Kapitel 377: The Last Mission (2)

Kanji was silently trying to gather his emotions. The pain he felt was unbearable. He wanted to reach out and touch her, tell her the truth but the thought of her reaction was preventing him. How would she feel when she learnt that he was dead and now stuck in a limbo as a ghost? 

She wanted to see him but once he confessed, they would never be able to see each other again. He would be gone to another world, far away from her whereas she would be left alone to live a long life without him.

Haejong read his dilemma. For once, he pitied Kanji and there was a strange kinship he felt. With Kanji's death, the way to Mina should have been clear for him but he knew that it was futile. Mina loved Kanji in a way she would never love someone else. He had learnt long ago that no matter how much he tried, he could never replace Kanji's place in her life.
