That night, Mirae was in her room, lost in her thoughts. Secretary Lee's words ringed in her ears. Grandpa Kwon wanted her and KJ to get married all those years ago. No doubt that the old man wanted to protect her even after he was gone and wanted to entrust her care to KJ. Unfortunately, KJ had not turned up and hence, that wish remained unfulfilled. Until today.
Mirae reflected upon the irony of her situation. She wondered what would have happened if KJ had actually turned up. Would she have gone through with Grandpa Kwon's last wish? Life would have been different than, she thought sarcastically. She probably would not have found out about her parents and Abyss would not have been created. Mirae would have lived in a false sense of bliss.
There was a knock on the door.
"Can I come in?" KJ's voice came from outside.
