Jaehyun's family was having dinner happily at home. They are gathering now because Taeyoung just came home for a visit with his newly wed wife, Jennie. They knew each other since high school. Jennie is now also working in Seoul hospital, as a nurse.

Jaehyun was not at home with them because he was busy with work.

While the family was having dinner happily, their doorbell rang. Jaehyun's mum answered the door to find a lady, carrying a three year old boy in her hand. It was raining outside and she was all drenched, but she was still hugging the boy tightly in her arm.

"Hi, is this Jung Jaehyun's family?" the lady asked politely.

"Yes, and you are?" Jaehyun's mum replied.

"I... or rather this boy, is Jung Jaehyun's son." The lady paused to observe Jaehyun's mum expression, looking at her shocked face, she continued, "Do you mind if I come in? I can explain to you."

 Jaehyun's mum was not even aware of Jaehyun having a girlfriend, let alone a son. Since they are a rich family, could she be a swindler? However, she doesn't look like one. Jaehyun's mum nodded and allowed her in. The lady was shocked upon seeing everyone at the dining table looking at her. Jaehyun's mum then sensed the lady's discomfort and broke the silence, "Perhaps we can go to the study room? You may leave the boy in the living room, my children can look after him for a while."

Upon hearing what their mum said, Yeri stood up and took the boy in her hands. Seeing that the boy did not cry in the arms of a stranger, the lady then followed Jaehyun's mum into the study.

After sitting opposite each other, Jaehyun's mum began, "Sorry, but I am not aware of my son having a girlfriend or son, so do you mind explaining?"

"Sorry for turning up abruptly, I am Park Chaeyoung, and I work in the military hospital as a doctor. I don't really know Jaehyun-ssi well, but four years ago, there's a gathering after a military exercise where we both attended. I was drunk and I went back to my room first. I think he might have entered my room by accident and we..." Chaeyoung clutched her fists tightly as her voice faded towards the last sentence.

She then took a deep breath, before continuing "After that night, I found out that I was pregnant. I did not look for Jaehyun-ssi immediately as it was an accident. I planned to take care of the baby by myself but the baby is down with a condition, anemia. Due to my work, I was unable to give him my attention and don't have enough money to give him proper care. After much thoughts, I decided to look for your family. I am sorry but I had no other choice if I wished to ensure my son receives proper medical attention. I could agree to all your conditions, even if it meant that I don't get to see him again."

Chaeyoung's eyes reddened as her voice almost broke while saying all that. Her intentions were clear, she wanted her son to receive proper care and attention, even if it meant that she could no longer appear in his life again. She just wanted the best for her son.

After composing herself, she continued again, "I understand if you might not be able to believe me now, you can arrange for a DNA test if you wish to."

Jaehyun's mum nodded and gave a small smile, "Okay, let me get to the bottom of this first. Do you mind leaving your son here with us first?"

Chaeyoung nodded, then passed a bag over to Jaehyun's mum, "here is his diapers and milk powder, and a few sets of clothes. Oh, and here is my number, you may contact me to tell me your conditions too. Thank you for listening to me."

With that, Jaehyun's mum sent Chaeyoung out of their house. Before leaving, Chaeyoung took a quick glance at the living room to see Yeri playing with her son and her son did not seem to throw any tantrum either, so she left with a better peace of mind.

Jaehyun's mum then walked to the living room, and Yeri immediately asked, "Omma, so is he really Jaehyun oppa's son?"

"I am not sure, we got to check." Jaehyun's mum turned to Taeyong, "Arrange for a DNA test for this child." Taeyong nodded before proceeding to Jaehyun's room to get his toothbrush.

The little boy reached his hand out to grab Yeri's finger, then smiled at her, making her exclaim, "Look! The way he smile looks like Jaehyun oppa too!"

Their mum sighed and said, "Yeri ah, give your brother a call and get him back immediately. We will have to investigate this matter."
