" Are you open for a talk now, father? "

His dark eyes widened and asked while stuttering, " Wha-What are you doing he-here? "

She frowned. Her father still couldn't understand after what she had explained to him? Frustrated, she told him, " I came here to get answers. I told you I wouldn't- "

" No, not you. " Said Kim Seungwoo before he pointed at the other male, " Him. "

Her eyes shifted from her father to the man that was standing just beside her, and before she asked him what he was talking about, the old man proceeded to ask.

" What are you doing here? Does Jinyoung know that you are with here, Nana? This can't be... Did she really recover- "

However, Jimin suddenly interrupted him. " We are the one to ask you questions. "

Her eyes traveled back and forth between the two men, and it was clear that they were both familiar with each other.

She leaned toward Jimin and asked, " What is he talking about? Isn't it supposed to be your first time meeting my father? "

" ... No. " He truthfully answered as he kept his eyes on him.

She scoffed. " Okay, time out. How do you both know each other? " She stepped between them and eyed them while waiting for an answer.

" How can I not know him? He is Jinyoung's nephew. Park Jimin. " Finally answered her father. " But why are you here? Why did you bring her here? Don't you know that- "

" And you think doing that is better? " Interrupted Jimin. " For how long are you going to keep the truth from her? Don't you think she has the right to- "

" As if you would know! What could you do back then? You were only a kid! You- "

" Enough!! " Nana screamed out.

Both men snapped their heads towards her, surprised by her outburst. " I thought I made myself clear that I didn't want any more lies, from both of you. Especially you, Jimin. "

" Nana... "

She sighed. " Okay, let's get things straight. " She closed her eyes to take a deep breath and asked her father, " How do you know Jimin's uncle? "

" ...Me and Jinyoung have been friends since college, along with your mother. I know Jimin parent's too, but I've never really been close with them. " He explained as he walked toward the living room and sat on the couch. " That's why I sent you to Jinyoung. I knew how good and serious he is about his patients, so I left you with him, in hope- "

" In hope for what?! "

He groaned, " In hope, he would do the same thing as he did years ago. "

" What do you mean? " asked Jimin this time.

Kim Seungwoo took a can of Soju and took a seep as his eyes blankly stared at the wall, " It is true that after the accident, you lost your memory, Nana. However, every year, near the time of your mother's death, you would have crises. So I took you to Jinyoung and explained the situation to him. He said it was psychological trauma and performed hypnotherapy on you. He said that memories are changeable, and so are the emotions and thoughts that are attached to that memory. "

" I don't understand. "

Her father looked at her, " I didn't send you there to get rid of you, Nana, but to make sure that those horrible memories from that night wouldn't open old wounds. A few months ago, Jinyoung asked me to take you to him to verify that everything was fine with you, and so I did. You only needed to stay there for a few weeks, and that would have been it. Like every year. "
