Kim Ji Won's POV

Snow was falling hard on Christmas Eve in New York and it brings back a lot of memories. I have decided to stay for another year here and try to heal whatever pain I was feeling last year. Having to go through all those things was very hard especially when you're at an age where you still want to enjoy life.

I slowly got up from my bed so that I wouldn't wake my child up from his slumber. Yes, I decided to keep my child and I named him Min Jae. The moment I saw him; I knew I wasn't ready to let go. Although he resembles the person I want to forget, I just think he's one of the best thing to ever happen in my life.

He just turned 1 last week and he could clearly utter the word "eomma" which flutters my heart every time he says it. I can also say he is my parent's joy. Ï am glad I have my parents to support me in whatever decisions I make.

"Ji Won, I thought you were going to go Christmas shopping?" My mother interrupted me from my thoughts.

"Eomma, you scared me." I gasped. "But yes, I do have to go Christmas shopping, will you take care of Min Jae for me for a while?" I smiled at her.

"Öfcourse, honey. Go!" she smiled assuredly.

It was freezing cold in the busy streets of New York and I suddenly regret not buying the things I need a week before Christmas, now I have to deal with all these people. I looked through every boutique for the perfect gift I want to give to my parents. I was too focused on looking for a present when I suddenly heard my name being mentioned by a group of Asian girls behind me.

"Ïsn't that Kim Ji Won?"

"Maybe it's just a look a-like"

"It can't be her, I read one article that says she could be dead."

"Possibly, some Koreans look the same."

What do you mean I could be dead? Have they released articles about me being dead? I mean it's been a year since I have stopped going through the internet since I have been very focused with my child... and also because I have to avoid any news that has to do with Park Seo Joon which is very impossible because he has gained so much attention even on international television, so that's probably why people had made up news about my death, and oh, my manager had stopped contacting me months ago too.

I pulled my beanie down in hopes no one would recognize me and kept walking until I reached a small café which only has a few people in it. I decided to get in and grab a cup of coffee when I suddenly bumped into a guy and all my bags fell on the ground.

"Oh my God, I am so sorry." He apologized and helped me pick up my things.

"Here- wait, Ji Won?" I then quickly put my head down. Not again, who could this person be and why does he know me?

"Ji Won? Is that really you?" he asked as he slowly lift my chin and I swiftly turned around and walked away.

Who could that person be? I wasn't able to get a glimpse of him because of how fast I turned around. I heard footsteps following me so I quickened my pace until someone grabbed my arms.

"Aren't you going to take your bags with you?" he whispered behind me. I can actually feel his hot breath on my ears.

"Who are you?" I asked still not looking at him.

"How are you supposed to know if you don't turn around?" he cockily stated.

"Leave my bags on the ground and go. I won't call the cops on you." I answered firmly.

"Okay, okay." He laughed and I heard footsteps slowly going away.

"Okay, thank you." I sighed exasperatedly.

Can this day get any worse?

I turned around to take my bags and I suddenly stopped in my tracks, he was still there standing beside my bags. It felt like my feet was glued on the ground, I couldn't a move a bone in my body.

 
"Finally." He smiled cheekily and walked towards me and hugged me really tight which caught me off guard...
