"Pro. Park" investigator Choi calls me making me look up from my work, "yes ?" I ask him.

"You want to give it a rest, Min-yun and I are worrying about your health" he chuckles. I laugh a bit, "the case isn't going anywhere. But you should, go get some food, or sleep" Min-yun tells me.

That night...it still on my mind even after a year and a couple months. Chaeryoung and I never talked about it again, we couldn't even get the police involved because if we did...I wouldn't be a prosecutor right now, I'd be in jail for murdering two people.

We just called Jongsuk's father to get rid of everything. Even my mom's body.

Since I was only 18 at the time, I moved in with Chaeryoung. Jongsuk's father paid someone to change the official death of my mom, they said she died in a car accident.

Chaeryoung's parents took care of me, of course like their own. We graduated and I went to law school for a short amount of time since I graduated from their fastly.

Now I'm a prosecutor. Solving crime because what I went through at 18 was...life changing.

"I'll take a lunch break" I smile standing up. They both smile, "if you go to the cafe, could you please bring me back something" Min-yun asks me.

I laugh and nod while putting on my jacket, she gives me a thumbs up then I wave bye and leave the room.

I leave the building letting out a sigh. Walking to the parking lot, I see a familiar face getting out of their car. I stop and furrow my brows confused,

It can't be him, right ? This happens all the time

It can't be him, right ? This happens all the time. Ever since that night, I swear sometimes I see him...Jongsuk but it can't be. He died.

I shake those thoughts away and continue walking to my car, which the guy is parked next to.

As I approach my car the guy turns my direction, our eyes make direct contact making me freeze and look shocked.

"Jong...Jongsuk ?" I mumble. He looks at me with low brows, "how...you died" I rush over to him.

All the tears I've been holding in come out as I wrap my arms around him, "Jiae" he mumbles hugging me back.

I pull away, "I thought you died...why ? For a year...Jongsuk, where have you been ?" I ask him.

He takes a breath and glances around, "not here. Let's talk somewhere else" he opens his car door.

"I was going to the cafe. Is there fine ?" I ask him. He nods his head and we get in his car.

The whole ride I just keep looking at him, shocked and overwhelmed by the whole thing.

I thought he was dead.
