Chapter 10
Aphrodite II
It was 7 in the morning and Mina was up to cook breakfast for her family. Her daughter, Seohyun, the morning person in the family as usual woke up early. Mina gave the little girl a kids book to learn about fruits. Then she resume to cook.
She was making omelette but then her phone rang.
"Seobaby can pass mummy's phone please?" said Mina as she poured the egg batter into the pan
Seohyun stopped whatever she was doing and passed her mother the phone. Then the little girl resumed learning the fruits from the book.
"Oh hey Sana-chan" said Mina after she saw Sana's name on the screen
"Hey Mina! We're back from America"
"Welcome home girlfriend! So when are you taking me out for shopping as we promised?"
"You are so eager to shop with me huh?"
"Of course Sana-chan . You have no idea how embarrassed am I to shop with Chaeyoung. Yesterday we were at the Victoria Secret and he sneakily bought me two nightgowns. A y one!"
"Okay Mina I don't want to know what happens next as I've figured out that you guys made out last night huh?"
"Who is that Sana" Mina heard Tzuyu's voice in the background
"Oh it's Mina. She and Chaeyoung made out last night. He bought her y nightgowns" said Sana
"Dang. Maybe I should try that"
"Hello! You guys! I'm still here!" Mina flipped the egg on the pan
"Seobang, go and look after Yoong. He's still under jet lag. Anyways, oh ya Mina where were we?"
"Must you tell your husband about Chaeyoung and I made out last night?"
Suddenly Mina felt a pair for arms wrapping around her waist. She glanced behind her and it was non other than Chaeyoung. Her husband just woke up with his hair still messy.
"So what? We all are really close with each other so I don't see the problem of not sharing here. Mina, cut the chit chat. Oh ya, I actually called you to let you know that Nayeon's graduation is about two days away and we hope that you all can attend?"
"Wait let me ask Chaeyoung"
She turned around and gave a quick kiss on his lips.
"Chae , Sana is inviting us to Nayeon's graduation. It's the day after tomorrow"
"Sure why not" said Chaeyoung while helping her to cook.
"Sana, we're going" she put back the phone against her ear
"Yay! Okay then I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Mina asked
"Tomorrow is our shopping day. Cancel whatever your plans tomorrow and let's hang out. Just the both of us"
"Omo I like that Sana. Okay see you tomorrow! Bye!"
Mina hung up the phone call. She turned around and saw Chaeyoung serving the food onto the table.
"Where are you going tomorrow?" he asked
"Shopping with Sana. Your hair is really messy Chae" Mina chuckled while using her fingers to comb his hair
"I think I had a great night last night? Haha" he laughed
"Chae, Seohyun is here" she gently slapped his arm
Chaeyoung turned to look at his daughter and smiled. He went and took a sit beside the little girl. Then he gave a kiss on her chubby cheeks.
"What is Seobaby doing?" Chaeyoung asked while smiling
Mina sat opposite and just smiled watching them.
"Daddy, what fruit is this?" the little girl scratched her head
Chaeyoung looked at the fruit and it was a Peach.
"Aah. If you look at its colour, it's the same as mummy's skin tone" said Chaeyoung
Mina glanced at the book and indeed it was a Peach.
"Yah Chae, your skin is fairer"
"It's the same as Seohyunnie's too" he said
"But daddy. This fruit looks like an apple" Seohyun puckered her little lips
"It's not an apple, my angel. It's a peach"
"Peach?" the little girl asked
Chaeyoung nodded and took an apple from the kitchen counter.
"Look at this apple. And look back at mummy. They're different right?" Chaeyoung asked her daughter
"Yah Chae! I'm not a peach!" Mina laughed because she found it was too funny
"So different, daddy" said Seohyun
"Which one do you prefer, Seohyunnie? This apple or mummy? Peach is much sweeter than apple" he whispered at his little daughter's ear
Mina just looked at the both of them while showing her eye smiles.
"Peach is sweet? Then Seo choose mummy!" Seohyun ran and hugged her mother. Mina carried the little girl and kissed on the tip of her little nose.
"Nice choice Seohyunnie!" Chaeyoung showed the little girl two thumbs up
"Hehe" Seohyun giggled
"But actually your mummy is a penguin" he said
"Penguin? Is penguin sweeter, daddy?" the little girl asked
"Haha. Looks like it's gonna be a long morning, Mina ah" Chaeyoung laughed

Somewhere in Korea, at a Starbucks Coffee shop, Matthew was having a cup of coffee while waiting for his cousin to show up. He's mind was occupied with Sana. He still remember the words from Mina but still he couldn't forget about the latter. The meeting which was held two days ago made him felt guilty of confessing his feelings to Sana.
Flashback
To proceed with the progression of the project between America and Korea, both companies must hold another meeting. This time, Matthew was shocked to see Jihyo sitting in Sana's position.
"Nice to meet you Matthew shi. I'll be replacing Sana shi's position" Jihyo stood up and bowed to him
He responded with a bow to her. Then he looked at Mina and then back to Jihyo.
"W-what happened to her?" he was slightly surprised
"She stepped out from the project due to some circumstances" said Mina while arranging her papers
"But she can't simply step out from the project. The contract said-"
"The contract clearly explains that the temporary replacement for the owner of the company is available. Plus, it doesn't matter if Sana stepped out of the project because this company have two owners and another one happens to be me" Mina smiled confidently
Matthew was speechless after getting hit by Mina's words once again.
"Shall we begin?" Jihyo cut the awkward silence
"Yes we shall" Mina smiled

Jeongyeon appeared in front of him and smashed the table.
"Wo yah!" Matthew was startled and accidentally spilled his coffee onto his pants
"Hyung! H
