CHAPTER 25 : Unexpected Guest.

MAID : But these are different. He would send white roses everytime. What changed his mind today?

Ji Hae whipped her gaze at the bouquet. She instantly forwarded her hand to take it from the maid, asking her to leave. The flowers were indeed different.

White daisies.

The fresh and faint scent of those enchanting little delicate petals and pastel hues filled her senses.

And as she carefully and lightly embraced those, she landed her hands on a hidden note.

It read, "Throw them away, if you don't like the flowers. I just picked any."

It was unbelievable to her. The uncanny feel that this was really from Taehyung, was too surreal to believe.

The rush of dopamine plasted a huge smile of excitement and gay over her face regardless. Casting aside all the possibilities that it's not from Taehyung, she wanted to live the happiness of it actually being from him.

Ji hae frolicked inside her room and in minutes, arranged a beautiful vase. Pouring down some water in it, she took her time to separate each stem and stand them into the vase. She was smiling all the way. From adding the plant preservatives to trimming the edge of the stems— all the essentials to keep those alive.

However, soon as she was spraying some water to the flowers, her smile slowly started to fade away. Hand resting the sprayer aside the vase, Ji Hae's gay completely vamooshed from her face.

JI HAE : Why is everyone treating me good now? Or did I just have my expectations too high to realize any of it before?

Choosing the path of wicked, all things positive turned doubtful and negative in her mind.

In the evening, Ji Hae decided to prepare the main dish for the dinner, so that she could take her attention off to somewhere else.

And while she was onto setting it on the table, Ji Hae felt distracted by Taehyung's sudden arrival. He was back after the long week at the dorms.

Everyone else were gathering around for dinner, while Jae Hyung who was walked down by his nanny, ran to his father. Taehyung, with his best smiles and excitement, lifted the little boy in his embrace.

TH : Aww... you missed Appa?

JAE HYUNG : (-frowns-) Why didn't you visit us at all?

TH : I am sorry, I couldn't come home this week. That is why, I am going to stay for two days this time.

As if a big deal, Jaehyung's sulk seemed to vanish from his features, as he lit up with a thought. The thought that, he would be spending a little extra hour with his dad unlike other times.

Ji Hae, used to his ignorance, was casually carrying out the work she was at. And while Taehyung sat his son on the younger's chair, Mrs.Kim asked him to freshen up for dinner.

And within a short time, the entire Kim family was peacefully dined together at the table, after a long while.

Mrs.Kim, in all attempts to improve her son's marriage, forwarded the main dish towards him.

Mrs.KIM : Have a taste. Ji Hae made it.

Quite to Ji hae's surprise, Taehyung didn't show any resistance towards the food she has prepared. And calmly had it.

Her eyes accustomed to it, went to Mr.Kim. He, who was surprised at his son's flexible attitude as well, smiled to her with a nod of assurance following.
