For the next few days, Jiwon and Mirae saw very little of each other. Both of them were not on talking terms. Jiwon was struggling to find the words to confess his feelings to her but Mirae remained distant from him. His heart ached to talk to her, touch her and embrace her. But he could find the courage to do so.
I'm turning into a high school kid, he thought warily.
Mirae, on the other hand, struggled with her own feelings. She waited for Jiwon to tell her what their relationship meant to him. She wanted him to confess all his secrets to her and assure her that he truly cares for her. But she, too, lacked the courage to confront him.
Most importantly, she wanted the truth about her parents. She was scared to ask him. What if she were mistaken? What if the insurance company was mistaken? These thoughts revolved around her head. She must find out the truth somehow.
There was no other way. She had to use her last resort.
