Part Two:

Xian made sure that Minseo and Luhan will never find out the truth as they even moved into a new house a week after Minseo and Luhan returned from the hospital. He never heard of Song Ji Hyo again after they left the hospital which made Xian relieved. To make sure that the secret will never be revealed, he donated a large sum of money to the hospital. His wife questioned him about it, but he said that the donation is just a simple 'thank you gift' for taking care of Minseo and the baby.

In the beginning, he feels slightly guilty whenever he sees his wife with the baby, but as times goes by, he tried to forget it by making himself believe that Luhan is their baby. As Luhan grows up, he never really been outside except when they have to attend important occasions. Xian insisted that he will be home-schooled to avoid any problem. At first, Minseo disagreed but she decided that it was the best for Luhan to stay at home and never come outside.

Xian planned Luhan to be homeschooled until high school but a serious problem has occurred. A family friend of them, the Nam Family caused a huge problem that shaken not only Xian and Minseo but all their family friends in their clan. Due to worry that something may happen to their son, the couple decided to let Luhan live into a new house together with their friends' children. At first, it was a hard decision for the couple especially for Xian because he is worried that Ji Hyo may appear suddenly but he reassures himself that it will never happen.

"Dad, can I ask you a question?"

Xian looks up and sees an 11-year-old Luhan holding a robot toy. He closes the book that he was reading and made a gestured with his hand for Luhan to sit on a chair beside him.

"What is it?"

"Is it true that I will live into a new house?"

"Yes. You will live with your new friends"

"New Friends? Yes! I can now have friends!"

Xian watches Luhan as he jumps happily.

"Nothing bad will happen, right?" Xian pondered.

Luhan's POV:

With grocery bags in my hands, I walk towards the house but halted when I saw a woman standing in front of our house. I was about to approach and ask her when she puts something into the mailbox. I immediately hid when I saw her walks away. I waited for a few minutes before deciding to walk back home.

I opened the mailbox and saw a folder. I opened it and sees a document with a picture of a woman. I read the document and found out that it's an information about the lady in the picture.

Name: Sandara Park

Why did that woman put this folder here? I better ask the boys about this.

I turned to my side to enter the house when I saw the woman standing beside me. I accidentally step back due to shock.

"W-Who are you?"

"You saw me earlier didn't you?"

"H-how did you know?"

Instead of an answer, she gave me a smile.

"You grew up very well."

"Do you know me?" I asked confusingly.

"The woman in the picture is your new housemate. She will arrive tomorrow." The woman said and was about to leave when I walks in front of her.

"Wait. Who are you?" I asked, but the woman looks away then walks past me. I look at her before entering the house.

"What took you so long?" Baekhyun whined as he approaches me. He then noticed the folder on my hand.
