[Jessica's point of view]
"By the way Jong Hyun," I took my hand off his lips, "Why do you use your 'seen name' and not your 'golden name' here?" I tried changing the subject.
Although I really was trying to change the subject and save myself from more embarrassment, I put out a question I really wondered about for years but had not let myself ask him out of respect for his privacy.
He was different from all of us. We would sit and chat together most of the time, but he will not do it as much. We thought maybe he was an introvert, but that did not seem to be the case.
Jong Hyun has a marvelous personality that he could make anyone neal to him without even them noticing. The love he had for us was conveyed by him like a poem given to a girl from a lover in an ancient dynasty. His emotions flew around him more than his actions. They were deep enough for them to speak and write. I admired his manners and hoped everyone would be like him. Someone worth your respect.
"My 'seen name'... I like it better... my 'golden name' just doesn't express me well."
"Cecil Gold... that's his 'golden name'. Isn't that right Kim Jong Hyun?" Asami stressed on her vowels.
"You remember it... You know it's just that I like the name my mother gave me. I'm her only son who she thinks... is dead... Knowing how she may be feeling, I don't want my name to die like my existence. I like it more than anything in my life now."
Jong Hyun surprised me. With every word he spoke, you can feel the love he had for himself. Even more, the love he had for his mother. It must have been hard for him to state all that but at the same time, he held himself together like never before. The fact that he did not run away from my question made me admire him even more than I did already.

[ACF's point of view]
The Golden House was a person too. It changed every day as its people changed. It gazed at us from above; out of our reach. Protected us when we were unaware. Embraced every part of its golden people. It was a home I missed.
No matter how many times you look at it, it was there. The feelings between every golden person I had met and the rest of the golden people. Their voices filled the place with a passion that you can not deny. They, themselves, try to deny, yet it fails every time. "I don't like him." "I don't really like her," they say with their functional voices, but you can still hear the deep-lying sensory voices.
If I had to say myself, a very obvious example is Jessica. Her loveful energy is greater than her brutal denials. Jesse is her opposite; someone with truthful expressions that speak with his actions more than what he actually says.
The smoke, around those two, has hidden their framed life.
