บท 357: Apology

The night was an unusual one, filled with worries, fear and sadness, and the morning seemed to be far worse. Everyone's anxiety had toppled a few scales as they awaited some good news, any news that would bring relief not just to them but to Dan-Han who was in his worst state and seemed not to have slept a wink last night. Fear and anguish could be clearly seen in his eyes as he watched her from the door, his hands buried deep in his pocket.

"Dan-Han." His aunt called, as she and Ni-Na approached him.

Dan-Han turned towards them, but his eyes fell on the man beside them. They silently held each other's gaze before Dan-Han turned to his aunt who was standing in front of him.

"Any news yet?" She anxiously asked while he shook his nod. She hissed. "It was hours already." There was supposed to be some result already.

She cupped his face. "You're tired."

"I'm fine."

"That's what you've been saying since last night. Ni-Na said you didn't eat."
