The sound of the bell from the action of opening the door attract people to see the customer that enters the restaurant. Almost all of the customer in the restaurant turn their heads to see the new customer that just entered.

A waiter with a green apron and short hair walked confidently to greet the new customer.

Hi, reservation under Shim Suryeon please She asked politely to the waitress.

Wait for a seconds, I will check your reservation. Okay, Shim Suryeon, one table for three at rooftop. Come with me, let me show you the table.

The clinking sound from the cutlery can be heard as no one talk to each other at the moment. The family of three sitting peacefully, enjoying their lunch. All of the customers that had their lunch at the rooftop mesmerize by them. The mother is elegant, everyone eyes captured by her appearance. The daughter is beautiful, as the gene from her mother is in her blood, no one can deny it. Meanwhile, the son looks like a prodigy. Despite the fact that, his face looks different from his mother, his cold looks enchanted the girls who see him.

If people look from afar, they would assume that the family that been enjoying the meals in front of them is very loving and harmonious. Unknown to them, each one of the family member had experienced many bad things. The kids had been abused and used by their father, leaving them in trauma. The mother had almost been killed, had to leave her precious children with their father. Although she knew that it is not a wise decision to leave her children behind, she had to do it. To finish her devil ex-husband wickedness to an end and bring justice to the people she loves.

As soon as they had finished their lunch.

As the brother moves from their line of visison, Seokkyung fixs her gaze to ther mother hand. She holds it and caress it like it is a fragile thing. She moves her gaze from her mothers hand to her mothers face. She stare at her mothers eyes and asked.

As she looked upon her daughter, she suddenly remembered her friends daughter, Rona. The poor girl lost her mother just to help her enemy daughter escape from Joo Dantae. Honestly, she blamed herself for the misery that fall upon her and her family. She lost the most important person in her life because of her, her son break up with her because she told her son to do so. Now, half of her heart is broken. In 3 days, she will go far away from the cursed country that had kept Rona from her happiness.

They love each other very much. The love for their partners is bigger than what she could imagine. Otherwise, they would not willing to sacrifice for each other.
