Chapter 4
"Hello?" In-su was facing the glass window of his study room. "You're in Seoul now? Where will I send my driver to pick you up?" He wrote down something on his notepad, possibly the location the other person on the line tells him. "Okay. Wait there. The car will arrive in fifteen minutes."
"Appa?" In-su whirled around to face his daughter. He smiled lovingly at her and motioned for to sit on the couch.
"What brings you here Dara?" He sat down beside her.
"I don't know what's happening anymore... I am confused. Why did that man try to kidnap me? I don't remember anything before the accident... Did I do something that earned me a hater?"
"Who would hate my sweet Dara?" In-su asked. "Of course it's not the case. Maybe he just mistook you for someone else."
Dara nodded but continued asking. "Then who is that guy who saved me, Appa?"
"I don't know," In-su lied. "Maybe he saw what the man was trying to do so he helped you. I really don't have any idea, Santokki. Put your mind at rest okay?"
Dara nodded again and smiled he sweetest smile at her father.
"Oh, and someone will be living with us for awhile, dear. He's your fiancé."
"I have a fiancé?" Dara furrowed her brows at the thought. I don't remember having a fiance... Oh, well... I don't remember many things too...
"Yes, daughter. He'll be here anytime soon so go to your room and make yourself look presentable, okay?"
Dara was ushered out of her father's study. He sister Durami was waiting for her outside. "Did he tell you anything?"
"Uhm.. You did not tell me I have a fiancé..." She looked at her as if she's accusing Durami of an unforgivable crime.
"Appa told you you have a fiancé?!" Durami glared at their father's study room door.
"Why Durami? You also did not know I have a fiancé?" She asked her sister.
"N-no-Unnie," she looked down unable to look straight to her unnie. Gosh... what are you doing Appa... these lies... It's burying us deeper and deeper. "I know but I don't think this is the right time to tell you about him." I wonder who Appa asked to help us with this... "What did he say about your fiancé?" Durami asked.
"Well, he said that he's arriving today and that I should make myself look presentable..."
"What?! He's coming today?!"
"Hey! You don't have to shout at me Durami! But yes, he's coming, so come now... help me choose what to wear."
"What brings you here Dara?" He sat down beside her.
"I don't know what's happening anymore... I am confused. Why did that man try to kidnap me? I don't remember anything before the accident... Did I do something that earned me a hater?"

However in the study room...
"I told you not to go near anywhere my daughter anymore." In-su yelled.
"Mr. Park, I just want to make sure she's okay that time. I was about to go but I saw that man pointing a gun at her. I could not just walk away while she's in danger."
In-su sighed, exasperatedly. "Okay. But that will be the last time young man. If you want to be with her, earn my trust. Go and get that criminal behind bars and I will let you be with my daughter. That is if she still remembers you or still wants you. She might have a change of heart once she meets her fiancé..."
"What fiancé?! Mr. Park... I promise that I will do my very best to make Dara safe but please don't do this to us..." But Mr. Park already ended the call.
"I would not let my daughter marry a person as low as you... You do not even have money to give what my daughter has been accustomed to have... My daughter is a princess, she is fit for a prince not a low profile man like you..."
"I told you not to go near anywhere my daughter anymore." In-su yelled.

Five tall drop-dead gorgeous men are waiting patiently in the airport. All of them are catching the attention of the crowd, gaining a lot of murmurs and flashes of their phone cameras.
"Isn't that DBSK?"
"Omo! Omo! It's Yoochun oppa!"
"Why are they here?? I thought they are in Japan right now?"
"Jaejoong Oppa looks cool! Omo! did you see it! He looked here! Omo! omo!"
The crowd was getting noisier and more excited because of the idols' presence. Good thing the car that was supposed to take them to the Parks arrived just in time. They hurriedly went inside and sighed in relief.
"Whew. That was close!" Changmin exclaimed as Yoochun closed the door of the car.
"Glad to hear that we are still not forgotten here. haha." Yoochun grinned. "Maybe we can ask the manager to arrange some performance for us while we are here."
"Guys, I really appreciate that you wanted to accompany me here but I can't leave Dara alone. i am sorry. As her fiancé, I should be there for her at all times." Dara's fiance said, clearly thanking his friends for their support.
"Is it because of the news about her?"
"Man. Your girl is really a handful. First, the accident, being in a coma, then now a kidnap attempt. Do you know what the reason for these events is?"
"No. But Uncle told me that he'll tell me everything once we arrive." Dara's fiancé answered.
"Isn't that DBSK?"

On the other side of the populated city of Seoul, one man lay motionless on the cold ground in a narrow alley. His body hunched and face bloody and contorted with pain.
Another man stood imperiously over the injured man with calm and stoic face.
“I thought I could trust you with this job,” he said, the guy on the ground whimpered. “You look so pathetic. I should have just let the other guy do the job. But you said that you want to prove yourself so I gave you the chance.” he paused and reached inside his coat. “You can’t even get a defenseless woman.”
“I could’ve had her but there was this cab driver who appeared and…”
“Stop,” the man said, his voice flat and dull. “I am not asking for your explanation.”
He pulled something out of his coat and the eyes of the injured man widened. “Please, don’t kill me. I would definitely get her.” His right hand clutching his stomach while his left tried to shield the impending doom upon his being. “Please…” He pleaded once again.
The guy just sneered down at him. “I don’t need weak people like you.”
A loud sound of a gun being shot echoed through downtown Seoul.
“Weak people deserve to die. And I will make sure that you will be next Jiyong.”
