Next Day
Bit Na arrived at the kindergarten and does her work for the day cleaning up all the mess made by the students and making them wash their hands and helping the teacher while she teaches them. Now it was time for the students to go home Bit Na sends off all the children to their parents who come to pick them up.
While she is cleaning up she sees that there is still a student left who was playing with blocks she asks the teacher, "Why is that boy still here? "
"His father called me up and told me he will be a little late. "she says and returns back to her phone
"How could a parent leave their child like that 'aigooo' what's wrong with today's parents", she then walks towards the boy and sits down beside him, and asks,
" What's your name kid?" The boy then turns around and continues playing with blocks.
" Don't worry I don't bite", Bit Na says in a soothing voice which the boy liked.
His lips turn up on one side and he continues playing, Bit Na is totally enchanted by his smile and it makes her remind of someone and then she pats him on the head and continues doing her work.
Then the door opens and the kid runs towards the door into the arms of his father and then Bit Na gets shocked to see the person who is holding the kid is none other than Tae Yang.
She stalks towards him and taps his shoulder Tae Yang turns around his eyes wide open with surprise and he sets down the kid on the ground holding his hand  as he is about to say something Bit Na says,"Is this your son?"
"Yes ",the kid looked between Tae Yang and Bit Na as if he was confused and then Tae Yang continues,"Baek Hyun this is Ms.Seo and Ms.Seo this is Baek Hyun my son"
"Do you know how much I hate you right now?"Bit Na said in a irritated tone
"Why?"Tae Yang was shocked
"How could you leave your son for so long you should come early and pick him up I felt so sad for him"
Tae Yang gives her a 90° bow and says ,"Ok Madam"
And Bit Na could not help but a snicker came out of her mouth and Tae Yang also gives her a smile and as he is starting to leave he whispers to Bit Na "Don't forget about our date Bit Na"
Bit Na gets flushed and says," It's not a date. Bye"
"Bye , Baek Hyun say bye to Ms.Seo"
"Bye noona" Baek Hyun says formally in a soft voice
Bit Na's smile reaches her eyes and she pats Baek Hyun's hair and says ,"Bye Baek Hyunnie I hope to see you seen . "

ON FRIDAY

Today was the day of Bit Na and Tae Yang's "date"/meeting. She had checked her account balance which was enough for a 1 person meal and thought she could go with eating a salad by telling him that she is on diet. She wears her casuals, a black tee with a checkered shirt and plain blue jeans then she ties her golden brown hair in a ponytail and takes a bus to The FINE, to see Tae Yang waiting for her at the reception.

On seeing him, she stands still for a moment to admire his style, he was wearing a black formal shirt with dark blue pants and his dark blue coat flung over his arm and then they greet each other,
 she asks him, " Mr. Yun did you come straight from your office? ",
" Yeah, just a tad busy at work, you must know as you are working part-time at The Power?", he asks with a curious face.
"Yes, I have seen The YUN group's schedule, it's packed with meetings. Sorry for taking your time."
"No problem, I like this 'date' .", he says teasing Bit Na.
Bit Na gives an angry expression, he laughs and then they both laugh knowing it is a joke.

Then they go to the restaurant where they sit down to have a meal, and the waiter comes and gives them the menu. 
She says, " You can order whatever you like," then looks at the waiter and says, "I will have a Quinoa salad."
 Tae Yang looks at the menu and then turned at the waiter, " I will have a Hamburger steak, a Grilled sizzler, and a Chateau Cheval Blanc 1947 ", ordering a lot of expensive meals and then asked her, "Why are you not taking anything except a salad?",
she tells, "I am on a diet!!!", feeling embarrassed.
and then when it comes to paying the bill, she notices that the waiter does not come to their table, and when she calls out to the waiters to bring the bill they ignore her.

 Then Tae Yang holds her hand and takes her outside, she stops him and says.
"WWAITTT!!!!! I haven't paid the bill yet!"
" I own the restaurant, that's why." he tells her with a reassuring voice, she gets shocked and stops following him and like seriously awestruck by finding out how rich he is.

