*Lilly's P.O.V*
I sat there in that uncomfortable chair for a couple more hours. My mother didn't wake once and I was perfectly fine with that. I stood up and stretched. I made my way out of her room and wandered around until I stumbled my way into the waiting room. Daesung was the only one in there. His eyes were closed and he had his hoodie on hiding his face. I walked over to him slowly and shook him gently awake. His eyes snapped open and stared at me. He gave me a soft smile and stretched out his limbs. He stood up and wrapped me in a tight embrace. "Are you okay, Jagi?" I nodded my head and intertwined my hand through his. He led me out of the waiting room and outside the hospital. I hailed us a cab since his English wasn't the greatest. I told him the address to the hotel and I snuggled close to Dae. I stared out the window and became lost within my thoughts. What is going to happen to my mom now? Will she be arrested again? What about the house? I came out of my thoughts to Dae waving a hand in front of my face. I muttered a small, "sorry," and paid the driver. We got out and headed inside the large hotel. The inside was beautiful. I looked around while Dae went up and got our room keys. There was a man staring at me by the elevators. He was wearing a black trench coat and a very nice suit. His brown hair was slicked back in a fashionable way. Dae walked back over to me holding a set of keys in his hand. "Let's go," he said cheerfully. We walked toward the elevator and waited with the strange man. The man continued looking at me with a smirk on his face. The elevator came and the three of us entered. I clung closely to Daesung's arm as we rode the elevator up to the tenth floor. The man never took his eyes off of me. The doors opened and Daesung led me out of the elevator and down the hall to the door at the end. I watched as the man entered a room by the elevator. He had a smirk on his face as he gave me a wink before disappearing into the room. Daesung pulled me into the room gently and my eyes widened in amazement. The room was huge. There was an elegant touch to the room. I looked around in awe. I heard Dae behind me chuckling softly. He wrapped his strong arms around my waist. He gave me a soft peck on my cheek. "How was your mother doing?" I shrugged, "Asleep the entire time. I guess she wasn't in a talking mood." He let out a small sigh. "What was that for?" He released me from his hug and scratched the back of my neck. "It's nothing?" I stared at him. "It didn't seem like nothing." He shrugged, "It was nothing." He walked to the room. All of our luggage was sitting on the bed. I watched as he opened the suitcase and began to unpack everything from within. I leaned against the doorframe and crossed my arms over my chest. "What's wrong?" He didn't look at me. "Nothing's wrong, jagi." I shook my head. I walked out of the room and sat on the couch. I stared at the blank TV screen. I became lost in my thoughts once more. I felt the couch sink as someone sat down next to me. I felt Dae trying to put his arm around me. I got up and walked quickly to the bathroom. I locked the door behind me and got into the tub. I laid my head down on my knees and curled into my body. I just wanted to get lost. I just wanted to escape. I needed to escape. But how?
