"Because…" he started. "Because I'm in love with you, Jung Mirae. And no matter how long it takes, I will fight for you. Until the very end."
Or so he wanted to say. The words played in his head but he could not utter them. The words were aching to break through his lips but he held them back. He could not muster the courage to tell them to her.
"Well?" Mirae's voice brought him back to reality. "Why did you change your mind?"
KJ took a deep breath and looked at her. "You're Ms. Sohee's daughter," he said. "I couldn't protect her but I can at least help you. For her sake."
Mirae seemed to have accepted his answer because she nodded in understanding.
"Alright," she finally said. "See you tomorrow."
KJ nodded back and exited the room. Mirae sat back in silence, pondering their next move. She took out a small notebook and began to scribble. After a while she began to study the notes she had taken.
