"So you are a full-time babysitter?"

I helplessly nodded at his mother. I could hear Jimin sighing, probably relieved that I decided to go along with his stupid lie.

I somehow found myself sitting in his sofa, right next to his mother who was now cradling the baby. This whole time I had been glaring at Jimin, who was desperately trying to avoid making eye contact with me. Every time he accidentally glanced at me, he would shift a little uncomfortably.

I had my hands in a fist because I didn't trust them. They were itching to clasp around his neck and strangle him but I couldn't do that, at least not in front of his mum.

"What's his name?" she asked, glancing up at me.

My face suddenly turned blank and so did my mind. Me and Jimin looked at each other, we both had the same panicked expression. I had to think fast.

I scanned the surrounding, searching for anything that could help me. I knew many names, but in that moment of time, I couldn't think of a single one. I certainly don't do well under pressure.

"Jun..."

Me and his mother looked at him as he rapidly blinked at us back.

"Yeah, his name is Jun."

I said it slowly, trying to get used to the foreign name. I looked at his mother and gave her an assuring smile.

"Awww Jun is so precious! Jimin, when will you get me a grandchild like this?"

She was too busy playing with Jun to realise how awkward the atmosphere had become. The scared expression on his face gave me no doubts on what he was thinking.

We had discussed earlier about how this child could be his. He was probably giving himself a headache thinking about how he could be the father.

Serves him right, to be honest. That's the danger of being a playboy and a sex addict. I mean I wasn't certain he was that kind of person. But assuming from the way he knew himself that there was a possibility of him being the father just allowed me to make a logical guess.

"Oh goodness, how can I forget? Let me make you guys lunch!"

She handed me Jun and ran out of the room. That's when I finally acknowledged the time. I was too busy dealing with the baby and Jimin to realise that I hadn't even had my breakfast. My morning had flown way too fast, which I wasn't complaining about because I wanted my horrible day to end as fast as possible.

"I will allow the baby to stay with me until your mother leaves," I said, standing up to go back to my house.

"Oh- About that," he said, letting out a nervous laugh, "Mum's actually going to stay for the weekend."

That made me freeze instantly, I almost risked dropping the baby.

"I can't keep him for two whole days!"

Jimin quickly put his index finger on his lips, indicating to me to be quiet. He had no idea how kind I was being by not going to work to help him. But now he wants to take it further and take advantage of my kindness! This was exactly why I was rarely nice to anybody. The only person who was going to benefit from this was him and I didn't like that. I wasn't here to re-enact the Good Samaritan story.

"Please help me out till my mum leaves. I will help you big time in the future."

He pouted his lips and blinked at me with his hands clasped together. I cringed at his disgusting attempt to act cute, I had to refrain from vomiting on his carpet.

"Alright, but I'm going home now."

"Stay for lunch," he said, reaching out for my arm, which I quickly pulled away.

"Aren't you asking for too much?" I spat out.

My anger was increasing by the second and I couldn't trust myself any longer to calm my temper. Thankfully he had given up trying to persuade me. So I made my way to the exit.

The doorbell rang as I was just about to open it.

Honestly, this guy has too many visitors.

When I opened the door, my eyes met the person's chest. It was the most common body part that was in my eye level, due to my shortness.

"Excuse me," I said to the guy wearing a grey sweatshirt.

I tried to walk past him, but I froze when he suddenly spoke.

"Nari? Aren't you Kim Nari?"

I felt goose bumps and a shiver down my spine when I heard him speak. The familiarity of his voice made my heart rate increase to an abnormal rate almost automatically.

Oh God. Not him!

Half of me wanted to make sure of who he was but the other half didn't. I slowly and reluctantly glanced up to see a smiling face looking down on me.

What kind of fate was I intertwined with to meet him again at such an unexpected moment? I didn't think I would ever see him again, but there he was. Standing only a few centimetres away and smiling at me like an innocent person.

In my whole entire life, there has only been one guy who has managed to make me sweat like there was no tomorrow and make my heart beat at the rate of someone being electrocuted.

There I stood. Frozen- with a messy appearance and a baby in my arm. Definitely not how I wanted to be seen again by my first love.

"I'm sorry I must have mistaken you to be someone else- "

"NO! I am Kim Nari!"

I instantly cringed at how desperate and high-pitched my voice sounded. I needed to get my act together, but that wasn't going to happen with him standing in front of me.

"Woah! Fancy seeing you here!" he exclaimed letting out a laugh, playfully nudging my arm.

My face was probably coloured with all different shades of red, due to me blushing so hard. I could literally feel heat radiating off of my body because of how flustered I was. Anytime soon, I was going to reach my boiling point and melt across the floor.

I joined him with my forced and awkward laugh, as I once again mentally cringed at my pathetic existence.

"You have a baby now?" he asked, acknowledging Jun sleeping in my arms.

"Yeah...Somehow things turned out like this."

He gave me a confused look but quickly went back to smiling. It was a mystery to me as to how he could smile so much all of the time. The even bigger mystery was how a cynical and pessimistic person like me could have a crush on a kind and happy person like him. Even after so many years, I still couldn't figure out the science behind my attraction to him.

"Well then. I hope to see you again soon, Kim Nari."

"You too. Jung Hoseok," I said, timidly.

I blushed harder after saying his name. I hadn't said it in years and I never thought I would ever say it out loud again.

A/N Yay let's welcome Hoseok everybody!! I just realised how slow this story is going but I will try my best to speed it up a bit lol.
