Ash closed the door with his feet as he carried Mirae into her apartment. She woke up, rubbing her eyes.
"Where are we?" she asked, blinking.
"Your house," he replied as he put her down on the couch. He took a remote control to turn on the fireplace before sitting down next to her. She yawned, snuggling against his chest as the fire danced in the fireplace.
"You wanna talk about it?" Ash asked in a quiet tone.
Mirae knew what he referred to. Her own mind was in turmoil after hearing what KJ had just said.
"He was responsible too," Ash said. "For your parents' death. What are you feeling, Mirae? Tell me."
He pulled her up, cupping her cheeks with his palms.
