Jay scurried towards Sangmin who was sitting with his sad face in front of a teacher and the kid that hit him sitting with his parent. The man crouched in front of the little kid with concern expression as his face had a little scratch. Jay looked at the kid and his mother with serious face. He arched his eyebrows as he was waiting for explanation.

"Mr Park, please forgive us for this incident. Sangmin was bullied by his friends today."
As soon the mother of the kid heard that, she knocked on the table with disbelief. "MY SON WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING! HE IS A CHILD! DO NOT FRAME MY SON!" She exclaimed as her face got redden.
Jay clasped his hands and gazed at the mother. "So is my son. He is a child. He would never do such a thing as well." He remarked with poker face. He reached Sangmin's face which had a little scratch and showed it to the mother. "And look at this."

"Hey kid, did you do this to my Sangmin?" He asked with a expression that scared the kid. The kid nodded and cried as he was apologising. Jay advised the kid not to repeat this action again then went to his car while holding his child's little hand.

Jay put on cream to relief the pain on Sangmin's scratch then pasted a plaster on Sangmin's face gently. The son looked at his father. "Dad, before you came, there's an uncle scolded Heojun for hitting me." Sangmin said while fidgeting his fingers. Jay looked at him with curiosity. "Really? Do you remember his face?" He asked then received a nod from Sangmin. As the father listened to his son, he kept on thinking about the guy that Sangmin told him. Then both of them reached Sunhee's cafe.

They entered the cafe and Sunhee ran towards Sangmin with concern as she saw a plaster on her son's face. She caressed the little boy's cheek. "Sangmin-ah, what happened?" She furrowed her eyebrows.
Jay explained to her and Sunhee stood up to walk out from the cafe. Fortunately, Jay grabbed her wrist and stopped her. "You don't have to go to meet him. I warned him not to bother our Sangmin." Sunhee pouted her lips as she felt sad to see her son got hurt on his first day at the kindergarten. She hugged Sangmin tightly. The little boy hugged his mother back while giggling." Mummy don't be sad. I'm strong as captain meow." He tried to comfort his mother and managed to make Sunhee chuckled a bit.

On the other side,

There was Sunghoon who was practicing his line however he could not focus as his head was dizzy. He massaged his temple then got a flashback from five years ago.

5 years ago

Sunghoon kept vomiting and his head was dizzy. He also could not smell anything like perfume or food. This was the first time he had gotten sick like this. He felt nauseous constantly until he could not continue his work for a month. He went to a doctor for check up however the doctor said he was fine and could not find the reason about his condition.
All he did for one month was sleeping and ate fruits.

The man shook his head as he thought about the past. Then someone handed a glass of water and food towards him, It was Aera. "You haven't eaten right? That's why you're dizzy now." She stated however Sunghoon scoffed. "Are you my girlfriend or what? Why are giving me this?"
Aera rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Hello Mr Park Sunghoon. I'm Choi Aera. I'm your co-worker no more than that. I'm here because your manager asked me to as he got some emergency. Don't be so confident that everyone wants to be your girlfriend." She remarked then left Sunghoon who was dumbfounded. Sunghoon bit his lip as he felt anger rised up inside him. "That witch. I'm going to kill her."

Sunhee went into her room which was the same with Jay. They have never shared room since Sangmin was born. They slept in the different rooms back in the Japan. Now that, Sangmin reached 5 years old. They had to share a room to foster their relationship. The woman stood in front of the door awkwardly. "Hey, this is awkward honestly." Sunhee said shyly.  As Jay heard that he suggested himself to sleep in another room again not to make her uncomfortable. He stood up however Sunhee grabbed his wrist. She mumbled "sorry" as she was not ready. Jay nodded as he understood her condition.

"Goodnight Jay."

"Goodnight love."
