Ms.Yoo : Did... Did you find Ji Han oppa?
Dr.Ban : Onh? Not yet. They didn't find anything from the bandit club you had addressed. Don't worry, the police is looking for him. And before he's in their grab, you will stay at their child care centre. They will provide you the best security there.
She was least concerned about her safety at that moment.
Ms.Yoo : What happens to Oppa when he is caught?
Dr.Ban : Well, since he is also underage. He will receive a rehabilitation treatment. And after looking at the severity of the matter, the court will decide whether it would be safe to continue your upbringing together or otherwise.
Seeing her silent and upset, Dr.Ban softened his voice a little.
Dr.Ban : Do you still want to live with your brother?
Ms.Yoo : Afterall, he is my only family left. I don't want to be left alone.
Now empathizing with her, Dr.Ban exactly knew what it felt like to be left totally alone. And suddenly, by an unforeseen calamity.
Hours later, the psychiatrist found himself rewinding through the conversation he had with Ms.Yoo. In the empty apartment he owned. The corners of giggles and glitters that he used to return to in the past were now cheerless and dingy.
There was a peace. A tranquility that he hated to have. He longed for the chaos that resonated through the doors and walls.
He longed for his past.
Nonetheless, not to brood long on the bygones, he sat by his study looking through Internet in his laptop.
Although, the crime officials did not put him in any kind of research or investigation. That was exactly what his coping mechanism had been. Over the years, he has developed a peculiar interest to look for the hidden.
And the indistinct girl from his memories, was on his active search since five years. He has been trying to reach her perseveringly. And so far has not met any success.
Maybe he was failing to look in the direction she was actually resting by. Maybe she was already very close to him.
Closer than he would hope for.

Dan Hwa's steps initially slowed down, finding the person she was looking for. In the wide corridor, bright curtains of beam stringed inside through the glass boundary wall.
Director Baek's walk gained a pace once again, inching closer to the intended team member.
Dan Hwa : Ryu Illustrator-nim.
Abstracted all along, the Illustrator who once used to be an Intern, slightly flinched to her direction. Ms.Ryu bowed to Dan Hwa with a nervous greet.
Ms.Ryu : Oh, Baek Team Jang-nim, my apologies. I was not idling. I-I will get back to work-
Dan Hwa : (-cutting her off-) Easy. Taking a small break is fine.
The Illustrator calmed down at her warm remark and lightly smiled. Having Dan Hwa to turn towards the city view, Ms.Ryu also followed her and stood quiet.
