[2004]

"Good morning and welcome Mr. Gyeong." The orphanage's director smiles at their visitor who's wearing a suit. They bow to each other, shake hands, and sit in front of the table in the middle of the room.

The director gives two folders containing two of their orphans' profiles to the old man which he scanned immediately.

"Based on our records, two kids arrived that day." the director pauses and the man in suit glances at him to urge him to continue.

"At first, we find it odd that the way the babies arrived are quite similar,"

"What do you mean?" the visitor asked.

"We found the babies at the same time and on the same spot. They are wrapped with white blankets which have their names embroidered on it. We suspect that they are twins at first, because at some point, they have similar features. Until we read the letter on Mina's blanket,"

The visitor opens the folder consisting of Mina's information.

"It's not a long letter though. It only says, 'Until we meet again, Mina.' so we concluded that the two babies are not related to each other because if they were, then Jeongyeon's name must've been written on the letter as well." the director added.

The visitor lifts his gaze and clears his throat.

"I want to see the kid named Mina."

Challenging childhood made Jeongyeon learn basically everything that can fill her and Dahyun's empty stomach. Well, of course, except to those jobs that can put her in jail.

From the simplest to most complicated one—Jeongyeon tried them all. Dahyun mentioned it before, but seeing Jeongyeon so serious while driving her car carefully makes Mina wonder about the other skills that Jeongyeon might possess which makes Mina feel things she can't identify.

'How can someone be this damn attractive by just driving a car?!' Mina thought.

Jeongyeon throws a glance at Mina when she hears her heavy sigh. Their eyes meet and Mina swears that Jeongyeon has a different effect on her tonight.

Heck, Mina doesn't even know why she drove to Jeongyeon's address instead of her own when she was so tired from all of the preparations and meetings she attended today.

Of all the times and urges to see Jeongyeon, Mina's mind decided for her that she needs to see Jeongyeon—just because she is super tired.

Why would she want to see her friend first thing after an exhausting day? Like, what benefit can she get by seeing Jeongyeon's beautiful face?

"I want to say you can take a nap while I drive but we're almost there." Jeongyeon smiles at her then focuses her attention back on the road. They are awfully quiet and Jeongyeon understands that the woman is tired from work but she just can't stand the silence between them.

Mina is not saying anything even after what Jeongyeon told her. Usually, she will answer back or start a new conversation and laugh with Jeongyeon in between certain topics, but there's something about the street lights on Jeongyeon's face and colorful reflections of it on her eyes that leaves Mina speechless.
