Three years have passed...
Time has moved on, and crime no longer seems to prevail. After Mrs. Lee admitted her guilt and received her punishment, Lee Seung Jo could feel a sense of peace. However, the absence of his mother still saddened him, and he tried various ways to find out where she was.
On a quiet and chilly night, Lee Seung Jo looked restless. His eyes were vacant, and he didn't even notice the biting cold outside. He took a slow breath and exhaled quickly, as if trying to release a lingering feeling from his heart.
His solitude on the porch drew the curiosity of Lee Kim Dan. The figure suddenly sat beside Lee Seung Jo. For several minutes, his presence went unnoticed because Lee Kim Dan allowed the man to express his feelings in silence.
Eventually, Lee Seung Jo became aware of the presence beside him. He gave a faint smile and asked, "Since when have you been here? Why have you been silent?"
