Hae In found herself hearing the sound of the waves hitting the shores. Strangely, there wasnt anyone on the beach. She looked all around and realised she was all alone.

Where has she seen this beach before? It is so strangely familiar yet she can't recall where it was. She sat on the sand near the shore and as she was playing with the sand like how she used to when she was younger, she noticed someone walking towards her. Oh, finally there's someone.
"Hae In ah.. Were you missing me?", he asked & sat beside her. This man looked so familiar but Hae In doesn't really know who he is. Or does she? Hae In stared at his face for awhile. She was clearly examining him to tinkle her foggy brain to recognise him. Then she stumble upon a long healed surgical scar on his left arm. She recognised that scar! It was when her oppa tried to carry her on the monkey bar but had a fall, instead and fracture his left arm. Her parents banned the playground forever.
"Oppa, is that you?" Hae In smiled & started tearing. Oh she missed him so much.
"How did you know it is me? My sister is still the little smarty pants.. I'm here.. Don't cry Hae In ah.." Soo Wan comforted her, gently wiping her tears.
"I miss you so much oppa. There is no one who loves me like you do..You were always there for me, rain or shine. Even though Eomma, Appa & I are much better now, I still feel there is some tension between us.. we still get abit awkward around each other... And SooCheol.. is.."
"A DORK!!", they both exclaimed at the same time.
They used to disturb how silly Soo Cheol is because he is the maknae and their parents most pampered, overprotected child.
"Oppa is so proud of you, uri Hae In-ie. Despite how Appa & Eomma treated you, you came out more determined than ever. I disagree with how they treated you by the way. You fought through cancer, you found someone who truly loves you & you are on the way to become a mother, again..."
"You married a good man, Hae In. He can't live without you. He would die for you if he could. Hyun Woo is definitely a keeper.."
"You knew? Well, of course you knew. But there are days when I want to celebrate all these success with you oppa because I know you'll be proud of me.." Hae In teared.
"I'm in your heart always, Hae In ah. Don't ever forget that. I will always be proud of the things you do because I'm your brother.. "
"Uri Hae In-ie, I want to tell you that you didn't cause me to drown. I hit my head in the water & that was it. It wasn't you. Don't let anyone tell, you did that. Don't blame yourself for this anymore.."
Her brother must have known her guilt all these years especially with how her mother treated her & shunned her away after he passed away.
"You will always be the one I want to protect, hmm.. we'll meet again in due time, Hae In.. but not so soon, ok? I'll pick you up when you are ready.. " Soo Wan pats his sister's head & wiped her tears.
