Kapitel 396: Forgiveness.

Hei-Ran couldn't imagine how A-Yeong had been living in the last seven years. She didn't want to imagine it. 

Hearing her ordeal, she realized that misunderstandings, no matter the fraction of it, doesn't just cause rifts in relationships but can destroy everything that had been built over the years, just like hers and A-Yeong's.

She realized that she might have acted a bit too selfishly with A-Yeong. She had been caught up in her pain so much that she didn't think about what changed in A-Yeong, or what could have brought up the changes in her. 

For someone she had claimed to know, she should have paid more attention to her when she returned as a whole different person because people didn't just change. Difficult situations in life sometimes leave us a whole new person — strangers we barely recognize even when we stand in front of a mirror.
