"Good morning!", Sooji greets Shian and her parents. They are gathering for breakfast.

"Mom!", Shian gets up and runs to his mom excitedly. He hugs his mom like they haven't seen each other for a week.

"Hi...", Shihyun enters the dining room, following Sooji.

Shian looks up. "Dad?", he looks confused.

"Don't you want to give me a hug?", Shihyun opens his arms. Expecting Shian to run to him.

"What are you doing here?", Shian frowns.

"Why? Don't you want me to be here?", Shihyun asks softly.

"No...it's just...", Shian looks away and mumbles really slowly. "I thought you won't come back..."

Shihyun's heart sinks hearing those words from Shian. He hurriedly kneels down and pulls Shian into a hug. "I am sorry if what I did make you think like that...I won't go anywhere...", he whispers in Shian's ear. "Unless it's with you and your mom..."

Shian looks at Shihyun doubtfully,
"Promise?", he raises his pinky finger.

"Promise!", Shihyun links his pinky finger with Shian's.

"What are you two promise about?", Sooji looks at her boys suspiciously.

"It's a secret...", Shihyun smirks.

Sooji just rolls her eyes seeing Shihyun and Shian's antics. "Shian...finish your breakfast...", she orders.

"Yes Mom!", Shian grins and backs to his seat.

"Why don't you two join us too...", Sooji's mom invites Sooji and Shihyun.

"Of course mom...why did you think I came here this early...", Sooji jokes. Shihyun pulls the seat for Sooji. "Thank you...", Sooji smiles at Shihyun.

"It seems you two solved your problem already...", Sooji's mom smiles. She's glad seeing them seems happy, because yesterday when she went to Sooji's apartment, her daughter looked so depressed. Sooji hasn't told her the full story, but she knew it must have something to do with Shihyun. Her daughter's greatest weakness.

"Kinda...", Sooji isn't really sure if her problem with Shihyun was solved already. But at least, they are okay for now. And that's enough.

"Seriously...why are you two here so early?", her mom asks again.

"We want to drive Shian to school..."

"Yess!!", Shian exclaims happily.

"We can drive him there...", Sooji's dad offers.

"But I want to go to school with Mom and Dad...", Shian pouts.

"Of course you are...", Shihyun chuckles and messes up Shian's hair.

"Dad!!"

============

Shihyun throws himself on his bed. He just arrived at his apartment after driving Shian and Sooji. He's happy seeing Sooji and Shian smiles but he's physically tired. He falls asleep as soon as his head touches the pillow.

Shihyun feels like he just closed his eyes for five minutes before his apartment's bell-ringing annoyedly. He glances at the clock. Apparently, he already slept for hours.

The bell rings again. Remind him that the uninvited guest is still waiting outside. Damn it. He doesn't remember expecting any guests. He told his secretary to cancel any meeting for today. Who the hell rings his bell without invitation. He forces himself to get up and open the door.
