Hanbin PoV  

The place where she had kissed earlier was still warm. 

  "Call her!"   Bobby shouted. He bolted towards his room and took his keys, wallet and phone.    Donghyuk took the initiative and called her on his phone. Then there was a ringing sound coming out of her room. He rushed towards that sound and informed us.    "Her phone's in the room!"   I bite my nails.    // where could that silly girl have disappeared to? //   Bobby jumped down the stairs.    "Yah be calm! We can't panic." Jinhwan shouted.    "That man is out there somewhere and Eunji could be in danger. I'm not risking anything!"    And with that he was gone.    I was tempted to follow behind him but Junhwe stopped me.    "You should rest since you're still sick and trust us to find her. We'll call you once we do."   He said this as he squeezed my shoulder.    I shrugged his grip off.    I don't care what will happen to me. As long as she's safe. So I copied the reckless elder before me and started my search for her.    "Those two pabo." Yunhyeong commented.    They started discussing how they would start the search and left the house one by one after that.    I could hear them speak as I was running. Was I running too slow? Because of my fever?    I pushed those thoughts to the back of my head. I gathered all my strength and ran towards the supermarket where she was last seen.    // please be alright! //   xxxxxxxxxx   Eunji PoV   I'm not stupid right? All I did was follow this sad middle aged man who just needs someone to talk to.    We got a seat at that restaurant and he ordered something light for each of us. While he told the waiter his order, he reassured me that he'll pay for it, as a payment for me hearing him out.    I wanted to message Jinhwan and tell him that I was caught up with something and will be back later. Then I recalled that I left my phone in my room.    I bit my lips and pondered on what I should do. I came to a conclusion that the conversation will take a few minutes and I'll go back immediately after that.    I couldn't bring myself to ask the man who had just lost his daughter to lend me his phone. Because I understood that he needed time. Like how I did once too.    The food arrived and he hasn't spoken a word. I peeked at the clock above the counter and it read 1.28pm. 16 minutes after I left my post.    The stranger invited me to eat. I nodded and dug into the food in front of me. When I was about to take my first bite, he finally opened his mouth.    "Sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I'm Daniel Jackson from the states. Umm I'm American but both my parents are Korean."   "Ah hello. I'm Lee Eunji. I am from the states too but I came here to study."   Upon hearing this, he flinched. It was like I said something that triggered his pain.    He continues.    "I left my 6 years old daughter 10 years ago. I regret all that I've done. I want to go back. Do you think that she will forgive me even though I've done something unforgivable?"   Water started to well up in his eyes again.    // so his daughter didn't die //   I tried to reassure him by smiling before saying something.    "It's not my place to say this but I think she will forgive you. There's no child out there who doesn't want their father around."   My hands were shaking but lesser than it was before.    That was before he told me his story.    "10 years ago, I was invited to my friend's house. He gave me this drink and told me that he was planning on mass producing it, putting it on the market. He wanted to start a small company and wanted me to be the first one to try the drink. I didn't suspect anything so I drank it. It was amazingly tasty and nice. I would feel energetic and happy everytim
