Ziko had spotted the couple in front of their apartment building. Quietly, he slid behind a pole, hiding in the darkness. Unbeknownst to him, Mirae had spotted him.
"I aborted the baby!" he heard the girl lie. Ziko frowned. Why did she lie? To stop Kwon Jiwon from pursuing them?
"The girl is smart," he grinned.
"What did you say?" Jiwon held her shoulders and shook her violently. "Mirae, what's wrong with you? Why are you saying-"
"I aborted it," she lied flatly. "I didn't want it anymore."
Jiwon could not believe her words. It was impossible. She said she wanted the baby.
"Let's go inside and talk," he said shortly. He grabbed her hand and dragged her upstairs. From the corner of her eye, she saw Ziko was still standing behind the pole.
I must keep up with this lie, she decided. As long as Ziko is around, I can't tell the truth to Jiwon. Otherwise…
Cherry's words echoed in her head. "He is destined to die tonight…"
