Sandara can't wait any longer. After she take a bath with Nara and took Nara in her bedroom, Dara walked towards the kitchen to call her best friend.

"Darong !! Can I help you?" Bom asked in a playful tone.

"Nara can't play with you, tomorrow" Dara said with a serious tone.

"Did something happen?" Bom asked, worriedly.

Dara shook her head before saying, "No, she's fine. But I'm worried that if she is still playing with you, her brain will no longer innocent" Dara said who was replied with Bom's laughter.

"YA! What does that mean? Don't tell me because I show or taught her to be a real girl " Bom said after her laughter died.

"God! Park Bom can you even hear yourself? She just five, Bom. Stop ruining her brain with adult content. I don't want her innocent to he ruined" she pleaded. She was tired to argue with her best friend Park Bom.

"Sandara listen to me, I really care about you. So does with Nara. I considere her to be my own child. And I want to introduce the little girl to the world as soon as possible, I don't want her take a wrong way like us. She need to choose the right man. Girls don't seem to be treated like what men do to us Dara" Dara sighed softly.

"Bom, listen, not all men are the same. You just haven't found the right man. And do you think my little girl will soon have a boyfriend at her current age? She is just five years old. Do you think I will let my little girl date at such a young age?" Dara asked babbling.

"What happened to me and you, won't happen to Nara, did you hear that? There is only one Siwon and Donghae in this world. And Nara won't be like us. You may give her advice when she is 17 years old. And leave her innocence for now. Do you hear that? "Sandara asked in a firm tone.

"Okay, I'm sorry Dara, I just love Nara and ... yeah you know. Siwon's departure really made me hate man" Bom said in a tired voice.

"I know, you think after Donghae left me, I didn't hate man? I even hate my own brother, Park"Dara said with a chuckle at the end.

"Once again forgive me Dara" Bom said that was answered by Sandara's murmur. "Where is Nara?" Bom asked.

"I make her fall asleep before called you. However this is an adult conversation. She is too young to hear our conversation" Dara said, "And stop watching lame dramas. You are too old for drama Bom. Watch more quality show like news, for example" Dara said

"Oh Park, news is too boring for my boring life. I don't want to be an ahjumma like you, I'm to sexy to be an ahjumma" Bom said proudly.

"Remember your age, Park. You think how old are you, huh?" Dara asked. "You will step your 30 age next month" Dara said matterly of fact. And Bom just rolled her eyes lazily.

"I'm still too beautiful and sexy for 30, Park" she said.

"Up to you," Dara said ending their brief debate. She need rest to start the new day early tomorrow, "I will go to bed" Dara said.

"Um... bring Nara to my place tomorrow. I have an afternoon schedule so I can take care of her until you come back" Bom said

"Okay, but promise me to not teach her to be an adult girl anymore," Dara said

"I promise ahjumma" Bom said in a mocking tone.

"Good. And watch your words when my daughter around you. She is a smart girl and soo fuckin' innocent." Dara said.

"Yeah, I hear you. Go to sleep. Good night"

Dara hanged up after she replied greetings from Bom. She sighed before going to her room to sleep beside Nara. The girl looks like a baby while sleeping. So innocent and adorable. She give the little girl a peck on her forehead before Sandara fell asleep beside her.

Jiyong returns to his home after he asks Mr. Lee to schedule the meetings for all directors tomorrow afternoon. He will discuss this with all directors and ask for their opinions. And talk about a party for his return to the company and a farewell party for Mr. Lee.

"Jiyong" he turned around and meet his mom's gaze. "You are home?" the woman asked who was answered only with a nod of his head. "I though you will return to your old home" the woman said.

Jiyong shook his head before walking to follow his mother, "JinAh's shadow is still there. I don't want to continue to imagine it. And maybe if I'm here, the shadow will disappear because of you and appa" he said, hugging his mother from behind.

"Is there something bothered you?" the 50-year-old woman asked as she cupped the side of her son's face, "How was your first day at the office after 5 years gone?" she continued.

Jiyong let go of his hug making the woman in front of him turn around, "I met a little girl and I remember my daughter" he said, he knew this was ridiculous but he could not help it. "She is around five years old and she is very good at talking" Jiyong continued.

Mrs. Kwon smiled at the statement of her only child, she felt it's normal if her only son missed his child who not even been born. "Do you think about your child when she is born?" Hyeji asked.

Jiyong nodded his head, "You really need a relationship right away. And you have to attend Mrs. Lee's wedding party the day after tomorrow. Meet Hara and start a good relationship with her" the woman said, "You need to let go of everything. Open your heart and see women around you. Hara is a good girl. And I like her for you" she said patting his cheek before going to her room.

Jiyong looked at the empty space in front of him, "Kiko is a good woman too, but what do I do? I threw her away even what she did just love me" he said before rubbing his face roughly. This really frustrates him.

Jiyong go to his room after drinking water from the refrigerator. He went to the bathroom to clean his body before wearing long pants and a white shirt and went to bed. At least that was what he wanted, but his tired eyes did not grant his brain wish who wanted to dream immediately.

His eyelids are still wide open. Looking at the ceiling of the room with the brain which forced hard to recall the sentence of a little child who accompanied him at lunch. A little girl who made him fall in love and re-imagined what if she was his daughter with Jinah.

"You will be an extraordinary father, Mr. Kwon "

"I hope you were right, Nara-ya" he murmured, then glanced at his side. Staring at the picture frame of him and his late wife. The photo is still stored on the bedside table beside him.

"I hope you are happy there, baby," he murmured, "I miss you and our princess," he continued with a tightly squeezed in his chest. "Can you let me go? Let me go with another woman" he said, staring at the beautiful face of his wife who smiled at the camera.

"Tell me if Hara is a woman for me" he murmured. His voice even sounded like a breeze that was only heard by his own ears.

"I miss you baby" he muttered in his memory.
