“Yenny??”

Hearing her name from the one who just spoke, she is sure that the voice is not Dave’s. In a rush, she opened her eyes. No more Dave standing next to her. He’s gone.

“Hello? Ms. Yenny Collins??”

Her racing heart just a while ago is now filled with uneasiness. She took a deep breath and released it. Then she turned around.

Standing before her is Chris displaying a puzzled look on his face. “What are you doing here??? I thought you’re not gonna come??”

Yenny faked a smile. “I finished my exam earlier than expected, so I came here since I don’t have anything to do for the rest of the day.”

“Really??”

She nodded without looking at Chris.

‘She’s not telling the truth.’ The guy thought to himself because he could tell that Yenny’s been avoiding meeting eyes with him.

“If you really intended to attend the grand opening of Venere, you would have called Serin or me to inform that you’re coming.”

She cleared her throat. “Well.. I didn’t inform you guys because I wanted

    Teary-eyed, Serin looked at Glenn. “That mountain must be meaningful to me.” “I’m glad you decided to establish Venere. Having your art gallery and studio can help you get your memory back. Look at that visual background, for example. That mountain wouldn’t have appeared in your dreams if it was not part of your past. Your brain may not remember what you experienced in that place but your heart does.” Serin smiled at Glenn. “Thank you for erasing the emptiness I shouldn’t have felt to begin with. It’s the grand opening of Venere, why did I even let myself feel that way?” "Isn’t it just normal to feel empty when someone dear to you is not here on a special day like this?” ‘Damn!’ Glenn cursed in his head all of a sudden, feeling stupid for carelessly spitting out truthful yet painful words. He threw a glance at Serin. What he had just said noticeably silenced her. He feels completely bad. “I’m sorry..” “Because of what you told me?” “Yes.” “What you said is completely true.

    "Ma'am Serin.." Brian is already standing next to her. “The video will play in a minute, you need to leave the stage now.” Serin, stunned and moved by Jeremy’s unexpected presence at the event, is at a loss for words and is obviously preoccupied with deep thoughts. “Are you okay, ma’am??” She looked at Brian and absent-mindedly, she nodded at him. With haste, the guy assisted Serin as they left the stage. The beaming lights from the large-scale visual background suddenly went off. As total darkness filled the event room, the huge monitor on the stage started flashing a video showcasing the aesthetics of Venere Art Gallery & Studio from the outside to its interiors on both first and second floors. It is not only the depth of Serin’s artistic sense that resonates with the guests while watching the video but also the hard work and dedication of all the staff. Ending the video is Serin and her colleagues’ warm appreciation and gratitude to the guests in a simple but touching short

    “What the heck?! Are you serious??” “I was just joking but you took it seriously.” Chris hissed in response to Glenn. He then chose to seal his lips. In his head, he is cursing himself for acting poorly. He thought he faked a reaction filled with disbelief to conceal his great shock. But what Glenn noticed was his seriousness. Meanwhile, Ken is just standing in silence pretending to be looking at the majestic painting of Crowus Mountain, as if he is not flustered at all. In fact, he is. Glenn asking if Serin was a sword fighter before she lost her memory also surprised him but he must not let it show. He, Chris and Francis need to do their best to act normal even though they are aware of the mind-blowing truth behind the existence of Sodon, Serin and Jeremy. “You guys must not believe in reincarnation.” Glenn spoke again. The two gave no response to avoid blurting out things they shouldn’t say. “I could be an insect in my past life. Ken could be one of those trees in that mou

    Noticing Chris walking towards him, Dave ended the phone call in a rush and turned around. But a sudden grip on his arm stopped him from opening the door of his car. He shot Chris with a sharp glare. “Take your hand off me.” Getting his hand off Dave, he stood by the door and leaned half of his body against the car. Then he plastered a visible smirk on his face. “You are here but you did not come to the event? Did Yenny scare you that much?” “What does Yenny have to do with me not attending the grand opening of Venere?” “You hate to see her, don’t you?” “Why would I hate someone who took care of me before?” “Ah, yes! I’m sorry, I forgot.” Chris smiled widely, teasing Dave. “I remember that you even drove from Horizon Town to Hopkins District just to ask me where Yenny was. I forgot that you were looking for her before.. so why would you even hate her, right??” Dave gave Chris a piercing stare. “Get off my car.” Unbothered, as if he didn’t hear anything, Chris remained leaning a

    With what Chris said, Tony Sean and Ms. Fei get a lot more excited making the smiles on their faces beam with pure bliss. As they excused themselves, Chris remained standing. Looking at the two who are walking to the car, he can’t help but feel sorry for them. They are completely unaware of what Dave heartlessly did to Jeremy, Yenny and especially to Leona Sean. For so many years now, they have been totally clueless that behind Dave’s innocent, quiet and gentle face hides a cruel monster. “Please drive safely.” “Yes, Sir Dave.” The driver replied. Dave then closed the door and walked back to where he parked his car. Seeing Chris still standing there, he cursed in his head. “I’m willing to give you a ride if you want.” Chris teased Dave right away as soon as he saw him coming. “I’m just worrying that you won’t be able to drive properly. Going to Venere must be making you feel terribly nervous.” Ignoring Chris, Dave opened the door. The moment he got inside the car, he drove away.

