Tae's POV:-
"What's the meaning of this Mr. Kim? Did you........" I don't know if there were tears in her eyes but I'm sure that she looked sad. "Lie to me?" Her breathe hitched and I sighed.

I don't know why is it bothering her--No--Oh wait, she likes me.

Great.

Yes, I'm being sarcastic about this.

"Miss Jennie, let's talk," I said and lightly tapped her shoulder comforting her.

Just because of my anger issues or personal reasons, I have no right to be rude to her.

She did so much for Taewon that it's already alot for me. She walked with me to a distant corner from Hana and Taewon who were probably having mother-son time.

"Now please explain, Tae?" She asked and this time she pronounced my name.

Not joining the 'Mr' to me.

"Jennie it's not what you think it is," I said and she crossed her arms under her chest looking at me with a questioning look.

I have to explain everything otherwise I'll be caught in a lie.

"This is the woman who gave Taewon a sweet and was really sweet towards him when no one in my office communicated with him and he got bored. Especially after Peyton, no one in my office talked with Taewon. She was the first to initiate communication with Taewon and so he calls her, his mother," I internally appreciated myself for coming up with a strong excuse.

"Oh.........but I'm also sweet towards him during and after or even the beginning of the class," she sighed while looking down and I remained quiet because I exactly knew what she was referring to.

"Hey," I placed my hands onto her shoulders.

"I'm thankful to you. And don't think that I'm lying. Alright?" I smiled to her while looking into her eyes and she blushed heavily.

Aish, I have to act so romantically nice towards her so that she doesn't remain in a doubt that I'm a liar.

"Appa?" Taewon tugged at my coat and I removed my hands from her shoulders. "Come with me and mommy." He pouted and I peeked at Jennie who was really annoyed in the moment.

She rolled her eyes turning her face to the side and I know I don't like her but.......I don't know why my heart felt sad for her.

I respect her feelings and I appreciate the fact that she's always looking after Taewon when his own mother is seducing guys in my office.

"Why don't me and......" I grabbed her hand in mine. "Miss Jennie join you two?" I smiled to him and Jennie tensed up under my touch.

"Okay," he clapped. "But..." he separated Jennie's hand from mine holding onto it with his little hand.

"You hold mommy's hand," he smiled pointing his finger to his mother who was standing there with her arm tugged under her chest and looking at her mobile.

I heard a sniff and I bit my lip as it was Jennie. God, I'm stuck with women and my son.

"Okay," I smiled to him and secretly while walking grabbed Jennie's hand as well in my right one as Taewon was pulling onto my left one.

She looked at me sadly and her nose was tinted red.

I winked at her and then walked to Hana whose arms slowly dropped down to her sides as she got nervous.

"Mommy you and Appa hold hands like you always did," he smiled to her holding her hand and then placing it into mine.

I heard Jennie's breath caught in her throat and she pulled her hand out of mine. I looked at her and she was teary.
