That morning the air was very cold with the rain peeping down from the sky. Every drop of it soaked the streets and plantations around Daniel's house. Actually that day J.O was about to make a new passport for Mika. He has promised that if his mission ends, he will bring Mika to America to gather with his extended family. They will also be officiating their wedding there. However, due to Mika's status and the state of Mika who does not hold important documents such as her birth certificate and ID card, she decides to make a fake passport.
Daniel had a friend who was an expert at creating mock documents. Name's Brugh. However, Brugh does not serve just anyone. He just wants to make it for some of his acquaintances. Because the person knew, there was a severe penalty if he carelessly printed a fake passport. After the rain subsided, J.O Daniel and Mika set out to meet Brugh at his house. They are quite far past some city bridges. On the way, Mika looks out through the window of the car. He saw some school children his age. Mika was a little dreamy, she should have finished her last class and school exam. After that he can continue his studies or immediately work.
Jack saw that Mika was daydreaming staring out the window. She knew Mika was looking at girls in school uniforms on every street. Jack felt very guilty about his little wife. It was she who took Mika's future so she left her school. With all consideration, Jack decided to give Mika a chance to continue her school. Almost seven months ago Mika left her school activities.
"Did you miss your school?" ask Jack.
"What's? Ah, no. I just saw them" Mika tried to lie to her feelings.
Jack's large right hand grabbed Mika's delicate hand and grasped her tightly. The girl turned her head for a moment towards Jack, then again threw her gaze towards the school invitation bus. Jack is convinced that he must change his plans. He thought, couldn't he go back to America after Mika graduated from college? It's just a matter of delaying the return schedule, right? With a single breath, he said to Daniel.
"I don't think we're going to Brugh's house right now" Jack told Daniel.
"Why,,,,"
Daniel looked at Jack who was sitting at the back and quickly gestured for him to look towards Mika. He could see that Mika was daydreaming staring out the window. He finally knew what his friend meant. He pursed his lips and turned to the original route. Mika senses the change in route that Daniel did.
"Are we turning back?" ask Mika wonder.
"We're not going to America right now. I'll give you a chance to continue your school year. Then you can also choose your college major while we register our marriage." replied Jack wanted to entertain.
"Trust. I'll never regret it if it makes you happy."

They reached Daniel's house again, but only to drive his friend home. Next, Jack will go to Bong Cheol's residence. Because all Mika's school equipment is there. Jack immediately stepped on the full gas and immediately drove fast on the streets. Several cars seemed to go hand in hand with Jack's car. When Mika started enjoying her journey. The rain came down very hard.
Until he reached the Bong residence, the place looked deserted. Jack parked his car near the front porch of the mansion. He took off his shirt to protect Mika. So that the girl was not wet with rain water.
Jack jumped onto the porch by tightly holding Mika's arm. The sound of thunder that seemed to be blasting in the sky made Mika feel frightened. She hugged Jack, her husband.
"I'm scared. Please don't let me go Jack." he asked.
"Yes, I'll hold you. Comein. It's so cold out here." Jack locked the car.
The two of them stepped in slowly. The house looks so quiet. The whole room downstairs there were no servants on duty. They set foot up the stairs to the upper room. The place is empty too. No one was there. The two of them headed to Mika's room to change into dry clothes. But since Mika's room only has women's clothes, Jack goes to Bong's room to look for clothes. He entered and closed the door of a room so big as a king's room. After choosing several models of clothes, Jack finally changed clothes that were quite suitable for him. A black shirt and pants that are also black.
Jack seemed to be done with his business and then he left Bong's room. But he saw the safe where the money Bong stored. He also saw some documents on the table in the room. According to his feelings, those were important documents belonging to Bong. Out of curiosity, he opened sheet by sheet from his paper.
