is he? How did he get to your office floor? Carol said she didn't receive any call from the front desk."
"He just showed up there? At her station?" Ken asked, puzzled.
"Yes. That's why Carol was suspecting him a lot." Chris responded.
Silence fell on Jeremy. He doesn't know what to answer. But not responding to Chris would only cause suspicion.
He cleared his throat. "I know him."
 
At that time, even though Serin had no idea who Heron was and what he looked like, her heart was convincing her that Jeremy was Heron. His eyes had the same yearning she was feeling at that moment. His presence had an overwhelming familiarity. As Jeremy gazed at her with consoling affection, her painful longing suddenly faded. How he was sharing intimacy with her was like a warm embrace filled with solace. She felt home. That was the first time she had ever felt that way since she crossed paths with him. After such a painful but beautiful moment with Jeremy, the unavoidable truth that he was Heron could no longer leave her mind. And that even became a lot clearer when Chris and Ken revealed to her that Jeremy had found a sketch of him in the pocket of her black dress.
"Those that tormented us before, let's bury them in forgetfulness. But there's one thing I would want to keep remembering. Our beautiful past. I may no longer remember who I am but I don't want our dear memories to fade in my heart. I still want to walk on that beautiful past with you. Can you take me there again?" Jeremy is totally speechless. What Serin just said is something he doesn’t want to hear, as of now. He is still clueless. He isn’t sure if helping Serin get her memory back is what he should be doing or what he must never do. One wrong move, her existence could possibly be in danger. What he needs to do is to see Sodon and talk to him again. He is certain that the old man is the only one who can help him deal with their unthinkable situation. “I am sure our past is not only filled with sad and painful stories. We would
"Why do you want to know who brought you here?" Ms. An asked, wanting to buy time while thinking of a convincing answer to his question. Even though Jeremy is completely sure that Sodon is the one who brought him to this orphanage, he still asked the old woman hoping to hear the answer directly from her. But as expected, she wouldn't tell him. She made a promise to Sodon that she would keep his identity hidden and she has been doing that for so many years now. "Because I thought of thanking that person. If I wasn't brought here, I wouldn't have become who I am now." There's sincerity in Jeremy's words and that makes Ms. An feel guilty. "But, Ms. An.." Jeremy intently looked at her. "I am sure eve
“Hey, Mr. Jeremy Sean. I came here earlier but I didn’t see you. Where were you?” “I went somewhere.” “Do you know that your response is a lot more suspicious?” Jeremy hissed. “I can tell that you are not okay and that’s because you are trying to hide something from us.” “That’s ridiculous.” Jeremy said, still fixated on what he’s doing. “Then tell me, where’s that somewhere?” Jeremy stopped reading and closed the files. He then leaned his back on his chair and released a deep sigh. “I was in Valez earlier.” &n
“Do you like this place?” “This is more than enough, Your Highness.” Sodon said politely. Jeremy could not believe his ears. He gave the old man a deep stare. “If someone hears you call me Your Highness, they will surely think you have already lost your mind. Stop addressing me that way, okay?” “But.. You are the Crown Prince of Wishire Kingdom. I must not disrespect--” “I was but I am no longer. Where are we now? Are we still in the kingdom?” There is discomfort on Sodon’s face. “When you showed up at Campbell Park, you didn’t act politely. How you talked to me
After Jeremy revealed to Sodon everything he had seen in the memory of their past the moment he confessed to Serin, the old man finally figured out what to do to help Serin exist in this transcending time without facing a tragic fate. And he has to do that in their time in the past and not here. But despite having the solution Sodon already came up with, he can no longer easily vanish here and appear in the past because the situation between Jeremy and him has already changed. If before, Serin’s expression of yearning and love for Heron is the reason for Sodon’s sudden appearance and disappearance in both transcending time, now that is not the case anymore. And that is because Jeremy already remembers who Sodon is. Having a clear memory of who they really are hinders the old man to vanish here and to be taken back to the past. "B
Flustered with the sight of her trembling hands covered with blood, she closed her eyes. And when she slowly opened them, she's back to the unknown place again. She found herself lying on the ground by the graceful river and the beds of tall reeds. There was no gloomy moon but the gleaming sunshine. No more trembling hands, no more blood. Serin was completely filled with puzzling confusion. What had been happening to her? She was totally clueless. She fearlessly stared at the sky above her, wanting to see the flashing scenarios to know what would happen next. As soon as she fixed her tearful eyes on the clear sky, like a mirror, scenarios began to flash again. But the flashing scenarios were the
Serin kept running in this endless vastness. She was sure that Heron was somewhere, devotedly waiting for her. She was driven to see the end of the flowing river and beds of tall reeds. And because her heart was filled with unyielding hope and yearning for Heron, sowly, she was taken back to the place of beautiful and painful stories. Crowus Mountain. No more second thought, Serin got on the horse and in a rush, she left the mountain while enduring the tormenting pain on her right shoulder. While her tears were dripping from her eyes, her thoughts were on Heron. She was granted this chance to save him and to change their fate. She could, she was hopeful. There on the road, trying for the second time, she found the terribly wounded Crown Prince, leaning on the big
