'' Oh my God! This... This is... I can't even think of the right word to describe all this '' Jaejoong muttered as he shook his head. He was having coffee with Dara. When she said that she had something to tell him, he never expected what was coming.

'' I know, I'm not able to find the right description as well '' She confirmed as she took a sip of her coffee.

'' This is too much, Dara... Are you sure you're okay? You know that you can count on me if you need anything, right? '' He was worried about her because the things she knew were not something to take lightly.

'' I have no choice but to be fine... If I let myself break down and give in, I'll never be able to live my life... There's nothing I can do to change what happened in the past or bring back my parents, the only way to sooth the pain and anger is by making sure that man pays for everything he did so crying over my situation is hopeless '' She explained yet she sighed soon after '' There's only one thing scaring me though ''

'' What? '' Jae quickly asked.

'' Sang Hyun... He got angry after he learned the truth and he got even angrier when I asked him to meet our grandmother... I get his reaction but I'm afraid this would affect our relationship... I really want to have her in my life and she's truly sorry for everything, she's already old and weak and blaming her more will only worsen her guilt and maybe kill her '' She shared as she put the cup of coffee on the table in front of her '' But at the same time, I don't want to lose my brother or hurt him. He's still not talking to me since the day I told him and it's been a week now '' She closed her eyes for a few seconds '' There's also my aunt who's waiting to meet us and I've been pushing it back '' 

'' Dee '' He called and she let out a deep breath '' It'll be fine, you know Sang Hyun, he's as warm-hearted as you are. He's probably just shocked with everything and that was his only way to cope with it but I'm sure he'll come around soon enough '' He assured with a smile.

'' You think so? ''

He nodded, still smiling '' And if it'll make you feel any better, I'll talk to him later tonight and try to convince him '' He promised and put his hand on top of hers.

'' Thank you so much, Jae '' She smiled.

'' You don't have too, we're family after all. I'm just sorry that I didn't look into this before '' He apologized and Dara instantly shook his head.

'' Don't do this... No one could actually predict something like this '' Right when Jaejoong was about to speak, her phone rang. Jiyong. Just reading his name on the caller ID made her smile.

'' Hey... Yeah... I'm having some coffee with Jaejoong... '' She looked up at her brother-in-law who smirked probably thinking of a jealous Jiyong especially when Dara rolled her eyes '' Is this why you called?... Huh? Yeah, why? '' She frowned for a second '' But... Okay... When?... Yup, I'll see you later then... Me too '' She shook her head as she hung up.

'' Going out? '' Jaejoong asked and she nodded.

" Yeah, I guess so '' 

He smiled then looked at his watch '' Well, I have to go now but I'll be back for dinner '' He informed as he stood up '' Ah! But I guess you won't be here for dinner '' They both chuckled '' Anyway, have fun and I'll talk to Sang Hyun like I said '' He assured once again.

'' Thanks '' After saying goodbye, Jaejoong walked out of the kitchen leaving her alone to her thoughts. Seung Jae was in his grandparents' house and Jihoon was sleeping upstairs. Thinking of Jiyong, she was reminded that she had to call Chaerin. She grabbed her phone and dialed her friend's number. 

'' Hey '' She greeted immediately.

'' Hi, I was going to call you right now '' Chaerin said.

'' What? Why? '' Lately, Dara became more nervous and always expecting the worse.

'' There's a charity event in three weeks and I need your help to find something to wear '' She revealed and Dara instantly laughed.

'' You're going to pick your dress three weeks ahead? '' She asked through her laugh and Chaerin sighed.

'' Glad I made you laugh '' Dara could picture her rolling her eyes '' But you never know what happens and I'll be going to Paris for a few days next week so I figured I can maybe get it done and over with already '' She added while Dara reached for her already cold cup of coffee.

'' Well, I could help but first could you do something for me? '' 

'' Sure '' Chaerin replied. 

'' I know I've been asking this too much lately but could you please watch over Jihoon tonight? It'll only be a few hours and I'll come to pick him up before ten '' She asked.

'' Sure, I don't have any plans anyway and Seungri is in Hong Kong but is everything okay? '' It was clear that she was worried.

'' Yes, yes, it's just that Jiyong made some plans for us so... '' Her voice lowered slowly then she heard her best friend giggling.

'' So you and Mr. Baby daddy are going on a date '' She stated playfully and Dara rolled her eyes but at the same time smiled.

'' First, stop calling him that. Second, I don't know if it's a date because he didn't say anything. And lastly, I don't think we have time to enjoy dates with everything that's going on in our lives '' She explained.

'' Well, it's a date for me '' Chaerin answered '' I have to go now but I'll be there as soon as I'm done. You just have to stop overthinking and just make sure to look gorgeous and y so your baby daddy won't be able to look at anyone else '' She managed to say then hurriedly hung up before Dara could say anything. 

'' She's incredible '' Dara muttered chuckling. She looked at her cup of coffee and sighed when she realized that it was too cold for her so she stood up, took hers and Jaejoong's cup and put them in the sink before she left to check on Jihoon.

Back at the office, Jiyong was ecstatic. Finally, after what felt like forever, he was going to get rid of Joo Yeon. Ever since he received the signed divorce papers from her father, he couldn't stop staring at them with a wide grin on his face. Suddenly, he was jerked back to reality when his secretary called informing him of the arrival of his lawyer.
