Several more days passed. Liliana was slowly opening up to Jikyo with each passing day. She knew she could trust him. She loved him and he loved her, that was all that mattered to them now. They knew that as long as they were together, they could survive anything.

At the present moment, Jikyo went with his foster father to the police station. A friend of Edmund's who was working on the Wilkinson case worked there. They wanted to find the culprit, the bastard who dared hurt Liliana.

"We're on his trail. " Aaron, the policeman said.

"So you already know where to find him? " Edmund asked.

"Not exactly..." The man shook his head. "Actually..." He sighed heavily. "We need some help." He looked meaningfully at Jikyo. "If Lily remembered something more..." He said rather uncertainly. "I understand that it's a difficult topic for her, but every detail is important. The look of that guy, the clothes, maybe some distinguishing mark? The way he spoke, maybe he had an accent?" He exchanged and then looked at his younger companion again. "Will you try to talk to Liliana?"

Park sighed softly and exchanged glances with his father.

"Lily very slowly but takes a step forward. " Man said. "She's having a hard time with it, and I don't want to remind her of it again. She's already scared enough..." He lowered his head and sighed again. "But I'll see what I can do." He glanced at the cop. Moments later, Jikyo's phone rang and the boy got up and walked away. "Excuse me for a moment. " He said and took it. "Nae salang? " He was the first to say in a pleasant voice.

"Where are you? " Wilkinson asked in a worried voice.

"Um..." He glanced at the policeman talking to his father. "Why? Did you miss me? " He smiled. "I can come right back if you want."

"To be honest, yes, I missed you. " She admitted. "So... When will you be back?"

Jikyo smiled again at her words.

"I'll be there in ten minutes, nae salang. "

"Have you eaten yet? " Park asked entering the room of his beloved. "If not, we can go somewhere or I'll cook something special for you." He approached her and kissed her gently on the forehead, which caused a shy smile on the redhead's face. "How are you? " He crouched in front of the woman sitting on the bed, then took her hands.

"It's better now that you're here." She answered honestly and stroked her lover's hand.

"Uh, what's that sad face? Nae salang! " He took her face in his hands and smiled widely at her. "Let's go! I'll cook something deliciousfor you! " He took her hand and pulled her along.

Lizzy was at school and Sabine was visiting a friend, so they were home alone at the moment. Jikyo was busy in the kitchen, while Liliana sat at the table and watched him carefully. She had no talent for cooking herself, so it was always Jikyo who prepared something for them.

"Where's Edmund? " She asked, which surprised her companion a bit.

"Um..." Park stirred the soup with a spoon. "He had some business to attend to."

"Did you help him? " Eedhead thought.

"Mm. " He nodded and looked at his beloved. "He'll be back soon, but for now, we've got the house to ourselves." He winked at her, which made her laugh a bit. "Aa-aah! " He approached her with a wide smile, then leaned over her and kissed her on the cheek.

"What's that for? " She asked blushing.

"I haven't heard your laugh in a long time. " He replied while leaning against the table. "I missed this. " He admitted.
