Chapter 22

"Goodbye, I have enjoyed here with you so much. But now I have to leave for my own place," said Eun to her granny. "Goodbye dear, I will miss you so much. Take good care of yourself and that boy. And don't let him go. He is very nice and kind. He has a pure heart. So you will always be happy if he stays by your side." said her granny.

"Which boy?" asked Eun surprisingly. Eun nearly forgot about Tae Jin.

"Why are you acting like this? You understand what I want to say. Right?" said her granny and smiled softly. Eun can understand now. But could not tell her granny the truth. She just nodded. Ji Na and Kang Ji Hyung left the day Tae Jin left. And it's been a week since they are gone. Eun's holidays are over. So, she has to leave now. Yeong Joon's mother was there too. She said, "Eun, you took care of my son a lot. How can I thank you? I got him back because of you. Thank you for everything."

"Why are you saying that? It's my duty. And one more thing, you got him back but you will lose him soon." said Eun and smiled.

"What? How?" both of the ladies got afraid.

"Don't worry. I will take him after some days. He will study there. He will stay with me. I noticed that he doesn't listen to you. But he listened to me. So, I assure you, I will make him a nice person, you will be proud one day." said Eun and smiled again.

"I have faith in you. But how will I repay you? I have nothing. And I am too poor that I can not send money for his study expenses. Isn't it too expensive to study in the city?" said the lady.

"You don't have to repay me. And if you want that much then please do just one job and that is, take care of my sweet candy," said Eun and smiled softly.

"Of course I will. You owe me more than this. But if you want, I will do this happily forever." saying this the lady began to cry. "Don't cry. He can be with you for some days. After some days I will come and take him. Now, I should leave." said Eun and left. When she was on the bus, she remembered when she came here someone was with her. And he was beside her. But now, she is all alone. "Well, I have to stay like this. I will not allow anyone to come near to me. And he was not an ordinary boy. He was an idol. So, he will forget about me eventually." said Eun. But she didn't know that she had fallen for him. And now, she misses him. But she doesn't admit that to herself. And the idol boy didn't forget about her. Maybe he will not forget about her any day. Because he also likes her a lot. But both of them refused to admit it. When she came home, it's evening. She went there after fifteen days. And now, she has to clean the house because it's full of dust. When she came to clean her bed, she saw Tae Jin on her bed and screamed like she saw a ghost. So, she closed her eyes and opened to confirm it. But when she opened her eyes she saw that there was no one in the room. She forgot that she lived alone because it's been four months since she brought Damien here and started living with him. Now, she misses those days. "What are you thinking? You want to stay alone. So, why do you need a company now? Strange girl! Don't you think about it again." she thought. Suddenly she remembered that she has to go to work tomorrow and she also has to go to college. So, she will not get time to do household works tomorrow. And so, she stopped thinking and started working quickly. "Grandma made me lazy. My hands are not moving faster like before," she said to herself.

[In the living room of SBS]

"Ah! What a busy day!" said Young Soo. "Yeah, I am very tired," said Tae Jin.

"Me too," said Jeong Eun and Jung Hwa.

"Need some rest now," said Kang Min.

"I am so tired that I can't even talk," said Ha Joon lying on a couch. "Good work boys, you have proved yourself today. I know that you can do this. Keep it up like this. See, fans are saying that your charms are also increasing besides your talent." said the manager happily. Jeong Eun took the phone from him and saw that there were so many messages. And all were wanting to listen their new songs. But he found some tweets and those were not about their song or albums. Those are for a member. Woo Jin didn't notice these or he was avoiding these. So, he shows it to Tae Jin.

"Look, what are they saying?"

