It's a bright and busy Monday morning today as everyone are either rushing off to work or to school.

Stephanie and Zachary are included as those people. Stephanie woke up extra early to prepare breakfast since nanny Kim is no longer working there, thus she had to do everything herself.

But by the time she was ready, it was already half past six. Zachary is not even done with his breakfast.

"Baby, we need to hurry. The road is probably jammed by now" Stephanie rushed.

"I can't finish this mummy" he pouted and pushed the dish containing fried noodles aside.

"You didn't even touch the food baby. Don't you like it?" Stephanie asked tenderly as she sat beside him.

"I miss nanny" he admitted.

"Baby, I thought we talked about this matter. You said you won't feel sad about it anymore" Stephanie tried her best to understand the kid. She doesn't want to scold him aimlessly.

"I know that but..." he stopped and looked into his mother's eyes. He can't continue what he was going to say because for sure, it will hurt her feelings. 

"What is it baby?" Stephanie urged.

"Never mind mummy" he sighed and got up. He quickly put on his shoes and walked out the front door. Stephanie could only watch him with sad eyes.

Inside the car, none of them spoke anything. It was just a comfortable silence. 

"Baby, this weekend harabeoji will be coming here to visit us. Are you excited?" Stephanie decided to break the silence with an excited voice, hoping to change her son's mood.

"Nae" he answered with such a low spirit. It is as if his soul is somewhere else.

"Baby, you don't sound excited. Did I do something wrong?" Stephanie asked worriedly.

"It's nothing Mummy" he shook his head. He doesn't want to tell his mother that the reason he's very upset right now was because of the fried noodles. It has prawns in it and he is allergic to seafood. Nanny Kim always remembered not to fry the noodles with seafood. He didn't understand why his mummy could forget that.

And he can't tell his mother that mistake or else she will be sad. So he decided to keep quiet.

"O-oh..alright" Stephanie sighed. She focused back on her driving and just ignored that suffocated feeling in her heart.

When they arrived in front of Zachary's school, Stephanie hugged her son tightly before kissing his forehead.

"Be good in school baby and make mummy proud" Stephanie cheered. 

"Okay mummy. Bye" Zachary waved and got down the car before running off to his classroom.

"Was it something I said or did? Or is he really still missing nanny Kim?" Stephanie couldn't help but ask that question.

"I should find a new replacement as soon as possible" she finally said and drove off to work.

At Flower Inn:

Stephanie did not expect Nichkhun to be standing in front of the shop when she got there. 

"What are you doing here?" She asked rudely.

"Is that how you greet your best friend?" Nichkhun shook his head disapprovingly.

"You're no longer my best friend" Stephanie rolled her eyes.

"You're right. I think you would prefer the term 'secret lover' then?" Nichkhun teased, causing Stephanie's cheeks to turn bright red. 

"You should be at your office now and not here with someone like me" Stephanie pushed him away from the front door and unlocked the door.

"I just came by to see you. I missed you that's all" Nichkhun blurted out. Stephanie stiffened at his words.

"Have you forgotten that you're married? What will people think if they sees you here with me? It would create a gossip and you could lose your reputation" Stephanie turned around and gave him a hard look.

She hoped that he would listen and leave her alone. She didn't want to create problems between them anymore because seriously, she's hurting inside. She's tired of all of this. His presence brought back that yearning and aching feeling in her heart and she didn't like it one bit.

"It's not like I'm cheating on my wife" Nichkhun shrugged. He seems to be taking this lightly, making Stephanie angry. 

"Oppa, please just leave. I'm not in the mood to argue with someone as stubborn as you" Stephanie spat and shut the front door to Flower Inn. 

Nichkhun scratched his head and then an idea popped in his mind. He walked back to his car and drove off.

Stephanie let out a sigh of relief when she saw Nichkhun's car speeding off until it was out of her sight. A few minutes later, Sunny walked in with a tired look on her face.

"What happened to you?" Stephanie asked, surprised.

"I'm dead tired" Sunny whined and rubbed her face. She sat down on the chair at the counter and placed her head on the counter. She shuts her eyes and smiled.

'Finally some peace and quiet' she thought.

"Sunny, what are you not telling me?" Stephanie's voice woke her up. She looked at the former and stuck her tongue out playfully.

"It's my secret so shut up and let me sleep"

Sunny went back to shutting her eyes but then she felt a tap on her shoulder. 

"I'm not telling you" Sunny groaned.

"Please~" Stephanie begged with that cute voice of hers.

"Urgh! Your voice is so~ not cute" Sunny complained and finally she stood up. Stephanie pouted and clasped her hands together in front of Sunny and begged.

"Fine~ I will tell you but don't you dare tease me after that" Sunny warned. Stephanie nodded eagerly.

"Do you remember Sungmin?" Sunny started off with a question.

Stephanie thought hard before nodding. Sunny told her before that Sungmin is her best friend and they basically couldn't live without each other.

"He came to my apartment last night and...." Sunny's sentence was cut off.

"Did you two commit illegal action?" Stephanie narrowed her eyes at her friend.

"Yah! I haven't even finished my sentence" Sunny slapped Stephanie's arm. The latter just giggled.

"Okay I'm sorry. Please continue"

"So, he came along with his daughter. He told me to babysit her..." Sunny sighed, feeling tears swelling up at the corner of her eyes. 

"Y-you m-mean...He already has a child? But I thought you two love each other more than friends" Stephanie was shocked beyond words.

When Stephanie first met Sunny three years ago, the latter would tell her everything about her relationship with Sungmin: about how they used to tease each other and would escape classes during their high school years and how they love having sleepovers. Sunny even told her that she loves him deeply but never dared to confess.

"Yeah, it was just a year ago when he told me he has a girlfriend. He introduced me to her and I knew from that very moment that he could never be mine" Sunny cried.

Stephanie hugged her and gave her comforting words.

"The worst part was when he told me he was going to be a father. They only dated for a few months and he was already happy with his life. It made me feel even more depressed" Sunny tightened her arms around Stephanie to find comfort.

"Then why didn't he get married?" Stephanie couldn't help but to ask.

"The girlfriend doesn't want to get married yet. She wanted to
