Everyday Binna has been training and teaching Tae Rae how to act and talk like Taehyung. Today, she's telling her how the kid Taehyung and kid Jungkook met. "Jungkook's mother applied as a cook for the Kim's family. Jungkook was three while Master Taehyung was four. They got close quickly because Master Taehyung is an only child and yearns for someone his age to play with. They were inseparable. We always found them in the back garden playing on the swing or sometimes chasing butterflies. I heard one time, Master Taehyung told his parents that he and Jungkook will get married when they grow up. We all cooed at their cuteness." Binna can't help but smile at the memory of the two kids.
"Why did you stay here? Aren't you loyal to your former employers-the Kims?" Tae Rae asked with knitted brows.
"Like you, I needed money to support my two kids and sick husband. It's hard to find employment nowadays. That's why I chose to stay here, though Sunmi is a bitch and I can't stand her most of the time. She and Master Taehyung are very different, like a devil and an angel. It makes sense because Sir Sangwoo is just the step brother of Master Taehyung's father. Sunmi and Master Taehyung aren't blood related. Sir Sangwoo didn't even think twice before throwing the poor boy out of the mansion." Binna somehow feels guilty doing this, helping her employer with his devious plan but what can she do? Sangwoo would fire her and hurt her family if she didn't obey him. "You have to go to the derm clinic later. Master Taehyung has such flawless sun-kissed skin. If you want to convince Jungkook that you're his Tae hyungie, you have to at least look decent." Binna bluntly pointed out.
Tae Rae winces at the maid's bluntness. "I'll book a regular appointment weekly."
Binna diligently trains Tae Rae against her will to be more like Taehyung and Sangwoo is very pleased. He thinks that his plan is coming to fruition and soon his daughter will have Jungkook while he will have Jeon Corp in the palm of his hand.

Meanwhile, as the days pass in a blur, Jungkook and Taehyung become closer to each other. The young CEO seems to unintentionally assign himself to drive Taehyung to their apartment after work. He doesn't know why it feels good to spend time alone with the male even for brief moments daily. He wants to invite Taehyung to have pizza sometime but he's too shy to do so.
Today is a hectic day in the office as they are launching a new product. Jeon Corp is one of the most successful car manufacturers in Asia. After months of gruesome work, they're going to introduce the newest car model developed by the company. Everyone in the office is very busy. The employees barely have time for lunch break, especially the coffee team who is on their feet all day, preparing and making coffee for executives and managers.
Jungkook is very happy at the turn of events. The new car model receives praises from the media and clients. The company's stock price soared. He feels well-accomplished as a businessman but a failure as a lover. When all the excitement dies down, he is again overtaken with sadness and longing as he sits alone in his office staring at the photo of his Tae hyungie. "When will I see you again, Tae hyungie? I miss you so much. I want to give you the world and take care of you. Will I ever see you again?"