"What? Show me." saying this Tae Jin took the phone from his hand. Tae Jin saw that there were messages for him. Some people were saying that they do not like him anymore. Some are saying that SBS should not keep him anymore. Tae Jin was happy before he watched this. But now, he gets sad and worried. "What's wrong?" asking Ha Joon and took the phone from him. But before he watches it, Woo Jin snatched the phone from him and said, "well-done boys. Now, you should take rest. So, go to your room." Then he left from there. Ha Joon and Kang Min were surprised and kept looking at each other. When Tae Jin came back to his room, he saw that his clothes were on the bed until now. Maybe the housekeeper did not come today. He thought. He keeps those in his cupboard and while he was keeping those, he found that black blazer, which he was wearing in New York. It was washed and ironed. He took it and saw it carefully. Suddenly he remembers that it might help them to find about the night. So, he called detective Leo.

"Could you find anything about that number?" asked Tae Jin.

"It is a Korean user number, not American. And the number is registered by a girl. Her age is 25. Her name is Min Seo. She lives in Gangnam. But we couldn't find out where she is right now. We tried to call the number several times but it's not available." said from the other side of the phone.

"Could you come here? I have some important things to show you." said Tae Jin.

"I am busy tomorrow. So, if you want I can come right now." said the detective. "Okay, then come as soon as possible." After about an hour the detective come to SBS house. Tae Jin was waiting for him. So, when he entered the house, Tae Jin was there.

"Oh! You came? Come with me." saying this Tae Jin took him to his room. There was no one else. They all were in their own rooms. So nobody could know that the detective came.

"Look at this." said Tae Jin and showed him his favorite blazer.

"It's nice," said Leo.

"Isn't it? It is my favourite dress. I want to wear it every day." said Tae Jin happily. "So, you called me to show this? At this time?" said Leo being surprised.

"Oh! No no, not at all. I thought maybe it could help us to find the truth." said Tae Jin being excited.

"How? Ah! I understand. You were wearing this that night. Right?" asked Leo. He acted like he sorted out something.

"Yes," answered Tae Jin.

"But it could be easier if you didn't wash and ironed it," said Leo.

"Sorry. I never take care of my things. It's all done by our servants." said Tae Jin. "Okay, could you tell me more about that night?" asked Leo.

"I could not remember more than I told you." Tae Jin said with a disappointing voice.

"Then, tell me, when you woke up what did you see? How did you find out that something wrong happened to you?" asked the detective

"When I woke up, I went to the washroom and found many cut marks on my neck, arm, and belly. Then I came to the room. There was some bloodstain on the bed." said Tae Jin.

"Okay, which side of the belly? And which arm?" asked Leo.

"Right side of belly. Left arm and right side of neck." said Tae Jin surely.

"Are you sure you didn't wake up at the middle of your sleep?" asked the detective.

"I am not so sure. If I remember anything else, I will tell you." said Tae Jin

"Okay, I will take it with me." said The detective and left with his dress. Leo was a professional detective. So, when he go back to his workplace, he kept looking at the dress. And he found something strange. There was no blood stain on the cloth. If it's been washed so well, there would be some bloodstains. He saw several times, when a criminal wants to remove bloodstain, they washes it very well. And when they washed it, they think they could succeed but after the cloth is dried, a few marks of blood remains in the cloth. He thought that he couldn't see the stains because the blazer was black. But what about the t-shirt? It's white. He couldn't understand. And one more thing was, The blazer's sleeve was torn but its body was not torn or cut. If the girl attacked him on his belly, then the body of the blazer would have surely been cut. But It's not. Then, was Tae Jin wearing it? Or, Did he pull of his own cloth? Leo was thinking so deeply. "Is Tae Jin lying to me?" thought he. "I have to think deeply." he said to himself. On the other side, Tae Jin was also thinking deeply. He wanted to remember all of it. Or else, he can not prove himself. Suddenly he remembered about his dream which he saw last night. There was a girl who was sitting beside him. He was lying on that bed of New York. It seemed like he saw that scene before. But where? He could not remember.

"But the girl was not Eun. I saw Eun in my dream." said Tae Jin to himself. Suddenly he remembered where he saw the scene, He saw it in New York. When he was lying on the bed. A girl was there. She was sitting by his side. And he took the bottle from her hand. He sit up to drink the water. He went to the washroom. After he came to the room, the girl was not there. But she didn't attack him.
