"The place I've always wanted to go?" min Joon muttered shortly after recalling the story from Jin Hee's friend.
"What place is that? The lake? Nah! I go there often," he muttered again, even when he was positioning his body in the most comfortable position Min Joon Still kept thinking until he finally fell asleep.

28 March 2013.
Min Joon woke up when the sky was still dark, he opened the window curtain and looked tiredly outwards. This year Min Joon has a new hobby of staring at windows wherever he is, hoping someone he is looking forward to will greet him.
He recalled the golden box and immediately opened it, he tried to re-try the date that Ji Yeon had told him. Unfortunately, none of the passwords matched that key.
He pondered for a moment, thinking about whether Jin Hee might be leaving behind a secret message and trying to ask her to solve this puzzle. On a whim, Min Joon tried to contact Ji Yeon. However, all he got was the news that the mother of one child was starting to return to work and was busy.

Min Joon got off in a hurry to go to work, 6 months ago he went back to his father's company and made a vicious deal. 'Min Joon will return to his parents' house, provided the father gives him full access to search for Jin Hee who was lost to the earth.'
"Are you getting ready, son?" The middle-aged woman dressed casually greeted Min Joon.
"Yes, where's Dad?" min Joon said as he looked at the dining table.
"He was staying at the office, he said there was a meeting with the client early in the morning. You two are the same. You become like your father too? Where would you go if you didn't go home. Min Joon, your dad said yesterday you didn't go to work?"
"Huh, I asked about dad. But my mother's answer was long. I have important business!" in short, sitting at the table.
"Eat," his mother pinta while giving bread that has been smeared with her favorite peanut butter.

While in the office, Min Joon can't concentrate, he looks quite riled up. Unable to bear it, Min Joon leaves the room to see his comrades.
From a distance the thick lipstick girl seemed to be waiting in front of the fax machine. His fingers slowly knocked on the workbench, as if impatiently waiting.
"What are you doing?" min Joon asked to say hello.
"You don't see the boss? I'm at work."
"If you had a safe what are the chances that you'd make the password?" min Joon asked suddenly.
"Me?" hyu Ri asked in silence. "If it were me .. I wouldn't tell you!" he said seriously and kept doing his job.
"Yes, you're right!" Min Joon created a sweet crack on his forehead.
"Why are you asking like that?"
"If it were me, I wouldn't tell you."
"Huh ... Park Min Joon!" hyu Ri said looking foolishly which was greeted with Min Joon's laughter. Min Joon watched the sheet of paper coming out of the fax machine.
"Is this company always accepting foreign investment funds?" min Joon asked, looking serious.
"Yes, as far as I know. Our company has opened several branch malls in several countries" Hyu Ri explained in response to Min Joon's question.
"How many countries work with companies?"
"There are many, but our fixed investor is 5. Why?" hyu Ri asked to see Min Joon.
"Say name!" his orders.
"Japan, China, Thailand, Indonesia and Italy?" Min Joon repeated Hyu Ri's words.
"Is something wrong? Seems like you've been working seriously lately? In all things." Hyu Ri looked at the fixated Min Joon.
Silent. There was no answer, only the sound of a photocopier was heard from outside the glass room that accompanied the two. Min Joon is suddenly a statue again. The bad habits are obvious. Hyu Ri knew for sure what this strange man had imagined.
"Indonesia, his mother had worked there. Italy, my father was there too. Maybe 'was?"
"Maybe 'does it?" Hyu Ri chased after the hanging expression that came out of her mouth.
"Even all the little things I've come across can make me miss him so much. Those little things made me remember all the memories of him."
"God! I thought, you were discussing work? It's about him!"
"Sorry for interrupting Miss Lee's work!"
"Do you love her so much?" sidelines Hyu Ri with a careful eye view.
"I don't know if this is love or guilt?"
"Maybe you should be serious about looking for it, you haven't looked serious all this time. Even though you live in her shadow, but you put her shadow behind your own!" hyu Ri said calmly.
"Putting his shadow behind my shadow?" Min Joon repeated Hyu Ri's statement.
"Yes, I mean. All this time you've been ignoring it and you've only been searching for a year. Hey, where have you been? If I were Jin Hee, I wouldn't be waiting for you!" she left Min Joon.
Min Joon felt something directly stuck in his stomach. How could a Lee Hyu Ri, the strangest girl he had ever met reveal such plausibility?
The girl who always made her boyfriend confide in her bad behavior at employee dinner. The girl who .. ah was already .. It seems like one of the wires in her head finally had a normal static flow.
The focus is on opening the box, that's the goal. Right, Min Joon has to start small before doing big things.

March 29, 2013.
This time, for the second time in a week Min Joon went to see Ji Yeon again and brought the box with him. Min Joon wanted to ascertain what exactly the password was to open the gold box.
Upon arrival at Ji Yeon's place, her house looked deserted, there was no sign that the occupants were in the house. Min Joon decides to contact Ji Yeon.
"Ji Yeon? Are you not home?" ask Min Joon, "i'm in front of your house! Now I'm pressing the bell."
"I'm at work! Do you need anything?"
"You're back at the restaurant?" ask Min Joon. Ji Yeon's voice sounded faint, only a boisterous voice she was able to catch.
"Min Joon's? Min Joon, there are many
"No. Just continue with your work! Sorry to interrupt" he hung up the phone. Min Joon was silent in front of Ji Yeon's house he stared at the hot road, without any more time Min Joon got into the car and went home.
***
In his large room, Min Joon sits contemplating what the right password would be for the box. On a whim, Min Joon tried the number '1202' and unexpectedly opened the gold box. That number is the combined date of birth of Jin Hee's mother and father. Patiently and carefully Min Joon opens the box cover slowly and finds some of Jin Hee's belongings.
