|Weak Hero| Dara Na [Old Version]

Chapter 22

Dara sat on a bench in a park, finally resting after running all night. 'I know I shouldn't have run away. I know it was a bad decision made during a time of distress. I know I should've just stayed and talk to my family, or even at least to Gray,' He rested his head in his hands. 'But I just feel like a burden to everyone. Part of me wanted to stay, but I also thought it'd be easier if the problem, me, disappeared from everyone's lives,'

'It's not easier, I know that. Everyone's probably looking for me right now. They're all worried sick. But they'll probably forget about me over time. They have to forget about me over time. It'll be better for them. Without me, there won't be any problems,'

His stomach growled but he didn't take any food out of his bag. 'I have to make my food last as long as possible. I can endure eating every few days. Donald and I have gone days without food when we were living with Lukas and Amy, so this is nothing,'

Dara's expression changed to one of confusion. 'Can I even still use the name Dara Na? It was originally meant for Eunchan. I can't go by Jason Ji because I'm not him. I can't go by Ace Go because I'm not him either. Just who am I supposed to be now?'

"There are no signs of a struggle," Kingsley looked around the room. "It looks like he took some snacks, drinks, and clothes with him, so he wasn't kidnapped. He ran away,"

"Why would he run away!?" Donald anxiously fidgeted with his rings.

"Guilt," Kingsley said. "He must've blamed himself for what happened back at the restaurant,"

"It wasn't his fault!" Donald ran a hand through his hair with frustration. "It was that bitch's fault, not Dara's! Why would Dara even blame himself!?"

"Donald, calm down and take a deep breath before you hyperventilate," Dad Kwan advised. "We'll find him,"

"He never ran away before," Donald said. "Will he even be fine on his own? Especially on the streets?"

"Donald, let's start searching," Kingsley told him. "We have a lot of land to cover,"

This is all I had left of Chapter 22 before rewriting the entire story.
