Its been a week, since the girls arrived in Seoul, South Korea. The members especially Mina decided to pay a visit to Mrs. Son, who's living away from the city. Mrs. Son told them a story about her family.
So, auntie, how did you know that he is deceiving you?!! Jeongyeon curiously asked.
Well, a month after the incident. He was out of town. I received a letter for him saying that the sender needs the another payment of 1 billion won for his work. At first, I don't know what it is. But, another letter was sent to him. Telling that he will tell to the police everything. I got scared.
Then, the last letter. The sender attach a photos of broken car brakes and my daughter's car plate number. I got scared and terrified about it. I ran away and went to the nearest police station for help. Mrs. Son shakily uttered.
The members were shocked that they didn't say anything.
Honestly, it was my fault. If I did listen to Fred's warning, Chaeyoung will still be here with us! I'm sorry. All this time, all he wanted was to let our daughter the best she can be. Mrs. Son said crying her pain and regrets as a mother.
Mrs. Son? So, Does it mean he killed Chaeyoung? Does Chaeyoung's biological father knows it? Oh my God! What did Cheyoung did for him to do that?!! Jihyo asked trying not to be emotional but angry.
I did, Jihyo-ssi. Honestly, I didn't understand why he has to do that but as Fred shared to me that he is terminally ill. I finally understand that the ownership of the Son Group is still his top priority. I really thought that he finally given it up.
So.. So, he killed Chaeyoung because of that?!! Nayeon asked.
Mrs. Son just nodded.
Oh my god. Now, I'm finally understanding what's happening. So, what about Katarina? Jeongyeon asked while tears kept falling in her eyes.
Katarina?! That's Chaeyoung.
I mean. Chaeyoung's twin sister. Jeongyeon added.
What are you saying? Katarina is Chaeyoung's english name. She's an only child. Mrs. Sin exclaimed.
Eh?!!! But, we met her in Budapest. Everyone, tell her. Nayeon commented.
Mrs. Son - she is alive. Mina shakily said.
Chaeyoung is alive.
Wait- Mina?! What are you saying? Come on! Jihyo asked confused.
Like she said. Chaeyoung is an only child. Mina calmly uttered.
Mrs. Son, Chaeyoung is alive. Mina said looking at her.
Yah! Don't joke around. She's dead. All of you, you saw her dead body in the hospital. Momo, you saw it, right?! Mrs. Son uttered in disbelief.
I don't know what happened that night and whose body it is but I'm positive that it wasn't Chaeyoung. She survive but she can't remember anything! Mina said and took her phone to let Mrs. Son see a photo of Katarina.
Mrs. Son shakily reached the phone and dropped it to her surprise upon seeing the photo.
No way!!! Jihyo, Nayeon and Jeongyeon shouted.
My daughter is alive?! Mina? My daughter, Chaeyoung? She's alive! Mrs. Son said while shaking Mina.
Mina nodded with tears in her eyes and smiling.
