Opening his eyes, Woo Jin found himself floating in an endless darkness.
He can’t see nor feel anything.
But suddenly, something heavy has been put on his chest.
It was so heavy to the point of leaving him breathless.
But he can’t feel that heavy thing on his chest, like that thing was inside of him all this time.
‘What is this… This heavy feeling…?’
Then suddenly, he felt a warm sensation on his cheeks.
‘am I crying? Why? ’
‘This feeling, I remember… this is regret'

This very familiar girl…
This girl…is his beloved little sister!
Woo Jin didn’t know what is happening but he didn’t waste anytime and hurriedly hug the innocent little girl with a mix feeling of relief, sadness, regrets and longing.
Woo Jin: Aera! It’s really you! Brother is sorry! I should've been there to protect you! I’m sorry!!!
Woo Jin said while embracing his little sister like it’s the first time he got a chance to hug her after a long time which is the case.
All the regrets, sadness and longing came back into his heart like a flash of light.
Seeing his little sister and embracing her once again, this feeling of relief came wash his very existence.
The day he lost her, her smile, her cuteness, her hugs, her warmth, everything, he misses it like no other.
Unconsciously, his tears flowed like a water fall while saying sorry repeatedly, hoping that it can wash away his guilt.
Aera: Oppa, Whatchu saying? Why you crying? Wahhh Aera don’t like crying! *proceeds on crying*
Woo Jin lost his little sister at the age of 15 from a car accident after he got late to fetch her from school due to his lack of awareness in time while practicing.
And so he lost her… The little princess of their family.
That time, he finally realize what true pain is.
Losing someone, that unbearable pain, the guilt, and longing.
The pain Woo Jin felt at that time was too much that he didn’t even shed a single tear. Instead, he just stood in front of the lifeless body of his sister.
Maybe because the pain was too much that made him completely numb.
That bloody and lifeless body of his sister got painted on his brain like a permanent tattoo.
Then Woo Jin suddenly realise something and huriedly pick up Aera and rush outside of his room.
What met him was their familiar living room.
Further down the living room is where the dining room is located.
He heard a familiar voices from the dining area that made his already heavy heart, heavier.
And he finally took a step.
Every step he take felt so heavy for Woo Jin.
Not because he was embracing Aera who is still crying on his embrace but because of nervousness, longing and finally… regrets.
After finally arriving at the dining area, Woo Jin roam his sight in every corner of the room until he saw the two very familiar faces.
Woo Jin: M-mom? Dad?...
Seeing his parents again after so many years… the heavy feeling from his chest got much heavier.
The guilt and regret ate his very existence. But then, there was a sudden relief, joy, euphoria…
After losing his sister, he lost them too. His incompetence made them disappear.
His mother died from depression after losing my sister. That same goes for my father after losing his beloved wife.
That pain of losing those who you love without having a power to stop it. It almost made him crazy.
After hearing the voice of their oldest son, Mr. and Mrs. Jung shook their heads to where Woo Jin was standing motionlessly with little Aera still crying on his arms. His eyes was dark with an obvious longing evident from it.
Mrs. Jung: Woo Jin, did you tease Aera again? Aish this kid---
Suddenly, she saw Woo Jin run towards her like a bull and hug her tight that made her shock.
Mrs, Jung: Woo Jin, what happened?
Then she felt that her shoulder was getting wet while hearing light sobs from her son.
Mr. Jung: Woo Jin, are you okay?
Woo Jin: I’m sorry… Mom… Dad… Aera… I’m sorry! I promise to protect you all! This time… I will protect you this time!
Woo Jin said while still embracing his mother with Aera at the middle of them crying without knowing why. That little girl just doesn’t like seeing her family sad.
Woo Jin doesn’t care if this is a dream or not but he swear that this time…
