The next morning Ji-ah was laying on her bed. She woke up frantically, she crossed her arms, shivering, covered in a full sweat as if she woke up with a terrifying nightmare. She notice that she was in her house, she was in her own bed. "Was it... A nightmare? No no no it wasn't I know. I- I- was? Yesterday night? Why can't remember a thing? What is happening to me?

"Who was that guy?" was he chasing me? She tries to recall all the memories. She lay back on her bed and stared at the ceiling.

"At least I'm alive, that's a relief" And closed her eyes

*Her phone rings*

"Now what's the matter why you call me?" It was her dad. She never picks up her dad's call.

She finally took a long deep breath and picks it up.

"Yes, dad..."

"My daughter... how are you doing. I'm sorry for what I did back then. I love you Ji-ah. I know things are getting hard for you. She was listening to everything. About to cry And felt her throat tighten up. Are you hearing me right? Ji-ah?"

"Oh, dad. I'm here." She tries to speak but words couldn't come from her mouth.

"What happened to your voice? You are eating well right? Let's meet today okay? Are you free today?"

"My schedule is busy today. Let's meet some other day."

"Are you still angry with dad?"

"N-no, dad."

"Oh okay. Now I'll get going. Take care okay."

she was crying. She holds her mouth with her hand trying not to cry.

"Dad.."

"Ahh what? Did you want to say something to me?"

"Nothing...."

"Ji-ah you know that you can always talk to me about anything."

She cuts the phone.
Park Ji-ah was the only daughter of the millionaire producer-director of a certain company in Korea. Her mother loves her so much. But things got changed. She did not have a loving and stable childhood. She didn't live a normal life with her family. Her mother abandoned her when she was 10 years old because her father used to be very busy with his work. And didn't able to give time to her mother. So her mother had an affair with another person. Her mother left her little child behind.

And this thing stuck in her mind, that in my childhood my mother left me because of some other person. And her dad though didn't give her as much attention as she want in her childhood. He was always busy in her business. There are such children, they are victims of negativity. So, she is one of them.

She suffered a handful of traumatic experiences. Lack of love and stability in childhood is very severe and impacts life greatly. She didn't even go to a psychologist she was scared of everything. She doesn't want to speak her problems to anyone.

As usual, she gets ready for her work. She didn't have her morning breakfast. But today she feels like having something on her way. She locked her gate and headed to the work. On her way, she saw a policeman.

He was interrogating someone. She was constantly thinking about that last night. Who was he? Why did he kill that person? And why did he let me go? She didn't understand anything. The cop came to her and asked if she had seen this person anywhere. Maybe here.

He missing since last night. And he is not an ordinary boy, he is the brother of one of the biggest Korean mafia. She nodded no and went away. I have seen him. But where? I don't know. His face is familiar I don't know let's go. She thought to herself. She was searching for a good restaurant to have a healthy breakfast. She saw a semi poster pasted at the bus stop. But she did not bother to see it. she was already too late. If she took the bus and go she would die in hunger. So she took the taxi.
