SN's POV

My mind could do nothing but dwell on that phone call from Mr. Yoo. Why would Janghoon leave me anything when the last time we spoke I clearly wanted nothing to do with him? While I feel a pang of sadness for his death, I cannot overlook what he did. He raped me, there's no getting past that. Why make me a beneficiary in his will? I don't get it and it's starting to frustrate me. It affected my performance at work because my concentration was off, and now it's affecting my time with Tzuyu and Brielle. My thoughts are so troubled that I can't stay out of them long enough to enjoy Tzuyu's playful banter, or how adorable my daughter looks eating her spaghetti with her fingers. Tzuyu noticed, because he's always watching me, and a few times I could see him wanting to ask what was wrong. No doubt worried about my behavior, but I would change the focus to something else. I should tell him, I want to, but as the night drags on and we've eaten dinner and put the baby to bed I worry more about how he'll react. The times we've spoken about Janghoon it put him in a bad mood. I like my Tzuyu happy so I steer clear of that topic.

"You can't avoid it forever you know." Tzuyu kissed my forehead as he returned to his seat beside me on the couch. We were supposed to be watching a movie, but it was more like the movie was watching us.

"What?" I look up into his beautiful eyes. I could be making out with my hot boyfriend right now but no, I've got this pit in my stomach that I can't shake. I don't like to be sidetracked like this, especially by a ghost from my past.

"Whatever is bothering you."

Tell him...

"I'm ok."

He gave me that "I know you're lying" look but didn't push the subject. He just pulled me into his arms and hugged me close.

"You know that I love you." He kissed right below my ear making me shiver.

"You know I love you more." Because I do, so very much. I'm being a spoiled bitch right now keeping something as miniscule as this away from him. It's not a big deal...But then it is. It was important enough to Janghoon which is why I'm so unsettled.

"C'mon, let's go to bed." Tzuyu stands pulling me up with him. My arms around his neck, not wanting to let him go he picks me up like I weigh nothing and I wrap my legs around him.

"You're sleeping with me tonight." He declares, and I don't complain.

I let him carry me to bed.

The next morning I wake up around eight-thirty. The house is silent and Tzuyu has me trapped beneath his body. We didn't quite have that mind-blowing sex I've been too nervous about, but boy did my body tingle with need. There was a lot of kissing and not-so-innocent petting, and I do believe that we are on the same page at least about crossing that line. It will happen soon I'm sure when it's organic not forced or rushed when the time is right. I leave him in bed wishing I could stay right beside him all day. Unfortunately, I have things to do. I shower and get dressed quietly. Before leaving I write a quick note that I would be back soon and stuck it to the fridge.

I'm ready to get this over with.

George Yoo's office isn't too hard to find. Traffic wasn't too bad going into the city and I had some time to stop at Starbucks for my coffee fix. I finished off my frappuccino right before entering the small law firm. It was very nice inside, cozy, and not as intimidating as I thought it would be. I'm not sure that I'd ever been in a law firm before...

"Ms.Minatozaki?" A young woman greeted me before I could let her know who I was.

"Yes."

"I'm Dahyun! Mr. Yoo is expecting you. Please follow me." Talk about prompt service. She was cute. Young, petit, and blonde. Wonder if there's any hanky-panky going on between receptionist and boss?
