“Mommy.” Hara weakly advanced towards Shin Hye. She was still feeling sick after a long flight from Korea to Phuket, Thailand. Shin Hye immediately turned around and fell on her knees so she would be at the same level with her daughter.

“What is wrong, baby? Are you still feeling dizzy?”

Hara nodded. “I feel I wanted to vomit, Mommy.”

Shin Hye smiled sadly. “Do you want Mommy to massage you a little bit?”

The little girl nodded again, as she flung her tiny arms around Shin Hye. Shin Hye simply smiled. Hara had been very clingy especially to Shin Hye whenever she felt sick or unwell.

“Where is Daddy, baby?” Shin Hye muttered as she returned her hug.

“Daddy is still sleeping.”

“Let’s go to Daddy.” Shin Hye uttered, carefully bringing Hara to join Yong Hwa in the bed.

Mr. Park scoffed in annoyance to the thought of Yong Hwa was next door. Yong Hwa had been his sworn enemy eversince he knew Yong Hwa had made her daughter pregnant few years ago.

Chanyeol chuckled when he saw his father kept on sighing alone to himself, and the reasons were too obvious. He too was still shocked when he saw Yong Hwa came to the airport earlier. He thought Yong Hwa was just sending Shin Hye off, but he was coming with them too.

“Dad-”

Mr. Park looked up at his son without saying anything.

“Should we go out for dinner? I will ask noona if they wanted to join us.”

“Yong Hwa will be coming too?” Mr. Park asked.

Chanyeol hummed. “He is coming with us, Dad. Of course, he will join us for dinner.”

“Dad, do you really hate Yong Hwa so much?” Chanyeol asked bravely as he stared at his father.

Mr. Park grunted as he walked away from his son, refusing to answer his question.

“Dad, you cannot hate Yong Hwa forever. He had become really responsible to Shin Hye and Hara. We did not exactly knew what happened between them back then. We both know he looked out for noona but we refused to tell him-”

Chanyeol paused when Mr. Park slammed the door as he strode out of their shared villa.

“What is wrong?” Choa asked with a frown formed on her face when she noticed their father had left the villa without saying anything back to Chanyeol.

Chanyeol just simply shrugged away as he made his way to the kitchen to get something to drink. He could not help to hide his smile when he saw Hara was playing happily with Yong Hwa at the outside, and his father was slowly walking towards them.

Hara hurriedly ran to Yong Hwa when she saw Grandfather Park coming towards them. It was obvious Hara was scared when Mr. Park getting closer towards them, and luckily Yong Hwa understood that and steadily took Hara into his arms.

“Daddy-” Hara timidly looked at Yong Hwa as she tightened her arms around his neck.

Yong Hwa smiled lovingly at his little girl, trying to assure her at the same time that they would be fine.

“It is really noise inside.” Mr. Park said, breaking the silence between them.

“Shin Hye is inside. She will come out shortly after making the hi-tea.”

Mr. Park simply nodded as he stared intently at the sea. The silence filled between them again. It was really awkward, and Yong Hwa seemed to lose his own tongue to start the conversation with him.

“Oh-”

They instantly turned around when they heard Shin Hye’s light footsteps coming towards them.

“Mommy-” Hara grinned as she looked at Shin Hye, and feeling too nervous at the same time.

Shin Hye smiled back at her daughter, before she had exchanged look with Yong Hwa, and then looked up at her father standing few inches away from them.

“Join us, dad.” Shin Hye muttered, gesturing Mr. Park to sit with them. “Hara, get a mug for grandpa.”

Hara was first to refuse, but Yong Hwa immediately offered himself to come with Hara.

“Do you like
