MASKS (Pent House 1-)

Familiar faces

Seol-Ah and Rowoon had taken a detour to the graveyard after spending time catching up with one another after two years.

It had been the place Seol had wanted to see the most upon returning to South Korea. 

She  stood before her mother's grave. Various flowers had been laid there and photos of her . She read what was written on  the heading.

Shim Suryeon rests here. The Hera of Penthouse

In the last two years , she had wanted to pay her respects given Logan had rushed her out of the country before the funeral to protect her. She had felt guilty not being able to say good bye

Seol stared at the photos of her mother and couldn't help but smile seeing the flowers and messages people had left her. Shim Suryeon was indeed an angel a real gem that shined in the Penthouse.

"I'm sorry mom.  I never came to visit you not even once." Her voice was a whisper, "I'm sorry." Seol laid a bouquet of  flowers next to the grave.

She could still remember the last time she saw her mom alive. The awful feeling she had felt back then before she left the suite- if only she had persuaded her not to go to the gallery that morning , if she hadn't ignored that feeling that warned her something bad was going to happen perhaps

"I really miss you mom. I'm going to fulfill my dreams just like you wanted me to. "  She then wiped the tears that were coming . "I'll do my best to get Mr. Joo punished what he did to you."

"Come on." Rowoon said

Seol laid her head on her boyfriend's shoulder , "i really miss her Rowoon."

"I know you do."

Rowoon looked at the photo of Ms Shim. She was really a kind woman in the sea of vile people who lived in Hera Palace. He had grown up respecting his father's friend more then his own parents.

He turned to his girlfriend interlocking their fingers , "do you want me to escort you back to your hotel?"

"Just to the car. The driver is waiting."

"Sure."

The young couple smiled at one another : they had enough time to make up for the two years in which they had spent apart.

The next morning ,  Min Seol Ah couldn't believe she had came to Hera Palace but from what Rowoon told her , Rona and her mother had moved back to the penthouse on the 45th floor.

Seeing the statue of Hera immediately brought back memories of her landing in it's statute. 

Seol shook her head , "no. " Now wasn't the type to relive traumatic memories but rather reach out to a friend . She went into the elevator and got off to her destination.

"Min ....Min Seol Ah?"

"Ms. Oh." Her voice was cold and distant.

While she believed in the woman's innocence in her mother's murder at the end of the day Ms Oh had pushed her off from the 47th floor and played a role in losing her memory.

"Min Seol Ah." Yoon Hee blabbered before composing herself , " What are you doing here?"

"Who is it? "Dr Ha said standing next to her , "Oh Min Seol Ah." He smiled.

Seol had flashbacks almost every night since her memories came back two years ago when Dr. Ha and Attorney Lee put her in a body bag and dropping her into the river to discard her body without regarding if she was still breathing or not. 

She looked at the couple - two people who had almost killed her.

What a match indeed. She thought to herself.
