4 Chapter 3: She's Here.

(Amy's POV)

After I showered, I sat on a bench in the balcony of Hye Jin's apartment overlooking Han River. The view is mesmerizing as I sip at the cup of tea in my hands. I let out a deep sigh as I watched the lights from the windows of the skyscrapers one by one turned off and the streets buzzing with cars.

It was almost 11 in the evening. Hye Jin texted me that she won't be able to go home tonight.

It was a rough day indeed. My head constantly aches ever since I arrived in the apartment. One thing is certain, I am in a foreign land and I don't know my purpose of coming here. But at least now I somehow had a clue, right?

I looked at the piece of paper in my hands labeled 'Sun and Moon Café'.

The night is now deep and my mind is exhausted. I ushered myself to bed and closed my eyes to rest.

Alright Lie, tomorrow is another day to figure things out.

The taxi stopped in front of a certain café and I looked at the signage before stepping out.

Sun and Moon Café.

I inhaled some air as I gather my courage to walk inside, hoping for some answer to questions I don't even know.

Today, I wore a teal off-shoulder neoprene dress in white and paired it with flat sandals. I walked into the store and I saw a lady in uniform who was wearing an apron fastened around her waist greeted me with a nod.

"Uhm, excuse me," I said in English. The lady just looked at me with a little panic flashed in her eyes.

"No English… no English. You wait… one minute." She immediately waved her hand as she tried her best to speak in English. I nodded my head as I understand what she means. She then entered a room that had a Korean inscription and after a few minutes passed, she exited with a guy as they both approach me.

"Hello. Manager." She said as she approached me together with the guy. She nodded indicating that she will go back to her post.

"Hello, I'm the manager." He said in English. He was a bit taller than I am and he was wearing glasses. He had the same uniform as the lady, only not having an apron tied around his waist. He invited me to take a seat in a 2-chaired table by the window.

"Good day, manager. I don't know where to start on how I am going to explain this." I pulled the receipt out of my pocket and started to explain to him how I found it inside my luggage.

"You see, I was involved in an accident when I arrived at the airport causing me to forget my memories. I was hoping that I may somehow regain even just parts of it." I opened the piece of paper and handed it to him.

"This receipt, it's dated two years ago," he said as he looked at the date scribbled in the paper. "I'm sorry. I just started working here six months ago." He then looked at me apologetically. I smiled in return reassuring him that it's fine. I then got up and nodded as I bid him adieu.

What should I do now?

Feeling dejected, I dialed the number of my only friend here in Seoul as I walked to the nearby park as I couldn't hide the sadness deep inside.

(Troy's POV)

This annoying elder sister of mine annoyed me to death since I woke up this morning, pestering me to drop her off her apartment before I go to the office.

Jin-Jin slept at the family home last night, which rarely happens even in family dinners. Every time our parents asked her to stay at home, she always declines because she doesn't want to be vexed by me and brother Cheon's presence.

"What made you sleep at the family home last night?" I asked curiously as I drive her to her apartment.

"Well, I made a friend and she's currently staying in the apartment." She quickly explained as she took her phone to answer a phone call.

"Speaking of the devil…" She showed me the caller ID before she answered the phone call. I stepped on the brakes as the traffic light marked red. I opened my phone and saw Mason's text message.

[Sir, I have some details about her.]

[Where are you right now?] I replied to Mason.

[Sun and Moon café, sir.] he swiftly answered.

"Oh yeah, just drop me off near Sun and Moon Café. My friend said she's nearby." Told Jin-Jin as she ended her call. After taking the final turn, we arrived at the said café.

After I parked, we both went off the car. "I'll go ahead, bro!" Jin-Jin turned her back on me.

"Jin-Jin, why won't you and your friend have a coffee with us?" I asked out of the blue.

"Uhm, no thanks. I don't want her to meet my annoying little brother!" She made a crazy face in front of me with her tongue out. I chuckled at her childish antics as I looked at her walk away.

As I entered the café, I saw Mason who was busy munching his French toast and sipping his coffee from time to time.

I walked towards the table he was eating and was caught a little off-guard as he saw me.

"Sir!" He sipped his coffee as he straightened up. He then handed me the document containing his reports.

"Sir, according to my investigation, she left Berkeley and booked a ticket going here almost a month now. Also, during the day of her arrival here at Seoul, there was a multiple car accident that happened near the airport."

So, she's here. I'm now certain about that.

"However, sir I couldn't confirm yet if she was one of those involved in the car crash. The information about the victims was highly confidential because a VIP was also involved in the said accident." Mason continued.

"Mason, I want you to dig deeper about this accident. Find the hospitals where the victims were transported." I ordered.

After hearing Mason's report, I immediately called Alfred to inform him about the investigation.

She's here.

My love is somewhere near me.

A sigh of relief got out of my chest. Hopefully, I could find you sooner.

A smile of excitement longing painted on my lips looking forward to seeing her again.
