"Yi En is coming here tomorrow to see you. I already told him to meet you at the apartment to avoid the media." Nathan stated, making his sister tense up and stared at him blankly.

Nara took the day off as she was going to meet with her boyfriend after months and after 2 weeks since the argument. The two of them will be the only one at her apartment as Nathan went somewhere for business and their mother went to hang out with some friends, giving them complete privacy. As she nervously waited for the boyfriend to come, she took the time to calm herself by baking cookies to keep her mind distracted for a while. She wore her apron, rolled up her sleeves, tied her hair up and took the ingredients before preheating her oven.
She was in her own world when someone came in the apartment without her noticing. That someone was about to call out for her as they came in and closed the door before hearing a 'DING!' coming from the kitchen.

'She must be baking some cookies.' They thought and walked to the kitchen to see the caregiver scooping the cookie batter into her baking tray while humming a song with a smile on her face. They continued to stare at her as she baked.

"Aaahh!!" She screamed after noticing that someone, almost dropping her second batch of baked cookies. "Yi En!! Don't do that!! I almost had a heart attack." She placed her last batch of unbaked cookie into the oven and the newly baked one on the counter.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." He apologized before joining her in the kitchen and sitting at the island stool. "I was about to call you when I heard you were in the kitchen."

"Sorry about that. I was in my baking world." She apologized back as she placed a plate of chocolate chips in front of him. "Have some and some milk too." The young man thanked and took a sweet treat after she gave him a glass of milk.

"I always love your baking." He complimented and she nodded before taking one for herself. "Did Nathan told you about the reason why I came here?" She nodded again and put all her used utensils into the sink before pulling a stool to sit in front of him. "Baby.."

"Please don't... call me that." She tensed up as her voice cracked before looking away from him. Nara covered her face with her hand as she whimpered. "Yi En, please? Don't do this to me. I don't think I can handle this even after 2 weeks."

"Nana.. Please?" He softly called before walking behind her and slowly hugging her. "I'm really sorry for what happened between us 2 weeks ago. I didn't mean it for what I said and I felt like hell about what happened. About us... About this whole thing.. I'm really sorry, Baby.." He turned to uncover her face and let her cried to his chest. "I'm so so sorry that I made you cried all those days. I'm really sorry, Baby." He hugged her back as his voice cracked and sniffled. "I really love you."

"Everything was doing fine, but the way you acted over a stupid trainee's secret past is not ok. It's never going to be ok to me." Nara sobbed and pulled away from him before taking a few deep breaths. Mark wiped away her tears and kissed her temple as he hugged her again. "Can we please watch a Disney movie?" She mumbled and pouted, making him giggled as he nodded, knowing that Nara always watched a few Disney's movies whenever she was upset.

The two headed off to the living room and cuddled as they watched a movie. After the movie came to an end, Nara moved away from him and walked to the balcony as she sighed. Mark followed suit after a few moments as he was worried about her.

"Nana.. Are you ok?" He asked and stood next to her. Nara sighed again before shook her head. "Care to share it with me?" He pulled her closer by wrapping his arms around her. Nara turned to him as her eyes started to tear up again.
