Sprinting back up the stairs she flung the door open to Jisungs room to find her mother with the boy. Upon seeing her daughter Jia stood up with a worried expression but she was taken by surprise when Ga-eun jumped into her arms giving a tight hug out of pure delight. "Ga-eun-"

"Mum, he said that he will take me and Jisung out tomorrow" she held onto her hands swinging them side to side. Spotting how her eyes sparked, Jia couldn't help but feel content for her daughter. Smiling softly she caressed her hair lovingly before looking over to a frozen Jisung. "H-he said that I can come as well?" he stuttered out astonished.

Chuckling Ga-eun climbed onto the mattress before latching onto the younger boy's arm and resting her cheek on his shoulder. "He even said that you can call him dad." At her words, Jisung sealed his lips before letting out a scoff. He acted like it wasn't a big deal however, a small lift of his lips said otherwise.

Stepping out the house, Hei-ran waved a small bye to Yohan however the male was just glaring at her in a hostile manner. Well aware as to why he was, she gave an awkward laugh until she felt a flick on her forehead. 

"What was that for?!" she growled out.

"How long were you going to keep it a secret from me?" he interrogated. He was serious and she knew just by the hard core gaze he sent her. Rubbing her forehead she let out a dejected sigh. "I was actually going to tell you right away but I stopped because you still haven't gotten a divorce with Eunha" instantly Yohan's features fell apart. How could he have forgotten such a major piece of information?

Busy with his work he totally forgot about how she had to still sign the papers. "Before, I made a mistake letting go of Jia but this time I won't do the same." smiling to himself he looked up to Hei-ran. "I have two children now and I want to be a good father to them"

Hearing his heartfelt words Hei-ran was thrilled that she now has a better chance to see her two friends be happy after such a long time. "Anyway, I actually came here to give Jeno this" furrowing her brows she examined an envelope in his hold.

"How did it go?" Jeno asked as he entered Ga-eun's room to find the girl looking through some clothes. Snapping her head to the side at the sudden voice she felt her heartbeat stop. So immersed in what she was doing she had not taken in the external sounds of her door knob twisting open and the faint footsteps making her way. 

After seeing that it was just Jeno she let out a reliving sigh. "It went well" she breathed out.

"I told you it would," Jeno stated approaching her. "What are you even doing?" the boy questioned scanning the bundle of clothes spread around on her bed. "I'm just choosing what to wear tomorrow. I'm going to spend some time with him" just by the sound of her voice, he could hear how excited the girl was.

It made him feel heart-warmed seeing her so delighted. Before, whenever she spoke about Mr Yang she would always have had a sorrowful expression. But this time it was the opposite.

"What should I wear?" she clicked her tongue. "Anything. He really wouldn't care" cocking a brow she tilted her head over to Jeno to find the boy already staring at her with an unusual expression. It was as if he was entranced by her, he couldn't avert his sight and just deeply gaze into her eyes. Pressing her lips Ga-eun sucked in some air. "Jeno, thank you"

"For what?"

"Just everything. For comforting me and hearing me out" wandering his sight between her dusky brown orbs he let out a low chuckle shaking his head. Slowly raising his hand up he ruffled her fringe. 

"Anything for you love" he sent a warm smile which immediately raised an exhilaration to form in her stomach. "But remember if you ever feel down or need a shoulder . ." he stepped closer, grabbing one of her hands into his larger palm -

"I'm here for you . .  and I will always be" 

They are like the cutest couple!!
