Y/N's POV

I was dwelling in my sadness when my phone rang. It was Sean's teacher, Miss Reyes, I weakly stood up and answered the call.

Y/N: Yes Teach?

Ms. Reyes: Mommy, why did you leave early? I reminded you that we'll be having a meeting so the kids will be dismissed early. You said yes, and I told you I'll give you my payment for the order. But you didn't come inside. So is it okay if I give it to you tomorrow?

I was confused about what his teacher was talking about, so I asked her.

Y/N: Teacher what are you talking about? I haven't picked up Sean yet.

The line fell silent.

Ms. Reyes: Mommy? You mean you Sean isn't with home yet?

As if cold water was poured over me. Why would my son be home if I didn't picked him up yet? I quickly rushed to the door, not caring what I was wearing. How can I be so careless? How come I haven't heard the teacher? I've been dwelling too much I forgot I still have a son to take care of.

I ran out of the building while tears made its way down my face. I looked throughout the whole compound until I saw the benches.

Where could my son be?

While looking around I saw Jungkook carrying my son. Beside him was a man unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time. I didn't waste a second and dashed towards them.

"Sean!" I screamed

They whipped their heads towards my direction until I was in front, catching my breath.

"Mommy!" Sean beamed and Jungkook brought him down while he quickly hugged me.

I hugged him back and buried my face in his uniform. I inhaled his scent. The sweet powdery smell of his baby cologne with a hint of his natural smell mixed with the fabric conditioner.

I was lost in recognizing his scent when Jungkook cleared his throat. I quickly stood up and met his gaze.

"Noona," He firmly said. Once our eyes met I knew what was coming. He was mad. His face shows concern and anger.

"Jungkook.." I replied as he grabbed my wrist, making me flinch. He then dragged me to sit on the bench.

"What happened this time? Noona even Sean? Why?" He asked while his eyes displayed his concern.

"I-I was pregnant.." Was all I uttered as I tried to act strong.

"And.." He pushed.

"We had a fight and he didn't want the baby. And I ended up in the hospital." I told him as I felt the tears threatening to fall once again.

Jungkook grabbed my shoulders and rubbed my back, trying to calm me. "Shh. It's okay noona, I'm here, I'm here. Is that why I haven't seen you in a while?" He asked while I nodded.

"Why noona? Did I tell you? Why do you have to suffer? He even left a bruise to your son." He informed me as his eyes showed more unspoken words of concern.

"What?" I asked surprised as I heard his words. I never knew Daniel hurt our son. I quickly grabbed my son's hands and inspected his arms. I gasped once I saw what Jungkook was talking about and pulled my son for a hug.

Then someone coughed behind us and quickly caught our attention.

"Oh right. Noona this is Namjoon-hyung, our new neighbor." Jungkook smiled while he put his arms around the man's shoulder.

Once I saw the familiar face my eyes went wide but I quickly covered it by looking somewhere else. He extended his hand and I hesitantly took it. Once our hands touched it all came back to me. The memories, our memories as friends. The people who genuinely cared for me.

"N-Nice to meet you." I meekly replied.

"Same here?" He cocked an eyebrow questioning me.

"Y/N!" I spoke a little louder than expected since I forgot to introduce myself.

"Y/N-SSI!" He repeated my name as he smiled, showing the two prominent dimples by his cheek.

Jungkook clapped his hands and I quickly withdrew my hand from Namjoon. "So now that everything is settled. Why don't you throw a house warming party at your house hyung?"

Jungkook was like a brother I never had. He always tried to help me. He knew how uncomfortable I become regarding my life. So when it came to things like this he never pressured me. He just always assured me that whatever happens, he will always be there to give me a helping hand.

My eyes widen in surprise at what Jungkook suggested. I quickly waved my hands in the air and informed them, "No! No, I can't come Kookie. What if he comes home?" I told him as I grew nervous.

Daniel didn't like Jungkook. They're like two big rocks that clash once they saw each other. Daniel thinks that Jungkook is just hitting on me. Jungkook on the other hand never liked Daniel on the get go. Especially since he learned that my partner hits me. He even offered one time to beat the living out of Daniel, but I stopped him.

