Yuna had a hard time getting used to Eunho’s appearance. She remembered the first time she met him. He appeared out of nowhere and he seemed mysterious. In all of her lifetimes, she had never met anyone more beautiful than he was. She was an ugly duckling compared to his beauty.

There were a few things she noticed about him. Although he seemed cold and distant, she noticed that he seemed to genuinely care about her. They hadn’t known each other for long, but oddly, she felt like they’d known each other for much longer. She also liked that he didn’t act like a boy his age.

It was extremely difficult trying to spend time with kids. She couldn’t understand their logic because she had already lived two other lives. Eunho seemed to act more like an adult. She wondered what could possibly have happened for him to be so different from other kids.

Did he maybe have siblings back home that needed for him to grow up fast? She went through all the memories and encounters with Eunho. She remembered talking to Eunho about his past when they first met. Eunho didn’t like talking about his past. It seemed that talking about his parents only made him upset. He didn’t seem to have any parental figure to guide him.

Yuna oddly felt the need to protect him. She knew that he was more than capable of protecting himself. He was a strong martial artist, and she didn’t need to protect him from any harm. What she wanted to protect wasn’t his life, but his own self. She knew what it was like. She was constantly beating herself up over things that were out of her control.

It seemed that Eunho was also struggling with the same thing. His parents weren’t there for him and it seemed that he was beating himself up over it. Yuna didn’t want him to feel the same emotions that she had felt. She wasted a whole lifetime feeling this way. She doubted herself on many occasions.

She wondered if maybe it was her fault that no one truly cared about her. It could’ve been that she wasn’t adequate enough for anyone to care about her. The man she had loved wasn’t interested and the cousin she thought was her best friend was not really a friend at all. She had no control over their feelings. Over time she realized that none of this was in her control. The only thing she could do was control herself and what she wanted in life. Yuna realized that no matter how much she wanted someone to like her and to care for her, it wasn’t in her control.

Eunho seemed to be in the same predicament. She didn’t know how to talk about his parents without him getting upset. The only thing she could do was wait for him to open up to her. She wasn’t going to force him to talk about his past. She wanted to wait till he was ready.
