Part 22 :

No matter how big the mall was, Aldrich didn't gave up to find Rose. He entered the every stores and he could feel that his feet were getting swollen for walking too long.

In a middle of searching, Rose received a call from Dad. He quite felt hesitated to answer and for the first time, he didn't pick up the call.

'I'm so sorry Dad..' Aldrich turned his phone into a silent mode with a heavy heart and continue his journey to find Rose with late evening.

It's was getting darker and he still couldn't find her shadow yet. Jungkook walked around the mall and couldn't find her yet. He looked at the phone screen and got six missed call from Dad. He felt guilty but had no other choice. Aldrich thought that maybe Rose gone back to the resort and he immediately called the staffs over there but one of staffs said her had not come back yet, that's made him worried even more.

The cloudy sky had replaced by the once black that time. It was time for the mall to close its door.

"It's already 10 p.m.?" Aldrich widened his eyes and wondered for how long that he'd been out just to search for Rose. He walked along the quiet path and parched the wall in frustration.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Aldrich cursed under his breath as the sweat rolled down his cheeks. Aldrich couldn't imagine if something bad happened to her all because of his fault. He regretted for being so harsh to her and promised not to be that harsh anymore if he given a second chance.

Finally, God listened to his prayer and gifted him the second chance that he wanted. Aldrich put his head up as he suddenly heard a sobbing nearby him.

"Aldrich... Is that you?" Rose sobbed.

"Rose?" Aldrich widened his eyes and ran to her. He cupped both of her cheeks and examined her from head to toe to make sure her didn't wounded anywhere.

"I forgot to bring my credit card and my phone. I only have some money and I've spent everything for these.." Rose sobbed while showing him her shopping bags and foods too.

"I think I'm lost and... and-"

Before Rose could even speak more, Jungkook suddenly pulled her into a warm and tight hug and because of that Rose is astonished.

"I'm sorry..." Aldrich whispered and tightened the hug as if he didn't want to let go. The feel of her body so close to his soothed him more than he expected.

His embrace was warm and his big arms very protective when wrapped around her frail body. Rose felt safe and comfortable like in a perfect dream that she want. Has no worries, no tears, just a calm feeling. Rose trembling arm automatically wrapped his back, appreciating the moments, didn't want to let go.

'If this is really a dream... Please don't wake me up... Let me cherish this moment...'
