Chapter 21 - I Am... Sorry

Everyone were looking for Da-Eun but couldn't find her. But didn't know that she came back to the place which was the last place she ever wanted to go to. She didn't want to face the truth but… she was a "coward" a BIG COWARD, which she couldn't deny.

As she went to her room and started unpacking things, she couldn't help but cry even though she knew that there is no use in crying after what she has done; there was no turning back now. She now knew the answers for everything about the things that she didn't remember buying, the dreams she got every night, it all came to light. She cried and said softly to herself "I… remember".

A month went away and they still didn't know where Da-Eun was. Nabi had no choice but to take care of Da-Eun's company while Da-Eun was away as Nabi still had hope that Da-Eun would come back for her. She had a lot of hope but… days were passing by and she still didn't hear anything from Da-Eun. She… was losing her hope in hoping that she would come back.

On the other side, Da-Eun got tired of just staying at home, it was like a jail… she wanted to get out of that jail but couldn't. One day she collected the courage to go out but when she got ready to go out… her mother stopped her and when Da-Eun didn't listen to her… her mother hit her and she fell on the ground; as soon as Da-Eun got hit, she remembered all of her childhood, she wanted to control herself but she had her panic attacks and fainted right away.

As Da-Eun woke up, and saw that no one was in her room with her, she rushed out of the bed and locked the door tight of her room… she was scared and wanted to turn back time, she cried and cried and cried. She was tired and broken. Suddenly, loud banging started on her door; she already knew that they'll bang at the door and she thought that she was ready for it but… as soon the banging on the door started, she was terrified; she took out her phone and started listening to music on the loudest volume on her earphones… she cried again as she crouched near the door of her room, she held herself tight and the night went away.

The next day, she didn't come out of her room or even the next day, or the day after that, the day after that. At last, her mother had to break the door to Da-Eun's room; she went inside and saw that the window of her room was left open and just to find that she ran away from home. But… it was as if Da-Eun was very unlucky.

As soon as they knew that Da-Eun ran away, unfortunately, Da-Eun's mother already attached GPS trackers on all of Da-Eun's belongings. As they started tracking her and finding her, they saw that Da-Eun was going a convenient store. They quickly went inside and saw her but… Da-Eun already saw them behind her because of the reflection from the windows in front of her. She didn't waste any time and ran; even thought Da-Eun was fast at running, they were faster. Da-Eun was not in her right mind and went to the road without thinking twice and… with the blink of an eye, she was there… laying on the road, with blood all over her. At a sec, people started gathering there and called 119. Suddenly, a man exclaimed, "Oh MY GOD!! SHE'S THE CEO THE XYZ COMPANY!!!" People recognised her after that, they were shocked. Da-Eun could still hear their muffled voices and their blurry faces and was even moving her fingers slowly. Then… she saw nothing, nor did she hear anything. She said slowly, "Nabi… Yeo-Joon… I am… Sorry."
