"Director Cha told me that you used to go there very often before you left the country years ago. She was also very happy when you returned and visited the orphanage, giving the children the opportunity to see their mysterious 'Santa Clause'. I guess that is partly why all of them were so happy to see you."
Su-Jin had said all this innocently, without any hidden meaning behind her words.
In any case, she was also without parents. After learning a little bit about Ji-Won's family, she could relate with his wish of being close to a place that his mother loved so much.
If Su-Jin had expected Ji-Won would be pleased with her words, she was very much mistaken.
The moment her last words fell, Ji-Won's small smile faltered.
Like a switch had been flicked, his mood changed and the air around him became frosty and suffocating.
"I guess Director Cha said something useless." Ji-Won said stiffly.
