Eun-Sun spent the last four hours sitting beside Soomin, who remained taciturn as she sat by the window. She occasionally looked at her, and other times she stared at nothing in particular. And this was all they did till Mrs Lee returned with the others.

"Eun-Sun, thank you." Mrs Lee said appreciatively, pulling Eun-sun into a hug.

"It's okay."

"Did she say anything?" Mrs Lee asked expectantly, her gaze suddenly fixed on the woman, while Eun-sun shook her head.

"She did not. She was quiet all through the day." Eun-Sun didn't know if she should tell her the words the woman had blurted out earlier.

.

Mrs Lee sighed as she kept staring at Soomin. She had thought she had shown some interest in Eun-sun, but it seemed that was not the case. She has been looking for a way to get the woman to communicate with her, but that has been futile. It seemed whatever ordeal she must have endured had left her traumatised

If only she could find something or someone that would help unlock Soomin's mind, maybe that could help her in remembering what had happened to her and who exactly had taken her baby.

"It's okay. Thanks a lot for your help." Mrs Lee appreciated her once again. "Dan-Han is waiting for you." She told her.

Eun-Sun nodded and excused herself before leaving. Just as she was about to step out of the room, she almost bumped into father Lee.

"I'm sorry, sir." She immediately apologised.

Father Lee stared at her silently for a brief moment before replying, "It's okay. It was an accident." His stone was flat, but it lacked the hostility usually hinted in it, making Eun-sun quite surprised.

Okay, what's happening? She asked herself. She had also noticed how strangely he had behaved towards her at the airport. Was he trying to be nice to her?

Eun-Sun didn't Know what to think, and she also didn't want to overthink this through, so she bowed to him. But as she turned around to leave, he suddenly spoke, halting her on her heels, "Eun-sun,"

Eun-Sun was quite startled to hear him call her name. She turned around to face him, eagerly waiting to listen to what he had to say, but he didn't say anything. He only nodded at her before walking into the room, leaving Eun-sun in a perplexed state.

What was that all about? She asked herself.

She stared at the door for a couple of seconds before walking to the room where Dan-Han was waiting for her.

She squealed in shock the moment she stepped into the room as a strong pair of hands suddenly pulled into a warm hug.

"Dan-Han!" She smacked his arm as he buried her face in his broad chest.

"I missed you." He breathed into her ears, making hot waves shoot through her spine.

Wrapping her arms around his waist, she replied, "We just parted for few hours."

"But that's enough for me to miss you." He told her as he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

"Dan-Han" She tried to break away from his embrace, but the man held her firm.

"Say what you want to say from here." He said, not letting her go for a second. He didn't know why but he could never get bored of having her in his arms. He could do it all day. Maybe it was the fact that he was hopelessly and helplessly in love with her.

Eun-Sun sighed when she couldn't break free from his hold. Letting out a deflated sigh, she spoke. "Do you know what happened to your father?" That made him lose his grip around her as he looked at her alarmingly.

"Did he do something to you?" He asked with concern, a light frown already forming between his brows.

Eun-Sun sighed when she saw the threatening look in his eyes. "He didn't do anything."

"So, what did he say?" His tone was slowly turning grave, and Eun-sun could hear it.

"He didn't say anything either." She hurriedly told him, making Dan-Han raise a brow at her.

"Then what did he do?" He asked suspiciously, making Eun-sun fall into thought as she replayed her small encounter with Dan-Han's father in her head.

"Nothing." She said, making Dan-Han look at her with an even more suspicious look.

"Nothing?" If he didn't say anything to her, why then was she looking this way.

Nodding her head, she answered him. "I can't say he acted nice, but he acted a bit differently. A bit less hostile, I guess? Did you say anything to him?" She asked, her eyes intently looking at him as she waited for his answer. She felt Dan-Han had a hand it. And the way he called her name before walking away felt like he had something to say, but what?

She didn't want Dan-Han to interfere with her and his dad's relationship. She didn't want him to have any misunderstanding with him because of her, and knowing the kind of man she was dating, she couldn't imagine what method he must have used on his father.

With her eyes intently trying to capture and analyse Dan-Han's reaction, she waited for his reply. After a few silent moments, Dan-Han finally replied, "I didn't say a word to him."

"Are you sure?" She asked in a sceptical tone while Dan-Han nodded his head. She sighed when she realised he was telling the truth. Then could this be his mother's doing? It seemed like something she could do.

It wasn't like she didn't like that there was a subtle change in father's Lee attitude towards her. It is just that she didn't want them to have any misunderstanding because of her by trying to make the man accept her and her poor and unknown background.historical

Noting the uneasy look in her eyes, he hugged her again. "If he wants to be nice to you, let him be nice, okay. After all, it's in our best interest if he behaves accordingly." Dan-Han comforted her. Though he already knew his mother was behind his father's change of attitude, he didn't think it wise to burden her with that piece of information.

Eun-Sun had to agree with him. It would be in her favour if Father Lee accepted her, but it shouldn't be at the expense of his relationship with the others. Not wanting to ponder too much about it, Eun-sun tried to discard those thoughts out of her mind.
