"Will that going to be the last box?" The prosecutor's voice echoed throughout the porch as she watched her husband took the last box she could see from their new house's gate. After days of contemplating, Irene did not know what came up to her mind to agree with him, maybe she did not want to fire a huge fight between the two of them that may result to her death or it was just the deep part of her saying that she should move on.

Move on.

Two words but she couldn't bear to understand if it was really the point on why she decided to do this. Their plans of having a child was still there but even just the idea of kissing him had made her nauseous, it even made the man to think that she was already showing the early signs of pregnancy but she knew she wasn't and would never be.

Even though with her sudden decision, the woman still couldn't pushed away the fact that she had a job left undone there in Seoul that is three hours away from where they live now, it's not that she's neglecting her job but she also got her priorities she needed to do first. 

Was it really her priorities that she really wanted to save? Or that someone?

She was torn, there's nothing else she can do but to continue on living in this fairy tale she had and always thought to be. Her death, the parcel and the suspicion towards her husband had been getting to her nerves lately, she was eager, eager to solve these things quickly the same as how she wanted to lose him completely but she just can't especially now that her friend was suspecting him as the man behind those deaths.

And if ever that he will be that man behind it she wouldn't promised to be that the same woman that everyone had know before. Irene knew she wouldn't be able to accept that if ever that shit would happen, no matter how she would try to cry and asked for forgiveness towards the younger she knew her life wouldn't be that colorful as before.

Even though her death was still remained unknown, Irene knew she still needed to look for her justice that she deserved, but her doubts were also bringing her to the suspicion towards him, how much more if her husband did that crime? She'll lost her mind.

"Do you have anything that you wanted to eat?" The man asked from behind as she fixed herself to a sofa to study the papers that the man had given to her earlier. Junmyeon bought a two storey house that can fit a family of four members, it was pretty descent and in good shape when they both decided to pay a visit before they move, everything was cleaned and in place, some of the things that the owner had before were still there but as like what her husband said, it was left their purposely since she had already no plans in coming back to the country which Irene found weird for a person to left some expensive things that would surely left some sort of memory and attachment to them. "I'll go take some dinner down the town, can you wait for me?" The woman nodded her head as she heard him took his keys and left her their alone.

Irene was still reading and looking for any information with regards to the owner when she suddenly heard her phone ringing. A call from her friend, Wendy. The prosecutor knew it would nagged her again as she was just about to say the reason to the officer why they decided to move so sudden and also to remind her that she also needed to do her job. As always. "Wendy."

"Krystal wanted to meet you tonight. I'll send you the address. It's urgent." It really sounds like that. Besides, why would an ex-fiancée wanted to meet up with an ex-girlfriend right? It just made the older to think more conscious to herself, Jung might not wanted to admit but Irene knew that she wanted to blame her for losing Seulgi not just with their relationship but her entire being.

Whatever will be the outcome for their tonight's meeting she knew it would be something related to her death, and if ever things messed up, she would gladly accept it but that did not mean that she would give up. It was for the younger the reason why she kept on doing this even though she already wanted to give this up and hand it to others but for now, she can't, Irene can sense that she can already give the peace she deserved.
