Gail simpered. "You think you can fool me??"
She thinks that Dave is just fooling around to tease her because he already knows that she has feelings for Jeremy.
"What if Yenny really likes my brother, will you do something?"
"I won't do anything because that's not true and that will never happen." There is certainty in her voice.
She continued. "Since when did you become fond of playing jokes on someone?
There is no response from Dave.
She let out a heavy sigh. "Driving for almost three hours now must have been boring you. If boredom is killing you, play some music. Stop spi
"Why would I cry?" Dave looked away and then left Gail in a rush. She remains standing while watching him walk to his car. Dave has been acting strangely and this is confusing her. On the way here, he kept teasing and playing jokes on her but now he is treating her coldly. Yenny suddenly crossed her mind. 'Guilt must be troubling him.' Gail thought to herself. "Whatever!" She just shrugged her shoulders and followed Dave from behind. "Can you drive again?" Gail sighed.
"I'm sorry but I can't make it to the event. I can't leave my dad yet. He's still recovering from heart surgery." "I do understand, Mr. Sean. You don't need to be sorry. Please send my warm regards to Mr. Tony Sean." "Yes, I will." "We'll send you the pictures of the event, Mr. Sean." "Thank you, Ms. Kassy." Before his graduation a year ago, Jeremy went on a European trip alone. There, he met Ms. Kassy, the director of Paint Brush. At that time, Jeremy had been planning for his first hotel. So, he decided to travel around Europe to help him plan with great ideas.
Another two years flew by so fast but painful yearning for Jeremy has grown deeper in Serin's heart. Oftentimes, she cries in silence because her yearning heart is crying out the guy's name. Missing him so much while trying to forget him is causing her such tormenting pain. Even in the middle of the deepest nights, she usually wakes up, feeling insanely lost. Her dreams are absurd. And strangely enough, what she has been experiencing and seeing in those dreams feels really familiar. Because can strongly feel that those dreams carry significant meanings as they resonate deeply with her heart, she wants to do something. She will turn those oddly meaningful dreams into beautiful painting
Jeremy faced the overlooking view of bustling Hopkins District and the surrounding cities from his office in The Skye. He wants to clear his mind because piled up questions began to form in his head. He doesn't want to fall into disturbing agitation anymore. It has already been so long since he decided to ignore and stop trying to get clear answers to those mysteries surrounding Serin's strangely familiar identity. However, there are times that he would unnoticeably get deep in his recall of those absurd and shocking experiences with Serin in the past. And whenever he feels that distressing thoughts and feelings would seem to agitate him, he would console himself with Serin's beautiful confession
When Serin threw away her drawing journal, her black dress and the two same sketches before she left for Paris four years ago, Ms. Fei saw them. Even though the old lady wanted to ask Serin why she had thrown them away, she just kept it to herself because she knew a sure thing. Serin must have finally decided to completely forget Jeremy. But Ms. Fei didn't want Serin and Jeremy to end their beautiful love story. All this time, Ms. Fei has been aware of the unconfessed love the two have for each other. When Serin came to the mansion to be Dave's new nurse, she already felt that Serin had already seen Jeremy before that day. And that was because she clearly saw Serin's flustered reaction when the big pic
Gail looked puzzled. "How did you--" "Pines Village.. I have already been there." Serin cut Gail her in. "Before I decided to move here to Paris, I searched for a place where I could start a new life.. So, I got to know about Pines Village. If Yenny wanted to live quietly in a very far place, that neighborhood is perfect for her." Serin gulped, discreetly. She feels relieved that she came up with a good reason that easily. But Gail is giving her a scrutinizing look. "Do you think I will buy your lame answer? How you sounded can tell me that---" "I thought you're capable of doing everything just to get what you want?" Serin cute Gail in again
Dave threw Jeremy a face of empathy, wanting Jeremy to feel he is also as hurt as him. 'You're pathetic.' Jeremy spoke in his head. He cleared his throat and then buried his overwhelming shock in a gentle smile. "To someone who sent that video to surprise me on a special day like this, thank you so much. It just reminds me how mom loved me so much that even before she's gone, she made sure that she would leave me a beautiful memory.." Jeremy gave his brother a meaningful stare. "Dave.. I will never forget this." Emotional reactions instantly fill the event hall. "Wow! What a
What Chris said made Dave steam up. Instead of getting inside his car, he walked to where Chris is. His eyes are exploding in a piercing stare. "I just want to tell her something. But since you're here, you better say--" “You don’t need to say it." Chris cut Dave in. Exchanging glare with Dave, he continued. "I think I know what you want to tell her. Or should I say, you've been wanting to tell her?" Dave gulped in sudden uneasiness, he's waiting for him to speak again. "Don't play hide and seek with me. I'm good at hunting my prey." Chris gave Dave an insulting smirk. "That's what you want to tell her. Am I right?"
“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
When Jeremy began to notice that Dave had been treating him completely different from how he used to, he already knew why. Slowly getting closer to Serin, Dave had been falling for Serin. And with the fact that Jeremy was the one who found her on Desf Road and rescued her on that rainy night, Dave’s jealousy started to consume him. That was what Jeremy thought, but the painful truth was, Dave had silently hated him even before Serin came to his life.As his condition got horribly worse, Dave buried himself in a deeper state of misery. Since he fell terribly ill the day after his mom passed away, he had become miserably hopeless. He had been tortured and haunted by his own demons in his agitated mind. His own misery completely darkened his life. And the only one who could help him see even a spot of light was his younger brother.In his teenage years, Jeremy had to carry the heaviest weight on his shoulders. If it’s not for Dave, he could h
Criminal, that torturing word.The moment Dave uttered that word, his heart agonizingly broke. His confession, in an instant, took him to that gruesome and haunting night when he was nothing but a horrible monster.Year 2009, the night of his younger brother’s 14th birthday when he thought that his mom was busy in the kitchen preparing for the surprise birthday dinner for Jeremy. While he was in his room, suddenly the door opened.Dave’s body froze when he got caught using illegal drugs. With his mom’s widened eyes, both of them got completely shocked. His extreme nervousness made him throw the drugs in a rush, hands were quivering.Total gloom darkened Leona Sean’s face. Her steps towards her son got heavier. Her beautiful world fell apart.“W..Will you.. turn me in.. to the p..police.. this time?” Dave fearfully asked with his trembling voice and bloody red eyes.Leona
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. Like flashes of lightning that suddenly disturbed the tranquil dark sky, strikes of overwhelming fear started to frighten him.Jeremy sped up.
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.
