Dan-Han was stunned when he heard Eun-sun. He looked around but he couldn't see the person she was talking about. He had seen photos of her father so he should be able to recognize him.

Dan-Han frowned when Eun-sun started walking ahead, craning her neck as she kept looking for the person she had seen. She kept turning around in circles as she desperately searched for him.

​​

Dan-Han quickly followed her and grabbed her by the hand. He felt a pang on his chest when he saw the frantic and desperate look on her face. Her eyes were still roaming around not minding the fact that he was holding her.

"Eun-sun are you sure you saw him?" Dan-Han asked his eyes curiously fixed on her. Eun-sun turned to look at him and slowly nodded her head, before looking away again. She was sure she had seen him. He had walked past her and had maintained eye contact with her, though he had glasses on she still knew that was her father. Wearing glasses at night? That even confirmed her suspicions that it was indeed her father.

"Dan-Han I saw him. It was him." She said in a frantic note. Her voice sounding emotional.

Not liking the way she looked or sounded Dan-Han pulled her close to his chest and hugged her tightly.

"Dan-Han." She called out softly. She still wanted to look around, maybe he was close by but Dan-Han's hug wasn't letting her. She had seen him, she was sure. Though Dan-Han's hug was comforting and she felt protected in his arms, she still wanted to look around. Maybe, just maybe she could see him.

She had been looking for him for ten years, there was no way she could forget that face, his gaze, the way his lips curved into a smile whenever he saw her. That was her father.

But why did he just walk past? Didn't he see her? He had looked at her, so why did he pass by her? Maybe he was...

Pulling away from the hug she looked at Dan-Han, she anxiously gripped his hand and desperately pleaded, "Dan-Han please take home. I'm sure that was father and he would be go home. Maybe he has gone to see mother." Dan-Han looked at her sadly. Right now, the girl before him wasn't looking like the Eun-sun he knew. She was like a little girl who desperately wanted to believe what she had seen. She wanted to see her father again.

But then did she see the right person?

With her hazel eyes almost glistening with tears, and an irresistible pleading look plastered on her face Dan-Han sighed and nodded his head, "Okay." He knew the home she was talking about. It was the one where her mother lived. He had a feeling she wouldn't him there that was only if she had seen the right person.

Holding her hand he led her to the car, he picked up his phone and sent a quick text to his surbordinate who quickly replied with an, 'Okay boss.'

He revved the car to life and drove for Eun-sun's house. A lot of thoughts were going through his mind as he drove. 'Did she really see her father? If she did, that what did he mean by showing his face to her in such a way?' He looked at Eun-sun who looked like she could hardly wait to get there. She must have missed her father so much.

But then Dan-Han didn't think such a man was someone to be missed. He wasn't judging, but from what he had investigated about the man, he was convinced he'd bring Eun-sun trouble. And if he wanted to see his family, couldn't he have done it in a better way?

And that brought back the question she had been asking herself. 'Just how did she get entangled with such parents?'

With so many unanswered questions in his mind Dan-Han stepped on the pedal and drove to her place and in no time they got there.

He watched as Eun-sun hopped out of the car and ran to the door almost tripping on her way. He also followed her behind.

He paused when he saw her hand hanging mid air. Why wasn't she knocking? He asked himself. It looked as if she was listening to what was being said inside the house.

He walked closer and that was when he heard happy chuckles coming from the door. With her actions he knew that her father wasn't there. Whoever was behind that door was someone she knew hence why she wasn't knocking.

He was only a few feets from her when his phone suddenly chimed, it was a message from his surbordinate. He looked at the video clip he had sent him, and his brows narrowed when he saw the man. It was truly him.

She has indeed seen her father.

Earlier he had asked his men to look through the CCTV in the area where he and Eun-sun had been standing earlier at the specific time she had seen him. And from the footage the man had just walked right past her and he had looked at her with a smirk on his face. He saw he avoided the cameras but it had captured a part of his face which was recognizable.

Why did he mean by this? Why did he make an appearance to her?

Dan-Han wasn't comfortable with this development. He slipped his phone into his pocket and looked at her. She was still standing stiffly by the door, her hand still hanging in the air. He sighed before closing in on her and hugging her from behind.

"That was him right?" She muttered to one in particular, her voice was almost in a whisper, but Dan-Han replied.

"You might have saw wrong." But Eun-sun shook her head. She was sure she had seen him. It was her father. She couldn't see her father and not recognize him right?

Dan-Han turned her around so she could face him, he sighed when he saw tears stinging her eyes. He cupped her cheek, and lifted her face upward so she could look at him. His eyes were contemplative as he thought about what to do. He has to make a decision, which involved telling her the truth. She had to prepare herself for whatever was about to come.

"Let's go to my place I have something to show you."
