A moment of silence then Chris flashed a joyful smile. “We’re on cloud nine now because..” He paused, voice almost cracked. He can’t help but feel overly emotional. “Jeremy is back to his old self again, our best friend who would always go along with our craziness.”

Hearing such good news, Serin got choked up. That simple “it’s a deal” from Jeremy means so much to his best friends. Why wouldn’t it be? It clearly tells them that Jeremy is really back to being the person they used to know, the Jeremy who would say yes to their weird and crazy ideas.

“Back then when we were still young, Jeremy was like Chris. He was really good at joking around and..” Ken suppressed a smile. “Teasing and annoying Yenny..”

Serin chuckled, picturing the young Jeremy in her mind.

“Enough of embarrassing me. You guys just ruined my image.”

“Woah, bro! You’re really back to yourself!!! I love you!!” Chris, floating in extreme happiness because Jeremy jokingly spoke, hugged him very tightly.

    “Transcending time??” Serin paused in great surprise, flustered by the slip of her tongue. But she quickly faked an embarrassed face. “Actually it’s not transcending time.. I should have said, in his new life, from being born as Heron Arth to becoming Jeremy Sean.” “Ah, so that’s what you were supposed to say..” Yenny suddenly chuckled. “It’s just funny what ran through my mind a while ago. I thought Jeremy really transcended time, like what happens in fantasy dramas or movies.” “Is someone transcending time funny?” It’s Jeremy. There’s seriousness in his voice. “It’s not only funny but totally absurd.” “What if it happens for real?” Yenny hissed in response to Jeremy’s ridiculous assumption. “So.. you’re trying to say that you somehow believe in those kinds of things?? Like someone can really go back to their past or from there to the present time?” Without hesitation, Jeremy confidently nodded. “You do?? Seriously??” “Why?? Can’t I?” “But you are someone who never bel

    Dave, after exhaling and inhaling to release his nervousness, ran his fingers through his hair and fixed his clothes in the side mirror of his car then pretended to walk confidently towards the open area outside Venere. “Ma’am..” Hana excitedly stood beside Serin. “Mr. Dave Sean is here.” All eyes quickly moved to where Hana pointed at. Dave’s unexpected appearance completely delighted and astonished Serin’s colleagues but not Jeremy and his best friends. His presence is nothing but a total mood wrecker. As their expressions darkened, they discreetly exchanged glances with annoyance. While Jeremy is sure that Serin was the one who invited Dave to come over, Chris and Ken are not sure about it because it is also possible that it was Yenny who did it. “Did you also invite him here?” Brian asked Serin. “Or Sir Jeremy did?” Chris unknowingly hissed. “Jeremy is still in the right mind, he would never do that..” He uttered the truth audibly that made everyone look at him with confusion

    Ken looked deep into her eyes. “If I didn’t ask you such a stupid question, you wouldn’t have brought up the past.” Serin paused for a while but eventually fell into complete silence, unable to reply to Ken’s heartfelt apology because his sincerity only made her feel more uncomfortable. And also, she could not form her thoughts into words, worried that she might give hunch to her colleagues that Jeremy and his best friends are no longer close with Dave and that there’s bad blood between the two brothers, which has never been known by the public or even by their own family. “Bringing up the past filled with good memories is not to be sorry for.” It’s Dave, displaying an emotional expression on his face. “But burying those good memories because of hate towards someone, as if those memories never made you happy, is something to be sorry for.” A visible smirk crossed Chris’ face. “What if it was not simple hate? That the hate you were talking about is rooted from the devastating pain

    As Chris suddenly showed up with a bomb that he almost dropped, Dave should have felt agitated. But instead of agitation and uneasiness, terrible pain drowned him. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Shouldn’t you reveal that truth to Serin, so she will completely understand why we, especially Jeremy, can’t forgive you?” “It’s okay, Chris..” Serin held the guy on his arm then gave him a pleading look. “I’m sure I will know about it at the right time.. when Dave already has the courage to tell me everything.” “Should I tell you now?” Dave asked Serin. “Go on. Now. In front of me.” Chris stood closer before Dave. “Or better, in front of Jeremy. Shall I call him?” “Guys, please..” Serin got in between the two. “I invited all of you here not for you to confront each other like this. Can’t you just forget that hate in your hearts for now? Just for now, please..” “I’m sorry..” Dave lowered his head and sighed heavily. “Chris..” He uttered the guy’s name with so much sadness in his voic

