Five months later.
Hawaii, July 2017.
Hannah walks along the ocean shore, watching children playing on the rocks. She is horrified by the sight and wonders where the parents are, since tragedy could strike at any moment. Her heart presses in her throat as she watches the waves hitting the rocks with tremendous force.
— Kids! — she shouts as she walks closer to them. — Just now I saw a hairy monster between the rocks. Run away before it drags you into the water!
— You're a hairy monster yourself! — replies the boy to her, sticking out his tongue.
The 20-year-old is outraged by this child's behavior and would most like to put it on his head.
— Hairy monster. — Joseph, who is walking behind her, laughs throatily. This child is the only being in the world who has been able to make him laugh to the point that he tilts his head back and holds his hands on his stomach. — You even look like this when the wind blows your hair in your face.
— Haha, but funny — the girl teases him. — Why are you following me? Go back to that pretty waitress who shines those big blue eyes at you. She's so fake it makes your head hurt, but if you like post-op ladies, why not?
Joseph shakes his head, thinking that Hannah is the best at telling silly things.
— Come here — he says, beckoning her with his finger. The girl snorts in response. — Won't you come?
— Call the fake waitress that way, and she'll surely come running to you like a breathless dog.
The boy walks toward her, and Hannah starts running away. They chase each other all over the shore, until finally, she inadvertently falls into his arms. Joseph embraces her around the waist and lifts her up, looking at her jealous face with amusement in his eyes.
— Let me go.
— You're the size of a doll, so I can hold you like this all day.
Hannah laughs artificially.
— Really? I only wish I weighed just what a doll does. In a minute, you'll have enough.
— I certainly won't. I'm strong.
He runs with her into the water, Hannah starts screaming when he specially throws her in.
She punishes him with her eyes as she walks out onto the shore.
— Well what? It's not my fault that you're so small that you drown even on the ocean shore.
The 20-year-old feels like killing him when she lowers her head and sees that the cream-colored dress she is wearing is all see-through.
— Are you satisfied? Now I'll go back to the hotel and let all the guys stare at me — she says with anger in her voice. Joseph gets out of the water and immediately takes off his black T-shirt.
— Put it on — he says. The girl scoops the water out of her clothes and puts the T-shirt on, glancing at her boyfriend's muscular belly out of the corner of her eye.
— AAA, so this is what you wanted. You want to go back to the hotel with a bare chest to show off to the waitress how muscular you are.
— One day I won't be able to stand it, and I'll kill you. I swear — he says, leaving her behind. — In a few hours, Halsey's wedding ceremony will start, so you'd better hurry, whiny girl.

She pulls a curling iron out of her bag and leaves the room to ask Bella to help her get a haircut, but her attention is caught by Jin, who is making his way quickly to one of the rooms.
— I was already afraid I wouldn't make it — he says in a tired voice when he spots Hannah. — I missed my flight. Nightmare.
— You are going through a difficult time right now. And I admire you so much that you are coping with everything. Suddenly, you had to take care of your father's business in his absence, and you can reconcile all your responsibilities. You are strong — she comforts the boy, patting him on the shoulder. — I probably would have given up already at the beginning.
Jin sighs loudly.
— Lately, everything has come down on my head. My father's condition has improved somewhat, yet I can't be happy about it. I can't until I hear that he is completely healthy. Besides... — at this point, he interrupts and pulls his phone out of his pants pocket. — Today I received this text message.
He hands the cell phone to the girl, letting her read the message from Danielle.
"I know how much you miss me, but don't worry. I will get back to you soon. I'm slowly settling all my affairs and will soon be able to use my entertaining life to the fullest. I don't know the date or the time, so wait until I'm back in New York permanently, and you'll taste the madness again in my company.
Give my best to my little sister.
Kisses, Danielle."
Hannah can't get the word out for a moment.
— Is she really planning to come back here?
— Yes, and the worst thing is that she has enemies here at every turn. I have a bad feeling that she will bring trouble on us again. She can't live without creating problems, and the worst part is that it's not her, but the people around her who suffer.
That's still what it took for the demonic twin to return to the city...
