Daniel's p.o.v

I sighed before checking my phone again. I've been troubled since last night. I was in a bad mood ever since I came to that party. Seeing Saeron with Jihoon just spoiled my mood. Seeing them dance is worse. I envy that guy, he can be with Saeron, he can talk to her and even with her father. And those things are the one I couldn't do.

I feel bad after pushing her away like that, I didn't think before speaking so I know I made her feel upset. After she walked away from me I realised what I said was wrong so I tried to follow her. But instead of finding her, I bumped into her father who was already furious the moment he saw me. And that's when he confronted me about Saeron and I.

I was about to deny, I was about to keep it a secret just like what Saeron wants. But facing her father was more difficult than I expected. I didn't want to lie, I wanted to tell the truth. So I did. I know it was a sudden decision and I know Saeron wouldn't like it but I still did. I wanted to be honest to her father. I had the sudden urge to tell everything. To say how much I love her daughter.

But seeing how much he was mad last night made me worry about Saeron. About us. She looked at me with disappointment and agony, it just broke my heart more. I wanted to check up on her so I kept calling and texting but she didn't respond. It was even worse when she declined a call. At first I thought she couldn't pick up her phone but then I realised she was ignoring me on purpose.

I was more bothered after that. I couldn't think properly and I couldn't find any sleep. I rolled off my bed and tried calling again, she still isn't picking up. Is she in class or she just doesn't want to talk to me? I ran my hand through my hair and let out a sigh. I was growing more and more frustrated.

I was wide awake since this early morning. I couldn't get a proper sleep so I just stayed awake. I took a shower earlier but wasn't in the mood to get out of my room. I guess I'll just have to see Saeron for today. She have a class but I'll wait for her.

I took my wallet and keys before going down, phone in my hands while typing a text for her. My father was sitting on the sofa as I got down. "You're going out?" He asked as he stared at me. I glanced at him for a moment. "Yes, dad." I said, he gave me a nod.

"How's it going with Saeron?" He asked, my heart thumping at her name. "I don't know, she still isn't picking up." I couldn't hide the worry in my voice. My dad just hummed. "I told you this will happen, son." I looked at him before sighing.

"I know, dad. I told you I know what I'm doing, I'll fix this." He warned me about the consequences if I continue seeing Saeron. I listened to him but still I didn't care what will happen. I just wanted to be with her. No one can make me change my mind. It's what I feel, what I want and I believe no one has to tell me what to do about it. I'm just so glad my father wasn't against it and even supported me.

I hope Saeron's father can do the same.

I went to my car and drove off to Saeron's school. I glanced at my watch, it's their lunch time and I still have time. I parked my car outside and waited but I never got to see her. I caught a glimpse of her friends outside so I stepped out of my car. I ran towards them. "Hyeri, Gahyeon." I called out.

They looked at me by surprise. "Daniel, what brings you here?" Hyeri was the one who asked. "I wanted to ask if you saw Saeron. I have to talk to her." They both stared at me confusedly. "Saeron didn't go to class today, Daniel. It was actually rare for her to skip school. I thought you'd know, why?" She answered back followed by another question.
