Two hours. Since the last two hours, they have been sitting there awkwardly, not knowing what to talk about. They didn't  have their phones and even the T.V.'s remote was outside the room.

Ugh! The thick atmosphere was killing both of them.

Finally, mustering up her courage, Ae-Cha broke the silence as she spoke,

"So, um... Did you get any... any clue about dada? I mean about his whereabouts."

"H..huh?", Jungkook spoke, being utterly shocked as to how she was the one who started the conversation.

Registering her question, he shook his head slowly as if he was afraid to shatter her hopes.

A sigh escaped her lips when she saw his response. Oh, boy. This was becoming harder. 'This Black Okanachi or whatever his name was, was really an a******. Definitely.', She thought to herself before shaking her head.

"Please... try to find him as soon as possible. He is my world... I can't live without him.", Letting her pride down, she finally spoke it in a soft tone, almost begging him to bring her dada back.

Jungkook stared at her with soft and empathetic eyes as he couldn't help but nod his head and assure her that he would find her. He couldn't help but feel her pain. She was his daughter and he had accepted her. He couldn't see his child in pain.

"Don't worry, kiddo. I am trying my best. Don't worry. We'll find him soon."

Ae-Cha nodded timidly before fixing her gaze on the cloudy, night sky, peeking through the window.

The same awkward silence was again making itself comfortable in the room but Jungkook, who had gathered some confidence after she started the conversation, decided to take another step.

"Umm... So.... what did you and Jay used to do on rainy days? I mean... You couldn't do much or go outside... So, how did you used to spend time?"

Ae-Cha diverted her gaze towards him as her lips curved up in a smile on reminiscing those beautiful memories.

She shifted forward as she sat on the floor, near the big window as her eyes took in the refreshing view.

"Well, me and dad used to watch K-dramas all day during rainy days. Initially, I wasn't that interested in dramas but dada.... Oh, boy", she stopped as she chuckled softly, making Jungkook smile as well.

"Dada was hella addicted to them. He would force me to watch them and eventually, I started liking them. And you know? When it was time for dada's favourite scene, I purposely, used to ask him to bring me a glass of water, to make me something tasty and something like that."

Jungkook laughed at her words, feeling a bit sorry for Jay. Salute to Jay for handling her without losing his temper.

She smiled as she turned her gaze towards him. Her eyes were twinkling with love and admiration as she talked about Jay,
