Chapter-04

Previous chapter:

"Who are you?"A baby voice asked her and she looked down at the owner of the voice just to see a cute little girl standing there while looking at her.

Heesun gazed at Ara with an endearing expression. However, as she looked into Ara’s eyes, a familiar resemblance struck her—the same eyes as her son.

“Don’t you have ears?”Ara asked, her voice sweet but tinged with anger. Clearly, she was upset about something.

“Aww, you’re adorable, baby. But I’ll reveal my identity if you let me enter your house.”Heesun said softly.

“Noooo! I won’t let you in because Ninnu told me not to allow strangers into our house!” Ara’s baby voice emphasized her determination.

“Oh, then I guess I’ll leave…”Heesun feigned sadness.

“Wait! Are you Sad? It’s okay—I’ll let you in, but don’t tell Ninnu, okay?” Ara’s smile returned.

“Who’s this Ninnu, baby?” Heesun asked, genuinely curious.

“Ara’s mama!” Ara’s excitement was contagious.

"Omo you're so cute baby..!!"
Heesun scooped Ara into her arms and stepped inside. Yejin, who was in the kitchen heard their noise and hurried into the living room. She became a bit panic when she saw Ara in a stranger’s embrace.

“Um, can I know who you are?” Yejin’s voice held a mix of curiosity and concern.

“Oh, hi! I’m Heesun, your new neighbor from the opposite apartment.” Heesun smiled warmly.

“Nice to meet you, Heesun. I’m Yejin."She said with her bright smile "Come, have a seat. Let me get you something to drink.” Yejin headed to the kitchen.

Heesun settled on the nearby couch, Ara in her lap while Ara was busy playing with her new doll. After sometime Yejin returned with juice and heesun accepted it with a polite smile.

“Where’s your husband? Didn't he come with you?

“He’s no longer with us. It’s just me and my son. He leaves for the office in the morning.” Yejin’s smile masked her sadness.

"Oh I'm apologizing for asking then" Yejin said with an apologetic face

“No worries dear. And your family?” Heesun asked

“My husband is out buying groceries, and my daughter is at an interview and she's my grand daughter” Yejin gestured toward Ara.

“And Ara’s father?” Heesun asked with a little curiosity

“Ara doesn’t have dada.” Ara’s innocent statement hung in the air. Heesun exchanged a glance with Yejin, understanding the unspoken pain.

As they chatted, they became fast friends. Ara grew comfortable with Heesun, and even Hyunbin joined them after returning from the grocery store.

Meanwhile, at Taehyung’s office:

Taehyung was taking interview for his new secretary because of his transfer to Seoul from America. But he didn't like any of the candidates he took interview. Cuz they all are busy drooling over him instead of focusing on the interview.Displeased with the candidates, he sighed and took the next candidate name.The next appointment was for “Lee Jennie.” As he read the name, memories flooded his mind, about a particular someone. But he pushed them aside and called Jennie in and within sometime Jennie enter in.

When their both eyes met, they both become shocked to death.Jennie's world got stopped after seeing the person infront of her.Her legs wobbled, and she steadied herself against the nearby door.

Taehyung, equally stunned, rose from his seat and uttered a single word: “NINI.”
