The day has come, the day both Minho and Taerin feared the most for the whole year. Sending Minji abroad for a 3 years program that was registered a year ago. "Baby will you be okay?" Minho crouched down, asking the little girl in front of him. "I will be okay! Don't worry please." She said cheekily.

"Mommy and daddy will visit you okay? We love you. Please ask your teacher to give us a call. A lot. Frequently." Taerin continued, going next to Minho. "Yes yes! Don't worry. I'll study hard.. and play a lot."

That earn a playful smack on her little hands by Taerin. "We send you to gain experience and knowledge Minji-ya not to play." The little girl laughs.

They gave Minji last little wave as they watch the little girl and few of her friends with their teachers figured small out.

Minho intertwine his fingers into hers, walking together. "I will miss my baby."

"Me too. But hey you have a big baby here." Minho replied, poking his left cheek. "Shut up Minho you're a grown ass man."

"I am a cute man, Minho is cute." He commented.

Taerin's step immediately stop when she saw the man right in front of her. "Am I late?" He asked. Taerin quickly hid herself behind Minho, looking down at her own feet. "Late?"

"Minji is going abroad today right? How can you let a 5 year old girl to go on her own." The man said again, almost sounding like he is mad.

"It is under a program. She's not alone."

"But still that was stupid. Taerin come out why are you hiding let me talk to you for awhile."

"Dad can you please stop bothering me? I have made it clear I don't want to see you why are you still involving yourself in my family's matters?" Taerin speak up, looking annoyed at the old man. She never felt so pissed looking at him.

"Your family matters? I am your dad."

"You tried to kill me years ago what do you mean by that?" She arched a brow.

Taerin quickly leaves him alone, dragging Minho with her.

"Minji said she is okay." Minho said out of nowhere shoving his phone to Taerin's face. That earn him a cute chuckle from her. "See you finally smiled. What's wrong? Something has been bothering you? Is it about your dad?"

There was a short silence before Taerin answered him. "How do I get rid of him?"

"Taerin that scares me." She burst out laughing. "No I am sorry I mean," Minho nods, smiling. "I understand you don't have to explain but you saying that shocked me instantly Taerin I swear."

Taerin apologizes again before resting her head on his shoulder. "I hope you still like me."

"Pft. Hey Kim Taerin we are married. We are literally married." He emphasises the word married

"You know just to make sure."

"Well I am the one who should make sure of it. That you still love me or not?" He arched a brow, turning his gaze to the woman next to him.

"I do. Will always do."

"Really? When you got pretty guys hanging around you?" Minho teases her, looking at Taerin who's already flushing from his words. "Pretty guys what? You're the only pretty guy here."

She could sense jealousy coming from him out of sudden. Minho is not the type to show his jealousy up front but this time it feels weird, almost like he really meant it. Wasn't a joke. Taerin scoot closer to him, staring at his pretty long lashes, eyes trailing down to his face. "I mean you're right. I do got some pretty boys hanging around me. You should do something to make me always remember you how about that?" Teasing, wasn't always her thing but it's fun to see Minho react to her words. Almost challenging him.

"What do you want me to do? Against the kitchen counter? Now?" Minho quickly wrap his arm around her tiny waist, getting ready for

something.

"No! You, pervert!" Minho smiled, letting out a small chuckle well it's his turn to tease now? 

"Kidding sweetheart, yeah? I can't tease you now?"

Shaking her head, she pinches Minho's pointy nose. "Baby, don't you think you should sort things out with your father?" there was hesitation when Minho blurt out the sentence. But the look in his eyes was sincere, he wanted to ease her mind because her father could be her only problem of course other than the psychotic people that were after her. "I don't think so Minho. He no longer needs me, so do I. I have you and Minji and that will be enough. I can't face him." He completely understand what Taerin meant but the more she tried to avoid Mr. Kim, it will be much more miserable than the current thing is.

"There is nothing to sort out I am happy with my life. I just hope we could stay forever." Minho nodded, "Of course we will stay forever baby I will take care of you."

"This is all I could see," Wooyoung the private detective that knew Minho since college handed him a few printed A5 sized pictures. "From what I have observed the things that caused Taerin to be trauma was planned. Indeed, was perfectly planned. She is not sick as what you thought." The man explained, sighing.

"Oh god your wife must be hella disappointed in you, my man. All these while she tried to convince you that she's not sick yet you forced her to go and see a therapist.." the words trailed down his thought. Minho clench his jaw, "...but why would Han Jisung?"

"I have no idea, you gotta ask him yourself... Or do you want me to do it?" No other than violence of course, Minho quickly shake his head. Is it possible Jisung did this to get his revenge on him because of Nara? It's hard for Minho to forget her, for sure but for Nara? 

She calls out his name every time back then whenever he's having trouble with Jisung.

Thats what makes him hated Minho.

"That's petty." Minho scoffed, he agreed. "I mean, that could be one of the reason but what if, he was asked to do this?"
