Jessica woke up with Yoona sitting at the edge of the bed while caressing her hair 
 
"Did I wake you up?"  
 
"N—No" She turned to her right to look at the clock. It's almost time for dinner. "The kids have been looking for you, but they'll be back later" Added her sitting up "Are you going to go again or?" 
 
"No, I don't have schedule now" She smiled "I can be with you and the twins" 
 
"That's good then" 
 
"Can we talk?" She asked stopping Jessica who was going to leave the bed "I have something to tell you" 
 
"Oh??!! You're home now umma" He sadly smiled at the sight of Yoona "I thought you wouldn't be so I only saved for mommy …" 
 
"Saved what?" 
 
"Tangerines" He put on his brightest smile as he took the said fruit on his backpack, Yoona had pulled him up to sit on her lap 
 
"It's really delicious. We picked a lot and ate a lot" 
 
"Then why didn't you take a lot?" 
 
"The grandpa said that it may not be a tangerine anymore when we fit it to our bag. My bag if filled with my things so it will get squeezed too" 
 
"But you still saved one for me?" Jessica asked 
 
"Hmm. I didn't know that umma would be home" He raised his brows approvingly "I handled my bag carefully" 
 
"It smells good, thank you very much" She pinched Nath's cheek. And before she could ask where Soyou is, the little girl is cracking up on her way to the room 
 
"Mommy I brought you too, And umma" Informed her with her hands hiding on her back 
 
"What is?" 
 
"Cupcakes~!"  
 
"Wow. That is so thoughtful of you" Yoona took it while Jessica cocked a brow 
 
"Hey! You took it from the fridge. I baked that one" 
 
"Umma is okay with it" She cracked up before going towards Jessica to give a kiss "Since you aren't, mine is a kiss only" 
 
"Thoughtful" Nath giggled "It's mommy's little cake for me because I got three stars that day" 
 
"Tch" 
 
"So why weren't you home for so long?" 
 
"I told you umma has work to do. Ryujin doesn't believe mommy anymore" She sighed acting up when, she herself, the work isn't the only reason why Yoona was away for so long. She just don't want the kids to know about it. 
 
"You didn't bump cars while I wasn't here?" 
 
"Of course!" Soyou answered "Mommy doesn't get annoyed by it" 
 
"It's not fun" He added 
 
"So you're going to bump cars now that I'm here?" 
 
"Yes!" They chorused and Jessica excused herself 
 
"I'm going to make dinner. What would you like to have?" 
 
"Anything" 
 
-- 
 
They had a casual dinner. The twins kept on asking if Yoona is alright and if work had been well and so does Yoona while Jessica chose to be a listening ear the whole time. Jessica is the one who tucked the kids to sleep while Yoona washed the dishes 
 
"You said you wanted to talk, what is it about?" She asked as soon as she took the cup of hot choco Yoona offered to her 
 
"It's about why I wasn't able to come home for about 2 weeks now …" 
 
"Why?" 
 
"I've been thinking, finding the courage to face you" 
 
"Because?" 
 
"I wasn't home because I—" 
 
"Was with Yuri" She cut off Yoona and finished the sentence by herself. It hurts, but she chose to remain her composure. She felt very hurt though. Especially when Yoona bit her lip and looking guilty of if. "So it's true" Added her 
 
"Sooyeon …" She called out, holding Jessica's hand 
 
"Let's talk about it some other time" She looked away. She didn't like it where her gut is leading her 
 
"No." She answered sternly "Not when I'm already aware of how hurt you are. Not when I know that you're keeping thoughts for yourself again" 
 
"What do you mean that you're aware? This is the first time we've seen you again. Right after almost a One month and one week. And about 2 weeks of being unreachable" 
 
"When you were drunk a few days ago, it was me who took you home" Confessed her "All those confessions, wasn't shared to Clinton but to me. You were so drunk that day" 
 
Instead of gasping or anything, she turned to leave. She can't believe that seeing Yoona now would hurt this way when it didn't before.  
 
"I'm sorry" She apologized, tightly holding Jessica in her embrace "I know what happened is unforgivable but, even so, I don't want to lose you. I can't. Even if this sound so selfish of me" 
 
"Why did you …" She sobbed while punching Yoona on the chest 
 
"Trust me. I don't know what happened that time. But even so, I know, it's wrong. I was already away and that had to happen" 
 
"How can you not know" She continued to sob. Goodness, who knows how hurt and vulnerable she is right now? 
 
"We were drinking and then I got dizzy fast. I don't know what happened next" 
 
"You were … I don't know. I want to believe you, but … I am not sure too. I know you wouldn't do such, but this" She took her phone and went to the message Yuri had sent her a few days ago "This is a crucial evidence. I'm sorry, but please give me time" answered her as she free herself from Yoona's embrace 
 
-- 
 
"Why are you sad?" Nath inquired at his mommy who woke up the same time as him so they both came to the dining late unlike Yoona who already cooked and Soyou who woke up in her usual time 
 
"Says who?" 
 
"Me. I can see it" Answered Soyou 
 
"I am not" She smiled 
 
"I can see it too" 
 
"There's no reason for me to be sad" She lied "Especially now that wifey is here" Another lie that she find it hard to add 
 
"But you're not happy" Soyou remarked 
 
"I have a lot of work to do" She pouted  
 
"Umma, did you two fight?" 
 
… 
 
"You did?" 
 
"No, We didn't. Why?" Yoona lied as she turned to look at Jessica. She know that she shouldn't be lying but Jessica would like it either when the kids would find out why they had foug
