How many days has it been—of them last seeing each other face to face, eye to eye, without any barrier of technology between them?

Weeks. Months. Almost a year.

After Hitomi's decision to return to Japan to manage the business her father left her, that day, she didn't only bring her whole belonging with her—but also a piece of Minjoo's heart. Perhaps a piece is downplaying it. Almost whole of Minjoo's heart is perhaps more accurate description.

The relationship between Hitomi and Minjoo, Minjoo and Hitomi, has always been complicated. They are bestfriends, but people can see they are more than that. They are lovers, but seems less than lovers. Are they dating, are they each other's girlfriends?

No. That one is never clear. Neither of them have told each other the l-word let alone having a date as "romantic partners". No.

The only one thing is clear between them that they hold each other dearly and not even the machinations of the higher beings can separate them. Physically they can—but with heartstring intertwined together, it feels impossible to sever the tight bond between them.<
