After four hours of journey from Seoul, Jisoo finally felt a sense of relief rush through her once she got off the bus in Ulsan, her four year old daughter–Aera, still in her arms.

Jisoo and Aera had been on the run since last night, from her own abusive husband. She gulped as she looked around the station, just as a precaution. She was praying to God that she could stay put here for awhile, and that her husband–Jungwon–won't be able to find her. She felt sorry to her daughter that they had been running around since last night.

"Mummy, I'm hungry.", Aera said, Jisoo then put her down, and kneeled down to get on the same level as her daughter.

"I'm sure you are baby. We'll get something to eat soon okay?", Jisoo said as she caressed her daughter's cheek, "But Aera, can you do mummy a favour?", Jisoo asked and her daughter nodded.

"If anyone asks you what your name is, don't say Aera okay?", Jisoo asked, pleadingly.

"Okay!", Aera grinned, "Then can I say Jennie?", Aera asked, and Jisoo let out a small laugh as she nodded, it then hit Jisoo that was the first time she had laughed since yesterday.

"Yes baby.", Jisoo smiled smally, Jisoo then stood up and held her hand, "Let's go freshen up okay?", Jisoo said, she then walked and still kept on the look out, still cautious. Her husband had changed so suddenly, it traumatised her. All she wanted to do was file a report and a divorce but she knew it wouldn't be that easy, her husband had his own resources.

Why did Jisoo choose to go to Ulsan? It was simple, because of Jinyoung. Jinyoung was once her everything, but the stars never aligned for them.

Jisoo had managed to contact him last night, with the help of some mutual friends back in Seoul, and it was one of the people her husband had no knowledge of, so Ulsan was perfect. It was the last place anyone would think of, and she would get to see Jinyoung–after so long.

Twenty minutes later, Jisoo was waiting with Aera at the station for Jinyoung after having freshened up. Jisoo sighed as she looked in the mirror and saw her bruises on her arms and on the corner of her forehead, what was she going to tell Jinyoung?

Jisoo was then snapped out with her daughter tugging on her shirt.

"Mummy, are you okay?", Aera asked, and Jisoo looked down at her.

"Yes baby. I'm okay.", Jisoo said as she planted a kiss on her forehead and pulled her closer.

Jinyoung then finally arrived at the bus station, he got out of his car as he took off his sunglasses. He then scanned the bus station, looking for Jisoo.

His eyes then landed on a woman in her late 20s with a white blouse, holding a little girl in a light blue dress. His heart skipped as he saw Jisoo, and that was enough to let him know that he was still very much in love with Jisoo.

Jisoo was startled when she heard a voice.

"Hey..", Jinyoung said with a small smile, and Jisoo looked up, and she felt like a weight has been lifted off of her shoulders.