    Like a brutal stab piercing their hearts, Chris and Ken felt terribly attacked. Yenny forgiving Dave, even though they already saw this coming, is suffocating them with killing pain, fury, sadness and disappointment. “Why would you forgive him? Did he wrong you?” Chris asked, wanting to slap Yenny with the truth that Dave did not just harm her but almost killed her. “What did he do to you that you had to forgive him?” “For so many years, it was clear to me that you were Yenny’s true friend.” Dave broke his long silence and then he turned around. As he stood next to Yenny, he boldly targeted Chris with an insulting stare. “But right now.. I doubt it. If you really cared for her, you would never make her recall what I did to her in the past because it’s gonna hurt her.” Chris clenched his fists and glared at Dave. “Who are you to protect Yenny from getting hurt?? You tormented her with so much pain, didn’t you? And even though she already forgave you, you’re still the reason why she

    “W..What are you doing here, Sodon??” The old man only responded with a smile. He can’t tell Chris the reason why he suddenly showed up at Venere because of Glenn’s presence. “I’m sorry..” Chris said to the rescue. “I shouldn’t have asked what you are doing here. Obviously, you came here to congratulate Serin.” He then looked at Glenn. “Bro, he is Sodon.” Displaying a friendly smile, the guy introduced himself to the old man and then held out his hand for a handshake. As the two shook their hands, Chris discreetly released a sigh of relief. “Should we go inside now?” Glenn asked. “I’ll talk to Sodon first.” Glenn looks puzzled. “Didn’t he come here to congratulate Serin?” “Yes.. but I want to have a chat with him first, it’s been a while since we talked.” Chris had to lie. “Besides, Serin for sure is still with the guests showing them around Venere.” “See you inside then.” Glenn turned around and left the two. Chris immediately assisted the old man to the shaded bench. As the

    The guy looked Tony Sean in the eye. “Aunt Leona..” Ken’s answer instantly made the atmosphere at the waiting area completely heavy with sudden awkwardness. As silence grows, Yenny feels something stuck in her throat that she can’t even gulp. Out of her numbing uneasiness, she locked her eyes on the floor again. Ken did the same, not wanting to see Yenny who’s silently hurting him. ‘It doesn’t feel right.’ Ms. Fei thought to herself while throwing glances at Ken and Yenny. The two friends avoiding meeting each other’s eyes gives her a hunch that something wrong is going on between them. Did they fight? But over what? She could not help but wonder. “I’m sorry..” Ken broke the growing silence. “I shouldn’t have mentioned her.” “Don’t say that, Ken.” The old man replied with a smile but tears visibly formed in his eyes when he looked at Yenny. “Your friend is right. Even though Leona is no longer with us here, she will surely feel sad if she sees you struggle doing a lot of things

Events that involved Serin’s dreams suddenly reappeared in his clear memory.On the night of his 18th birthday, he found Serin on Desf Road. He heard her call him Heron and when he was about to carry him, she longingly touched his face and painfully uttered, “Heron, you’re alive. I’m glad you’re alive.” Those were the same exact words that came out from her in her sleep before Sodon vanished in the past and was brought here in this present time.Jeremy could also remember the day he and Serin had a heated confrontation just because she went out of his condo unit without telling him.

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 old man.She could not help but feel like she had already seen them before, not in her dreams but in real life.In haste, she left the bed and walked straight to the closet. As soon as she opened it, she got her black dress.Looking at the embroidered name on the back collar, she felt sudden pain.She did have a name but her identity had remained mysterious. Her memory was still completely empty.Eyes locked on her black

The pouring rain became a beautiful shower in her teary eyes.No more hesitation, Jeremy fearlessly faced her. The girl, who was standing before him, had given him unfeigned strength during his silent battles. He had yearned for her which felt like forever. Every day and every night, he had waited for this moment. If it's just a dream, he did not want to wake up. But Jeremy was not dreaming, it's real. He was looking into Serin's beautiful eyes."Welcome back. It's nice to see you again." He was floating in a surge of profound happiness.

    Five years ago."I will send you the exact address, sir." A male voice said on the other line."You have done such a great job. I will call you if I need something. Thank you." Dave ended the phone call. Nervousness began to tremble him while hurrying downstairs.Carl, the private detective that he had hired, managed to find Yenny in just four weeks.As soon as he walked past the living room, someone, who was comfortably sitting on the luxuriously-looking sofa, caught his eyes. He stopped walking. 'What is she doing here?'"Hi, Dave!" Gail greeted him. She rose up from sitting and walked to where he was standing. She was displaying her beautiful smile. "Where are you going? You must be in a rush.""What brings you here?" He asked coldly."You still have the courage to show up this house after you caused a scene here a month ago?" Jeremy showed up. He was talking about the nig

    Gail simpered. "You think you can fool me??" Gail thought that Dave was just fooling around to tease her since he already knew that she had feelings for Jeremy."What if she really likes my brother, will you do something?""I won't do anything because that's not true and that will never happen." There was certainty in her voice. "Since when did you become fond of playing jokes on someone?She let out a heavy sigh. "Driving for almost three hours now must bore you. If boredom is killing you, play some music. Stop spitting non-sense.""What will I get if I play a joke on you?" He sounded so serious while his eyes were focused on driving.Gail looked at him. How his face plastered seriousness could tell that he was no longer teasing her. That's what Gail felt but the truth was, Dave was only acting. He had to fake seriousness in his voice and expression to persuade her that he was telling the truth.
