KNOCK. KNOCK. 

Dahyun knocked the door as the same she gulped. Baekhyun was right beside her holding tightly to her hand. The door opened and revealed a man in middle 40 years. "What makes you think to come back?" The man asked. "Uncle....where's my dad?" Dahyun asked, she was looking through inside of the house. "He was caught by the police a few days ago and it seems like the police has been searching for him all this time. So, there's no sign he will be free in the nearest time." The man said.

Dahyun nodded and she was like in a deep thought before doing it. "And....I know you're not living here anymore...or are you going to live here again? The rent hasn't been payed for 3 months already. If you willing to pay for it?" Baekhyun shook his head after being silence for a while. "No...we're good. We just come to check. Sinc he was already in prison. We're all good." Baekhyun said. "Okay, then..." The man said. "So....bye..see you around uncle." Baekhyun said and pull Dahyun together with him to go back to his house.

"Are you alright?" Baekhyun asked Dahyun since she was like a little bit off. "Uh-- yeah...I'm good." She said. She sighed a heavy sigh. "He was caught....so that mean, I shouldn't be worry anymore right?" Dahyun asked. Baekhyun nodded. "You have nothing to worry about anymore. Just worry about ourselves." Baekhyun said. "Our.." Dahyun said more sounded like a whispers. "Yeah...our." Baekhyun said again also sounded like a whispers.

"I'm leaving to my work now. Bye...see you...later." Dahyun said and leave. "O-okay..." Baekhyun said. Dahyun left the house and Baekhyun looked at the clock. "It's too early for her to go for work." Baekhyun said and he silently followed Dahyun.

Dahyun walk and she turn to the opposite road to her workplace. Baekhyun grew more confused and curious. She walked and walked until she arrived in front of the police station. There, Baekhyun stood froze. Dahyun entered the police station and followed by Baekhyun.

"Appa....Are you alright?" She asked. "What? Are you happy now to see me in here?" Her dad asked. Dahyun shook her head. She was at the merged of crying. "I don't like to see you like this.." A clear soft sobbed could be heard through the room. "Have you eat?" She asked. Her dad just nodded. Dahyun looked down and the tears fell to her hand. She wiped her tears before facing her dad again. "I'm sorry I wasn't there." She said. "It's fine. It's not like you could do something to stop them." Her dad replied. Dahyun nodded. "At least, I could try." She said. "You're just like your mom. Stubborn." Her dad suddenly confessed. 

Dahyun looked to her dad dearly. "That's why, I was afraid that you may leave. But, everytime I see you I just become angry. Maybe it's better that you leave with that boy. He loves you.." Her dad said. Dahyun shook her head again. "No...How can I leave you? You're my dad. You're  the only family I had." She said. "I will be there. I will be here. Next to you. This is the punishment I got because of what I have done to you and your mom." He said. "No...the heaven is not that cruel to make someone's suffered to much. They're trying to teach us to appreciate each other." Dahyun said.

Finally, after a long time....Dahyun saw her dad smiling again. "Right....you're just like your mom." He said. "I'm sorry miss...but the visiting time has finished." Said the cop. "Okay then. Bye dad....I'll come again." She said and left the room. Her dad was brought to the prison again. Baekhyun was also about to cry looking at the daughter and her dad. He get out earlier before Dahyun noticed him. Dahyun then washed her face before going to the cafe she used to work at.
