Mystery #44
† MYSTERIOUS YಠU † - {신비한 그대}Ji Eun was already seated at the breakfast table when Minseok and Yoo Jung came in. Minseok had waited for Yoo Jung just to walk with her together to breakfast.
Madam Kim took a sip of tea and waited for either of them to speak. Her body was still aching from the possession few nights ago. She’d heard from Lee in the morning that the Grim Reaper had explained everything to the two children and she too was still coping with the story. There was tightness in her chest as she thought of him; her deceased husband. It has been so long, she knew that he was no longer the same. He already had no recollection of her and his past life.

The Grim Reaper didn’t actually announce that he was trying to catch a murderer right away. She smiled again, gazing lovingly at the two children.
There were however, still many mysteries unsolved. The mark on Luhan’s chest seemed familiar to Yoo Jung but she couldn’t seem to remember where or how she’d seen it. Minseok had since told her to take things slow. He thought that maybe she’d seen it before the car accident. Ever since moving into this household, Yoo Jung had dreams on what seemed like her past memories. It was how she recognized and remembered Minseok and Luhan.
