Prologue
"At the end of the day, kinship is a really strange thing.
It is the fetters that bind two people tightly together.
At the same time, it also places a cruel chasm which is impossible to cross, between two people.
When I was young, I used to feel fortunate to have such a doting elder brother who treated me as the apple of his eye. I thought I was the most blessed girl in the whole world.
Now that I've grown up, I hate the fact that the same blood flows within me and the man whom I love with my whole being.
We've traveled the same road, loving each other all that way, and erred all that way.
From ignorant affection and girly adoration, to a strong desire for us to be together always, to the time that the things of the world barged in and heartlessly pulled us apart.
How far away is forever?
Eternity can exist in a single thought.
Even a lapse of judgment can result in shame.
