Lee Taehwan sat in his room, holding closely to his chest a picture of Jung Hyerim. In the photo, she was reading a novel, when her younger brother surprised her from behind a tree, making her laugh in embarrassment.

The moment was just as vivid in Taehwan’s memory as it had been in reality.

It was the last moment Taehwan had heard her laugh before she took the drive that would end her life.

Taehwan began to remember the call he’d received about his fiancé, the police frantically trying to explain the tragedy. He remembered them telling him that her body wasn’t recovered, and he began to think the worst.

Her body had flown from the vehicle.

Then his phone rang.

An unknown number was listed, but he took a chance, hoping this was the sign he was begging for.

“Um, hello,” he answered hesitantly.

“Lee Taehwan?” a familiar voice spoke.

“This is he.”

“Hey, it’s Lee Jinki, friend of Arisa.”

“Yes, I remember you. How can I help you?”

“Actually, I want to help you. I have no idea how you must be feeling about all of this, but maybe you’d like to talk about it.”

Taehwan sighed, aggravated that his sign was
