Chapter 9

Jung-hoo retorts that he's already tracked down three girls for the client, but Min-ja reminds him that they were all false leads. This time, though, she thinks she's got a good possibility for a girl adopted twenty years ago who fits the bill. Plus, it's an appealing option since they'll get paid for the DNA sample regardless of whether it's a match.

Jung-hoo isn't hopping to get on the job, but he realizes that he's still got to make more money before his dreams of island paradise are realized.

And then we cut to Young-shin, who explains her second dream being to locate her birth parents. She loves her naggy dad, but is curious to know who her parents were, ask why they abandoned her, and to meet them once. Just to know.

In the morning, Young-shin runs along the sidewalk and thinks to herself that both her dreams seem distant and unattainable, but she'll be keeping the faith. She'll work hard, and if it happens, it'll be her fate.

As she barrels along to the bus stop, we see through the Healer's fancy info-glasses that Young-shin is the one he's looking for. His reports find that she's curiously absent from social media accounts ("She can't be normal!"), and her face gets positively matched by the computer software as she makes it onto the bus.

"Bingo!" he thinks, as he boards the bus after her. The bus lurches, and she falls, quite literally, into his arms.
