Yun-He.......

Is that you??

Tears immediate streams down from her face.

The lost memories crushing her like waves, drowning and devouring her.

She opens the gate of the Sacred Heart Orphanage. There are new buildings, but.....it's still surrounded by darkness........Why do tragedies have to replicate again?

Her mind is in total chaos. She cannot see the colours of the world. In her hazy mind, she walks forward as if something is calling out to her. A dangerous contract, when they summon, she must respond......but, the person that is calling out to me, is you.......

Why did she forget? It was something so significant and painful, why did she end up forgetting it??

She walks into the dark building, the scenery around her starts to spin. The unfamiliar buildings start to burn into ashes, and then from ashes, returns to the buildings like the ones in her memories.

She walks up the stairs slowly. Yun-He was pushed from it by other children and he broke his legs. Step by step, shadows start to superimpose in the dark. She can hear voices of children talking one over another. Yun-He's voice is also evident but far.

On the hallway of the 4th floor, a child sits in a wheelchair. It's the boy she met in the bookstore, A-Chi, but behind the boy stands a shadow, it's Yun-He.

"Jin Seon Mi, you finally came back?"

The shadow asks her.

"Why did you break our promise??? Didn't we say that we will be together forever???"

The child reaches out to her.

"Do you remember? You.....promised me."

On that child's forehead, there is an obvious mark indicative of an evil spirit.

"Or is it that you are afraid of me?"

She shakes her head.

No way, why would she be scared?

This, was the person that was nicest to her.....the nicest person.....

She holds onto that hand, it's ice cold.

She kneels on the floor and sobs uncontrollably.

"I'm so sorry.........I'm sorry......."

Besides apologizing, there seems to be nothing else she could do. Besides apologizing, she doesn't know how to lighten the guilt she feels.

The icy cold hand still feels the same as when they were young. He lets her holding onto it without a struggle.

"Then, will you stay here? And be with me forever?" Yun-He asks.

"I.............."

"JIN SEON MI--- !!!!!"

A voice warns sharply. On the other side of the darkness, a familiar voice rings in her ears.

"Didn't I tell you not to easily make any promises??"

He is standing on the other side, wearing a blue wind coat. But for some reason, he's not come closer. His face is filled with worries and concerns. His expression looks like he's trying to hold back pain.

She looks toward him with a face full of tears. She then turns her head back to Yun-He.

"Seon Mi, your fairy-nim, finally appeared." Yun-He's voice speaks, "So this time, you.......are going to let go of my hand again?"
