16 I am her boyfriend

When Seo Tae Il wakes up, it is already 10 AM. He remembers coming to the hotel with Lee Hyo Rin and Nam Ji Won. The doctor checks his foot and tells them that he should be fine after some rest. After taking the medicines, he falls asleep. After nearly sixteen hours of sleep, he is now awake.

"Where did everyone go?" He finds his cellphone on the table. He notices that Ji Won's things are gone. He punches her number on the phone, but it didn't connect. He calls Lee Hyo Rin's number.

"Seo Tae Il?" He hears a rough male voice.

"Yes, it's me."

"Wait, please." The phone is cut off.

"What the hell!" Tae Il stares at the phone. "Did they leave me to have fun alone?"

Just then, a bearded man in a suit walks into the room. He is wearing dark sunglasses. He looks like a hired thug in a suit.

"Who are you?" Tae Il is both surprised and uneasy to see a stranger in his room.

He bows to him slightly. "Miss Lee sent me to help you."

"Lee Hyo Rin?" Tae Il relaxes his shoulders.

"Yes." The thug in the suit confirms.

"Where is Ji...Min...?" He asks. Lee Hyo Rin doesn't know Jimin's real identity.

"You mean the other guy with you?" The thug in the suit asks. "You don't know?"

"What is that I don't know?" Tae Il is irritated somewhat. "Where is he?"

"He left yesterday evening after he received a call from his home," The thug in a suit tells him. "Miss Lee wanted to wake you up, but he told her not to."

"Oh!" Tae Il stares at his phone. "I guess, he was in hurry. Where is Nuna?"

"There was an unfortunate incident in her family..." The thug in suit hesitates. "She will call you herself. I am in no position to speak about it."

Tae Il purses his lips. Both Nam Ji Won and Lee Hyo Rin leave him like this. Why did he have a bad feeling about this? He needs to talk to Ji Won as soon as possible. He should go back home first.

"I want to go back home." Tae Il stands up. There is a slight pain in his foot, but it isn't bad. "Can you call a cab?"

The thug in suit grins. "Miss Lee asked me to drive you to your home. I cannot defy her orders. Kindly let me."

Tae Il nods. If someone wants to drive him home, he has no problem. "I will pack my bags."

"I have already packed and put them in the car," he says. "Please come with me."

After he reaches home, he takes a bath and changes into fresh clothes first. He calls Ji Won's number again, but it doesn't connect this time either. He has a bad feeling in his heart. He is too annoyed. Then, he remembers Park Na Young. He doesn't have her contact number either.

Suddenly, he gets a call from Son Jong Pil. He doesn't pick up. The phone kept ringing until he gives in and picks it up.

"Sunbae, is something wrong?"

"Leo, Ji Won had an accident." Son Jong Pil sounds breathless on the phone.

"What? Which hospital?"

"City Hospital. I am heading there." Jong Pil cuts the phone. Tae Il picks up his coat and runs out of his house. He runs on the street until he finds a cab. He rushes inside the hospital and finds Na Young first. She is crying non-stop. Son Jong Pil is patting her back softly. Next, to her, another man with familiar features was standing.

"She will be fine." Jong Pil is saying to that person. "She is a strong person."

"Na Young, do you know how this happened?" Nam Dong Min ignores Jong Pil. "Mother told me that she went on a trip with her friends. After she came back, she and father met with the accident."

Seo Tae Il's feet stop when he listens. Trip? Is he talking about the trip to T mountains?

"I don't know, Oppa." Na Young wipes her tears. "She didn't tell me that she was going on a trip. None of our friends from school went on any trip."

Nam Dong Min looks around with tears in his eyes. "Why did this accident happen? Why are my father and my sister hurt like this? I want to know what happened."

Seo Tae Il's feels are churning with uneasiness. Nam Dong Min finds staring at them.

"He is Ji Won's boyfriend," Son Jong Pil tells him slowly. "I called him."

"You are her...?" Nam Dong Min narrows his eyes.

"No, he is not..." Na Young opens her mouth.

"I am her boyfriend." Seo Tae Il speaks before she can finish her words. "We started going out recently."
