"Soobin.. papa needs to go to the office. I can't stay here."

"But papa said Soobin will go to the park." Soobin cried even more harder.

"Baby, papa said on Saturday. It's only Friday baby." Oh gosh! This has been our daily crying session whenever I'm about to go to the office.

"Soobin wants papa stay!!!" He screamed then he rolled over to the floor and started to kick on the air.

"How about a firetruck later Soobinie?" I bribed. I hate bribing but I cannot be absent for work today.

Soobin instantly stopped crying and sat down on the floor. "Firetruck papa?"

I nod. "Yes Binnie baby. You like that?"

Soobin's head moves up and down frantically. He stood up and hug me on my leg. "Soobin wants firetruck papa."

I kneeled and wiped his tears. "Binnie, papa needs to go to office so I can buy you toys, so you can go to parks, to buy you banana milk and burger. You understand?"

"Yes papa. Sorry for crying."

"It's okay baby. Papa can go now?" I asked. I really do feel I'm staring at Taehyung's eyes whenever I stared at Soobin's. The mole on the tip of his nose also reminds me of his father. How can my baby boy looks exactly like the person i want to forget? Seems like fate don't want me to forget that one person.

"Yes papa. Firetruck. And burger papa." Even the burger, he got it from his father.

Looks like my four year old will remind me of everything about his father.

My phone keeps on vibrating inside my pocket. "Eomma, I need to go now. Namjoon is outside waiting for me."

I run and saw Namjoon's car parked outside our gate. Once i'm inside. "Soobin still can't grasp the fact that you're working now." Namjoon laughed.

"Oh gosh! Yes. After two years he's still not getting used to it." I said as I buckle on my seatbelt.

I am working in an advertisement firm. I am supposed to be in the treasury department but the owner said, their company can use my visuals to work closely with the different big companies in Korea. My looks is too good to be confined in the office. So they made me as their representative in presenting the contracts to the company and working with those companies closely for their advertising needs. And my salary is just over the top.

I already worked with Namjoon's company few months ago and they sent me to Japan with the marketing team. I usually work with the company's marketing department for a month. And today will be my last day working in a hotel company. I will have another client probably next week.

"Joon, I will go to the toy store in Lotte after work. Soobin wants a firetruck and a burger." I said as i keep looking on my wrist watch.

"I'll see you in Lotte then?"

I nod.

After four years of being a single father to my Soobin, I and Namjoon remained best friends. Namjoon did not try again. But we tried to be in a relationship but it didn't work. I must admit that it was my fault because until now, I am still in love with the memories of Taehyung.

I've been into dating but nothing can ever compare to Taehyung. I don't know but i always compare him to all the males i meet. It seems like I always love the cold and arrogant but very sweet and loving from the inside father of my child. Unlike those who are so sweet that I didn't know if that's their true self.

One thing that I am very aware of, I can never move on from his memories. Taehyung will be forever part of my life. I tried so hard to forget him but my child will always be the reminder of him. If you will look at Soobin, you can already tell who the father is. No more second thoughts. No doubts about it. Soobin is Taehyung's mini me.

I went to my boss's office right away to get my next month schedule. This is the hardest part of my job, I am always in the field working with different companies. Sometimes, even out of the country especially if the company is in the Top 10 biggest in Korea. As they needed to be advertised worldwide.

"KTH boss?" I almost dropped the paper that I am holding when I saw my next month's schedule. Oh, four months?

"Jin, you have turned me down twice for that company and I cannot let you refused me this time. All the representatives I sent there were given a failing grade by KTH. Seems like their Marketing Head is a perfectionist. So I think you will be my last ace. All the marketing heads you've worked with only have praises for you so i will entrust the number one company in South Korea to you."

I sighed. I think I cannot escape KTH after all. Well, at least, I will not be working with Jungkook. That would be fine. And I think this weekend calls for a me time with Jimin.

"Jimin! We need to meet tomorrow. Maybe you can come with me and Soobin at the park?" I said as i head on to Lotte to buy a burger and a firetruck toy for my Binnie.

"Sure! Well, as long as you will treat me for a.."

"Yes Chim. Food is your weakness. I will treat you for lunch or even dinner." I smiled as I ride an escalator on my way to the toy store.

"Looks like you have something important to tell me?"

"Very. Okay, i'll go now. Bye bye!" I dropped the call as I went inside the toy store.

"Hi! Where are the firetrucks?" I asked a staff.

"Isle 17 sir." He said.

"Thanks!" I went to the isle and too many toys to choose from. I am pretty sure Soobin will be very excited once he saw all of this.

I leaned down when i saw the best choice for my Binnie. When I finally stood up. The toy fell from my hand immediately.

I think my heart is already in my throat and my head wants to explode.

This can't be.

How can this be?

After four long years. I thought I will not see him again. Still very handsome in a beret and round glasses. Just standing in front of me with the toy rack separating us.

Maybe he noticed that I am staring at him for a long while now. He smiled.

"T-Tae-hyung?"
