Seokjin

"You can come with him if you want to. You know Jinnie, I love that kid. I think he has good intentions for you. I know the baby is not his, but I can feel his sincerity. Don't be afraid. You deserve to be happy too." Appa said as I prepare our table for dinner. I discussed with him about Taehyung's offer to return in Seoul but I told him my doubts and hesitations.

I doubt about his real intentions. It's not that I don't trust him but thinking about my situation right now, and how he handled and accepted me so easily, it feels like surreal. It feels like a dream. And how many men will do that?

Appa has an answer. It must be a true love for a man to accept me for who I am - may it be my past, my present, and the future.

I have so many hesitations. His parents most especially his father. No matter how many times he assured me of his parents being so accepting, it still leaves me the fears of them seeing me as someone taking advantage of their son's love, kindness, and position.

Although I know myself well enough, maybe my fears are most likely the insecurities that I don't belong to them. That I deserve less. That I don't deserve to be happy and that I am destined to live on my own with my son. I condition myself in those thinking that I am so hesitant to fall in love again. Because I always think that I don't deserve better. I don't deserve to be loved. I am not deserving of the good things in life. Because I am a whore. I am poor. And people in his circle will only see me as a gold digger.

I am also hesitant because Seoul means near Jungkook's mom. I am at peace here in Busan. I don't want another problem to arise and Mr. Jeon's mom will be calling me names again.

"Are you expecting someone?" Appa asked as we heard a knock from the door.

I shake my head as I walk towards the front door. "No. Maybe one of your friends." No one else will visit me apart from Taehyung but he's at work right now. I don't have friends here in Busan.

A hand landed on my face as soon as I opened the door. I felt the corner of my lips tore. I yelped in shock as I hold on to the spot where she hit me. It is warm and a little numb due to hard contact.

"I told you to leave my son alone." Mrs. Jeon standing in front of me with two bulgy bodyguards standing on either side of her.

Her presence almost makes my tongue curl back up. "I... I'm. I'm not doing anything, Mrs. Jeon."

She laughs evilly and I heard my appa calling my name from the dining room. I look at Mrs. Jeon who is now staring at my bump.

"Now I know why you're calling my son." He looks at my stomach then back to my eyes in disdain. "You want him to father a child that's not his. How thick a whore can get? You want that baby to have what my son have? What a gold digger you really are."

I hold on to my stomach as I swallow the words she just uttered. I am expecting that she will say that once she learned of my pregnancy. I cannot say anything but cry. Cry that she's belittling me again.

She steps forward causing me to step back. "How rude that you will not even ask me to come in."

She walks past me, pushing me to the side that caused my feet to cross and trip. I thought my heart will fall in horror as I tried to find something to hold on to. Fortunately, my appa catches me before I fall to the floor.

My father looks at Mrs. Jeon. He knows how powerful she is and he knows how she treated me before. "You can leave now." My appa said in a very firm tone.

Mrs. Jeon rubs her nose and spray some alcohol on her hands. "Stinky house. Smells like an aquarium. Of course, I will leave. I cannot stand this dirty aquarium. Smells like fish."

"Leave now before I choke you." I hold on to my father. His eyes are glaring and I know he's not kidding.

"What do I expect from a criminal like you?" Mrs. Jeon smirked and looked back at me. "You stop calling my son. He asked me to go here and tell to you personally to leave him alone as he is about to get married. See? He doesn't want to see you or even talk to you. Now, don't you dare tell me or him that that child is from him because I am sure a whore like you don't even know who the real father is? Am I right?"

My father walks forward but I pull him back. "Mrs. Jeon please leave now. I won't call again. Just please leave."

"I'm happy that my son did not choose you." She raised an eyebrow before walking out of the door.

Jungkook

"Finally!" Namjoon barged inside my office causing my step-brother to startle in surprise.

"You can knock, Joon." I sigh.

Taehyung smiled at my mockery at Namjoon.

"Jungkook, I found the location of the booth. It's in Busan." Namjoon exclaimed as he handed me a piece of paper. "Listen Jungkook, now that you know that Ken is in Busan, we can now investigate his exact location and my men are working for that."

I breathe out and smile. I think think this is my most genuine smile after months of looking gloomy and down. Finally, my hopes of having Ken back is getting near and I can almost touch it with my hands.

"You finally found him." Taehyung smiled at me widely. In fairness to my step-brother, he keeps on asking for updates about Ken. "I'm always in Busan every weekend. I'm visiting my pregnant boyfriend."

I looked at Taehyung in surprise. Does he have a boyfriend? And pregnant? "Is this the same person you were looking for before?"

Taehyung nods. I forgot the name he said but he didn't mention that the guy is his boyfriend. "He's going on six months. What's the name of the guy you're looking for? Maybe I can ask him if he knows?"

But before I can even give the name, his phone rings. He rushes to answer, probably it's his boyfriend.

"Hi, baby!" He smiled as he answers the phone but those smiles washed away immediately and his face looks worried.

"What happened? Why are you crying?" He looks anxious as he stands up and walks towards the window. He is pacing back and forth as he listens intently on the phone. It seems like his boyfriend has a problem and needs immediate attention. Namjoon and I just listen to him.

"Okay. I'll be there tomorrow. Prepare your things and I will fetch you. Don't worry okay? Don't think about what she said. It's not true. Please, stop crying?" He listens again and smiles. "I love you. Wait for me tomorrow. I will bring you here to Seoul."

After he hangs the call, I smile as I know what he's about to say. "Yes Tae, you can go on leave tomorrow."

"I'm sorry Hyung but it's an emergency. I promise to finish everything tonight." He gets the documents on my table before going out of my office.

"He's good," I said to Namjoon. Taehyung's performance is impressive and my father is right to make him as a Vice-Chairman of the company.

Namjoon is busy on his phone. "Paper." He said and I gave him a piece of paper and he pulled out a pen from his pocket. He wrote something and handed the paper to me. "My detective found the house. It's near Busan Port. Here's the exact address."

I smiled. I closed my eyes. Finally, I found you, Ken.

"But his name is not Ken."

My forehead creased. "What do you mean?"

"His real name is Kim Seokjin."
