While I stayed at the underground chapel, Ji-Ah was always there. However, my uncle only briefly came to show his face on Saturday. According to my uncle’s explanation, he was busy bringing in the Gyeonggi Branch executive hiding overseas, so the situation didn’t permit him to be at the underground chapel. He seemed noticeably worn out since I last saw him.
"Why are you working so hard?" I asked out of curiosity.
I couldn't understand why my uncle was putting in so much effort. From what I knew, he wasn't the type of person to sacrifice himself for others.

"Sure. I’m not helping them because I want to. I just felt sorry for them..."
"What are you trailing on so much for? Do you like this person?"
"I knew you would say that. It's not like that."
