“Mr. Han! You’re back!” Ji Hyo greets, relieved. 

Surprised to see the pair in his office, he opens his mouth to say something just as he remembers that he was the one who told the actress to find him in the office. “Ne, I just got off from a really important call, the orders those pricks sent us were all wrong so I’m gonna have to send them back immediately." The older man explains as he hurriedly puts on his jacket, all set to leave.

“Samcheon? Can I go?" Ji Soo says with a frown, tilting her head slightly. The kid was charming indeed.

At his daughter's request, his face contorts in genuine panic. He thinks it would be too weird to be left alone with Ji Hyo in this small space. They are both different people now but somehow she looks the same. “Eh? Aniya, Ji Soo ya. Samcheon’s busy. Appa will go instead so samcheon can accommodate this eonnie, okay?” He coos, patting the child affectionately. 

But before he could even continue, Mr. Han waves him off as he picks up Ji Soo and puts a jacket on the small child who was already smiling smugly. Ji Hyo could see the same mischief in the child's eyes similar to that of her father's. The toddler has a lot of Kwang Soo's mannerisms even if she wasn't really his own.

As the pair mutely watches Mr. Han and a waving Ji Soo walk out of the office, they remained rooted at their spots.

They couldn’t believe that they got left alone in the office without so much as an option. As the room fell silent, the implications of being left alone with Kwang Soo got clearer. It was evidently more uncomfortable, there might as well be crickets singing in the background. As the tall man clears his throat, he eyes the furniture catalogue. And in a desperate attempt to disperse the awkward atmosphere, he tried to grab the brochure and in the process, he loses his balance and trips.
