I took a bus to Dino's cafe from Wonwoo's office.

"Good morning!"

The smell of coffee beans immediately stung my nose as soon as I stepped inside.

"Morning!" The workers greeted me back while doing their duties.

It's been ten minutes or so since the café had opened up. People began queueing up for a cup of morning coffee.

I entered the baking station ㅡ the place where I work ㅡ and I found Dino, baking up some breads and croissants.

Like I said, this place was so enormous that it also served bakery-made-like breads.

"Morning, Chan!" I called as I put my apron on.

Dino whiped his head toward me, "Hey, Aggie."

I headed to the sink to wash my hand as I heard the coffee counter was extremely filled with orders.

"Aggie? Mind to give a hand?"

I snapped my thoughts and approached Dino who seemed over-struggling.

I extended my hand toward him without saying anything. His reaction was a bit slow though. As soon as he noticed, he laughed.

"Seriously, Aggie? Still doing this lame joke?"

"What? You told me to give you my hand."

"Ew you are so old-fashioned. Guess moms are all the same, huh?"

I chuckled, "I'm different, though."

Enough with the joke, he handed me the dough and leaned his hand on the table, "Late again?"

"Yeah, Wonwoo left his document and I had to hand it over to him."

Dino nodded, "Hm. How's Wonho?"

"Missing Uncle Dino like crazy."

Dino smirked, "I know. I miss him too. Take him here after school."

In my lunch time, I usually picked Dino from school. I couldn't let him stay in the house alone. It's a cruel world outside, so I took him here.

Meanwhile, in the other side, Wonwoo was peacefully working with his new 'so-called' partner.

The atmosphere was totally so quiet that the space between them became larger somewhat.

However, Wonwoo felt uneasy.

"Umm, Miss Sebin? Have you finished the report?" Wonwoo asked, breaking the silence.

Sebin lifted her head up, shifting her gaze from the report she was holding, "Yes, I have, sir."

"Good." Wonwoo stood up and took the report from her table, "I'm giving this to Charles. Will you excuse me for a second, please."

Wonwoo casually strolled out of his room and headed to Charles' room.

Wonwoo barged in rudely, eventhough it wasn't necessary.

"Hey." Charles said without shifting his eyes from the paper he was working on.

"Hey Charles."

Charles looked at his friend, "How's the report?"

"Done." Wonwoo handed Charles the paper.

Charles read the paper for a while, "Good, you may leave. See ya at lunch time."

Wonwoo obeyed, but before he left, he turned his back.

"Hey what's up with the new girl, man? You didn't tell me I'd have a partner." said Wonwoo, completely annoyed.

"Well I was going to make it a surprise, but yeah."

Wonwoo remained shutted, making an are-you-kidding-me face.

"Okay here's why." Charles sat up straight, "How's your grandfather?"

Wonwoo rolled his eyes, "Why do you wa-"

Then he came back to his sense.

Ah right... the seventh years...

"Now you remember?"

"Y-yeah, but what does it has to do with me?"

"First grandson, remember?

~~~

"Mommy mommy!"

Wonho's small legs ran toward me briskly. I bowed down to his level and embrace him.

"Having fun at school, Wonho?" I asked as I let him go.

"Yes mommy, I'll show you my drawing later."

Seeing is bright smile, I giggled, "Okay, let's go to mommy's workplace first."

Wonho and Dino were best buddies. When Wonho was born, Dino was the first one to come and gave the name; Wonho.

"Mommy, can I play with uncle Dino?"

"Sure. But what about the other uncles and aunties? Don't you want them to play along?"

Wonho grinned and blushed.

"Eyy Jeon Wonho. I know you love Uncle Dino but why don't you play with the others?"

Wonho didn't answer because as soon as we arrived, Wonho ran inside and went searching for Dino.

When I entered, the costumers' eyes were on the nice view of Wonho being embraced in Dino's arm.

I playfully slapped Dino's arm, "Hey people may think he's your son."

"Why not? It's nice to have a son like him."

"Get yourself your own son."

Dino snorted as he laugh, "Yes ma'am!"

Wonho then cutely coppied him, "Yes, mom!"

Then I went back to the baking station. I had a lot of croissants to do.

But suddenly, my head felt like being thumped so hard.

I attempted to gave it a massage, but it became worse.

"Aggie?" Dino called, "You alright?"

"Huh? Y-yeah, I guess."

Not long after, the pain shifted to my stomach.

Suddenly I felt like my energy had been drowned. All I want was just a relaxing break on my bed without anyone bothering me.

I laid my hand on Dino's shoulder and called him with my faint voice, "Dino-ya"

"Are you sure you're okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No, I'm just... tired. Can I go home earlier today?"

Seemed like Wonho disapproved with me and whined, "Aahh mom, I still wanna be here!"

Dino smiled, "Just go home, I'll take Wonho home after I close the store."

I smiled back with all of the energy I have, "Thank you, Dino."
