"Sometimes one cannot control what other people perceive them as. You know, Ru, that I never dared to pretend some rich heir. But somehow that was the impression everyone received. Maybe it was because Mama and Uncle Ryu never differentiated between you and me making us receive the same type of education or even buying us similarly branded clothes. But over time, I had become oblivious to all this. Even though I have insisted on calling him Uncle Ryu, I have always looked at him like anfather. And had forgotten that we had no blood relation.
Anyway when I was dating Soo-ah the reality that she showed me was something that shook me and my beliefs. I know everyone thought that I ran away because I was hurt by her. But that is only somewhat true."
