It was my colleague Mark.

"Yoooo, look who's back," he said excitedly and took me into a big hug.

I couldn't help but chuckle at his action.

"Yaaaah, can't you see two long-lost besties are having their heartfelt meetup," cried Sana while hitting Mark.

"Well, actually, you should be the one to excuse us as we like each other," he then turned to me before continuing. "Isn't it Y/N?"

Sana hit his shoulder once again with more force.

"Hey, stop hitting on me, I am not yours."

I couldn't help but laugh watching my two clown best friends.

They looked at me with affection.

"Why? What is it?" I asked when I caught them staring at me.

"Nothing, it just feels nice to have a good time after all these months again," Mark said with such sincere eyes.

I pulled them into a group hug. "I missed you guys."

"We missed you more, dummy."

This way we spent a great reunion of ours.

1 year later

I came back after a long and tiring day at the office and landed straight on my couch.

As I was exhausted enough, I started to doze off there.

My father was already home, maybe in his room.

He came out of his room as the maid told him about my return. His lips curved into a sad smile as he saw my sleeping figure.

Then the maid tried to wake me up, but he signaled her not to.

He sat beside me and stroked my head while thinking about all the hard times I went through because of that horrible incident that happened more than a year ago.

But he was more than proud of me that even after having such a big loss, I was able to smile again.

He always felt sorry for me as I grew up without the care of a mother.

"I know you are awake, now get up."

Actually, I woke up when he stroked my hair for the first time, but I pretended to sleep because I don't get this often.

I sat up straight and whined, "How do you know?"

"I am your father," he said after he kissed me on the forehead.

I took him in a tight hug and said, "I know, and you are the best one out there."

He then broke the hug and said, "Go freshen up, and let's have dinner, then I have something to discuss with you."

He said that in a serious tone, enough to make me curious about what it is.

After we had our dinner, he made me sit on the couch beside him.

He let out a deep sigh before starting and held my hand.

"See, I don't want to make you uncomfortable, but... I would like it if you start thinking about your future, dear."

I know what he meant by that.

He finally wants me to move on, and to be honest, I was thinking about the same. But the problem was that I don't think I will be able to find anyone again.

I gathered the courage to finally say this, "Dad, I know you want me to move on now, and I think the same, that it's time for me to start thinking about myself again."

Those words gave him some relief. "But..." I continued.

"I just cannot think of someone right now."

"It's fine, dear. I mean, if you would like, then I would like to introduce someone," he said with hope in his eyes.

"Yeah, sure, Dad," I said, smiling.

"Well, you must be knowing him; it's Na Jaehyun's son, Na Jaemin."
