"Yes, sweetheart. I'm still at her place..."

Hana feels her heart has been stabbing with the same painful knife for another million times. Her mind flashback to that moment from years ago, when she found the same thing like this, Jungkook on the phone with someone while calling her with that nickname. He was pranking her at that moment, could it be he was pranking her too this time?

"Yeah. Of course. I love you, sweetheart." He added another sentence and hung up the phone while Hana was peeking behind the wall. He wasn't pulling a prank this time. He's really in a phone call but he looks rather frustrated after he hung up the phone. Leans on the kitchen sink, he hung his head down, as if he's deep in his thought. Now that she thinks about it, his voice when he was on the phone even sound so plain. What's happening?

"Kook?" Unlike her old self, she goes forward without any hesitation this time. She walked in the kitchen and Jungkook turns to face her almost instantly. He widened his eyes, as if he got caught doing something bad. Although Hana wasn't sure what's happening with him, she decided to just being honest and listen to him first.

"H-Hana? H-Hey, since when you're here?" He sounds nervous but trying to cover it with a fake smile which Hana notice easily.

"I heard about it, if you're wondering and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a prank this time. So what was it, Kook? You know, you don't have to hide it if you have someone else. I couldn't blame you since I left for so long. I just want to ask you since you look so frustrated. So, as I was saying earlier, it's okay for me and for Hangguk, we could discuss about the schedule and everything. I don't want to get into between you and your-"

"She's Hikari." Jungkook cut her off with a short and cold sentence. A name that makes her hands grow cold. A name that makes her anxiety appear. A name that literally ruined her life and give her nightmare from time to time. "From the mental hospital." but the following after makes Hana's jaw dropped.

"W-What?" It came out as a faint whisper as she tried to proceed what she just heard from Jungkook.

"Come here." Jungkook approached her and pull her to sit down in one of the chairs in the dining table. Then he took a seat beside her and inhales deeply. "After you left, I was losing myself. I was in despair but that night, accidentally I heard her conversation over phone call with someone. She was happily laughing over us believing her fake pregnancy. She was laughing until her tears came out when she mentioned that you finally left me for good. She was so scary. I don't know what to do. I was scared of her to the point I talk the hyung and ask them what should I do.

Then with their help, we managed to trick her and took her to a doctor. I had to play pretend that I care for her and talk softly as if I really have feelings for her. It was so hard because I was literally scared of her. She started to buying my act and that's how we figured out she has a mental disorder. The doctor said she was obsessed with me in a not healthy way which makes her do everything in order to get what she wants.

After a lot of struggles and some test, they finally confirmed that she needs a treatment and that's how she ended up in the mental hospital right now. She's slowly recovered I suppose but sometime she still demands the need to call me and want me to call her like that, yeah- just like what you heard earlier. At first, I didn't want to do that but then she would become hysterical and throwing things around her. So, the doctor asked my help to at least accept the call once per day. It becomes lessened by now, the call will come once in few days or sometime once a week. I-I was so surprised when the call coming earlier, I was so scared if you found out and misunderstood about the whole situation. I was so-"

"Sshhh. It's okay, Jungkook. I'm here." couldn't bear it no more, she pulls him into her warm embrace and pats his back slowly to calm him down. She felt bad for assuming things and not knowing what he has been through when she's not around. It must be so hard back then. "Why don't you tell me, hm?"

"I-I know it will trigger you if I mention about her. So I keep it away. I-I've been missing you so much I don't want to ruin the mood. I-I'm sorry, Han." His voice was hoarse and trembling, she know that he must be crying.

Pushing him away slowly, she takes a look at his face and her assumption was right. Jungkook was crying but still trying to hide it away from her. He quickly wipes away his tears but she stopped his action and wipe it for him instead. "You can cry in front of me. It's okay. I'm sorry, I didn't know anything. I didn't know about your struggles too." She said and cupped his cheeks, holding it as if he's the most precious thing she ever have.

"No.. Don't say that." He shakes his head and sniffling a little like a baby he is. "Hana..." He called her softly and she only hummed in response but through their eyes contact, he knew that she's listening. "I know that you wanted to take things slow but still I want to say this, I want you to know that I still love you. I know I was so shameless to say this but I can't hold it back anymore. The time without you were so scary. I was drowning in guilt and regret every day and every night. I just think you need to know, you really mean a lot to me."

"I know, Jungkook." and even though he was a little disappointed as her answer, he flashes her a little smile before asking.

"Can I get a hug again?"

"Of course." and with that permission, he places himself in her embrace to feel her warmth once again. Closing his eyes, he inhales the scent that always calm him down. A scent of what home feels like. She's his home.

"Daddy!!" The little one walking closer with his little steps into the scene. He was holding his bunny plushie with one hand while another one rubbing his eyes cutely. "Why are you hugging Mommy?"

"Baby! Mommy just comforting Daddy. Come, Mommy will hug you too." She said, knowing her little son always get jealous easily, God-knows where he got that from.

"No, I mean. Daddy supposed to hug Hangguk! Why Daddy left Hangguk alone?!" His answer makes both of them exchanged glances before burst into laughter.

"Seems like someone has a new favourite person." Jungkook teased her as he lifted Hangguk from the ground to carry him in his embrace. "Daddy wanted to makes breakfast for you little one. That's why I left." He boops his nose makes the little one giggles even more.

"Then where is the food? Hangguk is hungry hungry."

"Let's go brush your teeth and wash your face first, baby. Let's go and leave Daddy so he could cook, okay?" She picks him from Jungkook's arms and walk away to the bathroom, leaving Jungkook staring at both of them with a genuine smile. This is the happiness that he yearns for so long.

"Hangguk told me that we are going to amusement park today. Why you promised him such a thing? Do you know that he has good memories? He will remember it for weeks and months." She confronts him when both were preparing their breakfast while their son was on the living room, watching his favourite cartoon.

"Why can't I? And he doesn't need to wait for months too, we will definitely go after breakfast." Jungkook chuckles at Hana's reaction, finding her cute for complaining.

"W-What are you saying? How can you go to amusement park with me, especially with him? A baby? What your fans will say? The news will spread fast and you will be in every headline news, Kook-"

"No one is going to be there, I promise." He cut her off without looking at her. He was busily moving the food to the dining table for the breakfast.

"What do you mean?" While Hana was eyeing him from time to time, don't understand what goes inside his mind.

"I rent the park for a whole day." and with that Jungkook paused only to flash her his infamous bunny smile. Sadly, it only last for a while for her to enjoy since he immediately runaway when he notice Hana was coming for him.

"You little bunny! Come here!!!"

Then the little game begins around the table. Soon, Hana was about to reach him before he pulls out his phone while panting.

"H-Hold on, Hana. I need to pick this up." He said before pick up the phone and Hana roll her eyes, thinking he was making an excuse to escape.

"W-What? Today??" now what?
