Chapter 12 - Looking for

The Silla Seoul Hotel

Dae Hyun held the monthly meetings with stockholders to discuss this month's earnings. 

When Dae Hyun was presenting the income data, his phone suddenly rang. 

He caught a glimpse. It was from Aunt Xia.

Dae Hyun asked permission to pick up the phone for a moment. He rushed out of the meeting room.

"What's wrong, Aunty?" Dae Hyun asked, answering the call.

"Mr...Miss …Mr...." Aunt Xia stammered, her voice was trembling. She didn't even dare to tell the truth.

"What happened to Soo Yin?" Dae Hyun urged impatiently.

"Miss Soo Yin isn't in the room," Aunt Xia replied frantically.

"What? Maybe she's in the bathroom," Said Dae Hyun.

"We've searched every corner of the villa but still can't find her," Said Aunt Xia.

"Have you all searched all over the place?" Dae Hyun asked.

"Yes, Sir. We only found a torn piece of her dress near the back wall fence," Aunt Xia replied.

"Okay, I'll be right there. Tell Chung Ho and the other members to look for her!" Said Dae Hyun.

He immediately asked for permission to leave the meeting as soon as he hung up the phone. 

He delegated everything to Manager Han. 

Everyone wondered what kind of urgent condition that made Dae Hyun had to leave the meeting. 

He had never acted like this so far.

Dae Hyun immediately ran through the hotel rooms to find an elevator. He was anxious and worried about Soo Yin's condition. 

He was afraid if Soo Yin got lost in the mountain because she knew nothing about its condition yet.

Dae Hyun walked down the streets really fast. He didn't care if he had to run over a red light. 

Luckily, it was a late night. It wasn't too crowded, and there were no police on guard.

While driving, Dae Hyun repeatedly called Soo Yin's phone number, but it was inactive. 

He was quite sure that Soo Yin had lost her way.

Dae Hyun did not return to the villa first. He prefered to turn towards the mountains. 

He was still trying to call Soo Yin's phone, ignoring the fact that there was no signal there.

Soo Yin still couldn't be traced.

Dae Hyun parked his car on the side of the road to walk down the uphill road. 

The narrow gravel road made it impossible for him to use the car.

Dae Hyun called Chung Ho to find out where they were at the moment.

"Have you found her?" Dae Hyun exclaimed in a high tone.

"Sorry, sir, we are still splitting up, looking for her," Said Chung Ho.

"If you can't find Soo Yin, be prepared to get fired!" Dae Hyun immediately turned off the telephone line.

He was mad at his guards. 

Was it hard to look after a single woman?

Dae Hyun walked down a steep and sloping road. 

Suddenly, his phone flashed indicating Soo Yin's cellphone number was tracked but then disappeared again.

It slowly started snowing. This situation made the weather even colder.

"Soo Yin!" Dae Hyun shouted as he continued to step his feet with the flashlight for lighting.

"Can you hear me?" Dae Hyun yelled.

Dae Hyun had walked quite far but still couldn't find the girl. He rubbed his face in a huff. 

Dae Hyun suddenly heard someone crying. He walked through the road following the source of the sound. It was getting clearer.

Someone was curling up when he was pointing the flashlight to the side of the road. 

He saw someone with her face down, embracing her legs.

"Soo Yin!" Dae Hyun called. He recognised the clothes the girl was wearing.

Soo Yin looked up while covering her eyes from feeling dazzled.

"Dae Hyun," Said Soo Yin softly.

"What happened to you?" Dae Hyun asked. 

At this time, he sat in front of the girl while observing her.

Soo Yin's head was injured. The blood droplets on her forehead were about to dry up.

"Dae Hyun, I'm afraid." Soo Yin, who was known to be indifferent and grumpy, now sobbed, holding back her tears.

"Calm down. I'm here." Dae Hyun hugged Soo Yin into his arms. 

Soo Yin's body felt very cold at the moment. Dae Hyun immediately took off his coat and then put it on Soo Yin's body.

"I can't walk. My legs hurt," Said Soo Yin with a frown. Dae Hyun then gave Soo Yin's legs a light massage. 

A sharp rock also scratched the girl's leg.

"Let's go home, get on my back!" Dae Hyun squatted, showing his back to Soo Yin.
