"Not yet. I'm planning on bringing Little Jun to the mall and treat him for being such a good boy during his doctor's appointment," Hoyeon said.

"Yesh! Junjun good boy, Anko Yu!" Little Jun proudly bragged.

Mingyu chuckled. "Yes. I know that you're a good boy, Little Jun."

Little Jun giggled and made himself more comfortable in Mingyu's arms. He rested his little head on the man's shoulders.

"I see. Did you drive here?" Mingyu asked Hoyeon.

She shook her head and told him that the penthouse's driver dropped them off.

"Well, I'm free for the rest of the day. I can accompany you to the mall. I'll also drive you home later, so you don't need to call the driver to come pick you up again," Mingyu offered. Then he quickly added. "But only if you want, of course."

Hoyeon hesitated and looked at her son.

Seeing this, Mingyu asked the child instead, "Little Jun, do you want to go to the mall with me?"

"Yesh!" Little Jun immediately replied and wrapped his little arms around Mingyu's neck. "Lesh go, Anko Yu! Lesh go, Mommi!"

The two men, one adult and one child, looked at Hoyeon expectantly.

She sighed and gave a resigned smile. "Alright, let's go to the mall."

"Yesh! Go go!"

Before they left, Mingyu borrowed a child's car seat from the hospital. He was familiar with most of the staff because of his connection with one of the hospital's best surgeons,Haruto. Fortunately, there were some available that day.

Afterwards, the three headed to the hospital's parking lot for Mingyu's car. Then they drove to the nearby mall.

They first went to the mall's play place. The two chased Little Jun around while he played with much delight. When Little Jun began playing with the other kids, Hoyeon and Mingyu chatted with the other parents.

"Your son is very cute and so friendly," one of the mothers commented. Then she looked at Mingyu. "He looks just like you, his daddy!"

Hoyeon and Mingyu smiled awkwardly. The woman was such a liar. Little Jun didn't look like any of them at all because he looked like Donghwi and a bit like Jennie. Basically, he looked like a Kim. However, they didn't correct the woman. There wasn't any need to make themselves the target of gossip. Besides, they probably wouldn't meet these people again anyway.

After the play place, the three ate a late lunch together at a family restaurant. Little Jun had a bigger appetite than usual because he spent a lot of energy playing at the play place earlier. After eating, they started walking around the mall and randomly shopping, mostly for Little Jun.

It was already late in the afternoon, almost dinnertime, when they finished and decided to go home. Little Jun had also fallen asleep in Hoyeon's arms. Mingyu carried their purchases. They headed to the parking lot.

Unbeknownst to them, someone recognized Hoyeon and Little Jun. She was a teenage girl together with a group of friends. They were all still in their school uniforms. They headed straight to the mall to hang out after school. The teenage girl noticed Hoyeon and her son with an unfamiliar man while inside a department store. She decided to follow them around the mall. Her friends also joined, thinking that it was fun to pretend to be private investigators. The girl recorded videos of Hoyeon's group with her phone and snapped hundreds of photos of them.

When Hoyeon's group left, the teenage girl sent the videos and the photos to her aunt. Her aunt was Zheng Sue, Donghwi's mother.

Gold Heights Condominium.

After eating dinner at the penthouse with Chaerin, Hoyeon and Little Jun returned to their own unit downstairs. Hoyeon just finished getting her son ready for bed when she heard the door to the unit open. Her heart jumped. Other than Jennie, there was only one other person who had the keys to enter the unit. Jennie never entered the place by herself without informing Hoyeon first, so it must be the other person.

Hoyeon carried Little Jun and hurried to the living room. Just like what she thought, it was Donghwi. Despite feeling hurt from the growing distance between them and his refusal to return to live with them at the condo unit, Hoyeon was still filled with excitement and longing for him. She wanted to put aside their differences for now and welcome him home.

"You're back," she said with a smile. "Come in. Have you eaten yet? There's no food here but we can order some home delivery for you if you want."

Little Jun was also excited upon seeing his father. He wriggled in his mother's arms and reached for Donghwi.

"Dada! Dada!"

Both the mother and son were excited that Hwi finally returned home to them. Donghwi's expression, however, was the polar opposite of theirs. It was cold and furious. Hoyeon finally noticed that something was off, so she stopped approaching. She became cautious and gave him a confused look, silently asking him what was wrong.

Instead of greeting or explaining, Donghwi pulled out a stack of something from a brown envelope and then threw it on the coffee table. The items scattered across the table. Some even fell to the floor.

When Hoyeon saw what he threw, she stiffened. They were photos of her and Little Jun with Mingyu at the mall earlier that day.

"H-hwi... It's not what it looks like. I can explain..." she said.

Little Jun also saw the photos and recognized Mingyu. He beamed and pointed at his image.

"Anko Yu!" he exclaimed and then looked at Donghwi, introducing his new favourite uncle to his father.

Donghwi's expression became uglier seeing the delighted expression of his son while pointing at the image of another man. He shot furious eyes at Hoyeon and then roared at her.

"How dare you cheat on me, you unfaithful whore?!!!"
