“Dad, you can’t just go out without saying anything.”
Do Jun grumbled, his eyes still heavy with sleep.

Even before going to the nursing home, it was always a big fuss whenever Mr. Park left the house on a whim.

“That damn kid is crazy.”
Regardless of what his son said, he kept mumbling with a strange smile on his face.

Hae Joo’s consciousness became faint.

It couldn’t possibly be the same crazy guy Do Jun had told Yura about.

That goodfornothing who was hated in the neighborhood disappeared one day. Hae Joo, who was not good with words, could never ask about him.

“Dad, there are mosquitoes because it’s summer. Let’s go inside.”
“Hae Joo says so. Well……”
“Sir, it’s a full moon! Can you see it?”
“Uhm?”
Hae Joo hastily cut off Mr. Park’s words.

With her hardlearned acting skills, she pointed at the big, round moon and babbled on.

“It seems to be a super moon. They say if you make a wish on such a day, it will come true.”
“Oh, if our daughterinlaw says so, it must be true.”
Mr. Park clasped his hands together, following Hae Joo. He then began to pray more sincerely than anyone else.

“Please keep our daughterinlaw healthy and allow her to give birth to three healthy grandchildren.”
To bear three children.

Such a prayer was like a death sentence for her as an actress.

“Please keep our eldest son even healthier, and make our second son stop fighting.”
Do Jun, who was standing behind them with his arms crossed, chuckled. Hae Joo and Mr. Park surprisingly got along pretty well.

“Does your second son get into a lot of fights?”
“Don’t even get me started. He beat up so many kids, they ended up sending him straight to the army.”
“Oh, is that so.”
Mr. Park’s aimless reminiscing about the past continued.

Unable to listen any further, Do Jun interrupted.

“Dad, let’s go inside now.”
“Huh? When did you get your leave?”
It was draining for Do Jun to listen to Mr. Park’s stories. The constant switching between past and present made it hard to keep up.

“Am I Lee Jun, or Do Jun?”
“How dare you! You’re Do Jun.”
“Yes, I’m Do Jun.”
“You’re not still trading stocks, are you?”
“Oh, this is driving me crazy.”
“How many times have I told you that trading stocks is like gambling?”
“I got it, so let’s go inside.”
Do Jun led Mr. Park into the living room.

As he was about to close the door, he turned to Hae Joo, who was standing there in a daze, and asked,

“Are you going to stay out here longer?”
“Yes.”
Only Hae Joo remained in the garden surrounded by tall walls.

Finally, she could relax, swaying slightly.

According to Do Jun, Mr. Park may mix up Do Jun and Lee Jun, but he is quite clear about the incidents that occurred in the past. Especially about the events before Lee Jun left the world, which he repeated until his mouth went dry.

It seemed he had dementia, but he hadn’t completely lost his mind.

“Could it be that Mr. Do Jun was that person?”
Small scars and calluses were embedded on Do Jun’s hand and arm.

He thought it was from working out, but it seemed not.

A heavy feeling welled up in his chest.

An indescribable emotion rose, and suddenly his heart ached.

“Don’t hastily judge just by what that man says. But why……”
There was a time when Do Jun asked whether they each had someone they were dating.

At the time, Hae Joo had spoken as if she had been dating a crazy guy, just like she heard from Yura.

Of course, she later said that wasn’t true.

Do Jun, who heard that story, didn’t seem to have much to say, or did he?

“I feel strange.”
There was no reason for Do Jun to trick her with such a thing.

At that time, their respective situations were not conducive to understanding each other.

Judging from President Park’s words, he who had declared himself a crazy man for Hae Joo had disappeared after enlisting…

“So that’s why he disappeared.”
Hae Joo sat down under the eaves.

Flames rose and extinguished in her chest in a cycle.

From a young age, regardless of gender, they were drawn to Hae Joo’s beautiful appearance. And once they realized that Kyungae treated Hae Joo recklessly, two reactions came out.

They either harassed her the same way or used her.

As a result, Hae Joo couldn’t open her heart to anyone and became isolated.

When she hit puberty, these symptoms reached a peak.

That’s when she heard the story of the crazy guy.

The hero who was invisible only to Hae Joo…

“Was it Mr. Do Jun?”
He who reappeared before Hae Joo showed no reaction.

He didn’t even say that he was the one who held her hand at the rooftop railing.

If Hae Joo hadn’t dreamed, she would never have known.

It took years for the two to meet again.

It was due to a marriage relationship that Hae Joo was unaware of.

That day at the government office, why Lee Jun had registered his marriage under his younger brother’s name. Sadly, the dead could not speak.

“What should I do?”
Now she began to understand a little of Do Jun’s behavior she had seen over time.

Even so, it was still hard to be sure.

“Aren’t you sleeping?”
“You surprised me. I was just about to sleep.”
