Rubbing your hands together to remove the dust, you surveyed the whole unit. It was done, finally. Jaehyun couldn't come to help you out today because he was busy after his transfer here in Korea. You accepted jobs already and you will start tomorrow while your mother was staying in one of your few rest houses left here in this country. 

You wouldn't say that you were officially broke because you still have quite a lot of properties scattered everywhere from different countries but those assets does not generate income anymore which means you have to work to provide for yourself. 

Of course you know that in the end, you have to give up on those properties but as much as possible, you don't want to touch it while you can still provide for yourself. You planned on building a business but you had no idea on how to do that yet since you weren't able to study while you were in China. 

Seeing a phone call from none other than, Jung Jaehyun, you answered it right away. "Hey, how is it there?" you asked, sighing comfortably on the sofa.

"Pretty hectic, have you eaten?" he softly asked. Hearing a muffled voice from the background, you can guess that he's in the middle of a meeting. 

"Are you on a meeting? Focus, young man" you scolded.

"It's nothing important, it's just an update on what's happening in the past months" he explained, hearing him dismissing the person talking, he spoke again.

"Have you eaten?"  he asked.

"I already did, how about you?" you mumbled, smiling like an idiot.

"Not yet, but since my baby already ate, I might as well just eat the food I prepared for you" he said in a low voice.

Cheeks turning red when he called you the nickname, you cleared your throat. "Don't eat without me, I'm a little hungry" after hearing his chuckle, you ended the phone call.

Holding your chest for a few seconds, lost in your train of thoughts, you snapped yourself back to the reality, "What the hell is wrong with me?" you asked yourself, shaking your head repeatedly right after.

You already ate okay, you even ate too much more than your usual diet because you got tired lifting things up around your unit but something about his disappointed voice urged you to join him. Maybe you just pity him. Right, maybe that's what it is.

Right?

-

Arriving at his company, you remembered your father's company that was now owned by someone else. Someone bought a large amount of shares on your company and you later on sold your own shares because you don't know what to do with it anyways. You paid all the debts and the failed projects that your father left making you sell almost half of your riches, you don't have any news regarding that anymore.

Thinking back, you thought that maybe you could've kept your shares on that company, because still, that was where your father spent almost all his life. But your mother was too broken to even look at the outside of the building and you don't have any idea on that exact moment too.

"Here for Jung Jaehyun." you smiled at the receptionist as soon as you got inside.

Giving you a look from your head down to your clothes, you almost got offended by the way her eyes was judging you. "Any appointments ma'am?" she asked while giving you a fake smile.

You smiled again, "Tell your boss that her girlfriend is here" you said, looking pissed.

Okay, Jaehyun is not even your boyfriend yet but the receptionist was annoying you, panicking, the girl dialed a number stuttering while saying that her boss' girlfriend was here. Hearing something from the phone, she smiled mockingly at her.

"Our boss was expecting someone, and as long as I remember, he's single. Get your hallucinating ass out of here" she gave you the same annoying smirk from earlier. 

Dialling Jaehyun's number, he answered right away. "Where are you? The food is ready" 

"Hey, babe. Your receptionist said that you were expecting someone. She wouldn't let me in" you rolled your eyes, emphasizing the 'babe' part while looking at the girl who was now looking at her with wide and scared eyes.

Hearing silence from the other line, you spoke again. "Jae." 

You heard him clear his throat before speaking, "Okay babe, i'll fetch you downstairs" you can already hear his chuckle from the other line. 

It made you realize what the hell you just did.