He's too young to be involved in my messy drama of life.

"Don't worry I'll help you." He grinned, sometimes this kid can't understand boundaries and that's when I lose my temper.

"Sinabing ayoko Jungkook! Huwag ka makulit! Masakit pa nga kasi katawan ko! (Jungkook I told you I don't want to go! My body still aches, please don't force me!)" I whisper yelled while glaring at him.

"Huwag ka mag alala. Ako ng bahala noona! (Don't worry just leave it to me noona!)" He said as he grinned wider while I groaned in frustration.

"No! Kookie. Nakunan ako at kailangan ko mag pahinga, (I need to rest, I lost the baby). I hope you understand." At my statement, his eyes softened and I saw him looked down, feeling guilty for forcing me.

"Okay noona, I'm sorry I didn't know, maybe next time." He replied softly, giving me a small smile.

"Thank you," I said as I ruffled his hair.

Namjoon's POV

As Jungkook suggested the house party, I was glad since I'll be able to talk to her. I felt like she knew me. She looked like the Y/N I knew and I have a feeling that it's really her. But what I don't understand is why does she hide the fact that she knew me?

I felt offended, to say the least, but if she hugged the little boy that Jungkook was holding and he screamed 'mommy' to her a while ago then maybe she's married already and wants to keep her distance.

I was about to approach Jungkook when she yelled in a language that I don't quite understand. While they started to argue I can't quite put the words together so I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"You don't understand them to do you?" A small voice talked by my side and I saw the little boy named Sean smiling at me.

I just shook my head and smiled at him.

"It's okay mister. In time you'll understand them. Just try to understand our language." He informed me cheekily.

"Just like his mother," I thought. But what I don't quite understand is why does she look familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

The light that shines around her wasn't there anymore. The smile that was contagious isn't visible unlike before. Her eyes held storms that were indescribable. She looked sad, it's like looking at the same person and looking at a stranger at the same time.

What happened to you Y/N?

Y/N's POV

I need to keep a distance from Namjoon as much as possible. But now that he met Jungkook it seems that it's really impossible.

Jeon Jungkook became my neighbor a year ago. He accidentally saw Daniel and I fighting. As a sweet young man that he was, when Daniel was about to hit me he intervened.

Since then he always kept an eye on Daniel. Jungkook and I became close because he reminded me of Jimin. He always played with Sean and treats my son like his little brother. While he looked up to me as a sister he never had.

I helped him adjust here and in return, he helps me sell my homemade goods. It was a range of frozen foods to desserts. A small business that I started, since Daniel doesn't give me money.

He sells them to his classmates and teachers. To whoever he saw that could be interested. Sometimes he uses his charms to sell it all.

Ever since it happened, he encourages me to leave Daniel. He even offered his house to us. But I can't take it. I just can't. I distanced myself from everyone so they won't get involved and I can't let Jungkook be involved too.

"Noona are you okay?" I was snapped out of my thoughts when Jungkook tapped my shoulder. After the little argument that we had, I accidentally spaced out.

"Y-Yeah. I'm fine." I answered.

"Mommy, can I go to his house? Pretty please?" Sean approached us as he pointed at Namjoon.

"S-Sure honey, just get changed first okay?" I hesitantly answered.

"Yes! Let's go, mommy!" My son danced his little victory dance while dragging me to the elevator. The two males following us.

The elevator ride was silent. No one dared to talk. But I can feel Namjoon's gaze behind my back and that made me uncomfortable.

Once we got out of the elevator my son spoke, "Mister wait for me okay?" He informed the tall man, flashing him his sweet smile.

"Sure no problem bud." He answered as he ruffled my son's hair.

Namjoon's POV

I knew it! She was ignoring me on purpose and I don't know why. I wanted to speak to her but I can't approach her since it looks like she doesn't want anybody to know that we knew each other.

I entered my house with Jungkook behind my back. We sat on the couch when an idea came to my mind.

"Jungkook how is that Y/N noona of yours?" I asked.

He looked surprised by my sudden question and placed his chin in his hand, thinking. Before he answered. "She's sweet and a kind-hearted person. Sadly her husband doesn't see it." Then he looked down.

"How come?" I pressed more.

