Jihyo's POV

"J-Junhoe" I blinked my eyes a couple times, to make sure he really is here. I looked at Hyojun who's in Junhoe's arms while smiling at me.

"Mommy, this is the uncle that I talked about" Hyojun said. About 4 days ago, Hyojun talked about the uncle that helped him walk to the restaurant when Soeun was supposed to watch him.

"You—" Junhoe looked at me, his gaze is burning, I could see his veins visible, he is mad.

"Hyojun-ah, why don't you go continue watching your cartoon and finish your fruits, let me talk to this uncle, yeah?" I told him. Junhoe put him down and ruffles his hair giving him a smile. His smile fade as Hyojun left and looked at me.

I move backward as he took a step closer. "This uncle?" He said, his voice in disbelief and frustration.

"This uncle?!" He said once more, he hissed as he grabbed me by the forearm, my breathing was uncontrollable, my lips shaking, don't know what to say.

"H-how d-did you f-find me?" I asked, looking at him with blurry eyes.

"I followed you, I was in the car, thinking how could you be this selfish. You hid my— our kid from me, from his own father!" He yelled in a low voice, not wanting Hyojun to hear.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry,"

"I'm sorry? Are you serious? Why didn't you tell me? Why did I have to found out about it like this, huh?" His grip on my arm tighten and flashes about the past hunts me, making me fall on my knees.

"P-please, don't h-hurt me" I sobbed, I heard his sigh loudly, and knelt in front of me.

"Ji—" I moved back as he was about to touch my face.

"I'm not going to hurt you" I looked up to him as he said that. "Y-you don't?" He nodded and cupped my face.

He bring me up on my feet and hugged me. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I just realized the reason you did it. I know," he back up and looked at me in the eyes. "But I've changed now, I'm sorry, I was just pissed" he said. There was silence in the room.

"D-do you, really? I-I'm sorry I- I don't know if I can trust you" I averted my eyes from him.

"This once, just this once, let me prove it to you and father, that I'm a better man, please" he frowned holding both of hands in his big hands.

After moments of debating with my mind, I finally nodded. Junhoe smile instantly, and hug me tight.

"Mommy? Uncle?" Our hug broke as Hyojun voice called us.

"Hey, baby. What is it?" I asked as I walk up to him.

"Why you hug uncle?" He asked with his innocent eyes.

My throats felt dry, I'm not sure wether to tell him now or not. I looked back to Junhoe who's walking towards us and knelt down beside me.

"Because appa loves mommy" Junhoe smile at him. It was a different smile, he's happy and proud.

"Appa?" Hyojun called him, it makes my heart race as he called him. Is this what it's like to be a family?

"Yes," Junhoe hold both of Hyojun's shoulders "from now on, I am your appa" he said.

"What about Mino appa?" Hyojun tilted his head as he was thinking.

"Umm... Mino appa is your second, I am you one and only, arrachi?" Junhoe raised his eyebrows in assurance. Hyojun nodded and smiled. I smiled at the scene in front of me, I felt happy that Hyojun finally knows his real father.... but father, I totally didn't think about the promise, I swallowed hard as I remember the promise I made, I've broken it, father's going to be disappointed at me, no, my whole family are.

It is now 7:00 pm and Hyojun has fallen asleep in my room, in the middle, Junhoe's on the right side and I'm on the left. Junhoe and I locked our gaze, I crawled out of the bed to my office room which just next to my bedroom. I heard shuffling and felt Junhoe's presence behind me.

"What the matter?" He asked,

"Father, I promised not to have you—"

"Please," he sigh as his both of his hands in either of my face. "Don't say it again, let me prove it to you, father damn, even your whole family. I'm changed Jihyo, I don't know how much should I tell you, I really am. I regret every my wrong doings" he said while looking straight through my eyes, I nodded in a agreement, I just hoped he won't waste this chance.

I nodded, "Okay" I let out a big sigh.

"You should go, my cousin will be home—" my words cut off by my phone ring, I looked at the screen written Soeun is calling me.

"Yes?" Junhoe let go of me while I walk over to my roller chair.

"I won't be home today," she said. Why wouldn't she come home? Did she have a boyfriend already?

"Why?" I asked,

"Sleepover at Hyesun's house, since tomorrow is a day off, we're going to date" she said. Hyesun is one of my employees, she worked for 2 years already, she is nice and the virus in the restaurant.

"Alright, see you tomorrow then?" I said,

I cut the line after bid my goodbye to her.

"So, can I stay?" Junhoe said who's right next to me and has been listening to my conversation with Soeun.

"You don't have a spare of clothes" I told him.

"Don't worry, I can go back home before going to class and it's not like I sleep with full clothes on, didn't I?" He smirks, I smiled at him and approved him to stay for the night before continuing my paperwork.

"That's cool" he said,

"What is?" I asked, my eyes still glued at the papers.

"You're the owner of one of the famous beef restaurant in town and I assume, you are also the youngest, I didn't picture you to be an entrepreneur at such a young age" he said.

"I'll take that as a compliment" I tipped him a smile. It has been along time since I have his companion and it felt great to have him cback, but I will not let my guard down, I still need to be careful of him.

I was just in a good mood yesterday and my little sister has to  just ruined it, she broke my earphones, she pulled the left earpiece and it its not in one piece anymore😭😭😭😭😭
