Yeonwoo's POV
I woke up with a smile still plastered on my face
Did I sleep like this?
"It's a new day for me and my Nancy" I said to myself as I got out of the bed and did some stretching
I'm always excited to see her even if we were just together last night
What can I do? She's my happy pill
We didn't have plans for today
But since we're still on break, and the girls will attend their classes, I think I'll just take Nancy out on a date
I went to brush my teeth and practiced on the mirror
"Will you go out on a date with me?"
Seems too cute
"Let's go out on a date, Aenaen"
Too assumptive
"Hey" I said pointing the brush to myself on the mirror "Let's have a date"
I laughed at myself. Too aggressive
Well, she'll say yes anyway
She has no choice
She should be awake now
I checked on my phone, but there's no good morning from my Nancy
Maybe she's still sleeping
After brushing, I decided to go downstairs to check on my girlfriend
I gathered myself up before knocking on her door
"Good morning, Gorgeous!"
I didn't get an answer, so I knocked again
"Rise and shine, Princess!"
I still didn't get an answer
"Oh, Nancy!...." I chuckled after imitating the usual voice of aunts or godmothers in a Disney movie
What's up with this girl? Is she sleeping so deep?
"Hey! Nancy Jewel Mcdonie!"
The door finally opened. But a sad JooE greeted me
"Yeonwoo unnie"
"Hey, what's with that face? Where's Nancy?" I asked as I entered the room
Nancy's bed is empty
"She's not here" she answered not looking at me
"What do you mean?" I smiled asking her. I feel like they're just making fun of me
"She already left, unnie. She had to" JooE said still looking at the ground
I chuckled "You're a good actress, JooE. Nancy, come out! Nice prank, but it's not working" I said as I sat on her bed
JooE's voice started to crack as she spoke "I wish this is just a prank, unnie" she started to cry
My chest felt heavy
"She had to leave. Her father fetched her early this morning" she continued
She then took an envelope from their study table and handed it to me "Here. She told me to give it to you once you're awake"
I took the letter and my tears started to fall as I read it
My Dabin,
First of all I want to say sorry. I'm sorry for leaving without letting you know beforehand.
Please don't think that I wanted to. It's just that I had to.
My father found out about us and he was really mad.
I felt so afraid, Dabin. I'm afraid of the things he would do to us, specially you, if I chose to stay.
I don't want him to ruin your life because of me.
I know you're thinking I'm the one ruining your life now, but please don't think that way.
I love you. I love you more than anything or anyone else, that's why I want to protect you.
I might already be on-board by the time you're reading this letter, sleepy head.
I'm sorry for not waking you up. I could not bear to see you cry if I bid goodbye in person.
Please don't forget about me.
Continue to live a happy life with our girls. Don't do anything to harm yourself.
Live, Dabin. Not just for me, but for yourself too.
Thank you for taking care of me, and for giving me so much love. And that I will carry with me at always.
I love you so much, Dabin.
I always will.
Until then,
Your Nancy
JooE patted my back as I my tears kept on flowing
"I'm sorry, unnie. I couldn't do anything either. But she told me she will be back, when the right time comes"
"What time is her departure?" I asked with anger evident on my voice
I'm not mad at Nancy, but on the situation
"U-unnie?"
"What time will her flight take off?"
"S-she said at 9:30am" JooE seemed nervous
I looked at the time and it's only 7:25
"She thinks I sleep that much?!"
"Y-you do, unnie" mumbled JooE
I stood up and walked out of the room
"Unnie, where are you going?!"
Hyebin, Daisy and Ahin are at the hallway
"Hey, where are you going?" asked Hyebin
"I'm going to get my girl back" I said while walking
"That's my baby. I'm a proud mama. Let me go with you" said Hyebin with full of enthusiasm
"We'll go with you too, unnie" said Daisy and Ahin
"Hey! Don't leave me here" shouted JooE who also tagged along
I borrowed my dad's car and drove to the airport
The traffic didn't help as it was moderate to heavy
I looked at the time, it's 8:13
I'm getting frustrated
They most likely checked in already. But at least Nancy is still there
I still have hopes
The light turned green and I drove as fast as I could
I took the shortest route possible
"U-unnie, I know we're in a hurry, but please be careful. I still have plans for the future" said Ahin who is obviously getting scared
"I know what I'm doing"
We reached the airport at 8:28
"Ms Lee, you're here" said one of the guards who recognized me
They know me because my mother is the Vice President of the Human Resources and People Operations in the airport
"Yes, I need to see someone in there"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Lee. But you know the rules. We can't let you in unless you have a scheduled flight"
"You don't understand. I badly need to see this person"
"I'm really sorry, Ms Lee. I would let you in if it's just me. But my hands are tied. I'm just following orders"
"Ugh!" I groaned in frustration
I took my phone and dialled my mom's number
"Mom.."
"Honey. You called"
"I'm at the airport. I need to see someone. They won't let me in. I-I need your help" my voice starts to crack
"Baby, you know we have rules"
"I know mom, I know. But I can't afford to lose her"
"Oh my God! Is it Nancy?"
"Yes, Mom. Her father fetched her earlier. And she's leaving"
"Dabin! Did you two have a fight?"
"No! No we didn't. I'll explain everything later. But please let me in.. Please?"
"Alright.Wait for me"
"God! Thanks, mom!"
The guards let us in as soon as my mother arrived
I hugged her and thanked her before running to the passenger area

Nancy's POV
"Wipe those tears. I don't want to see or hear you crying" Dad said with an angry tone
"Richard, stop scolding the kid. There are other people around us" said Mom, who is starting to get pissed off by the way my father acts
We're about to enter the departure sector when I heard Yeonwoo's voice
"Jagiya!"
"Oh my. Is that Yeonwoo?" asked Brenda unnie looking at the person approaching "She's gorgeous" she whispered
It's indeed Yeonwoo
"Da-.. U-unnie"
"Nancy.." she said almost out of breath
My dad held my wrist and dragged me to the departure sector "We've already talked about this, young lady. Get in!"
"Richard! She's hurting! Stop making a scene!" mom couldn't help but worry
"Nancy!" yelled Yeonwoo
I looked back at her while I'm being dragged with tears in my eyes "I'm sorry" I muttered
"Nancy!!!!" she cried out
An unbearable pain struck my chest as I heard Yeonwoo shouting my name
God knows how much I want to disappear from where I am right now
And just suddenly appear at Yeonwoo's side
If only I could
