Time stopped when V called Jinyoung, both Mark and Jinyoung surprised with the word coming from the cute little boy's lips.

“V, what are you doing here son?” Jinyoung squatted down and took the boy up into his arms.

“Son…I told you to not disturb Appa if I bring you here,” A pretty lady came from the back and took V from Jinyoung's hold.

“It is okay Suzy," Jinyoung reassured and turned to the child. "Can you wait there while Appa works?”

The boy nodded and Suzy carried him away. 

Jinyoung saw Mark's surprised face and the other directors at the back started whispering to each other.

“I’m sorry. Let me show you the room,” Jinyoung turned back to speak to the clients, glancing at Mark for a second who seemed unable to control himself from asking Jinyoung about V.

Jinyoung showed the directors the room first so that he could keep Mark for last. Finally when they were alone in the elevator, Mark just looked down, unable to utter any words.

“Hyung, how are you?” Jinyoung asked.

“I’m good. How about you?” This time their eyes met and Jinyoung smiled.

“I’m good as well. I thought that Papa would come, but it is you who came instead,” Jinyoung took a deep breath, eyes asking for an explanation.

“Papa asked me to replace him, and I’m glad he did,” Mark was controlling himself from kissing Jinyoung, who looked at him with a bright smile.

“Really? I thought you will hate me when you see me again,” Jinyoung said and closed the distance between himself and Mark.

“I hate it because it hurts me to not hug you,” Mark pulled Jinyoung into another tight hug and the lift dinged to a stop.

Both laughed at how the sound interrupted their moment.

“This is your room sir,” Jinyoung opened Mark's door and gave Mark his pass card.

“Come inside. I need to ask a lot of things,” Mark held Jinyoung's hand pleadingly but the younger shook his head.

“I need to go down. Suzy and my son are waiting for me. I will spend my time with you tonight, I promise.” Jinyoung showed his pinky finger and Mark grabbed it with a soft smile at their childhood habit.

“I’ll wait. You have a beautiful wife and son,” Mark said still smiling, though his heart was broken.

“Huh?” Jinyoung frowned.

“Nothing. See you tonight.”

Jinyoung nodded and left Mark with his heart shattered.

Jinyoung was looking at V, who was playing with Yugyeom and Suzy at the hotel playground. He ran to him once he saw Jinyoung at the playground gate.

“Appa…!!!” V hugged his leg and Yugyeom pouted at being abandoned by the little boy.

“Why are you coming here? Miss me?” Jinyoung asked.

“Omma said that today V's test results came out, and the doctor said V can live longer.” Suzy said softly, while Jinyoung held the little boy's hand and sat in front of her.

“How was it?” Jinyoung could see Suzy trying hard not to cry.

“Doctor said he shall fully recover.” Suzy gave a watery smile and Jinyoung wiped the girl's happy tears.

“Hey, don’t cry. It will make people think I made you cry,” Jinyoung teased and Suzy giggled.

“Can I hug you?” Suzy asked and Jinyoung nodded before the girl hugged him.

“Thank you, Jinyoung-ah. For saving my son's life,” Suzy cried and Jinyoung smiled.

“You gave me so much happiness, Suzy. V is part of my life now and my happiness.”

Jinyoung had donated one of his kidney to V two years ago. Suzy gave him a special place to be V's adopted father. V showed him the true meaning of love after he thought that no one loved him.

“Jinyoung-ah, I wish you could stay but I know you have to leave.” Suzy wanted to keep Jinyoung for herself but she knew Jinyoung loved someone else, and his love for that person could not compare to her.

“You will fin
