Jaehwan wanders in his own living room, looking for the residences as he is aware that the situation is too quiet. He thought his mother and Yeseul were cooking in the kitchen and Wonshik... God knows where he was when he walked out from him room, sulky. His father was looking out for his precious small garden at the back, which Jaehwan is already know about it. He sit at the bench while watching his father watering the plants. Like a child, he pouts and his legs swing back and forth as if it was his habit ever since he was a child. Jaehwan doesn't know should he tell his father about the pain and also the strange guy he always met after his office hour. Or anytime when he was at the cafe near the company.
Mr. Lee notice his son's presence but he waits for him to start the conversation. For Jaehwan to be quiet is very... veeeeery rare. Its either he would scream on top of his lungs or he will came secretly and give him a big hug. But now, neither both side of Jaehwan approached him and he knew something must not right. He put down the pot before turn his attention on his one and only child. "What happened, son?" he asked and take a vacant seat beside Jaehwan. "Nothing, dad. It's just..." Jaehwan stop at his sentence, still wondering if what he's about say might worried his father. Mr. Lee pats his thigh, asking him to continue his word. A faint sigh escape from Jaehwan's lips as if he tries to look for some courage, in order to talk about this matter.
"It's just... I've met this one older guy who has a scary smile. And you know what, these days I always suffered migraine and I can see weird hallucinations. I don't know if I'm talking nonsense but did I ever involved in an accident before?" Jaehwan's eyes turns shady, seeking for answer from his father. The father grimaces when Jaehwan mentioned about a man with a scary smile. Just who was that person and it comes to his mind that the 'person' must be the same person who used to hurt Jaehwan in the past. But of course that can't be. Mr Lee manages to let out a fake laugh and instead asked Jaehwan to see a doctor. However, he is afraid of one thing. What if Jaehwan's memory comes back and haunted him in life. He doesn't want that to happen and is his son really gained his memory back, Jaehwan must accept the reality.
"Aigoo, maybe its just a hallucination of yours, son. Lets go to the doctor tonight. Okay? Now call your mother and friends. We have lunch together," Mr. Lee ushers Jaehwan to go inside and he obeys. Jaehwan walks and he hold the door knob. However, he stops his action when Jaehwan himself feels he heard something that he supposedly not to. What are they talking about makes him to listen more about it and he tries to be silent as possible. Maybe if anyone see, its inappropriate but when his named was mentioned by Yeseul who happened to be inside, Jaehwan thinks its right. What makes him feel bad is he doesn't know how should he reacts on what he listened to. Should he stay calm and acts like usual? Or is it fine if he barges right into the room and get mad?
'Let me get tell him one day, auntie. Its okay, I know he's a good son. We both were victims of his abuse. I just want to confirm one last thing auntie, am I really.... a child without father?'
Okay now this is not the right thing to listen to Lee Jaehwan. But he just sticks himself on the door, trying to know more.
'Yeseul-ah... I'm sorr-'
'It's okay. I got it. I- I understand... maybe I should g-go now. They must be waiting,'
