After their short vacation, Minjoo visited her mom in the hospital the next day. However, when she was about to greet her mom, she was surprised by an unwanted visitor.

It was Hyunjin.

She did not know how Hyunjin knew she was coming to visit her mom, probably he asked her secretaty about her schedule. Minjoo's blood was surely boiling at the sight of the smirk on the lad's face but she told herself to not cause stress to her mom. After that dinner with the Hwangs, Minjoo completely lost all her trust to Hyunjin and his father. But since they are infront of her mom, and it seemed like her mom was actually happy seeing Hyunjin, she can't help but to hid her anger.

"Mom, I miss you so much." Minjoo hugged her mother tightly. "Me too, my baby. Mom misses you so so much." Jisoo kissed her daughter's forehead.

Minjoo apologized to her mother for not visiting her always due to work. She promised her mom she will visit her more often. Her mom reassured her that she is fine.

"You should be taking care of yourself more. Don't be too workaholic like your dad." Jisoo her daughter's hair softly.

"By the way, Dr. Kwon is currently on a summit in US so she sent a new doctor that will check on me for the mean time." Her mom gladly said.

"Okay, mom but when can I meet that 'new doctor' of yours?" Minjoo asked.

"She's still doing her rounds right now maybe in the afternoon, she's free" her mother stated.

"What a shame, I have an important meeting in the afternoon though. Maybe we can catch up on my next visit. I'll be glad to finally meet her then." Minjoo apologetically smiled to her mom.

"It's fine, my baby. I'm sure that meeting is important. You can always meet whenever both of you are free." Jisoo said.

As much as Minjoo wanted to spend more quality time with her mom, she felt quite uncomfortable with Hyunjin around. Hyunjin, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the moment taking advantage of her mom's obliviousness. He was able to convince Jisoo to allow him to have lunch with her daughter at a nearby restaurant. Minjoo was left with no choice but to accept Hyunjin's invitation even though she was dying to decline. She saw Hyunjin's winning smile that irked her more. She badly wanted to
