I stole the key from Mom.
We wore black outfits—not to look like burglars, but just enough to avoid being noticed. Honestly though, we did look like thieves.
Inside the office, I quickly searched for recent files. Please... please let it be here... And then—thank God. We found it.
A photograph.
The same boy I saw in my previous life. Clipped to the corner of a thick, sealed file.
His name was Choi Kang-Dae.
Age: 14
Height: 6'
Black hair. Blue eyes—like the sea, but cold like ice.
But why was he on the wanted list? He is just a child, what crime did he commit. What is this file?
This… this was the boy my mother saved.
My mother wasn't the type to save criminals. No—if he was a criminal… was it him? Was he the one who killed her?
I took photos of the file and his picture on my phone. I turned to Ha-rin. "Let's go."
I'd told Mom I was staying over at Ha-rin's, so we went straight to her house.
But I couldn't sleep that night.
Not a blink.
My mind was racing. What am I going to face? What really happened to my mother?
And worst of all—
We only have 28 days left to save her.
