Hope is gone for Ri Jeong Hyeok. He's back to North Korea and she was left in Seoul, trying not to collapse over his departure... Could there be a way to bring these two together? Or will Jeong Hyeok break the promise he made to his beloved woman?

- I'm worried about our son... We must do something about it, you know we must! He spends his days, working like a slave, I know he hardly sleeps and he's silent all the time...

Ri Choong-ryeol looked at his wife, moving his eyes away from the newspaper. He knew she was right. Ever since Jeong Hyeok had returned from South Korea, his son just wasn't the same anymore. Not that his attitude had changed, only his eyes were more sad, as if a dark shadow had taken over them and the sparkling had become dull.

- Should we talk to him?

- I've tried so many times but you know our son... always so polite and afraid to disturb us... he wouldn't want to bother us, but I feel we must do something about it. I just can't stand seeing him like this... so sad for being away from... you know who, from.

- Yoon Se Ri. He misses her. – It was nothing new. Ri Choong-ryeol d his wife had seen it that day when he thought about «dealing with her»... once and for all.

- If you saw what I saw... I understand this is not a fling... it's something deeper... it's...

- Mmmmm... I know what it is... you don't have to...

- It's love. Love. Like the one we had, when we got married. Remember? – his wife was being sarcastic. Yes, he did remember the way he had fallen for that beautiful actress, delicate as a lotus flower. The only thing was his flower was there, next to him, and he only had to convince her father to give him a chance... Yoon Se Ri was from an enemy country, and despite she was a beautiful woman, getting them together wasn't that easy...

- Talk to him. Please. We must find a way... Our son has to be happy...

- But, can't he be happy with a northern girl? A girl who shares our ideals and...

- Ri Choong-ryeol... listen to yourself. This is Se Ri we are talking about... do you think that after her, our son will have eyes for another woman?! Do you know your son, at all?

She was right, as usual. Jeong Hyeok was a sensitive man, ready to endure everything, to sacrifice himself for the ones he loved and he loved Se Ri.

- I'll talk to him. He's coming over today so let's have him for dinner, too...

His wife sighed, relieved. She immediately left, to give instructions to the cook to prepare Jeong Hyeok favourite dishes...

Three hours later, father and son were sitting, having some tea. Ri Choong-ryeol couldn't stop but staring his son, his eyes lost, as if he wasn't even there... His wife was right. Jeong Hyeok's body was there but all his heart and soul had remained in Seoul, with that beautiful, capitalist woman...

- Son... I have something to discuss with you...

Jeong Hyeok blinked twice, as if he had waken up from some sort of dream...

- Yes, father...

- How are you?

- Me? – he seemed surprised about the question so he chose to answer the most politically correct thing that came to his mind: - I'm fine, sir.

- No, you are not. You left half of you somewhere...

Jeong Hyeok stood in silence, unable to face his father. Kim Yoon-hee entered the living room, bringing some ginger biscuits her son loved so much and, when she was leaving, her husband asked her to stay...
