Several hours ago

Mo Yeon stands in front of Si Jin’s apartment door.

You shouldn’t do this Kang Mo Yeon, how come you are standing in front of a man’s apartment door, with your daughter, in the middle of a stormy night like this, what will other people think? Urggghhh!

But..But this man is your daughter’s father..

But..this man is also your ex!

Mo Yeon takes a deep breath while she’s having her own internal battle, after she made Hee Jin wore her jacket, they rushed to Si Jin’s apartment, at first Mo Yeon actually wants to leave Hee Jin since it’s already late at night, but the child keeps asking about her father and Mo Yeon doesn’t have the heart to leave her child alone while she’s checking Si Jin’s condition.

What if he’s actually alright and..what should i tell him? His child wants to see him at this time? I can’t tell him that I’m also worried right?

“Okay Kang Mo Yeon..you are just a concern neighbor..nothing else..” She mutters to herself.

“What is it eomma?” Hee Jin looks at her.

“Ah, nothing my love.” She smiles at her child.

Mo Yeon presses the doorbell, one time, and she waits, but nobody answers, she presses one more time, but still, nobody answers.

“Hee Jinna..maybe appa is already sleeping.” Mo Yeon tells Hee Jin and the child suddenly shakes her head.

“Anniii eomma, appa is insidee..”

“Yes sweetheart, of course, he’s inside, but you see, eomma already pressed this one two times and appa doesn’t come out, maybe he’s already in a dreamland..” 

Hee Jin shakes her head one more time and her eyes turn watery.

“Annnii eommaa…appa is insidee..Hee Jin wants to see appa..jigeumm eommaa jigeuum.”

Usually Hee Jin is a very obedient child, but not this time, she keeps refusing her mother’s idea to go back without checking her father, and somehow it worries Mo Yeon.

Maybe you can open this door and check it by yourself Kang Mo Yeon!

Yes her inner thought is right, but how come she open this door, she doesn’t have the code.

Mo Yeon finally takes initiative to put some numbers that Si Jin might use for this door code.

“Maybe his birthday..” She inputs Si Jin’s birth date but it’s not opening.

“He is a simple man, maybe just 0000..” She tries again but still the door is locked.

“Well, he’s simple, but he’s not that stupid.” Mo Yeon keeps talking to herself while she tries to figure out.

Maybe the code is your birthday.

Mo Yeon shrugs off that thought because it’s impossible..right?

But well, she finally tries, better than nothing.

“Okay November twenty second..” She inserts 1122 as the code.

And the door opens.

Her eyes widen in shock when she sees that door opens, and somehow, somewhere in her heart, she feels happy. After that, Mo Yeon and Hee Jin come in and they see that Si Jin’s apartment is dark.

“Si Jin-ssi..” Mo Yeon tries to call Si Jin, while she’s walking towards the light switch, his apartment has the same design like hers so she knows where is where, and also she’s been here so many times when Mr. and Mrs. Park lived here.

She scans the living room, a very empty living room with just a sofa and some books. She walks towards the kitchen, and she finds another very empty space, as if nobody lives here.

“Apppaaa…” Hee Jin also tries to call her father.

“Maybe he’s inside the bedroom.” Mo Yeon points out the room’s door to Hee Jin and she nods.

Mo Yeon takes a deep breath and she turns the knob, the door opens and she gasps.

There he is, Yoo Si Jin, lying on his bed, his body is trembling. Mo Yeon puts Hee Jin down right away and runs to Si Jin.

“Si..Si Jin ssi!”

She scans his body and touches his forehead, it’s burning, so his condition is still the same like some years ago.

“Mo..Mo Yeon-ahh…” Si Jin say
