Chapter 11 - He's back

Flashback to 6yrs ago

Mr X: I made sure she got a scholarship at a good school far away from here

Miss Park: Omo thank you

Mr X:She shouldn't return here it's best she stays far away.If she can she should get a job there and start a new life

Miss Park: Thank you so much.

Mr X:Don't thank me

Miss Park: I have to,you care for us so much

Mr X:I don't care ,I just have a conscience,once I get that in check you'll need to stay away from me.

Miss Park:(confused) Why?

Mr X:I will not be able to save you from myself .

Miss Park: Omo

Mr X:In fact this is the last time I'll see you ,if we're to run into each other by chance act like you don't know me.If you are to get into trouble ,I will not help you. You're on your own now.Forget I exist or suffer the consequences.

Miss Park: I will stay out of your way.I will try to get Hae Won in check as well.Thank you for everything

Mr X :Goodbye

Present time

Miss Park receives a text from Mr X with an address of where they should meet up.

Miss Park: (surprised) Omo...after all these years ....i hope everything is okay.

She leaves the hospital and heads there .When she arrives Mr X is already waiting for her.

Mr X:(serious) You're late

Miss Park: I'm sorry I couldn't find a taxi to bring me here.How are you

Mr X:Let's cut to the chase.You know why i called you here

Miss Park: No sir

Mr X:I thought we agreed she'd stay in America

Miss Park: (nervous) She didn't want ,she didn't even warn me she's was leaving. She just showed up suddenly

Mr X:Is that keeping her in check?

Miss Park: Well no I'm sorry, she's a bit headstrong.But I promise she won't get into any trouble

Mr X:(chuckles) If that were true I wouldn't be meeting an old lady at this dingy place at 2am .Would I?

Miss Park:(suspicious) How did you even know she came back.

Mr X:I have eyes everywhere.

Miss Park: I promise she's harmless.She even has a job now.

Mr X:The job which pays her 10% of what she would get at that job in America

Miss Park: You know about that too?

Mr X:How do you think she even got the offer.

Miss Park:(surprised) Omo

Mr X:And I guess you also don't know she ran into Mr Lee as well

Miss Park: Is that why...

Mr X:(cutting her off)She's in the hospital?...You're really slow aren't you

Miss Park: I'm sorry.

Mr X:Save it .I just wanted to remind you that I won't be here to help you when you get into trouble ok.This my last warning.

Miss Park: Okay

He storms off.

Miss Park: What happened to him...He's changed so much...I no longer see the light in his eyes.

As shes on her way back to the hospital She receives a message from the doctor stating that Hae Won is missing.

Miss Park: Driver hurry up.

When she gets there the doctor hands her a note

Dear mom

I'm sorry I couldn't fall asleep nor wait for you.I need to get some fresh air.I will come home when I'm feeling better. You should go get some sleep.Don't worry about me.

From Yeona

Miss Park:(frustrated) How can I not worry.Where could she be at this hour.

MEANWHILE....Hae Won is at the funeral home .

Hae Won:(smiling) Hey Yuri...Sorry I haven't been around ...Dont worry your Hae Won didn't forget you...They gave me another name...(laughing) Now they are calling me Yeona....I feel like I'm living a lie...But it's still better than my reality ...I saw that monster today...I thought I could handle it but he caught me off guard....He didn't even notice me ....(chuckles) Isn't that sad....And that man who shot me after saying he would save me...He saved me from getting run over....If he knew better he would've just let me die then and there because I won't show him any mercy...You'll see ...Next time I'll come with flowers...Goodbye for now

She makes her way home and finds Miss Park who has fallen asleep in her room

Hae Won :(smiling) She's too precious...Don't worry mom everything will be alright.

She gets on her laptop and immediately starts going through Mr Oh's files .

Hours later

Miss Park is woken up by Hae Wons alarm .

Miss Park :(sad)She worked even after all that she went through.You're are strong girl Hae Won.

She lays Hae Won down properly then gets ready to go out.She arrives at Hae Won's work place and there's a strange man at the elevator. It's Mr Jung who was hoping someone would show up.

Mr Jung:You're a life saver I've been waiting for 30 minutes And no one was showing up

Miss Park: Can't you go in one your own

Mr Jung:I can ,I'm just afraid to

Miss Park: Why didn't you use the stairs then

Mr Jung :(laughing) I'm quite lazy.

Miss Park:(weirded out) Awe ,I see.

Mr Jung:What brings you here?

Miss Park: I wanted to talk with my daughter's boss.

Mr Jung:Mmm why is that

Miss Park:Something happened yesterday so I'd like to talk to him personally that all

Mr Jung: (nervous) Awe Whats her name

Miss Park: Park Yeona.
