==================================================================

[YURI'S POV]

I was still shocked — about Dara, about her son... about everything.

"Yuri‑ah... I'll tell you everything later, okay? For now, let's wait for Donghae," Dara said softly, smiling at me while holding the little boy's hand. I looked at the cute little guy beside her and studied his features. He looked like a tiny, boy-version of Dara... and a bit like...

No. No. Stop it, Yuri. You're just overwhelmed. Don't think too much.

When Donghae arrived, he helped Auntie and Uncle carry their luggage to the car. I noticed how naturally he held the little boy's stuff, and how Jino — the little man — clung to him. They were so close... so comfortable... that if you didn't know any better, you'd think they were father and son.

"Yuri‑ah, let's go," Dara said, gently tugging my hand.

I followed her, but inside I was a mess. Confused. Curious. And desperately needing a full explanation about what was happening.

[DARA'S POV]

I looked at the young man sleeping on my lap. My baby. My son. I gently caressed his cheek, feeling the warmth of him — the peace I haven't felt in years.

"Dara, I'll take him to his room now. You should talk to Yuri and tell her everything," Donghae said with a reassuring smile. I nodded. He carefully lifted Jino into his arms and carried him upstairs.

I walked toward the garden where Yuri was sitting alone. She looked lost in thought.

"Hey..." I greeted softly.

She looked up and gave me a small smile.

"Mind if I join you?" I asked. She nodded silently.

"Dara... I know you don't owe me any explanation, but..." she said, hesitating. I gently held her hand.

"It's okay, Yuri. You can ask me anything. I'll answer everything," I said. She looked at me, eyes full of questions.

"About... Jino... how... who..." She couldn't get the words out. I understood. This topic is sensitive.

"Yuri, listen," I said, breathing in deeply. "I'll tell you what happened. And maybe everything in your mind will become clear."

[FLASHBACK]

Dara was a wreck — the same wasted, broken woman she had been since that call. Jiyong ended everything. He shattered her heart.

She still couldn't accept that her first love, the man she dreamed of spending forever with, had changed his mind so easily. He turned his back and ended everything they planned.

"Dara, please... stop this," Yuri begged, holding her shaking friend. She had been there for her nonstop — letting Dara cry on her shoulder, never judging her.

"Yu~ it hurts... please... tell him to come back to me... please... I'm begging you..." Dara sobbed, clinging to her.

"Dara..." Yuri whispered helplessly. She didn't even know how to contact that jerk anymore — he had changed his number.

"Yuri, please..." Dara cried again. Yuri felt completely lost. Dara had been like this for over two weeks — crying endlessly, begging for even a chance to talk to Jiyong.
