     Elsa sat on the bench outside her brother's house while reminiscing her conversation with her father.

     " El...if that so...would you like to come back to our house? It had been empty without it's rightful owner, honey..." Mr. Park showed his full of hope looks. Elsa sighed a little in guilt.

     " Umm...appa. It's not like I don't want to. I know one day I will still go back to the house. But for now... I'm comfortable here.

Let me calm myself first and forget all of that memories before I go back. Can I, appa?" Mr. Park didn't look offended, instead he smiled understandingly.

     " It's good to hear that you are opening your heart, honey. Of course you can take your time. But don't be too long, the house will be haunted," Elsa looked taken aback but after that both of them laughed.

     She missed her dad very much. It seemed that Mr. Park had returned to his actual personality, the caring one and full of joke. Like before their mother passed away.

     " Oh...you know, that boy named...Tae...." Her heart started to pump faster as Mr. Park mentioned him.

     " Taehyung, appa,"

     " Yes! Exactly. He said he is your friend? Did he take care of you well?" Elsa was confused. From what she knew, her father knew him as a culprit who blackmailed him for money.

     Why would he ask about Taehyung to her? Was there something she didn't know?

     " Why, appa? Why did you bring him up?"

     " Isn't he your friend that helped you when...you know, the day we fought," Elsa bit her lip in confusion. She started to feel something bad.

     " Yes, appa. But...we lo-lost in contact," that was all she could mutter. Maybe this was a chance to ask about the blackmailing thing, and she was thinking so hard to find a right question.

     " Oh? Lost contact? That's...bad," Mr. Park whispered the last part while Elsa was too deep in her thoughts.

     " Why did he go missing all of sudden?" Mr. Park mumbled to himself. Taehyung had blocked his number so he couldn't contact him anymore. He didn't have any reason to after all.

     Maybe he didn't like the money I gave. He doesn't want them...but why?

     " Appa...I need to ask you something," Mr. Park raised his head at his daughter's question.

     " Yes, honey? What is it?" He looked at his daughter with soft eyes. Elsa bit her lip, trembling. The question that she would ask would finalized everything and she was very scared.

     " About Taehyung...." Mr. Park anticipated for her to go on when he heard the name.

     That boy always brought interest in him, he could never knew what kind of a boy he was, but he was in awe with Taehyung's charm and the bright aura that surrounded him.

     " Is it true that he black-" Mr. Park's phone rang abruptly making both of them jolted in their seat.

     He sighed and answered it immediately as he saw the caller id. Meanwhile, Elsa was disappointed that her father was still the same workaholic man.

     He could just leave the phone call and let her talk to him, after all he missed the times before.

     " What? Okay, I'll come," Elsa already knew what was going to happen next.
