It is more than 20 years since Yoon Seri crash landed on Ri Jeong-hyeok and they have had everything they ever dreamed of: love, marriage, family and success. But can their love and family survive the unexpected challenges they must now face?
"How d...
He was walking through a garden, an orchard filled with ripening persimmons. Is this my grandfather's house? Yes, I think it is. But it looks in a better state than I remember. Maybe they've had some work done, some repairs. Those persimmons look delicious. I used to love that, picking the fruit from the tree, perfectly ripe. The persimmons here always tasted the best. Is grandfather here? Oh yes, there he is at the bottom of the garden. Wearing a hat to keep the sun off him. Still limping a little, but not using his stick. Maybe his leg is feeling better. Who else is here?
He walked through the orchard looking about, the old house with the wall around the garden and the more modern city grown around it. But he could still see the hills. He and Mu used to have fun playing on the hillside. When it got to dusk, you could see the rabbits come out if you hid and kept quiet. He smiled, happy times.
Ah, there were his parents, sitting together near the house, enjoying the cool shade. They looked as if they had a jug of refreshing juice. That would be nice. Mother looks happy, that's good. The pain must have gone from her too. Father looks relaxed - work and responsibility always weighed so heavily on him. Things must be going well. It's good to see him like that. Perhaps I'll join them soon, but it's pleasant here amongst the trees.
He heard steps behind him and turned round.
"Mu! It's so wonderful to see you! It's been years! How are you?"
Mu smiled.
"I'm good! This is a surprise, but it's great to see you, little brother. I've missed your piano performances. Perhaps you can play for us later?"
"I'd like that. But grandfather doesn't have a piano does he? It was mother's parents who had the piano."
"Oh, don't worry about that! If you want a piano, we can find one for you."
"Oh, that's good. I hate being without it."
Mu grinned.
"I remember! But shall we can go for a walk on the hills first?"
"Yes, let's do that."
Mu slung his arm about his shoulders and the two brothers walked across the garden, heading for the hills.

It seemed to be dark. He seemed to be on his own. Where was Mu? Where had his grandfather's house gone? He wanted to sit with his parents and drink the juice. Why had Mu left him?
It seemed to be getting lighter.
He was in an abandoned building. He was holding a gun. There was a man lying on the ground in front of him, covered in blood, murmuring, holding out his hand to him.
"Let us leave together."
Did he know the way to his grandfather's house and the persimmon trees? Should he go with him?
