It's been hard for them to cope up and accept that Lisa's gone. It's barely four months since they sent her to rest and those days are hard as hell.
They're used to getting the Thai's calls and texts asking them to play or hang out, it's so hard... Especially to Irene.
The once full of color and joy home is now a cold and quiet four-cornered place.
The once late-night talks and warm cuddles with Lisa are now dark, sad, and cold nights for her.
How can she move on when she can hear and see Lisa in every corner of their place?
She doesn't know how to go on with life anymore, she's just thankful that she still has one reason, one reason that she's getting a tight hold of to continue to live.

A shadow blocked the sun for her which makes her stand up and turn around to see Chaeyoung holding an umbrella in front of her.
"I'm leaving," Chaeyoung said flatly. "I'm sorry about my outburst that day, I don't want to leave with a heavy heart knowing that Lisa won't like it." She said then lean the umbrella on her shoulder. "The investigators that I hired give up, how can we find something when there's nothing to find in the first place? The kidnappers died with Lisa, the end, that's what they keep on saying,"
Irene remained quiet.
"See you when the universe lets us meet again," Chaeyoung said then wear her sunglasses before turning around.
Irene watch her walk towards her car but Chaeyoung stopped walking when her guard opens the door for her and look at Irene again over her shoulder.
"I saw your flight details by the way,"
Irene balled her fist while Chaeyoung finally hops in and left.
Tears started falling from Irene's eyes again then turn around to face Lisa's grave.
"Baby, I need you," she whispered then crouched down to caress Lisa's name. "And I miss you, every day,"
After some time, she stands up and wipes her tears.
"I think it's the time for them to know," she said to herself then send a text message to her friends.

Chaeyoung dialed her friend's number and the person immediately pick up.
"I'm on my way to the airport, see you when I see you,"
"You didn't even ask me to hang out before you leave,"
"I'm sorry Suzy, I'm just not in the mood to chill around,"
"Silly, of course, I understand,"
The car stopped due to the red light. Chaeyoung bid her goodbye to her friend and turned off her phone. She already bid her goodbye to her other friends yesterday especially to the twins, like the others, she adores them so much.
Sighing, she looks outside the window to watch the busy streets of Seoul. Cars, tall buildings, billboards...
Billboards...

Chaeyoung squints her eyes to watch the advertisement on the screen against a tall building. Something about it is pulling her and drawing her closer.
"Turn over, let's go to Busan," she tells the driver which he immediately did.
