Author's POV

It's been days since Seulgi's father mysteriously died, and still, she couldn't help but feel exhausted because of her dad's passing, and her dear best friend, leaving her for good.

"Mom.. what really happened to dad? Why did he die? Doctors told us that his vitals are slowly going back to normal, but then.. something went wrong. What really happened?", Seulgi curiously asked her mom.
"We don't really know what happened, darling. But don't you worry, because the police are doing everything they can to investigate everything that happened.", her mom told her with reassurance, yet Seulgi wasn't convinced.
"Dad may be gone already but.. I just hope he'll be proven innocent when the right time comes.", Seulgi said with a sigh.
"'Me too, darling! I know the Park family now hates us but.. I hope we could have a solid evidence that your dad didn't kill Dr. Park!", her mom said.
"Mom.. I wanted to follow you and your dad's footsteps. I want to be a doctor that'll never fail her patients and a doctor that'll do everything she can to make sure her patients will leave the hospital with a healthy and healed body.", Seulgi said in determination.
"Are you sure about this, darling? Being a doctor is hard and it might be mentally draining and exhausting for you!", her mom told her.
"I don't care mom! I feel like the doctor that tried healing and taking care of dad failed to save him from dying! Plus, you should know about this and take it to heart, mom! A doctor shouldn't be incompetent, and he/she should do everything he/she can to save his/her patients!", Seulgi said.
"Alright, darling! I want you to remember that no matter what path you take, know that I'm always here to guide and support you!", her mom told her.
"Thanks mom!", Seulgi said.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, the Park family is now doing everything they can to investigate everything and to make sure that Jimin will have a decent education.

Jimin's POV

"Mom.. why do you really have to do this? Do I really need to leave Seoul and just go back to Busan without a reason?", I asked my mom.
"Darling, it's for your own safety! We don't really know what happened and who really killed your dad, but according to the police, it wasn't the alleged suspect who killed him, and his fingerprints weren't even found from the crime scene.", my mom said.
"I hope justice will be served soon, because I want dad to rest in peace by getting the justice he deserves!", I said.
"He will! And I know that it's hard for you to say goodbye to your dear friend but.. maybe someday, the right time will come that the two of you will reunite again!", she told me.
"I hope I could see her again! Ever since we moved to Seoul, I didn't really have any friends in our neighborhood, but when I met Seulgi, she was the first friend I made!", I said.
"I know, and I understand, darling! Someday, fate will being you back together again!", she told me.

I miss you! I thought to mysef as I couldn't help but think about Seulgi's condition right now, like.. is she doing ok? Are kids still bullying her? Did she gain friends already while I'm gone? I know I'm not going to be there for her but I hope she's doing fine always. I guess I have no choice but to send her a message! I thought to myself.

Seulgi's POV

I was doing my homework inside my bedroom when my phone suddenly beeped, indicating that I received a message from someone. Oh! It's from Jimin! I thought to myself.

Jiminie: Hey Ddeulgi-ah! How are you doing?
Me: I'm doing fine!
Jimine: Are you ok? Are you still bullied? Did you gain friends already? Sorry that I'm worried too much right now, because I just want to make sure that you're doing fine!
Me: Yes I'm doing just fine! Yes, I still experience bullying sometimes, but don't worry, I already have friends!
Jiminie: That's good to hear!
Me: How are you doing in Busan?
Jiminie: I'm doing great, but I felt isolated, 'cause I don't have any friends, and plus.. you're the only friend I have!
Me: Oh Jimin, that's sweet but please don't be too cheesy!
Jiminie: I'm not! And besides.. it's true that you're the only friend I have!
Me: Please come back when the right time comes!
Jiminie: I will! Wait for me, alright?
Me: I will!
Jiminie: And don't take off our friendship necklace from your neck!
Me: I promise!

I'm glad that I'm still able to talk to him even if he's not physically present here with me! I thought to myself as I couldn't help but smile in relief. I immediately continued doing my assignments, when my mom suddenly came inside my room.

"Darling, are you doing something?", my mom asked me as she entered my room.
"Yes mom! I'm doing my homeworks, why?", I asked.
"Well, dinner's already served!", she said.
"Oh really? Alright, just let me finish this, mom! 'Cause I'm almost done!", I said.
"Alright, darling! Just come downstairs when you're done, so we could eat dinner already!", she told me.
"Alright mom!", I said as she left the room.

???'s POV

"So.. how are they doing?", I asked my henchman.
"Well.. Jimin and his mother left Seoul and came back to Busan, since his grandfather wants him to study there.", he told me.
"But what about his mother? She needs to be in Seoul, because many people, even her colleagues and patients, need her in the hospital!", I said.
"Well.. according to our other henchmen, his mom will come back to Seoul to continue work, while Jimin will stay in Busan with his grandparents!", he said.
"Alright! What about the girl?", I said.
"Oh, you mean Kang Seulgi? Well... she's with her mom here in Seoul.", he said.
"Alright.", I said with deep thoughts.
"Why, sir?", he asked me.
"Nothing! I'm just finding the right time to finish her!", I said.
"Why sir?", he asked me.
"That girls is still a kid, and I don't want to inflict pain on her mother so.. maybe I'll just execute my plan when the right time really comes! And besides, that kid knows nothing about what we're doing, and she still can't investigate!", I said.
"Alright sir!", he said.

You still have time to live here in this cruel world, Kang Seulgi, but the moment the right time comes, I will come and finish you! I thought to myself as I smirked in satisfaction.

Seulgi's POV

After I ate dinner with my mom, I immediately returned inside my bedroom to go back to sleep. I was about to go to sleep when my phone suddenly beeped, indicating that I received a message from someone. When I took a look on my phone, I immediately realized that I received a message from Jimin.

Jiminie: Hi! How are you doing?
Me: I'm fine! I'm about to go to sleep already!
Jiminie: Oh really? I guess I'm not allowed to disturb you now! Sleep tight, Ddeulgi-ah!
Me: You too, Jiminie!

It's a shame I couldn't talk to him for too long, but atleast we were able to remind each other to take care of ourselves always.
