" You can run away from yourself so often, and so much, just because the broken pieces of you cut your feet too deeply if you stay around for too long. But then what if someone were to come along and pick up those pieces for you? Then you wouldn't have to run away from yourself anymore. You could stop running. If someone sees you as something worth staying with— maybe you'll stay with yourself, too. "

The smell of alcohol and cigarettes were traveling all around the room. As laughter and shoutings were the only things that could be heard in this bar. The young woman exchanged a few glances with a few men, but when their stares started to increase, she had grown anxious and knew it was time for her to leave.

With her head down, she stood up from her seat and walked toward the exit.

Finally, out she looked around her, and when her eyes met with his dark one, she sighed and disappointedly stepped toward his car.

" Found anything? "

She shook her head. Jimin smiled at her as he gently patted my shoulder, " We will find him. What's the next place? "

Nana agreed as she took out a notebook as several place's names were crossed already. Jimin and herself arrived in Seoul early in the morning and immediately started looking for her father.

They knew that they were both searched by the police, or at least that's what they had initially thought. There hasn't been any direct report about the young man's disappearance, which made him think that his uncle hadn't told anything to the police.

Park Jinyoung was a bright man, and Jimin knew that he would have no much difficulty figuring things out. His uncle knew him like the back of his hand as he raised him as his own son. And his recent actions and rebellions against him couldn't have made it more clear to him.

He was the nephew of a prestigious psychiatric hospital director. No harm should be bestowed on him, neither disgrace. Yet, the public was not aware that they were running away from those who were actually harming them.

" Our next stop is the Honey Lavender Bar. " Quickly replied, Nana.

The raven-haired male nodded his head as he tapped the address in his GPS while Nana was thinking of where else they could find her father.

They spend a few hours like this until they had enough and decided to make a stop at a fast-food and eat something. Jimin has been driving for several hours now, so it was no wonder he felt tired.

He carefully hides his face with a mask and black cap as he went to fetch their lunch, then quickly left the restaurant to join Nana back in the car. At the slight sign of a police car or police officer, the young man would get anxious.

He was a psychologist who graduated from medical school just a few months ago and managed to work under his uncle. Then, changed his plan to help his patient to run away. As for Nana, she was an ordinary young woman who suffered from post-traumatic memory loss.

Her life had changed on the night her mother had lost her life. Even though she was a harmless patient who ran away, they had portrayed her as someone dangerous to the police and society.

From the day Nana had been administrated into the B SECTION, Jimin had always wondered why his uncle had troubled himself with Nana. Taking Jimin away from her case, replacing him with Dr. Jin, and even keeping Jimin away from her. He clearly couldn't understand his uncle, but he knew what type of man he was. And this was enough reason for him to keep the young woman away from him until he was to understand the situation better.
