Mr. Im : "You love her. Right?"

The moment Nayeon's ears let those words enter through them, her brain stopped working. It's like she totally forgot how to speak.

Mr. Im : "You know how open minded I am"

With a deep breath she want to shake her head, indicating a pure no but ended up doing nothing. She just sat in front of her father blankly like a plain white board just go and draw anything on her.

Mr. Im : "Then I'm taking your silence as yes"

Again stuck into the same situation where she wanted to say no but ended up doing nothing. The fact that she can't deny her love for the younger one is haunting her at a point.

Mr. Im : "I know it isn't easy. I know it's very hard. A way harder than anyone can think but... the one you love will no matter what could make easier for you."

Those words did nothing except making Nayeon cry. Her tears started rolling down as her hands were fast enough to wipe it.

Nayeon : "Dad... I--"

Mr. Im just smiled as he weekly shook his head.

Mr. Im : "If you love someone, don't use excuse to hide it"

The grip on Nayeon's hand tightened a little.

Nayeon : "I'm sorry"

Mr. Im : "I'm not into listening sorry from my daughter but I'm surely intrested in listening her love story briefly"

Nayeon lightly smiled and gave a light nod.

Nayeon : "We were best friends in school. I didn't realized when I fell for her and then when everything was in our favour, I left for Europe. And the rest is history"

Mr. Im : "That really was brief"

They both chuckled and was about to continue their little last laughs until the door opened revealing Jeongyeon with the meds.

Jeongyeon : "Oh! I'm sorry I'll leave"

She turned her hill and was about to leave when she heard a not too familiar weak voice.

Mr. Im : "Jeongyeon-ah"

Jeongyeon : "Yes sir... how can I help you?"

Her voice was very soft, a voice which just shows respect and empathy in it.

The old man lightly smiled and gestured Jeongyeon to come near him which she did. Probably thinking about that man needs a physical support or strength to do something which she'll happily provide.

Mr. Im : "What's Nayeon for you?"

A question which she has never thought of is right in front of her, standing and waiting to hear the answer.

The but obvious fact that she'll not tell what she really want to, she stated a lie which everyone thinks is truth.

Jeongyeon : "We are close friends sir"

Mr. Im again softly smiled.

Mr. Im : "you sure. Right? Cause Nayeon told the both of you are equally into each other"

Jeongyeon : "She is more than my heart beat"

Mr. Im : "I thought you would be saying something cheesey like she's my world"

Jeongyeon : "The world is filled with people who arent good, the world is suffering from droughts, floods, landslide and many other problems."

Mr. Im started chuckling lightly, it's the last they are hearing the beautiful sound of his laugh.

Mr. Im : "You surely are something Yoo. Different from your father, different from your sister and different from everyone"

With a little proud curved lips, the taller one bowed and uttered an audible "Thank You".

Mr. Im : "I know the thing between you two isn't right, but both of you can make it. There are many people who will get hurt in the phase of making things right but... don't runaway. Just wait for the right time or moment wisely"

Jeongyeon : "We will try our best and won't stretch this secret for long"

Mr. Im : "Knowing that my girl will be safest with you. I can die peacefully"

Nayeon : "Dad! I've told you t--"

Mr. Im : "Nayeon... baby you yourself know the moment these machines will be taken away from me it will take my breath away to."

Jeongyeon : "Mr. Im I think you should just watch a match of your favorite sports, baseball is live right now. Shall I play it?"

It's the happiest face made by Mr. Im which Nayeon witnessed right now after him hearing about the baseball match. Mr. Im is totally in love with her family, but the thing which he equally loves is baseball. Obviously that's one of the reason how he met with love of his life, Mrs. Im.

Jeongyeon attached the TV and searched for the channel while Nayeon went out to call her mother and  JayB. Chanyeol who is totally unaware about the sorrow spreading in his wife's and her side relatives, just sit in his office with iu stacking up the files as he continues to sign some papers.

The match started with Mrs. Im sitting right beside her husband whose concentration is on the TV while the woman beside him letting her tears roll down. There sits his son on the sofa, starring at him, not at all wanting to letting that face fade away from his eyes. On his other side sits his beautiful daughter. Nayeon. Lightly caressing her father's hand her state of eyes and heart wasn't different from other family members. Jeongyeon who stands at the corner, her arms folded looking at the family who'll soon loose someone who is so so close to them. Her mind can't get rid of the thought of Nayeon looking so weak after her father's death.

And that's where it ended. After forty five minutes of the same sitting arrangement, a homerun was hit by Mr. Ims favorite player as he announces his team's victory and a cold word left JayB's mouth as his eyes witnessed her father's pale body lying next to her mother. The oxygen was finished in the tank, as the machine stopped supplying glucose to the body.

JayB : "Dad..."

The tears which started to roll down again, though everyone was ready for this then why does it hurts more than anything?

Jeongyeon swiftly turned off the television not wanting the cheering voice enter the room. Everyone let their eyes witness their favorite persons body for the last time. They'll never forget this beautiful soul in their lives.

Though Mr. Ims travell destination came to an end but... Unknowingly it was start of a new destination for  Yoo Jeongyeon and Park Nayeon.
