Master :
You are going to stay there for almost 5 days
From Day 23 till Day 29
You'll depart from Korea at Day 23, and you'll arrive at Day 24
Then, you'll be heading back to Korea at Day 29
Make sure you get your stuffs ready within those days
Kim Hanni :
Okay!
Kim Jibeom :
Erm.. Master..
Is it possible for me to bring my daughter along?
She haven't gotten used to be separated from me yet since she was a baby.
Hence, no one can take care of her during those days.
She can't take care of herself yet since she's just 3.
I can't leave her alone.
Hong Joochan :
Oh noooo
Kim Hanni :
No reply from Master :(
Kim Donghyun :
We can't leave Jibeom's daughter alone, Master
Ha Chaerin :
She's still young
Bong Jaehyun :
Oh no.. poor Jibeom's daughter
Jang Aya :
If Jibeom can't bring his daughter, what will happen? :(
Kim Jibeom :
I won't go then.
I can't leave my daughter alone.
Jung Leia :
Oh no :(
Master :
After a few considerations with the project team, we have decided that ONLY KIM JIBEOM is allowed to bring his ONE family member to the trip due to the circumstances
However, Kim Jibeom's daughter isn't allow to join SOME of the activities that specifically made for only Serendipity members
Therefore, we have a team that will be taking care of Jibeom's daughter while all Serendipity members are doing the activities there
Kim Jibeom :
As long as my daughter is in the safe hands.
Thank you so much for your consideration, Master.
Hong Joochan :
Mission accomplished!😆
Jung Leia :
Jibeom's daughter will come too!🥳
Jang Aya :
Yeay!
Ha Chaerin :
This means that we're going to meet Jibeom's daughter in person!😳
Bong Jaehyun :
OMG yes!
Kim Hanni :
Aaaaa!😆
Kim Donghyun :
I can finally meet that mini birthday twin of mine!
Kim Jibeom :
Hahahaa.
Master :
The heart-giving activity will be starting now
The chatroom will be restricted
Ha Chaerin :
Wait Master—
We haven't talked about the last Serendipity night!
Kim Hanni :
OMG that..
Jibeom are you alright?
Kim Donghyun :
Bro Jibeom, you good?
Bong Jaehyun :
Yeah!
You good?
Jang Aya :
Is your injury bad?
Master :
The chatroom will be restricted now
*the chatroom deactivated*
* * *
Jibeom hasn't even get to reply in the chatroom but Master has deactivated the chat.
Jibeom completes his heart-giving task. For 17 days of Serendipity starts, he hasn't gotten to send his heart to anyone else instead of Leia. His heart has seemed to be set only for Leia. But... do Leia will think the same as his?
* * *
Jibeom gets 3 hearts this time.
Jibeom is sure that the 2nd heart is from Hanni but who are those possible senders for another 2 hearts? Why is he so popular today?
* * *
Leia's storytelling
Leia straights up to wash herself after she reads the heart she received. She only receives one this time.
* * *
At 6pm, Leia has just finished her class.
"Hey, let's go have a drink?" One of Leia's friends initiates an activity.
"Oh? Sure! I'm going home by myself anyway today" Leia says.
* * *
Leia goes to the nearest Starbucks Coffee with her friends. While having fun there, she sees Sungyoon is passing by the cafe. He seems not to see Leia is there too. Leia takes her phone to snap Sungyoon's picture intentionally to tease him. But her gesture stops when she sees Sungyoon is meeting a middle-aged woman at the coffee table outside. Leia can't see her face really well so she is just monitoring Sungyoon with the unknown woman. Until the woman takes off her sunglasses, Leia is shocked to see that woman is the same woman who met Sungyoon in front of the house a few days ago. Leia is eager to know who's that woman actually.
"Leia, are you okay?" One of Leia's friends asks.
"Yeah.. I'm okay" Leia says but her eyes can't take off Sungyoon and the woman.
"What's wrong?" Leia's friends begin to look at the point she is looking at.
"Don't look. They'll suspect that" Leia says.
"What's wrong? Who are you looking at?" Leia's friend asks.
"My brother.." Leia says.
* * *
Leia gets out of the cafe with her friends. Sungyoon and the woman are still there.
"Leia, let's go.." Leia's friend asks.
"You can go home now.. I'll stay here" Leia says.
"But how are you going to get home?" Leia's friend asks her again.
"My brother is here. Don't worry" Leia says. All her friends nod.
* * *
Leia sits near Sungyoon and the woman to hear about the conversation. Leia takes out her laptop to pretend like she's doing a work to make it less awkward and suspicious.
"I don't wanna have any business with you. Just leave me alone, please.." the woman says.
"Omma, I know that you're happy with your life now.. but I.. I have no one to ask for help.. please.." Sungyoon says.
"You have your own life and I have mine. Let's pretend like we never know each other, okay?" The woman says. She gets up but Sungyoon holds his hand.
"Omma please... I only have you now.. please help me.." Sungyoon says.
"Let me go.." the woman says.
"Omma, I promise.. I promise I won't disturb you after this.. please.. help me.." Sungyoon begs to the woman.
"How many times do I have to tell you?! I don't wanna help you! I don't want to have anything with you! I hate you! I wish you aren't my son! I wish you aren't here! So stop searching for me!" The woman says while raising her voice. Everyone begins to look at them. She sighs then leaves Sungyoon alone. Leia tries to be calm and not to interfere with the situation. Sungyoon then sits down back to the seat. He looks down. While waiting for the atmosphere to calm down, Leia hears a sobbing voice coming from Sungyoon. Is he crying? Leia starts to panic.
A few minutes later, Leia approaches Sungyoon.
