A/N: Just to make it clear, 'Mr. Jeon' mentioned in this chapter is Jungkook's father and not Jungkook.

"Yes. Please send the address to this number. Thank you Mr.Lee"

I sigh as I put my phone back into my purse.

"Here is a copy of your ticket," Taehee speaks as she places the envelope on my table.

"Thank you," I smile as I take the envelope from my table to have a look.

"The flight is scheduled for tomorrow."

I nod as I go through the same information printed on the paper in my hand.

"I'll get going then,"she says as she leaves my cabin.

I sit back in my chair as I try to drown in my thoughts.
I'll be leaving to Seoul tomorrow.

Soo-ji has informed me that the orphanage in which I grew will be sold in a few days.
It's been about four years since I last visited but the memories I made there are unforgettable.

I graduated last year and now I'm working in a successful company. I left the place years ago but I have grown attached to it.
I couldn't think of anything else when I was told about them selling the orphanage. Soo-ji even told me that the people there might be forced to leave if it was sold.

I know I'm not capable of buying it but I do know that maybe I can give a try in convincing the person who is buying it to not demolish the building.
Mr.Lee has helped me. He promised that he would come to pick me from the airport.
The place holds many of my precious memories. Ones that I cherish.
I spent most of my life there.
My childhood that holds a special place in my heart and memories of Jungkook.

His name still makes my heart flutter.
I haven't seen him after the day of my high school graduation.

What happened to us? This has been a question I could never answer even after these years.

What is he doing now? Did his father persuade him to follow his steps? Or did he manage to do something he wanted?Where is he now?

I wanted to do something about Mr.Jeon selling the orphanage. I wanted to meet him first. So,now I'm traveling to Seoul. I'm going to talk to him and see if he could help and I want to know the reason why he is selling it and also if possible I want to talk to him about Jungkook.

Maybe I could meet him but what if he is married already? What if he has children?

I refuse to think further. I pick up the copy of my ticket and my purse before I stand to leave my cabin.

I enter the bus and swipe my card before heading towards a seat.
I sit at the seat close to the window and look out through the glass.
The places pass by quickly as the bus starts moving.
The pressure my mind was undergoing minutes ago seems to leave with the places which we pass.
After a few minutes my eyes get heavy and I slowly let them close.
I take a deep breath before drifting off into dreamland.

I wake up fortunately a stop ahead and sit in silence thinking of how horrible I might have looked while sleeping.

My stop soon arrives and I swipe the card before leaving the bus.

I type in the code to my apartment and enter the familiar place.
I kick my shoes aside and head straight to my bedroom.

I still have stuff to pack. I'll be staying at a hotel.
I head to bathroom to take a shower before starting to pack my stuff.

After about a few hours I'm done packing and I head to bed.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day.

____

I collect my luggage before heading outside the airport. My eyes soon wander in search of Mr.Lee.
I have met him only once in person when he visited my company for a brief meeting.

I barely got a chance to talk to him but I'm happy he agreed to help.
My father would have been of his age if he was still with me.

I soon find Mr.Lee and he heads towards my direction.
I smile at him and he helps me carry my luggage.

"How have you been? You look like you lost weight," he remarks.

"I'm fine,"I choose not to answer the second statement.
I haven't eaten properly in days. I know that I have to keep myself healthy but I can't help it.
I stay wake often during nights, simply staring at the ceiling.
This is one of the reason why I overwork myself.
I can put myself to sleep easily when I'm exhausted.

He helps me get into the passenger seat of his car and he gets into the driver's.

"Comfortable?,"he asks before starting the car.
"Yes."

"I'll take you to the hotel. You can sleep for a few hours before meeting Mr.Jeon."

"Okay and thank you for everything."

"Please don't mention. You and your company have helped me in many ways and I could not refuse the request."

The car comes to a stop at the parking of the hotel and I get out the car before grabbing my luggage.

"Thank you for the ride," I say to him through the open window.

"I'll come to pick you up at 4pm."

It's only 1pm now and I have plenty of time but first I'll have to eat because I'm currently starving.

"Yes, I'll be ready."

I head towards the reception of the hotel to finalize my room.
Once I'm handed the key and briefed on the direction, I head towards my room.

Once I enter I decide to take a shower.
Once I have changed into a comfortable attire I call and order for lunch.

After a few minutes the food has arrived and I slowly place it on the table.
A few minutes later I have already devoured the food.
I gulp down some water before heading to rest a little.

I set an alarm for 3pm before heading back into bed.

___

I wake up to sound of my alarm ringing.
I wake up lazily and stretch my hands. I get out of bed and head to wash my face.
I change my clothes and make myself fresh.

Once I'm done I head down.
I sit in the waiting room,scrolling through my phone.
Mr.Lee calls me and ask me to come out and I stand up from my seat and head towards the entrance.
Once I see his car I head towards it and he unlocks it so I can open it.
I make my self comfortable.

"Your appointment with Mr.Jeon is at 4:30pm, you'll have to wait there till then."
