" You learned to run from what you feel, and that's why you have nightmares. To deny is to invite madness. To accept is to control. "

-Megan Chance


The room was every shade of white, from a pure snow color to an ivory shade. While the smell of cigarettes, along with coffee, was hitting her nostrils, the sudden yells coming from the end of the hallway alarmed the young woman.

Nana hurried her steps toward the room, and to her surprised, she was faced with a messy scene of different police officers, interrogating men, and women, crying and yelling with anger and frustration.

She was indeed at the Seoul Gangnam police station. And as she tried to process the situation, her eyes fell on this familiar figure.

His head lowered as if something sharp and cold dug into his skin. She looked down and observed the handcuffs that were holding his hands to the table.

" Dad...! " She yelled out.

Upon hearing his daughter's voice Sungwoo slowly turned his head her way, " Nana? What are you doing here? " He asked as he tried to stand up from his seat, but the man sitting in front of him prevented him to do so.

" What are you doing? Sir, sit back. " Instructed the detective before he turned to Nana. " And you, who are you, miss? "

Ignoring the detective's question she walked toward her father, followed by Jimin. " What are you doing here? Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing? "

He lowered his head and took a deep breath. " I'm taking responsibility, Nana. And I'm taking Jinyoung with me. "

She frowned before she turned toward the detective and requested for the handcuffs to be taken off.

The man grimaced at her and scoffed, " And who are you? Why are you getting- "

Jimin stepped protectively in front of Nana and interrupted, " She is this man's daughter. And unless you have arrested him and had already filed charges against him, there is no need- "

" I asked them, Jimin. " Interrupted Nana's father.

He looked at them with his tired eyes and explained, " I told you I will find a way. This is it. If I confess for the drug dealing I was involved in with Jinyoung in the past, there is a way for him to be punished too. "

" But not for the right crime! What about mother?! "

He gritted his teeth and exclaimed, " It's for her I'm doing this! "

The young woman flinched at his sudden outburst before her shoulders hung low as her brain had proceeded his words.

" If there is even a chance for us to get to him, this is it. At least, it will leave you enough time for you two to finish him. " He said as his eyes darkened.

" Wha- "

Her father's hands reached out to cup her face, and smiled, " I'm sorry, child. Your incompetent father is bringing you pain again, but this time, I swear, I'm going to stop this pain and avenge your mother. " Then he released her and turned his eyes toward Jimin, " I'm leaving the rest to you. I've already spoken to the police about your disappearance so you don't have to worry about that anymore. "

Suddenly, the noise of something being slammed against the table startled Nana. She looked to her right and saw the detective with a document in hand and an agitated look in his eyes. " Can someone explain to me what is going on? Who are you two? What is your relationship with Park Jinyoung? Why are you talking about avenging someone? Huh?! "
