The waiter stabbed the glass piece inside Yn's tummy. Everyone yelled her name and Yn screamed. But before it could penetrate her belly, someone quickly came and held the piece far from her tummy. Blood started dripping from the hands of the person, and everyone stared at the scene wide-eyed. Mrs. Park ran to Yn and held her, while Mr. Shin and Mr. Park went to the waiter and held him. Mrs. Park made Yn sit on the chair and hugged her to console her.

After they took the waiter to the police, Mr. Park and Mr. Shin came inside, only to see Yn talking to Haeun and Mrs. Park. The duo then turned towards the person who saved Yn and he was wearing a mask.

"Son! Who are you? Please show your face!", Mr. Park said to the guy. Yn broke the hug from Mrs. Park and looked at the person with her doe eyes. The person nodded and slowly removed his mask. Mr. Shin, Mr. Park, and Yn looked at him wide-eyed as soon as he removed his mask.

"S-Soobin!!", Yn mumbled under her breath when he removed his mask, "Soobin?... How come?", Mr. Shin fumbled with his words upon seeing Soobin. They both were shocked seeing him there, including Mr. Park, who never thought about him being there.

Yn quickly ran and hugged him tight, almost jumping on him, and started crying, seeing her best friend after such a long time. Soobin also hugged her back and caressed her back to calm her down, but there was someone who wasn't liking even a bit of it. Soon they broke the hug and at that exact moment, they heard a voice.

"Sorry! I'm late!" they turned to look at the person, and Yn's eyes again widened seeing the person.

"Jimin! Where were you?" Mrs. Park asked her son, her tone clearly defining her irritation at her son's behavior.

"Sorry, Mom! Something urgent came up so I went to handle that.", Jimin apologized to his mom. She smiled and nodded before hugging him. Mr. Park also hugged Jimin.

"Okay, Jimin! Now meet our guests. You already know him! He is Shin Duri, and this is his daughter, Shin Yn!", Jimin bowed to Mr. Shin. He smiled before patting his back. But when he turned towards Yn, his eyes went slightly wide. They both stared at each other. This unexpected meeting astounded both of them.

Jimin again felt a ticklish feeling. Still, his eyebrows raised a bit when he noticed her hand, which was held by Soobin.

"Who's he?" He asked in his usual cold voice, pointing towards Soobin. Soobin bowed at him. But, he just ignored him.

"He's Soobin! My best friend!" Yn replied apprehension painted on her small face.

"But wasn't it supposed to be Mr. Shin and his daughter for the dinner?" Jimin asked his father, and Mr. Park just glanced at Soobin.

"I'm sorry! Actually, I just came to have my dinner here but saw her so...", Soobin trailed. Jimin just nodded. Soobin then went from there and they all sat down on their respective chairs.

Yn was sitting between her dad and Haeun. Next to Haeun was Mrs. Park. Next to Mrs. Park was her husband, and next to him was Jimin, and beside Jimin was Yn's dad. The elder males were chit-chatting about their old days, while Mrs. Park was talking about new fashions and similar things with Yn. Jimin was scrolling through his phone.

Soon the waiter came and took the order, and after some time they received their ordered food. They dived into the food.

Suddenly, Mr. Shin received a message. He checked the message and choked on his food after reading it. Yn was about to hold the water glass to give him but before she could grab it, Jimin did. Both their hand touched and Yn left the glass. Jimin gave him water and Yn patted his back to calm him.

"Are you okay?" Mr. Park asked him. He looked at him and mouthed him something which made his eyes wide.

"We'll be back!" Mr. Park said and stood up. Mr. Shin also stood up, and everyone looked at them in confusion. Mr. Shin signaled him something and they both left towards the exit.

"What happened to them so suddenly?" Mrs. Park asked and Yn shrugged, pouting.

Outside the Restaurant...

"What!!!" Mr. Park shouted. Mr. Shin shushed him as everyone glanced at them. "Slow down! And yes, it's true!" Mr. Shin said and showed him the message that he received.

"But how can..." Mr. Park fumbled after reading the message and looked at him. "We already sorted this out! Then how?" he added.

"You know when I reached here, a guy in black clothes came on the bike and was about to slice Yn's neck but thanks I pulled her. I know he's with them!" Mr. Shin said and Mr. Park sighed.

"So now?" Mr. Park asked. "Nothing! I just have to protect my child at any cost. I can't let her suffer the same fate which her mother suffered!" Mr. Shin said and a tear rolled down his cheek upon remembering the past. Mr. Park hugged him and consoled him. After a minute of silence, he spoke.

"Why don't you get her married? I mean we can get Yn and Jimin married" Mr. Park spoke and Mr. Shin looked at him confused. "See, you want to protect her, and we are trying to find a suitable girl for Jimin. I think we should get them married. I'll also be there and I'm sure Jimin will try his best to protect her!".

Mr. Shin listened to him carefully. "But.. she's too small. She isn't even 19 yet!" Mr. Shin said in a worried tone. "But I don't want her to suffer because of my past!".

He added and Mr. Park smiled lightly. "Then get her married to Jimin. I ensure that she'll be safe there with him!" Mr. Park said, proud of his son, and Mr. Shin thought for some time before looking back at him.

"I'll ask her!" he said and Mr. Park nodded, and they both headed back inside.
