Instead of lingering in Hongkong overnight, Anton decided to return to Korea, regardless of how late it was.
Following his encounter with Maya, Anton lost his appetite and lost his mood to rest altogether. He would rather be home with his wife and child. He wanted to see Nari.
He arrived near dawn the following day. He went straight to waking up his wife.
Yanmei had fallen asleep out of exhaustion. She was hugging a pillow on one side of the bed, not noticing the arrival of her husband.
"Mine," called Anton. "Good morning. I want to see Nari today, Let's go."
Yanmei's eyes fluttered open. She rubbed her eyes, not expecting to see her husband at that hour. she asked, "Mine? How are you back so early? What time is it? I thought you are arriving at noon?"
"It's almost five in the morning." He pecked on her cheek and forehead before he answered, "I - I had a strange encounter."
"Strange encounter?" Yanmei asked.
