"I'm sorry for disturbing but, but can you help me today, Tzuyu-ssi?" the manly nervous voice could be heard after he cleared his throat. Dahyun couldn't help but cover her mouth not to speak a word. She was in awe seeing Tzuyu being called by the CEO.

"Ahh. Sure. Daepyonim. I will be there after I finish my work." Tzuyu said gingerly, trying to prioritize her work first.

"Uhmm. Thank you, Tzuyu-ssi." he hangs up his phone in a hurry. Tzuyu and Dahyun looked at each other, blinking their eyes in unison.

"OMO! Eonni, how can he know your number?" She asked still being curious.

"I don't know either." Tzuyu blinked her eyes too. "I should finish it as fast as possible. It might be Yeojin who wants me to be there." Tzuyu remembered Yeojin, the one who would call her for sure other than her CEO.

"Are you sure it wasn't our CEO who needs you the most?" Dahyun teased her, shrugging her shoulder to Tzuyu's.

"Impossible," she mumbled flatly.

"Um, Eonni... Don't you feel that your face becomes redder.. wow. I feel there would be something happening with you.." Dahyun narrowed her eyes with a sly smile.

"Don't make any rumor here," Tzuyu whispered to her.

"Understand.. hahaha I can't wait for the good news." Dahyun chuckled.

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

"Tzuyu-ssi. Please come inside! Our Daepyonim is waiting for you." A middle-aged man with his glasses greeted her politely, which made her bow back to him. His hand gestured pointing at the door and opened it for Tzuyu.

"Thank You, Sir," Tzuyu said while bowing.

"You're welcome, Miss Tzuyu." He smiled before shutting the door and Tzuyu entered her CEO's room with her jaw open. The room was three times bigger than her living room in the home. It is divided into two areas. The one was filled with pinky small baby beds and dolls, while on the opposite was the CEO's working table. They divided the two areas with a sofa and table for guests in the middle of it. The room was neatly set except for Yeojin's part. Jungkook played with Yeojin on her bed and diverted his focus hearing that Tzuyu had come to the room.

"Mom," Yeojin called her Mom again right after she came inside.

"Dad... Look!" Yeojin with her baby voice ordered Jungkook to look at Yeojin by pointing her finger. Jungkook then took a glance and greeted her with a smile. He brought Yeojin into his embrace and walked toward her.

"Yeojin-ya. Let's greet Aunt," he asked Yeojin to greet her and in a second Yeojin bowed to Tzuyu. "Good girl." Jungkook smiled rubbing her hair lightly. Automatically, Yeojin expanded her arms to get Tzuyu's embrace.

"Aigoo...Yeojin-ya, Good girl." Tzuyu said as she had Yeojin in her embrace. "Aunt Tzuyu misses you." Tzuyu tightened her embrace, which made Yeojin chuckle loudly.

"Uhmm. Sorry for disturbing you, Tzuyu-ssi...But, I have a meeting in an hour. It might end late at night and I can't leave Yeojin for that long. So, I need your help badly." Jungkook awkwardly asked her. His hand scratched his nape even though it wasn't itchy.

"Ah... Sure, Daepyonim. It is fine." Tzuyu gave a slight smile to her CEO. The facial expression of her CEO attracts her more to help him. He looked extremely tired this time with his dark-bag eyes.

"Thank you. Tzuyu-ssi." Jungkook slightly bowed his back, making her feel uneasy.

"It is fine, Daepyonim.." Tzuyu replied slightly bow. Jungkook took Yeojin's bag and his bag in a hurry and made sure that the had turned off all the air conditioner and electronics in his room before he left.

"Uhmm, let's go to my car. I will bring you to your home.." Jungkook led the way to the car.

"Excuse me. Daepyonim." Tzuyu stopped his step unconsciously with her body covering the door. "Is it fine If I took Yeojin with me to the hospital, Daepyonim? I should take a look at my mother." Tzuyu asked gingerly.

"Ahhh. It's fine, Yejin-ssi. I'm extremely fine as long as Yeojin is with you. I'm sorry you might be burdened this way. But I can't avoid the meeting and I couldn't handle it for all." Jungkook reassured her. "Thank you so much, Tzuyu-ssi."

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

Jungkook washed his hands on the sink, after doing his matter in the restroom. The meeting was later than it should be done. He checked his wrist and showed that it was almost midnight on his watch. Fortunately, tomorrow was Saturday, and he could take a rest for the whole day if he wasn't a single -father.

Imagining Yeojin made him exhale his breath and forgot that all day in a deep slumber wish. He tugged a smile, her daughter would take him on a trip to the zoo or amusement park. Even if she was still way long to be understood, the view of people and animals would amuse her, other than being caged in his apartment all day. He washed away his whole day's rest thought, it would be a tough journey for him and Yeojin.

The voice of someone who was coming to the washroom tickled his peripheral vision to take a look. The gesture of the man with a formal tuxedo like him put him to the conclusion that he might go to a meeting like him. The restaurant itself was often being booked by businessmen for meeting out of the working time. It served good dishes and was a 24-hour open restaurant that was suited for the workaholic businessman to go.

"Long time no see. Jungkook-ssi." a familiar voice that made Jungkook's jaw tighten. The man took a side on him, fixing his not-very-disheveled hair.

'Still being over proud of himself' he thought while grinned not so friendly smile.

"2 years or 3 years??? we've met but you didn't change a bit." the man burst his thought nonchalantly, ignoring Jungkook's furious facial expression.

The man stopped his word sarcastically.

"You look thinner. Is life going well for you?" the man sarcastically blurted his thought and tightened his jaw holding back his long-time emotion. He wanted to ask further, but the last incident prevent him to do that. He tried to do slight chitchatting and got him closer to Jungkook before he declared his urge.

"Lee Minhyuk-ssi. My life is not your problem but yours is." Jungkook said right on his face giving him a dead look, before leaving him.
