She was confused. That was something she did not expect. How come Carter was also Doc Darryl? "Those were the pictures he sent me when we chatted,” she whispered softly and slowly sat on the bed. “He was a cousin of my friend. Jaimee was kind. She…she won’t fool me like this.”
It was her last vestige of hope that Doc Darryl might still be real. But she could see the past seven years slowly crumbling down before her. The world she built with Doc Darryl collapsed. It was like she was slipping down a cliff and she couldn’t find anything to hold on to. All their fun conversations, their sweet messages, and even that time when he said he likes her, was that all just an illusion? All this time, she had been mourning a person who doesn’t even exist?
Carter's gaze was still fixed on her. She felt like a fraud. Does he think she was a stalker and she just made up Doc Darryl to be with him?
"Have you seen him in person or even in chat?" he asked.
She hugged herself. “N-no, I haven’t. I don't like video chats. It was my personal choice. I had insecurities then and I’m worried that he might not like me if he saw how I look like. I don’t want to look stupid. I can express myself better through words. When we were about to meet, it was when he died.”
He still didn’t look convinced. “You didn’t even bother to confirm it? You didn’t even check if what he was saying to you over your chats were true…”
“Jaimee knows. She told me he was her cousin. And don’t look at me as if I am some lunatic. That I am crazy to love an imaginary person. I was young then. I put my faith in a friend. At that time, it felt so real. He was real. And it never crossed my mind that everything was just made up.”
"Because the was too perfect?" he said, sarcasm was visible in his voice. “I knew. Because there was no such perfect person as him who exists. Most of the time, everything is just an illusion.” 
She wasn’t sure if he was still talking about Doc Darryl.
“I mourned for him for six years, Carter. Six years I have not let any man come into my heart. And you think I’m crazy? I'm not your stalker. It was my first time seeing you on that train. I swear! It's all a coincidence.”
He brushed his face with his hands. "And you didn't tell me I looked like the man you love."
“What do you want me to do? Tell you on our first meeting that the man I love whose grave I was gonna visit looks like you? When even with just that, it already sounded creepy to you.”
“How about after that? We have been through a lot…”
"I was planning to tell you after we visited Doc Darryl’s grave."
“You won’t be able to visit Doc Darryl’s grave because there was no Darryl Kang who existed. No Kang Jung Rin. He was just a big lie created by someone for fun just to make a fool out of you. And I was also a victim here.”
"What about me? I already like you, Cheska. I even considered going home to the Philippines just to be with you,” he said with a pained in his voice. "I was already planning on telling omma when we return to Seoul."
“M-me too. I also told my friend that I am considering working here in Korea. I want to be with you.”
“Am I really the one you want to be with, Cheska? Or is it Doc Darryl’s ghost?”
She shook her head slowly. “N-No. Of course you are the one I want to be with.”
“Is that why you didn't get off Gimpo then because you saw that I looked like Doc Darryl? Is that why you came with us all the way to our house because you were thinking you were with Doc Darryl somehow when I’m with you? Is that why you’re always happy when we’re together because you were thinking I was Doc Darryl? Is that why you like me because you feel like Doc Darryl came back to life again and you can continue loving him?”
"At first. Yes, I admit that when I saw you on the train, I felt like I had gone crazy. When I hugged you, it felt like I hugged Doc Darryl too. Can you blame me? He was never a tangible part of my life. We never met. I wasn’t able to touch him. I wasn’t able to tell him I love him. And it was like he lived again in you. I also feel like became alive again because a part of me felt like it died when Doc Darryl suddenly disappeared from my life. 
“But that was just my initial reaction. I realized that you and Doc Darryl were different when I saw Min Ji. Because I know that if it was Doc Darryl, he would choose me over her even if I wasn't that pretty. And it hurts me. I got jealous. My insecurity returned. I haven't felt that way in a long time. The night before Park Gung arrived, I was already looking for a hotel to stay in. Because you've been taking over whatever I feel for Doc Darryl. And I don’t want to lose that feeling. I don't want to ruin his memory.”
