Epilogue

- Kang Dae | 5 years later

I never imagined myself to be the hero in anyone's story...or a father of four. Though, our fourth one is still in her mother's womb.

Is it wrong of me not to feel a speck of guilt for being selfishly happy?

Players don't necessarily stay that way until the end, and if anyone told me years ago that I would become a devoted husband, a selfless father, and a friend to someone…I would have called them crazy and unrealistic.

I was at the top of the world. Why did I need something as useless as love?

But it's true. And I was wrong.

My name is Yun Kang-Dae. And somehow over the years, I became a reformed individual. I gained true happiness. I achieved my dreams as a renowned architect. I'm still rich as Croesus, I have a beautiful wife and a brood of vibrant children who tells me they love me every day.

Change can be a good thing — life's gift to us in this unfair world.

My parents were a walking advertisement for a speedy divorce, killing any expectations I had of love. I even went along with a loveless first marriage and had a son out of cold obligation.

What a nightmare.

Until I met my hellcat, my wife.

It turns out the only woman I ever fall in love with, is madly and irrevocably in love with me too. And I thank my lucky stars for that.

Now that you've read our story, will you see people and things in a different light? A villain could be misunderstood, and the good guy might be a monster in hiding.

It's what you make of it, that counts.

"Dae! Come down, quick!" My wife screams from below.

Scrambling to my feet, I rush down the stairs. "Is it the baby? Is she coming?"

Aera stands by the window, the phone resting on her rounded belly. Tears stream down her face. Worried, I pace to her side. "What's wrong?"

"It's the hospital." Her blurry eyes meet mine, miraculous joy making the blue more prominent. "Dad's awake! The doctor wants us to head over right now."

This is wonderful news. Yang Suk-Chin has been asleep for nearly six years. It's about time he returns to the world of the living.

"Call your mom and grab our coats." I plant a comforting kiss on her forehead. "I'll get the children."

- THE END.
