EPISODE 46

*** JULIA'S POV ***

I wasn't feeling good. I felt like I was beaten to hell a thousand times, my head ached like it was about to explode when actually... it was blank and... empty. Without memories, it was just a sheet of pitch darkness.

Somehow... I ended up listening to a music that felt so strange yet so familiar. For the first time... after the tragic accident I can't even remember, I felt comforted.

Since then, I felt alive.

And uncle... knows that more than anyone.

"Where are you going?" Dongwoo keeps on asking, but I just keep on running... though not sure where should I go.

Should I go to uncle?

"Ji Ae!"

I didn't know I stopped on running until he approaches me, "Ji Ae..."

"Exactly... who is she?" I ask myself, sitting down and feeling tired of running...of everything.

Sitting down in front of me, he holds my shoulder "are you okay?"

I just shook my head. I'm not okay... how can I be okay?

"I'll bring you to hospital, you look pale---"

Standing up, "No... I hate the smell of hospitals..."

"Ji Ae?"

Something feels like stirring my heart at hearing him call me in that somehow very soothing tone.

I turn to look at him, "Do I really look like Ji Ae?"

Arriving at the hotel, it didn't surprise me to see him at the lobby... carrying my bag.

"Julia..."

I turned and took my bag, "Julia?"

He looks at his wristwatch, "Hurry, you're going to miss your flight. Get your things fast, I'll drive you to airport..."

"Okay. I'll go back..."

And for the first time today, he smiles... "Good decision---"

Cutting him off, "...in one condition"

"Whatever it is, I'll give it to you..."

Right. Uncle always gives me everything I want. Still, why after all these years of getting everything that I want, it felt like 'everything' is not enough. Something always feels missing.

"I dont want anything... except the truth..." I paused to scan him. As always, uncle keeps a blank expression.

I continued, "Are you...Woollim's CEO?"

He answered after a moment, "No. I'm not..."

"I'll repeat, are you Woollim's CEO or not?!"

"Stop speaking nonsense!"

Lifting my bag, "Then where did you get my bag, tell me!?"

"I got it from the CEO at the police station who settled you out..."

"...you told me YOU settled me out!"

"I settled you out after convincing their CEO, enough?"

I'm speechless. Uncle... how can you---

Cutting my thoughts, he hands me the plane ticket "Now. Get your things in your room because you're goddamn late for your flight."

"I'm sorry uncle..."