    "You keep disappointing us, Yenny." Chris suddenly showed up. Francis, since he didn't get farther yet, got intrigued by what he clearly heard from Chris. He paused and stood on the stairs without making any noise. "I'll hang up now." Yenny ended the call right away and was about to leave without looking at Chris when the guy stood before her. "What?" She asked, annoyance in her voice. “When did you exchange numbers? Yesterday? When you told him that you have already forgiven him? That fast? Wow!” Chris clapped with insulting sarcasm then gave Yenny a frustrated stare. “If you were Jeremy, what would you feel?” Yenny, teary-eyed, faced Chris a lot closer. “And you? If you were Aunt Leona, would you still hate me?” “It’s not hate that we feel towards you, it’s disappointment.” “Sooner, that disappointment will grow to hate.” “And you will let us hate you? Does that mean you will keep doing what will surely hurt us?” “Because that’s what Aunt Leona wants.” “To hurt us? Esp

    “I’m sorry but I can’t, no.. we can’t. You know why? Because that will disappoint Aunt Leona more. Do you think she’ll really be happy if we deceive ourselves and fool her? That’s insane, Yenny. And should I remind you that Dave never asked forgiveness from Jeremy in the first place? Even just once.. So what the heck are you talking about? He has been reaching for our hands? Are you sure? Where were you when Dave had been intentionally making Jeremy suffer? You’re in Pines Village.. You were hiding there because you were afraid that monster you are trying to defend and help would surely get back at you. He is the reason why you had to live in that far place.. away from us. And you know what? Every day, we were filled with worry and fear because we could not always go there and stay by your side as much as we wanted.” Chris looked away, not wanting to hurt Yenny right to her face. “It’s easy for you to forgive Dave because you never witnessed how Dave, with his devilish intentions, torm

    “What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I lie to him?” A sigh with annoyance came out from Francis. "Didn’t I tell you this morning that there has been so much on my mind lately? Can’t I make a mistake? I forgot to make myself clear, so Sir Chris thought that it was you when in fact, it was Sam, my sister.." Sam could not believe her ears and she wouldn't buy the guy's pretense. “If it was your sister, you wouldn’t have rushed down the stairs just to tell her to answer your mom’s call. She is not here to begin with.” "Sir Chris must have really misheard me." Francis would never lose to her. "To make myself clear again.. I was trying to call my sister but because she was not answering her phone, I rushed down the stairs to go and ask you if you know her social media accounts, in case she was online on one of those." Another lie, Sam thought to herself. "Fine.. just spit whatever you want but you will never convince me. It’s too obvious that you lied to Sir Chris and because

    Flustered, Francis paused and gulped. “It’s really a hangover.” “Anyone can endure the feeling that they get after drinking too much but not the feeling that they get after learning about a shocking truth behind someone’s death.” Visible shock fell on his face, his throat felt completely dry. He made eye contact with the old man but he could not utter a word. “You are at a loss for words.” Sodon spoke again. “That means, I’m right. That sickening feeling is not from a hangover but from such a horrible revelation.” “How did you find out about it?” “Which one? Me also knowing the truth or you just learning about it?” “Both..” “Jeremy revealed everything to me before. Such a shocking truth has been kept for so long, not only by him but also by his best friends and that includes Yenny. So, even before we were introduced to each other a while ago, I’ve already been hearing her name from Jeremy and his best friends. And last night, Chris and Ken told me that Yenny greatly disappoin

    “Serin spoke in her sleep twice and during those moments, I vanished in the palace and appeared here in this present time. She must be wandering in her dreams, that’s what I am thinking right now.”Whirling emotions, Jeremy was having the same thoughts. 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. When they clashed for the first time, while her

    That phone call, in an instant, darkened his bright day. He was sure who was on the other line. 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.

    Serin suddenly woke up. That scenario in her dream was filled with strange familiarity.That mountain. That sword. That guy. Those men on horses. 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

    'I'm glad that you're finally here.. right next to me.' It was like a sweet tune to her heart. Serin flashed a warm smile. 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. Words alone could not describe what he was feeling at the moment.Serin exchanged tearful smiles with him. Her heart was also exclaiming in unexplainable delight. All those shared moments with him flashed back. From the first time their longing eyes met to the saddest day they p

    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.
