He hoped he could be one of those stars. With a relieved smile and gaze, he tried to let his body fall forward from the edge of the building top before a girl's voice startled him. "Do you believe in second chances?" "???" A mysterious girl appeared with the moon as her background, offering Sunwon a second chance to start over.

Will he not be abandoned, and... Who is Luna, really? Why did she suddenly appear and give Sunwon a second chance? By author: MirinAi All characters and this book are the copyright of MirinAi.
