Tzuyu let out a small sigh after the meeting with the hospital administrator. She kept caressing the child in her hug who was asleep, tired of crying. She strayed her sight on the hospital building, taking a seat on the bench, in the hospital garden.

"Excuse me..." A deep voice brought her to reality. She looked at the handsome man who wore a black suit with a cold drink in his two hands and greeted her. She tried to stand up, wanting to greet him politely, but he stopped her ways.

"It's okay, just sit." He smiled and took a seat beside her, he opened a can of chocolate drink and lend it to her. Tzuyu was amused at first and felt a Deja Vu when she reached for the can.

" Thank you, Jeon Jungkoo- Daepyonim." Tzuyu took the can slightly bowing. Jungkook just let out a slight smile while opening his drink and taking a gulp.

"I must be the one who says thank you," He smiled looking at the can in his hand. "I don't know what drink you will like, so I take chocolate instead. It's because I couldn't think of any kind of drink other than chocolate.." He chuckled.

" It's fine, Daepyonim." She took gulped off the drink he gave in a manner way in front of the CEO.

"Ah... right! I don't know your name yet." He added.

" I am Chou Tzuyu, Daepyonim!" Tzuyu said nervously.

The thought of meeting the most important person in the office would be a dream for her, no one would be brave enough to meet him. Her high-class personality, sculpture-like face, skill, and power turned everyone around him, feel as if they were nothing more than him. The daughter of him shocked her.

She didn't even know that her CEO had a child, even his wedding wasn't something that would be heard in the company. The workers just knew that he was single. Mysterious indeed.

"Let me take Yeojin to the car. She must have made you tired this whole day. She is asleep though." He took Yeojin from her hug and lead her way to his car.

"Be careful on the way, Daepyonim." Tzuyu stood up and bowed to him. He looked back at her and gave her a questioning look. He tilted his head aside.

"I will take you to your house with me. Since It is dark already." He said to her with a smile pointing his finger to the dark sky.

"Aniyo, it's okay, Daepyonim. " He dragged Yejin's hand and brought her with him to his car.

"I won't let someone who saves my daughter be in danger." He smiled.

He opened the passenger seat and let her enter his car. He turned into a backseat to let Yeojin sleep in her baby car seat and soothed her. After he was done with Yeojin, he took a seat in the driver's seat and drove the car passed the night road.

"Chou Tzuyu-ssi, the front office right?" He said out of nowhere breaking the ice.

" Yes, Daepyonim" she mumbled. Tzuyu was surprised that he knew her job. Every morning, when her boss was coming, all the workers would greet him, but she wouldn't even dream to be recognized by him.

"Thank you so much, Chou Tzuyu-ssi. It's a relief knowing that Yeojin was saved. It almost makes me get a heart attack." He chuckled trying to break off the awkwardness.

"It's okay, Daepyonim." Tzuyu still keeps her eyes down not knowing what to do.

"Mom..." the little girl cried loudly which echoed in the car.

"Who is Mom?" He suddenly mumbled while driving, until he realized that Yeojin woke up from her sleep. He stopped the car sideways near the bridge. They looked back to Yeojin in unison. Yeojin cried and lifted her arms to Tzuyu.

"Who is Mom, Yeojin-ya?" his voice tried to calm her while his hand patted her chest lightly, but she cried even louder and signed that she want to be hugged by Tzuyu.

Tzuyu pulled out the seatbelt and in a hurry came to Yeojin. She hugged her in a time and caressed Yeojin back to see the view of the night. Fortunately, the car stopped on the bridge where lights were hanging through and built a nice romantic view.

"Look at that Yeojin-ya, Isn't it pretty?" Tzuyu's hand pointed out to the lights made her cry turn into sobbing. Yeojin hugged her tightly and rest her head on Tzuyu's shoulder. Tzuyu wiped her wet eyes and kept on soothing her.

"Are you having a bad dream, Yeojin-ya? It's okay, Aunt is here." Tzuyu said swinging her body slightly.

Jungkook was touched, once he saw the whole scene and came closer to them. He couldn't just ask Tzuyu to soothe his daughter for a whole day, right? It was none of her business.

"Yeojin-ya... Come to Dad! Aunt is tired, let's go home, our pretty daughter." He did some cute movements to grab Yeojin's attention, which made Tzuyu want to burst into laughter. Of course, she hold her laugh with her lips shut tightly, he was her boss anyway.

------------------

The 27-month-old girl sat down on the sofa, watching the cartoon. She focused on television while her dad Jungkook, cleaned up the whole apartment by himself after the daughter's things finished.

The babysitter that he put his trust in Yeojin, who was the daughter's name, betrayed him hard. Once, he found that her daughter's hand had bruised and sometimes when it was late at night and he slept in Yeojin's bedroom, he found some bluish-red color on her body. He couldn't stand with the babysitter and ended the contract after informed the incident to the babysitter's agency and making a report to the police.

He also ended the contract with the assistant who helped him do chores. He was still traumatized by the accident. Because in fact, the assistant knew the whole story but she didn't do anything. At least, little action like informing him would help him to end the babysitter's contract faster.

He decided to move on to the small apartment which was smaller than his house, in case it can be handled by himself for some time ahead before he found a trusted nanny for Yeojin. He let his house was being handled by a property agency, and if it was being sold, he will let it be, because he couldn't handle it all by himself. He needed to be focused on Yeojin and his company too.

He changed his clothes after he cleaned up the apartment and came to Yeojin.

"Mom." Yeojin's voice surprised him.

"Who is Mom? Yeojin-ya?" He controlled his voice to be kid's friendly since she was born.

He sat beside her who was still focusing on her television. "Mom." her little finger pointed to the television. He turned his face to the television. The picture of a baby bee being hugged and caressed by a bigger bee, which is known as the baby bee's mother because the baby bee called the bigger bee 'Mom'. He gulped his throat uneasily and turned off the television when it finished.

"Yeojin-yaa, we should stop watching television for today, Come to Dad." She threw herself at him and clanged onto him.

"Now, Dad will go to work. I'm sorry... Dad should bring you with Dad, but I promise there would be a lot of dolls in Dad's room." She nodded lightly and Jungkook gave her favorite Barbie doll. He lifted her and a bag filled with her things on him also his work bag before leaving the apartment.