"Oppa?" Leia pretends like she accidentally meets Sungyoon there. Sungyoon wipes his face. He looks at Leia as soon as he recognises her voice.
"Leia? What are you doing here?" Sungyoon asks while trying to put a smile on his face.
"Oh I'm about to stop by.. just to find some coffee. What are you doing here? Wait... are you.. crying?" Leia plays to care when she already knows what Sungyoon has done today.
"Ah.. no.. I'm.. I'm just.. ah my eyes are feeling itchy.." Sungyoon says.
"Are you okay? Are you sick?" Leia plays along.
"Ah no.. I'm okay.." Sungyoon says.
"Have you ordered your coffee?" Sungyoon asks.
"Not yet" Leia says.
"Let's order some together.." Sungyoon says. Leia nods.
* * *
At night, Leia puts a glass of plain water on Sungyoon's desk while he is doing his work. Sungyoon smiles when looking at it.
"Why it's not a coffee or something?" Sungyoon teases Leia.
"What do you mean, you're going to take your medicine after this!" Leia says. Sungyoon giggles.
"Thank you" Sungyoon says.
"Are you doing your thesis?" Leia asks while looking at Sungyoon's laptop screen. Sungyoon nods.
"It's complete now. I'm just rechecking it" Sungyoon says.
"Wow Choi Sungyoon. You can be a lecturer after this" Leia says. Sungyoon smiles. Yes, it is Sungyoon's dream to be a university lecturer.
"We'll see how it goes" Sungyoon smiles. He sips the glass of water.
"Oppa.. you don't have.. any secrets you hide from me, right?" Leia asks. Hearing that question from Leia, Sungyoon seems to stunned but he tries not to make it obvious.
"Of course not.. why would I?" Sungyoon says. He looks at Leia.
"Nothing. It just comes to my mind" Leia says.
"Hey, what's about the book you write?" Sungyoon tries to change the topic but it succeeds to distract Leia. Leia smiles.
"I'm writing it halfway through it" Leia says.
"You still don't wanna tell me what it is all about?" Sungyoon asks.
"No! It's confidential" Leia says.
"Come on.. drop me a hint.. a little hint.." Sungyoon begs.
"Ah no..." Leia says.
"Please.. please.." Sungyoon tries to make a cute face. Leia laughs.
"Oppa you should see your face. It's funny!" Leia says.
"Please drop a hint.. its genre, its synopsis.. how dare you to keep a secret from your own brother" Sungyoon says. Leia laughs.
"Okay okay. Just a glimpse of it" Leia says. Sungyoon smiles.
"The genre is a romantic fantasy. It's about a university man who has sixth sense. He can see some 'creatures' that other normal people can't see. So he meets a girl that means to be a poor soul because she has been killed brutally, but she didn't remember where was her body. Since that man can see her, she asks for that man's help to find her body. That man refuses at first but this "girl ghost" has kept asking for his help. Sooner he agrees. He then tries to gather a lot of information and that girl tries to give him information as much as she can by what event she remembers before the murder scene takes place" Leia says.
"Wow, interesting" Sungyoon says.
"After some serious investigation, they are so close to know about the location of the girl's body. When they are nearer the girl's body, the girl will regain her memory so that's the clue to know where is the body. After a few months of investigation, the man decides to go for hiking to some private hiking spot just to clear his mind from his load of thoughts about his studies. The ghost girl is still accompanying him. While he's about to climb up the trails, he finds a suspicious luggage with a very foul odour on it. He then tries to look at it but he finds a rotten corpse in it. He calls for police straight to the scene.." Leia says.
"Wow, it's getting fun" Sungyoon says while listening to Leia carefully.
"After the police takes the body and he has given his verdict to the police, that man goes back to climb up the trails and he finds an old shrine. He stops by to make some offers for the poor body he has found, praying for the body to find its justice and the soul to rest in peace. He then realises that the girl is slowly fading away. Turn out, the body he found was the girl's body. She begins to get her memory back and slowly fading away. That man is shocked. After a few months together, he realises that he has fallen in love with her. He begs her to stay but nothing she can do because it's beyond her power. That man offers some "sake" to the shrine and begs for the girl to stay. Suddenly an old monk comes. The monk can see the girl too. The monk understands everything without them telling it. The girl has finally faded away. That man makes some offerings and prays at the shrine that he wants to go back to the past and saves the girl. The monk prohibits that man to ask for that because it'll change her and his fates but that man doesn't care. He wants that girl to stay.." Leia says.
"Wow so does the girl get to be saved?" Sungyoon asks.
"It's a secret hehe. But I can tell you a clue. The monk says that it's possible to do that but it comes with choices and of course, it will take some efforts and risks. The choices are, firstly, that man has just to accept the fate that the girl is no longer in this world. So nothing will be changed. He will live his life like usual. Secondly, that man will get to travel to the past and saves the girl. But if the girl gets to be saved, both of them will lost their memories. Both of them will never remember each other in the future. If they are destined to be together, they'll cross paths and be together. If they aren't destined to be lovers, they'll never know each other.." Leia says.
"What if he tries to save the girl but the girl is still died?" Sungyoon asks.
"Then the future will remain the same. The only difference is the girl's body will be found earlier than it should be.." Leia says. Sungyoon claps his hand.
"Leia.. your idea is really good though. I can't wait to read the entire story when it's finished!" Sungyoon says. Leia smiles widely.
"Do you think it'll give a hype?" Leia asks.
"Of course! I'll be the first one to buy your book! You better give me an autograph!" Sungyoon says. Leia giggles.
"You'll shock even more to read it later" Leia says.
"What do you mean?" Sungyoon asks.
"Nothing!" Leia says. She then gets up and she walks out of Sungyoon's room.