"I don't know if I should be the one telling you. But Y/N noona deserves all the help she could get." He spoke as he stared at me.

"What do you mean? How come?" I asked my curiosity at its peak.

"Well. Her husband's an asshole. His name is Daniel and I hate him so much. He never gave her any worth. He doesn't even give her money to spend. He treats her unfairly. One time I saw him with another woman and when I told noona about it she just shrugged and told me it was just his secretary." He explained while balling his fist, probably recalling the memory.

"And do you believe her?" I questioned.

"Heck no! What I witnessed wasn't something a secretary would do. But I can't do anything. It's not my place, I don't want to upset noona." Jungkook sighed as he slouches on the seat while playing with the loose thread in his shirt.

The air felt silent. My brain traveled back to the incident years ago. I knew before he would turn out to be an ass, but I didn't know it would come this far. As I was about to speak, someone knocked on the door.

I walked to the door and opened it. There stood the mother and son duo. Sean was holding a small storage box filled with toys and paper while his mother stretched her hand out, handing me a bag of packed foods.

"Our welcome gift for you!" Y/N said as she looked at me.

"Hey, Mister..." Sean spoke in front of his mother as I looked down at his height. "..Namjoon, mommy made that, so be sure to eat it okay?" He reminded me but it sounded like he was trying to threaten me. Before he looked up at his mother. "Mommy I'll go to Kuya Jungkook now okay?" Before she could reply the kid dashed inside the house.

"I'm sorry, he's just a hyperactive kid." She commented before she Shook her head.

"It's okay," I answered then led her inside my house.

Once we reached the living room Jungkook mused Sean to go to his mom, "Noona! Sean wants to tell you something."

"Yes, baby?" She turned to her son with a smile.

"Mommy I'm sorry, I left school. Without permission." The little boy spoke while looking down and playing with his hands.

"Oh right! Why did you do that honey?" She asked while looking at her son disappointedly.

"Because I don't want you to worry. You've been crying every day since we lost my baby brother or sister right?" He said as tears start to brim on his eyes.

"Ohh my, you just made mommy worry more." She pouted at her son.

"I'm really really sorry mommy, I won't do it again pinky promise," Sean informed his mom as he let his pinky out. They both intertwined their finger and hugged for the last time.

At that Jungkook and I both stare in the heartwarming scene and let our eyes soften at the interaction.

We continued chatting until Jungkook and Sean decided to get snacks and went out leaving the two of us in awkward silence.

"So? How are you Y/N?" She looked taken aback but answered nonetheless.

"I'm fine, I guess." She answered hesitantly.

"How's everything? Do you and Quincy still see each other?" At the mention of the name, Y/N became stiff.

"Quincy? Who's that?" She innocently asked.

I chuckled at how she tried to hide the fact that I knew her. "What are you talking about? You think I wouldn't recognize you?" I said as I looked at her seriously.

Lie

It became silent. She was still playing her 'I don't remember you card' even if it was obviously a lie. "Really? Send my regards to her okay?" I told her incredulously.

"I don't know who you're talking about Mr. Kim!" At this, she stood up and raised her voice.

My eyebrows shot up, surprised but I quickly furrowed it and looked at her seriously. My face was stern. That's when she realized what she said.

I never told her my last name. Unless she really knew me. Her eyes widened and she quickly tried to evade me. Standing up, she was about to leave when I grabbed her hand, stopping her movements.

"Y/N please let me help you. Let us help you." I pleaded.

"You don't need to Namjoon. This is my problem. Mine alone." She growled.

I scoffed, she was just unbelievable. "Just like before, you pushed everyone who tried to help you and care about you. But this is a different case now. You have a son!" As I spoke, I raised my voice at her. I stood up and faced her. She was being stubborn even if she was already helpless.

She advanced and poked her finger in my chest. "That's the reason! Don't meddle with things that don't concern you! This is my family!"

I huffed, "Family? Does he treat you like one?" I asked.

"You don't know anything! So don't assume you know me well." At that, she turned around ready to leave.

"Jimin wants to see you. He said he wants to tell you something." I spoke before she could walk out my door.

"Tell him you haven't seen me." She replied before slamming my door shut.
