Chapter 45: Mister Kwak's Suspicion

"Are you crying? What happened to you? Why are you suddenly crying? Tell Uncle quickly, what is causing you to be sad like this," said Mr. Kwak.

"Forgive me, Uncle. I--'I can't accompany Uncle to lunch," Mi Ra said while wiping her tears.

"What is this again?! Didn't Kyung Joon tell you the truth last night, he even apologized to you. So now, why are you confusing me with your awkward attitude?" Mr. Kwak shook his head, took a deep breath and then rested his head roughly on the seat.

"I--I want to tell Uncle and Aunt about ... my past," Mi Ra replied quietly.

"Your past? I don't understand what you mean," replied Mr. Kwak confused.

"Actually, I've been hiding this for a dozen years, but I don't dare to tell anyone including my own parents," Mi Ra explained as she lowered her head, she felt bad for having to reveal her dark secret to Mr. Kwak and Mrs. Ahn at the same time less precise.
