Can we talk about how handsome is he!? 😭

------

Jia had arrived at Ji-hu's kindergarten to drop him off. The boy was highly active and so he was excited as well, to be back in kindergarten after the weekend was over.

Jia cooed at the sight of her son, who was giggling and jumping while holding his mother's hand. A small tiger bag dangling from his back bounced along with the enthusiastic boy, making Jia grin and shake her head.

She returned to her café after dropping off her son and was hailed by her workers. Recently, the café had been doing much better. She had no idea if it was due to the ambiance or because of Taehyung's scandal! Regardless, she was content.

Since it was early for the café to open, she decided to go and check the café kitchen. As she made her way there, she double-checked each of the pastries on the tables for being cut into exact squares and triangles by the pâtissier. On seeing the chocolate pastry, the memories from 4 years back hit her like a truck. She was lost in her thoughts until the bells from the entrance door jingled.

Because it was still time for the café to open, Jia was taken aback by the sudden appearance of someone. When she returned to the counter, she was welcomed by a man wearing a black mask. She exactly knew who he was and now the certain someone's appearance had pissed her.

"Café is yet to open," Jia stated politely, faking a smile to avoid causing a stir in front of her staff.

"Is this your café?" Taehyung inquired as he looked around the café. He should have guessed it the last time he was here after seeing the artificial flower designs strung around the walls randomly with yellow and orange lighting. There were also little, colorful birds adorning the motifs.

When Jia was pregnant, she begged Taehyung to accompany her to a shop where she could get such floral designs for her bedroom. Their bedroom to be precise. Despite the fact that Taehyung was irritated by the girl's constant demands for her to obtain items, he obeyed. He remembers how the girl turned his room into a mini-garden, which looked vibrant and cute, but he didn't admit it at the time, and he won't now.

Jia's words pulled him out of his reverie. "That doesn't concern you, Sir." She said through gritted teeth, and now Taehyung felt compelled to annoy the girl even more.

The workers didn't seem to recognize Taehyung because they continued to prepare the tables and execute their jobs, even when Taehyung was talking to their boss. As a result, he took that as a signal to continue pissing off the girl.

"Everything that is related to you concerns me, babygirl." After calling her by the name that made Jia blush a thousand shades of scarlet, Taehyung winked. But she was quick to wipe the blush off her face and put on a poker face.

Jia cynically said, "Exactly get out of here and don't come back, just like you did before."

"What if I say that you will come back to me, sooner or later?" Taehyung questioned the annoyed girl, tilting his head and getting closer to her.

"That won't happen ever. We are happy without you." Jia retorted.

"What if Ji-hu wants us back?" Taehyung asked.

Jia was furious now if she wasn't already. She warned Taehyung by pulling his collar. "You better stay away from my son. I've left you for good. Also, he doesn't know who his father is."

"Oh, babygirl! Do you realize how much did I miss you? As much as the stars-"

"In the sky? Sure!" She finished Taehyung's sentence and left his collar, looking outside the café. "No wonder! I can't see them." She smirked as she glanced at the man standing in front of her with mouth wide open.

"Let us act like adults we are and let me know your order before the café opens," Jia spoke with a straight face and Taehyung let out a sigh.

"Dark chocolate mocha and chocolate cake. To go!" Taehyung placed his order politely and took out his wallet. He took out his black card and handed it to the café's owner.

When he looked at the girl, she had her eyes wide open. "What happened now? As you requested, I gave my order and acted like an adult."

"You don't like chocolate, Tae." Jia spoke, not really noticing her concern-filled voice or the way she referred to him.

"People change, babygirl! I can see how you still remember my likes and dislikes." Taehyung flashed a genuine smile this time.

"Okay, I won't piss you more. I need to go back soon before your dear brother beheads me. We're working on a new song, and he's waiting for me to arrive. Oh, I almost forgot. Get me whichever coffee he drinks regularly."

Jia remained silent this time. She took Taehyung's card from him, placed the order, and returned the card to him. "Sit. I'll let you know when the order is ready." She spoke and then went inside.

Taehyung went to the nearest table and pulled out the chair. He drew out the phone from his pocket and sat down. Looking at the photo on the lock screen, he smiled.

It was the selfie that Taehyung took the first time when he saw Ji-hu. Jia slept at one end of the bed, her hand on Ji-hu's chest, while Taehyung slept at the other end. He treasured this photograph because it was the only one he had of his son and wife. Ex-wife.

Taehyung continued to scroll his phone and check out his social media. Not long after, a girl came with his order and handed it to him. He pouted behind the mask when Jia didn't come with his order. Of course, she was the boss. But she could have shown her face to him. He exited the café after thanking the girl and mumbling to himself how ruthless his ex-wife was.
