"You shouldn't be so judgemental", Jihae tells Ten.

"What do you expect, I'm a foreigner?" He replies.

The stranger had just told her that his initial impressions of Jihae was that she was a arrogant, spoilt teenager, yet now he believes her to have a "good soul".

"So... You're a Christian?" He asks.

"Yeah, so?" She smiles.

"Well, I didn't know Christianity was a big thing in South Korea. There are a lot of churches there though"

"Hm. There aren't many churches, but yes, Christianity is the second most popular religion... I think"

"So you're lying?"

"If it's wrong, then I'm lying"

Ten rolls his eyes at the girl.

"So what is this place?"

"Did you not see on the train? And the many signs we passed?"

"I wasn't concentrating on the train. And we were too busy running to notice the signs"

"Ten..."

"Hm?"

"It doesn't matter anymore"

"Okay.     Jihae?"

"Yeah?"

"Out of interest.  Who died?"

Jihae knew that Ten was referring to the person that was important to Jihae who was no longer breathing. Though she had no idea he would ask.

"Someone very important to me - my grandmother"

"Oh. Really?"

"Yes, really"

"Someone very close to me too"

"I know"

"It was also my grandmother. She was the only family I had left"

"Oh, Ten"

"Yes?"

"Nothing. I'm sorry"

"Why? You did nothing wrong"

"Stop being so literal. Anyway, let's go. By the way"

"Yes?"

"I need to admit something"

"Yes?"

"I don't know where we are", but after seeing the alarmed look on Ten's face, her tone changes. "But I'll know how to get home!"

Weirdly, her overconfidence provided unnerve for Ten.

"Mm. Okay", Ten says.
