11 11. I'LL SAVE HIM

Taner phone suddenly rang, she bought it out and looked at the caller ID, she quickly answered happily.

"Godfather Su!" she said excitedly.

"Hello my little glutton, where are you?"

"I'm actually on a double date with Mia". Taner replied, eating her food happily.

"….." He was shocked hearing her answer. He never expected this reply. He suddenly felt bad for soiling her date with the bad news he was going to give her.

"hello, dad Su are you still there". She asked after not hearing anything from his end.

"Yes, I was just shocked, so who is the unlucky guy". He was trying to lighten the air. He smiled a bit just imagining the poor guys reaction when she starts ordering.

'I hope he can at least pay for her meal', he thought.

"why did you say unlucky?" Taner said pouting.

"Because he would have to spend all his money feeding you". Su woo bin said laughing.

"Dad Su!!!, enough of this chit chat what's going on?"

'she's smart', Su woo bin thought to himself. "Why? Can't I call my beloved goddaughter if I miss her?".

"Stop trying to change the topic, I know you". Taner rolled her eyes.

"Okay I'll just say it, I don't mean to ruining your date but can you come to the hospital immediately".

"Dad Su, what's going on you are scaring me". She asked afraid, already having a bad feeling about what he was about to say.

"Your dad is in the hospital….I'll explain to you when you come". He ended the call before she could ask anymore questions.

She still held the phone in her ear even after the call ended, the only sentence she could hear was "your dad is in the hospital", it kept replaying over and over again in her head. She was still in a daze forgetting everything around her.

"Hey, Tan are you okay?" Mia asked concerned touching her friend. Only when she heard Mia did she come back to reality. She stood up abruptly holding the tears back and smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry I have to go it's very urgent, don't mind me, carry on with your date". She didn't wait for them to question her but left in a hurry almost running. They were all surprised by her action.

"Taner!!" Mia called but she didn't bother turning back, she was already out of the hotel.

"What's wrong with your friend?" Hangul asked concerned .

"I'm not sure but I'm sure she's going to be fine", Mia said trying to control her emotion. She knew something serious must have come up for her to leave like that. She just prayed it was not something major or life-threatening. She didn't want to bother him so she kept her thinking you herself and pretended everything was alright. They both kept talking forgetting about the ice statue sitting with them.

--------------------------

Taner rushed outside of the hotel, the only thing on her mind was to go to the hospital immediately. Su woobin has always been a carefree person and joyous but hearing the intensity and seriousness in his voice she knew the situation was very serious even though she wanted it to be a very terrible joke.

She tried so hard to stop a cab but no one was stopping, all the cab drivers seems to have a mind on their own and it was as if she was invisible to them. Suddenly, as if it wasn't enough that she couldn't stop a single cab, the rain started falling heavily. She still struggled under the rain trying to stop a cab but she failed.

Thinking about her dad, she couldn't help but be more anxious, she felt terrified and so frustrated. She even chased after a cab under the heavy rain but yet it didn't even stop but rather sped away. She continued to chase cabs until she fell and twisted her ankle. She sat on the corner of the road under the heavy rain crying, 'dad, wait for me I'll save you', she kept repeating this in her head crying. She folded her knees and placed her head on her knees crying under the rain.

Thirty minutes earlier

"I have to go, something urgent came up". Jiseok got up and left without waiting for a reaction. He was already tired of receiving endless dog food from the both of them and regretted ever agreeing to come to this stupid date.

THE GIRL HAD THE GUTS TO LEAVE HIM HANGING!!!! VERY GOOD!!!

"it's as if they both planned this, anyway let's go to the cinema I want to watch a movie", Mia pleaded pouting.

"OK let's finish our food first before we go". Hangul served a spoonful of chicken salad from his plate to feed Mia. Mia opened her mouth shyly.

Jiseok just came out and it was raining heavily. The hotel staff quickly drove his car to him. He entered his car covered by an umbrella from the staff and was about to zoom off when he saw his 'date' who left hurriedly. He sat down and watched her efforts to get a cab but to know avail.

'she's a strange girl, most girls won't ruining their makeup but she's running under the rain, at this rate she's going to be sick', he thought to himself watching her every move with curiosity.

'What's wrong with me? Why do I even care if she falls sick or not? Besides it's her choice to run under the rain instead of fond shelter to wait till it stops'. He thought. He really wanted to leave but something was stopping him. He felt heartache just watching her.

He kept watching until suddenly she fell on the floor. Watching her fall and cry for some unknown reason made him feel restless.

He didn't even realize when he immediately started the car and drove to her. Taner didn't notice someone was driving towards her. She was too lost in her own sadness to notice anything.

She suddenly heard a car honk and looked up. In front of her was a blue Lamborghini countach, she looked at it confused until the window rolled down and a pair of deep ocean blue eyes were staring at her. They continued staring at each other intently.
