“We met Glenn at the auto racing event in Germany. After that, we got closer with him and eventually, we became friends."
Glenn looks really excited while offering a handshake. Coldly, Jeremy shook hands with him.
“I finally met you, Mr. Jeremy Sean. It is such an honor to meet you face to face.”
“Nice to meet you.” Jeremy said without a soul.
Chris and Ken cussed in their heads when they saw how cold Jeremy is towards Glenn.
“I’ll get going.”
“What???” Chris is obviously flustered.
“Aren’t you joining us? W
With haste, Serin washed her face again. Like the rushing water, her heart is pounding so fast. Feeling overly insane, she left the bathroom and went to her bed. "What's with my eyes??" She is sure that no clear answer could explain how her eyes flashed scenarios. That shocking oddness is extremely haunting. With what just happened, it would be difficult to sleep again. She left her room and went straight to the kitchen. While having a cup of warm tea, she is staring into space. Her mind is in a total mess because of what she just experienced. Thinking about the unthinkable mystery surrounding her eyes, she can't help but fall into distressing agitation. Now she already knows how that
Jeremy doesn't know what to do. Eyes locked on his phone, his yearning heart tells him to answer the call but his mind strongly refuses. Determined to keep doing what he should be doing, he threw his phone to the bed. "I am sorry, Serin.. I'm really sorry. I'm doing this, not only for us but especially for you." Looking at his phone, he wants to end the call but he can't. Only the thought of it is really breaking his heart. He closed his eyes, so he won't see her name. Ignoring the call and enduring the tight squeeze in his heart, he suddenly got a feeling that Serin is not okay at the moment. Something must have happened to her. With haste, he opened his eyes and got his phone. Feeling the tremb
"He suddenly disappeared???" Serin gave Francis a puzzled look. "Why do you look so surprised?" "You said.. he d..disappeared.." "Ah.. what I mean is that he didn't vanish into thin air, okay? When I returned from buying him coffee, he was no longer sitting where I had left him. I even looked for him around the park but he was completely gone. He must have been in a rush." 'Shit!' Francis cursed in his head. What he heard from Serin just confirmed that the old man really disappeared. That shocking revelation instantly sent shivers to his spine. Pale f
"But.. I have a clear memory of him." "Really?? That's good news, right?" "Well.. for some reason, yes." "That means you can already remember the people or events that became part of your past?" "Sad to say, that's not the case. When I saw him for the first time, I had already lost my memory. That was nine years ago." A heavy sigh came from Francis. "I thought you would have your memory back anytime soon." He glanced at Serin. "But.. don't worry, ma'am. I'm sure you'll have it back in the perfect timing." What the guy had just said instantly painted a beautiful smile on Seri
"You missed Serin, didn't you?" Ms. An blurting out the truth all of a sudden flustered Jeremy. "I'm sure everyone felt the same." He replied without looking at Ms. An. "You're right, Jeremy. When she moved to Paris, all of us here missed her so much. That's why when she surprised us with a visit here a few weeks ago, we were really happy." She looked at Jeremy, smiling. "I'm sure your family must have felt a lot happier." 'Yes, especially me.' He responded in the back of his mind. "Since she returned here, she has been getting a lot prettier. What do you think?" A shy smile
Looking at Serin, Jeremy feels extremely sorry. He totally ignored and avoided her. What he had done surely affected her. According to the doctor, she fainted due to exhaustion and lack of sleep. She didn't only overwork to distract herself because worse was, she had trouble sleeping. "I'm sorry, Serin.. I'm really sorry.." Brokenhearted, he got his phone and reread the message Serin sent this morning. 'You can always lean on me.' Tears fell. The screen before his misty eyes instantly becomes blurry. He is deeply hurting because of the pain he has caused her. Sad to say, he will keep hurting her. That's the tormenting part of helping Serin get her memory back.
"Serin started to see your past as Jeremy Sean in her dreams. I should not show up before her. Because if I do, she might have a clear recall of the painful memory that devastated you on the night of your 14th birthday. Your mom's.." Tragic death. That's what Sodon was supposed to say but he couldn't utter those words. Chris and Ken glanced at their best friend. They can really tell that Jeremy is hurting at the moment because he still carries such a tormenting memory of his mom's painful death. "I'm sorry for bringing up your cruel past. You're hurting because of me." "Don't say that, Sodon. Why are you sorry? Because of what you said? I won't deny that I'm in pain at this moment but that doesn'
The old man smiled back at him. "I'm glad to see you again." "Do you r..remember me?" Francis asked. His voice began to sound shaky. Sodon nodded in response. "You were with Serin when I ran into her a few weeks ago. I'm sure you're completely shocked and frightened to see me again." "W..What do you m..mean, sir??" The old man can't look Francis in the eye. "That day.. You saw me suddenly appear in the middle of the road, didn't you?" Extremely sickening shock consumed Francis. Pale-faced, he can no longer conceal what has been truly feeling. He is overly flustered. He can't utter a single word. Dizziness seems to knock him
