All of a sudden, a soft gasp broke Ji-Won's quiet monologue.
"K.J.W…" Su-Jin breathed out in a whisper. "So that really was you…"
"Mn." Ji-Won nodded slowly.
Next, Su-Jin watched with surprise how the man's lips slowly pulled up into a smile. His eyes also curved as he continued to reminisce.
"At that time, I didn't think of my mother. I only thought that the little girl needed this handkerchief more than I did. So, I gave it to her." he said quietly, then sighed. "When I thought back on that event I had moments when I regretted it. But I kept telling myself that, if she had seen me helping someone else like that, mother would have been proud of me."
Hearing that, Su-Jin's heart leaped inside her chest.
The next moment, though, a soft whine unexpectedly broke out through her lips. It sounded like the whimpers of a small animal in pain.
