"Hello, Nurse Kang. How is my mother's condition?" Tzuyu said on the phone in front of the women's restroom during break time.

"Your mother is still in a critical state but please keep praying for her."

"Thank you, Nurse Kang," Tzuyu replied weakly and hang up the phone.

"It is still far from okay," Tzuyu mumbled and exhaled her breath. Her head turned down and suddenly a red liquid dropped onto her shoes.

Naturally, her hand touched her nose and found that she was bleeding. She lifted her head and went to the restroom fast to get it done.

The whole situation was seen by someone far. The view itself led him to go closer to her. He was Jungkook, who decided to get some fresh air in case her daughter got bored in his room.

Jungkook with his daughter in his embrace, who stood away from Tzuyu not making a sound. His daughter was also silent other than bubbly out of nowhere. The appearance of her nosebleed, made him feel bad for her. He just knew that she should be at work and be on her mother's side in the hospital.

'She must be tired' He thought.

"Mo- Mom..." Yeojin's sudden mumbled bringing him back to reality. Her little finger pointed to the restroom indicating that she wanted to go there.

"Still Mom? Aunt." Jungkook explained to Yeojin patiently. He didn't want to make any rumors about Tzuyu, the front office, and him in the company.

He chose to wait for Tzuyu in front of the restroom. After waiting for minutes, Tzuyu went out of the restroom while dapped her dirty uniform with a tissue.

"Mom..." Yeojin's voice attracted Tzuyu to see her. Tzuyu turned her head and saw the little girl smiling at her which also curved her lips into a smile. Yeojin's hands sprawled like she was longing for a hug from Tzuyu.

"Mom." the little girl giggled inviting Tzuyu to pick her up from her father's hug.

"Yeojin-yaa. Aunt Tzuyu misses you." naturally Tzuyu mumbled and got responses from the little girl with giggles.

"ehem.." Jungkook coughed to get their attention.

"Ahh. I'm sorry, Daepyonim." Tzuyu bowed slightly to him.

"Um, How about getting lunch together, since it's time for her to get some?" Jungkook asked Tzuyu, which made her blink in confusion.

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

Jungkook tried to put on Nana's bib which seemed like a difficult thing to do, which led Tzuyu naturally take charge.

"I'm sorry, Daepyonim... but it should be put like this," Tzuyu explained to him carefully, trying not to make him bad.

"Ohh, I see." Jungkook smiled awkwardly. "It's a new thing from me after her Nanny left her." Jungkook explained to Tzuyu who sat in front of her with Yeojin.

"Oh, I see. Daepyonim. I'm sorry, Daepyonim, If it doesn't bother you, Yeojin's mother?" Tzuyu carefully burst her curiousness these times.

Jungkook gulped his throat, feeling uneasy with the question. Seeing the appearance made Tzuyu feel bad after asking that kind of question.

"I'm sorry, Daepyonim. I am wrong. I was just curious about Yeojin who called me Mom." Tzuyu added before getting the answer, in case she didn't want her CEO to feel awkward.

"It is okay. Seems like she wants to meet her mother." Jungkook chuckled but it didn't reach his eyes.

"Ahh...I'm sorry." Tzuyu said uneasy.

They kept the silence in awkwardness, except for Yeojin who happily babbled some words to Tzuyu, until the food they had ordered coming.

Jungkook took a bit of his food silently, while Tzuyu helped Yeojin to take a good meal.

Tzuyu and Yeojin's view silently turned his lips into a slight smile. Sometimes, he took a glance at Tzuyu while eating and mesmerized her in silence.

"Food...Mom." Yeojin's little finger tried to feed Tzuyu with the food she had. Tzuyu took a bit and gave her a smile which made her giggle and clapped her hand happily.

"Thank you." Tzuyu said nodding her head to Yeojin. Yeojin kept doing the things that gave him the conclusion that Yeojin loves Tzuyu. It tickled his heart.

'How can she easily love a stranger this fast?' Jungkook thought arose his bitterness remembering Yeojin's mother. She even didn't want to meet Yeojin, since Yeojin was Tzuyu.

"Honey." A woman's voice came closer to the table. Tzuyu turned her focus to the woman who came to Jungkook. Tzuyu naturally nodded, giving a slight bow knowing that it must be CEO's woman and she might be Yeojin's mother.

"What are you doing?" Jungkook who was surprised after turning his face to the woman, greeted her coldly.

"How come you be like this? I miss you." She acted clingy to Jungkook which put Tzuyu in an awkward situation. Tzuyu tried to keep playing with Yeojin ignoring the view she had seen.

"Let's go somewhere!" Jungkook grabbed the woman's hand to go somewhere else which couldn't be seen by Tzuyu and Yeojin.

"Yeojin-ya...Is she your mother?" Tzuyu asked her cutely.

"Nyoo...Nyooo..." Yeojin's little finger waved signing a NO and kept slurping the meal in front of her.

"Mom. Eat." Yeojin took a little meal and feed Tzuyu once again. Yeojin giggled and clapped her hand after feeding Tzuyu which made her feel special.

Jungkook came again after Tzuyu cleaned up Yeojin and her meal. He looked a bit messy and his hand took a glass of water in front of him before taking a seat.

"I'm sorry. I will finish it in no time." Jungkook said as he started munching his almost untouched meal. He took his meal in a hurry.

"Take your time, Daepyonim. It would make a problem for your stomach." Tzuyu said as she felt bad looking at him who didn't have time to just make himself comfortable.

For days when her CEO started to bring his daughter, she often saw him busy with work and Yeojin. He didn't even get a rest. His appearance was different since he brought Yeojin to the company. He looked a little bit messy but still tried to look tidy at least. His hair and his tie sometimes looked disheveled even if it turned out like it was being styled.

"Oh." Jungkook was startled by her words and started to take time to enjoy the meal. Tzuyu kept playing with Yeojin and brought Yeojin in her embrace to walk around the restaurant, giving him some time alone so he could munch his meal in peace. It could be heard Yeojin laughing and babbling at every word Tzuyu had spoken. Yeojin was indeed a smart kid. No wonder she was CEO's daughter. She tried to copy Yejin's words and her pronunciation of Tzuyu's clearly for kids around her age. It showed that her father taught her so well. She was lovely and full of laughter. They took a long time together and didn't even realize that Jungkook had done the payment.

"Ehem." Jungkook cleared his throat to get Tzuyu's attention, didn't know another way to break the lovey-dovey moment between Tzuyu and Yeojin.

"Oh. Daepyonim." Tzuyu turned her face to Jungkook. He smiled at Yeojin and sprawled his hand to get Yeojin's embrace.

"Come to Dad. Aunt Yejin must be tired." Jungkook said as Yeojin went to his embrace.

"Alright. Our pretty daughter.." Jungkook caressed Yeojin's back lightly "Thank you Tzuyu-ssi."
