"Mammam mammam? Milk?"

"Mammam~"

Naeun smiled and reached out her hand. "Let's go to the kitchen~"

Jayden held her pinky finger with his tiny hand and followed her to the kitchen.

"Uh up!" Jayden raised his arms, wanting to be carried.

Naeun pursed her lips. This is gonna be tough. She then carried Jayden in one arm and began to make milk for him with her free hand. At this rate, I'm going to gain some muscles.

She then walked to the living room and laid Jayden on her lap before passing the bottle to the boy. Jayden held on to the bottle by himself and drank while Naeun fondly stroked his soft hair.

At that moment, the sound of gate opening could be heard. Are they back? This early?

The front door was then opened, revealing Jacob in his full suit. Dayum, he's looking hella fine.

"Hello." Naeun bowed her head as Jayden was still on her lap.

Jacob smiled. "Heya, I bought food. Let's eat together after he has finished drinking." He then pointed at the kitchen and Naeun could only nod her head.

Jacob had offsite meetings with clients and that was the reason why he reached home early since the place was nearby and the meeting ended earlier than expected.

Naeun on the other hand was definitely stunned by his outfit to reject his offer since she had not seen him in full suit before, especially with that blazer on. She cleared her throat and diverted her gaze back at Jayden who was finishing up his milk. Your mummy is so lucky.

She then looked at the clock which stated 5 in the late afternoon. He's back early. And it would be weird if I reject. She pursed her lips and looked back at Jayden.

"Done?"

Jayden then handed over the bottle to Naeun. "Dda dda!" He pointed at the kitchen.

"Yes, your daddy is back. Let's find your daddy!" Naeun carried Jayden and put him on the floor.

With his tiny hand on her pinky finger, once again, Jayden ran to the kitchen with Naeun following his pace.

Jacob was setting the table with his blazer taken off when they entered the kitchen. "Ahh!" He immediately squatted down and embraced Jayden in his arms. "How are you my baby?" He tickled Jayden's tummy.

Jayden giggled and while then, Naeun took over in setting up the table with cutleries.

"Thank you." Jacob noticed her action despite interacting with his son. He took a seat, placing Jayden on his lap and motioned Naeun to sit as well.

"How's everything?" Jacob asked as part of his daily routine.

Naeun slowly nodded her head as she picked up her chopstick. "It's okay, Jayden has been a really good boy." She slightly chinned towards Jayden.

"Glad to hear that." Jacob returned a smile and suddenly Jayden squirmed his way, making Jacob put him down.

Jayden was then seen waddling to Naeun's side and raised his arms. Naeun laughed in embarrassed as she picked Jayden up, placing him on her lap.

"He's getting fond of you, that's cute." Jacob proudly smiled.

Naeun was embarrassed that she just patted Jayden's head instead. "Ah, has he ever gone out and played at the playground or with other kids?" She asked since she thought of bringing Jayden out for a walk but of course she needs approval first.

Jacob swallowed his food before answering. "Used to, when grandma was still taking care of him. But ever since we started on the rotation, he has been at home most of the time."

"Ahh..." Naeun nodded as she learned. "Then may I bring him out tomorrow?"

"Please do, he must have missed going out." Jacob pursed his lips with his eyes darted at Jayden who was tapping his tiny hands on the table.

Jacob genuinely felt bad for not giving his son much attention and was very much thankful to have Naeun as a babysitter who sincerely took care of Jayden.

"It's almost time, your boyfriend is probably waiting for you." Jacob said with his eyes on his wrist watch.

Naeun waved in denial, flustered at the sudden statement. "Oh no no, I don't have one." Wait, why would I say that as if I'm promoting to him that I'm single af?

"Ah, is that so? My bad." Jacob then stood up and reached out his arms.

Naeun handed the boy who fell asleep while the adults were talking to his dad.

"Thank you for today and have a safe trip." Jacob warmly smiled.

Naeun bowed in return. "Thank you." She returned her shy smile and quickly left before her blushing face could be exposed.

What's wrong with me??? Especially you??! She patted her chest as she walked to the bus stop. I must be crazy. He already has a family. She mentally slapped herself.

Just in time, her bus came. She sat at the backseat and puffed her cheeks. She then started using her phone for distraction. Did it work? Nope. Jacob in full suit came into her mind yet again whenever men in suits popped up as she scrolled her social media.

God damn it. She cursed and closed her eyes instead, putting her phone away back into her pocket.

"Noona!"

Naeun, who was about to enter the lift of her apartment, paused in her track as she held the button. "Oh?" She then bowed her head slightly. Since when did he start calling me noona?

Chanhee smiled in relief as he managed to catch up and board the same lift as her. Their apartment only has 1 lift and if he missed that lift, he has to wait for awhile.

"Thank you." Chanhee slightly bowed his head.

"Sunwoo isn't in dorm right?" She asked as she felt the awkwardness in the compact area.

Chanhee nodded. "Soccer training. I..." He paused on his words as he licked his lips. "I heard you're babysitting? Is it tough?"

Naeun rubbed her nape in embarrassment . "Well, I would be lying if I say no. But the kid is well behaved and easygoing so it's manageable."

"That's cool. Let me know if you ever need any help." Chanhee slipped off his words without realizing.

Naeun tilted her in confusion. Just then, they reached their floor and so they walked out of the lift. "You're good with kids?"

"Ah. Yeah. You can say so...?" Chanhee lied with his awkward smile.

Naeun bought his lie since she barely knew Chanhee anyways despite being neighbours for years. "Interesting."

Chanhee stifled an embarrassed laugh. "H-have a good night." He bowed and quickly entered his dorm.

Gosh that's so embarrassing!!! What's wrong with me??? Chanhee slapped his mouth multiple times and Sunwoo was there to witness everything.

"Aish YOU SCARED ME!" Chanhee shrieked. "Don't you have training!??"

Sunwoo stifled a laugh when he did nothing wrong. "Cancelled. Hyung, what's up?" He chinned up, curious in Chanhee's odd behaviour.

Chanhee clicked his tongue and walked away to his room. "None of your business."

Meanwhile, Naeun scrunched her nose in clueless. "It's only 7 though." She mumbled to herself as she unlocked her dorm.
