The way her first message that pops up on that screen hits me like a sucker punch to the stomach.

In Se.

Hi, baby. I miss you.

I miss you too.

Are you okay?

I don't know the best way to answer that.

Then show me that pretty face.

I don't want to In Se.

Why baby?

😢

Tears or not you're still the prettiest girl.

When the photo pops up, I feel like throwing up. Not only because even with her eyes closed anyone can see the sadness weighing her down, but also because I miss her so much.

"Where do you think she is?" Minsul asks, pointing out everything in the picture.

Dav En jumps on board with him. "If we can figure it out then we can bring her home."

In Se doesn't miss a beat in their conversation.

Can I see those pretty eyes?

Her little typing dots pop up then disappear like she's rewriting her answer.

"Kyung, where's that village she said she loved so much?" Dav En asks, but his friend just shakes his head in response.

In Se pushes.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours 😉

Lol. How do you always do that?

Do what baby?

Put a smile on my face.

The next picture she sends is even more heartbreaking, because the once happy, beautiful girl we all love is still there. In Se snaps a quick selfie and sends it to her. Her little typing dots do the thing again where they're there and then not again.

It hurts In Se.

What does?

Seeing your face. I miss you.

You have no idea how much you're missed here. Please come home to us.

I can't.

Can you tell me why?
