Jihyo's POV

"Unnie! Hyojun!" Soeun greeted both of us as we enter the restaurant. Soeun officially worked as a waitress in my restaurant since 2 weeks ago. Work is thankfully not that stressful as I thought it would be. I've been spending a lot of time with Hyojun to attraction places, he loves it here especially the amusement park.

Some of the workers also greeted us. Hyojun and I obviously greet them back. Hyojun hugged Soeun and run to some of the group female employees near the cashier area.

"How's today?" I asked, I've came here almost everyday and always ask the exact same thing. You know, things might happened when I'm not here since I mostly work at home.

"As usual, been busy with the customers. But that's fine, if this restaurant can get more famous, we'll get more wage payment" Soeun grinned.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. I'll be in the office" I rolled my eyes at her and make my way to where my son is.

"Hyojun let Unnie and hyung do their work yeah? Let's go to mommy's office" I knelt down to his height.

"Andwe! I wanna go to the park" he pouts and shakes his head.

"Honey, we just went to the park near the house" I cupped his cheek.

"Okay, can we go stroll?" He popped his eyes to make it more like a puppy, and of course, who can resist that?

"Alright then, just for a while though, alright?" He nodded and hold my hand as we head out, again.

Hyojun and I sit on the bench near the park, ice cream on his hand.

"Does it taste good Hyojun-ah?" I asked him after I took a picture of him eating his ice cream like there is no tomorrow.

"Yes, mommy" I smiled at him as I wipe his mouth with my handkerchief.

After Hyojun played near the park he complained about being sleepy, its already past his noon nap and I need to bring him back to the house.

"Mommy, carry me" he raised both of his arms up wanting me to carry him up.

"You're a big boy, no more carryover" I told him sternly. Even though he is just 2 years old, his height already past his normal height, people might mistaken him being a 4 year olds, and with his big vocabulary making them disbelieve that he is 2 years old.

"No" he whines with body sways side to side and his bottom lip is pulled out.

After a few moments of bickering I finally lift him up off the ground. He rested his head on my shoulder quietly, I guess his really tired. I hopped him in the passenger seat and drive home.

It is 6:15 and I find myself jogged around Han River, Hyojun is probably still sleeping with Mino Oppa who came yesterday since he has no schedule.

Slowed my pace from exhaustion, I sat on the bench as watching people doing their own things. Feeling the breeze against my skin I smiled, remembering my memory when I gave birth to Hyojun, Mino was there as my guardian and actually in the room with me, he was encouraging me like a husband, but no, not like that, we're cousins, we are just really close. My father was furious when he found out that I was pregnant, and came again, he knew about what Junhoe has done to me which he almost report him to the police, but I stopped him before he could telling him that I promised not to lay my eyes on him again, erasing his name on my heart. Forever. He was still mad at me even when I gave birth to Hyojun that's why Mino was there to support me. Being Hyojun in the house, Hyojun's presence slowly healed my father's wound and accepted him in the family, Hyojun is a bless—

"Song Jihyo?" A voice cut me off of my thoughts, which makes me jumped a bit and look at the source of the voice.

My whole body starts trembling, my heart beats even more faster, I blinked frantically as I stood up on my feet. "J-Junhoe," I breathed out, slowly walk backwards.

"Jihyo?" He looked shocked as I am, he changed a lot, his hair is back to black, his shoulder looked more board, I could tell he probably worked out and he looked..... healthier.

"Jihyo," I flinch as he tried to hold my hand. I don't know what to do. Should I run? I promised father not to lay my eyes on him again. Remembering my father I started run to my car, which I parked quite far. But that doesn't stop me, as long as I can get away from him. "Jihyo!" I heard him shout my name and clearly heard his steps, his running after me. I can see my black Lexus car, through my exhaustion condition I speed up my pace. Instead of opening my car door I was already crushed with a heavy weight behind my back, that's when I knew he got me. Junhoe got me. There's nowhere to run. All I could think is Hyojun, what if he knows?

"Why are you running away?" His rough voice was next to my ears, bringing shivers down to my spine. I pant hardly that I can't answer him, or was I too scared to answer him?

"Jihyo," he turns me around facing him, my back against my car and him holding both of my shoulders, my fingers itching to brush the strands of hair that covering his eyes, he was panting too, hardly.

"Jihyo, look at me" his voice demanding but it's different, his voice was careful as if he knows that I'm afraid of him. I averted my eyes to him, he let out a relief breath my brushed my hair behind my ears, which makes me swallowed hard.

"I missed you" he wraps his arm around my waist, resting his head my left shoulder.

I missed you too. Father. I made a promise to my father. I can't. What should I do now? I can't break my promise, I already did. No, I have to go.

I felt my shoulder is wet and Junhoe sniffing, he's crying. No, don't fall for it Jihyo. I can't let him get to me again, he is not a good man.

I try to push him, but my action makes his arms tighten around me. "Please, let me go" I said slowly whilst pushing him by his forearms. "If I let go, you'd leave me, again" he said. "If you don't, you're going to your old behavior to me" I was surprised by my own words, I didn't where that courage from.

Oh Junhoe found her! What going to happen now? Would she ever go back to him or leave him for good? So, can I make Tae oh as Hyojun? He's just so frickin' adorable!
