Joon-sang says.

"Yeah. The doctor told me to undergo surgency as soon as possible."

They walk slowly between some trees that are evenly spaced. Yoo-jin asks him:

"When did you ...er.. Did you have eyesight for a while...?"

He replies matter-of-factly.

"No. After the surgery, when I woke up from the anesthesia, I found out I was blind."

He says plainly, in jest a bit.

"I guess that means I've become a resident of 'the Kingdom of Shadows'."

She is silent, recalling  his second car accident: Joon-sang being carried to the operating room on a stretcher, covered by an oxygen mask.

  　" Joon-sang!"

   "Oh, Please!  No!"

Yoo-jin murmurs.

"You would deny it . But... but I knew it was surely my fault you got hurt."

She continues in a tearful voice.

"I... I'm sorry. Joon-sang...It's... " 

"Yoo-jin"

He stops walking.

"Give me your hands."

He holds his palm out before him.

Still sobbing, she looks at him hesitantly and puts her hands on his.

"Don't blame yourself, Yoo-jin. That is what hurts me the most."

Joon-sang gently wraps her hands in his.

"Don't apologize anymore. Though I think it's so you."

Feeling the warmth of his hand, she remembers how he, who was called Lee Min-hyeong at that time ,held her hands in his villa.

"I've wanted to hold your hands."

"..."

" I wanted to look into your eyes like this, and comfort you."

"..."

" It must have been hard for you... Yoo-jin-si."

＊＊

There is a bench in a corner of the garden.

The two are sitting hand in hand.

The sun is low in the west. The shadows of them stretch long.

Joon-sang says, while his chestnut-colored hair shining.

"Yoo-jin. How are your mother and sister. They are still in Chuncheon, aren't they?"

"Yes, They met me at the airport the day I came back from France. Mama was fine. My sister looked  grown-up. She graduated from college a while ago and got a job. Time flies by so fast."

 Yoo-jin turns to him.

"Your mother is fine too?"

"Oh, yes. She's traveling around the world for her recitals as much as before."

Yoo-jin remembers Kang Mee-hi's  gorgeous looking.

She thinks for a while and says, blinking.

"Well...actually I heard Mama got a letter from your mother. Maybe a few years ago."

He looks surprised.

"Mother wrote a letter to your mother? ...Really?"

  "Study?  Study what?" Yoo-jin looks alternately at Kim and Joon-sang. "Where do I begin?..." Joon-sang mumbles. " All out of necessity" He takes a breath. "Until I lost my eyesight, I'd never understood how difficult it would be to live without sight. Not at all. I've stumbled over every little step in my own house again and again." She stares at him speaking. "Fortunately, I had some architectural knowledge. I needed it for myself and wished to use it  for all physically challenged."  Kim looks down and listens to him. "It wasn't easy for me (a visually impaired person) to gain high expertise, you know. Right, I couldn't read the book. Nor use a computer. So what I got started  was learning braille.  "Braille"  Yoo-jin murmured. "Yeah, I did whatever I could to learn. Learning braille, making someone reading to me, trying an app that automatically reads sentences." Joon-sang nods. ”Through tri...

Yoo-jin says to Joon-sang. "It was when I took the courses in France.  Maybe right after your surgery..." She traces her memory. "I got a call from Mama. She mentioned the letter." He nods. She says hesitantly. "I didn't ask her the details, but it seemed to be about Dad. And about you..." "Me ?" "Yes. That the surgery was a success and you've got well. I guess...your mother wanted to let me know that you were safe." "..." They both fall silent. Joon-sang, who has been thinking about something with a distant look, quietly opens his mouth. "... Three years ago, I didn't understand my mother at all. She'd made my memories changed. Moreover she convinced me that your father was my father." He recalls his mother sitting in front of the piano, her back shaking. "I...I'm so sorry, Joon-sang." " ' Sorry' ? How dare you! You tore my heart and Yoo-jin's to shreds." "......

  "You and Sang-hyeok-si, of course. Who else?" "Me and Sang-hyeok...?" Yoo-jin wonders for a while, remembering that Joon-sang also said something weird a while ago. "Do you think I married Sang-hyeok? Is that what you mean?"  Kim lightly touches the head of his nose with his finger, wondering if it could be a mistake.  Then he thinks she and Sang-hyeok cradled the girl just two days ago. "Yes, I'm sure you did.  And you have a child. A girl, right?" "A girl..."　Yoo-jin mumbles. There is a brief silence. "Could it be Ji-hyun?" Kim nods while saying: "I don't know her name .But I saw you near the apartment in Seoul, holding her a few days ago__" He realizes he just confessed that he(and Joon-sang) had visited there.   "Oh sh*t" Hearing his tweet of regret, Yoo-jin says clearly. ”I got it, Mr. Kim. That girl is Jin-sook's child. And her husband, Yong-gook's." "Jin-sook?" Kim, m...
