3.1 • nightmares with blood

It was almost night time and
Everyone was looking for y/n.
The police had added her to the
missing person's list and added
Taeyong as a suspect, according to
Mingi and fellow high school students,
who had seen the last two together.

Her parents were panicking.
While her mom stayed at home,
Yeosang and her dad looked for her.
Yang xi and Jang Peng looked on
their side of the city. Seonghwa,
Jongho and Mingi were looking
separately.

Yunho couldn't help since he
was occupied with his school work.
Hongjoong had been offline the entire
day. Wooyoung was sick. Elysia
couldn't go out herself, so she had
sent out some of her servants. One of
her father's friends was at a high post, pushing the case ahead.

It was almost night time,
Yeosang and y/n's dad were heading back.

YEOSANG:
"um- can we talk?"

Y/N'S DAD:
"yes, yeosang."

YEOSANG:
"i'm sorry for not being
able to take care of her."

YEOSANG:
"i know you aren't blaming
me, but it must be there,
in the back of your mind."

YEOSANG:
"i'm sorry I couldn't protect
her, like I was supposed too.
I am sorry that I couldn't
protect your daughter, when
all you've done is be nothing
but kind towards me."

Y/N'S DAD:
"son, listen to me."

Y/N'S DAD:
"it wasn't anything you
could control. You weren't
at her school. It wasn't your
job to protect her if you
weren't there."

Y/N'S DAD:
"I'm not blaming
you for anything. Even if
you were there, I know
you would have given
your best to protect my
daughter."

Y/N'S DAD:
"i trust you, yeosang.
I let you live under my roof
because I love you, as a son.
You're part of the family.
And family means to forgive."

Y/N'S DAD:
"not that it was your fault
in the first place."

Y/N'S DAD:
"family can be regardless
of blood, always present
despite the time, here to
count on. It's the most
precious gift we get."

He pat Yeosang on the back.

YEOSANG:
"thanks-"

Y/N'S DAD:
"dad."

Y/N'S DAD:
"call me dad from now on,
son."

Yeosang smiled.

San had been dragging himself for
hours and hours now. He was
far away from the place Yuta had
kept him, in the outskirts of the city.
There were only a few shops and
motels.

San had found a payphone and
had called for Jo and Nara, with
whatever money he had.
He had told them to contact
Jongho asap.
Although, Jo and Nara couldn't
come immediately, so they asked one
of their friends to help San.