Then he pulls her out of the way where a bike was passing by then she is pinned to the wall, he is in front of her and there is barely space between them, her breath falls on his chest, but he moves back feeling his heart thumping*lub..dub..dub *and starts walking. She is totally removed from reality and starts daydreaming about him standing there.
He keeps calling her and then moves back towards her, and shakes her out of her dream and asks her to follow him, she then asks,
"Where are we going?"
"Somewhere not so special" and gives her a smirk.
They walk a little and then they reach a small Chinese restaurant,
He stands in front of it and says, "My treat, now for the 2nd round to thank you for giving me that lesson about Baek Hyun(his kid). Let's enter, shall we?" and then opens the door for her. 

Bit Na finds it very funny and while entering she says," I will only order if you bring your kid next time."
 Tae Yang agrees and they order, while waiting for their food they start talking about each other's current situations, Tae Yang is very open about his life as he knows Bit Na would want to search him up and would find out everything so there was no use hiding things about his marital life he says,
" As you may know I have been married 3 times and divorced also", he says with a chuckle,
" my first and third marriages ended as they only married me for my wealth, and in my second marriage, I and my 2nd wife had Baek Hyun but she cheated on me with my brother and then she divorced me, that was about 5 years back and if you talk about nowadays then my kid is fighting with the other kids who tease him about his parents and his mom wants nothing to do with him and I am really stressed with the business," he looks at Bit Na, "Oh I have been boring you with my life story, I just wanted to clear any doubts of yours rather than have you read the rumors on the internet."
 

Bit Na looks at him with sorrowful eyes, "Oh no, it's not boring and I was curious and have read some rumors on the internet but believed none of them until you clarified it." 
They both go quiet, Tae Yang says, "We should order, you must be hungry."
"Oh yes, very much," Bit Na said bluntly due to her hunger, "ahhah, I mean yes but not so much, I am on diet." Tae Yang started giggling,
"I know, a small salad as that fills no one's appetite." and then they ordered the food.
"Ms.Seo what about your current situation, aah I only kept talking about myself."
Bit Na keeps quiet and says, I have no problems in life", and faked a smile and waits for the food.
They then talk some more and the food comes, they then eat, Bit Na offers to pay as it was his restaurant where they went, but he didn't let her pay.

Tae Yang offers to drop Bit Na home but she refuses as she does not want him to see her apartment and politely declined Tae Yang's offer but Tae Yang still insisted on at least dropping her at the nearest metro station.
She could not deny him and so, she got in Tae Yang's car, suddenly a strange feeling garners her senses, something that causes a queasiness between her legs but she thinks it was just because she is embarrassed to be in the same car as a stranger to whom she had confessed to.

He then started the car and then waited for her to put the seatbelt on and then signaled her to put it on, she felt very embarrassed and when she pulled the seat belt it was stuck and then it finally came on, and she asked him jokingly,
"Has no one ever sat on this seat, the seat belt looks like has been stuck for ages and you didn't know it.",
Tae Yang thinking that he may seem too single replies,
"Ohhhh... it's because my son sits on it with a child safety seat, he plays with it a lot and that is why it is like that."
Bit Na catching on to his lie tells, "I can see a kids' safety seat in the backseat", and giggles.
Tae Yang confesses, "I have been single for a long time as I get shy to ask girls out",
Bit Na says,"You weren't shy to ask me out, and kept calling our meet a 'date'." 
Tae Yang replies, " It is because you said you do not have feelings for me, or do you?".
This makes Bit Na flustered and they reach the metro station.

When she's about to open the door, Tae Yang holds her hand as if stopping her and then he leans in
*CLICK* and he moved back and she saw that he had opened her seat belt and then she got out,
"Uhhh.. Thank you very much & Good Night!!!", she gave a bow and started walking away from his car and started walking towards the stairs to the metro when he called from his car, 
 "Good Night" and gave her a charming smile and drove away.
But his charming behavior left an impression on Bit Na's mind and heart(maeum).
