His son now was too stunned to walk."Son..." Taehyun called him. Jaydie then slowly looked at him. "I can't understand this love thing, Appa," he said while still looking at him.

"Soon... Soon, you'll understand. Now, come on!" he called him to continue to follow him.

In CEO Taehyun's office

Jaydie felt very excited as soon as he entered his dad's office which was surrounded by translucent windows. The scenery around Seoul City was enjoyed by him. While his dad already starts working.

"If you feel bored, you can ask my secretary for a tour around the company," Taehyun said without looking at him.

2 hours later

"Daddy, when will you finish your task?" Jaydie asked as he already finishes touring his company about 2 times with his secretary.

"Daddy..." Jaydie stop from walking as he was too stunned just by looking at his dad crying again...

"Chaeryeong... I miss you..." Taehyun said while his tears streaming down again. Jaydie was enough with this. He doesn't want to his dad cry again and again but he knows that he can't do anything. Daddy's tears only can be stopped by mommy.

Only her existence can make him stop crying and smile without any lies. Because all of the most things that he needs are only Cha Chaeryeong. Jaydie then run away from his office before he could notice him.

At the rooftop

"Eomma!!! Eomma! Eomma. Eomma... Appa is missing you now... What can I do now...? What can I do to stop him from crying all over again...? Please... Please tell me, what can I do for him, Eomma!!!? I'm so lost... Please..." said Jaydie as he fall to his knees.

Hurt to see someone he loves hurting by someone he also loves. Yes, it just feels too hurt to see his dad hurt because of his mom.

7 months later

"What's up, dad?"

"Fine, but I'm still tired. What about school? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, it's fine. I have so much homework but already finish it at school right after school ends with Yeonji at the park nearby,"

"Oohhh... That beautiful and cute little kid?"

"Yeah... That's right!"

"Well... I'm hungry and sleepy. Go brush your teeth and sleep early. You must follow me tomorrow,"

"Aahhh, Appa! Tomorrow is the weekend. I want to rest and enjoy it by myself,"

"No, because tomorrow the Kang's Company will hold a large-scale year-end party. All business friends who have worked together around the world have been invited and you must follow me as the heir of the Kang's Company,"

"Ugh... Okay..."

"Jay-ah, did you want to know something?"

"What's that?"

"Your Korean is making better. I'm proud of you, son,"

"Thanks, Appa!"

The next day

"Let's welcome our CEO of Kang's Company with his son, the heir of Kang's Company!" said the host with so much applause from so many business partnerships.

Jaydie just looked at his dad who now standing on the stage having his speech. After giving a long speech, he returned to his seat at the front. "素敵なスピーチ、パパ。(Nice speech, Appa)," he said while smiling at him. But, Taehyun notices the look in his eyes.

Then, he looks at the next sit beside Jaydie. He is Mr Minatozaki the CEO of M's Company in Japan. Now, he understands why did his son suddenly speak in Japanese. Taehyun once teach him the Japanese language because he has a big interest in Japan.

Jaydie always learns everything about something that he is really interested in. Jaydie loves Japan. One more, Mr Minatozaki is a little bit arrogant especially when it comes to being the heir of someone's company.

For him, the future CEO must have a big knowledge of every language in the world. So, it will be easy for them to communicate with so many people from so many countries and easy for them to make a business partnership with any company.

"カンさん、何かお聞きしてもよろしいですか?(Mr Kang, can I ask you about something?)"

"何ですか、湊崎さん。(What is it, Mr Minatozaki),"

"奥さんはどこ?(Where is your wife?)"

"彼女は...彼女はここにいません。(She... She's not here),"

"彼女は誰ですか?(Who is her?)"

"カン・チェリョンさん。(Mrs Kang Chaeryeong),"

Jaydie just silently watched his dad talking with Mr Minatozaki and he heard everything. He can clearly see the sadness in his dad's eyes. Jaydie feels sad again. Whenever he tried to talk about his mom, Taehyun eyes will always flash with sadness.

Flashback

"Can you please stop being like this!? This is not you! Do you think Eomma will happy to see you being like this!? Always crying at the midnight and working so hard in the morning! Don't you feel tired, Appa!? If I were you, I'll feel so tired and pitiful for my body!

Because my body is getting hurt mentally and physically! Appa, do you think Eomma want you to be like this!? She didn't send me here for you to always remember her... But! She wants you to feel the happiness that she feels with me as her replacement!

Why can't you be just like her!?"

"Is everything you said true? Did she really not become like me? Don't cry at midnight? Not working hard in the morning? Not trying to kill herself and... Never giving up? Kang Taeyeong!"

"Now, I can admit it. That the two of you did really love each other and know each other well. Huhh... I'm sorry, Appa,"

Jaydie gave up and enter his room. That night, Jaydie realised... His parent's love towards each other is very big that he knows... If one of them is given the choice to choose between their partner or their child...

They will choose each other no matter what because... Their love for each other is so strong and eternal.
