I try to cool off by pacing the corridor, my father is still on the other side of that door.

I'm going to barge right through that door and ask him where my mother is.

Yes, I can do it!! I stomp to the door and stop dead in my tracks.

No no I can't do that.

WHY?

Why can't I? my hand hovers on the door handle

Because I'm a total chicken that's why.

"UGHH" Ji looks just as I say it

"Y/N come here" he reaches out his hand and motions me to come over

"Y/N come here" he reaches out his hand and motions me to come over. He was sitting on a bench close to the room. I reached my hand out for his. He pulls me towards him and he hugs my waist "I know your frustrated but please calm down" his hug tightens I hug him back. He calms me down I'm so glad he is here right now.

I really wouldn't be here right now without him.

An officer approaches me. It was the one that I talked to about my mother "Mam? I investigated it and there is no record of a death in the registry. Only that she was admitted into the hospital for some time. Then released a year and a half later.

I slump onto the chair next to ji no one could express the relief I was feeling at that moment.

"I also have the address here." He hands me a piece of paper I thank him, and he leaves us alone. I hover my hand over the piece of paper

"do you want me to go with you?" ji asks while grabbing my hand and I nod yes "okay one sec" he gets up from the bench and goes to talk to an officer I couldn't hear their exchange, but I didn't quite care now. He comes back and holds out his hand "Let's go Y/N" I grab it and we head out to the car. I input the address into the GPS and Ji drives.

The drive seemed to take forever. It was a distance away but still drivable distance. As we got closer I started to fidget.

What if she doesn't recognize me?

What if she doesn't remember me at all?

I was having a panic attack. I felt a hand on mine then our fingers intertwine, and just like that,

I was calm.

I lift his hand and fiddle with it to keep my mind from panicking again. I'm so glad his car is an automatic. He can drive well with one hand. I bring his hand to my face and press my cheek against the back of his hand.

"thanks Ji" I say as I close my eyes

"for what?" he chuckles

"for being there for me. When I was scared out of my wits, happy as a walrus, when I was sad." I began to list everything I was thankful for

"arasseoyo" ji stopped me we finally arrive at the location. It was a gated community I look around and get out of the car. My feet freeze in place as I was about to walk up to the door. Ji walks up beside me grabs my hands look me in the eye.
