Jeju , South Korea

Jake was now in Jeju finally , he just felt that the place hides something important that he must dig it up . He feels that he can find something significant for him to finally get back his memories and his life .

" Mr. Sim Jaeyun , glad to finally meet you " One of the investors, actually the biggest and the chairman of the board spoke , whilst having a mocking tone . He just felt Jake wasn't that worthy to be the next CEO . The are others who were more deserving than Jake in his opinion .. mich like he was one of the others .

Jake then offered his hand for them to shake , " it's also my pleasure Mr . Kim" he also felt that the older was somewhat doesn't want him to be there .

He then went to shake hands with other members of the board . Then took the seat at the center as he was now the CEO of the company that was empty for quite some time .

Mr. Kim , though he doesn't want to announce it stands up to finally proclaim Jake's rights on the company as the heir of the Sim family .

" I hereby announce , our new CEO , Mr. Sim Jaeyun " he ended his remark with a forced clap that didn't go unnoticed by Jake . This old man is really getting into his nerves .

Everyone stands up to clap their hands , welcoming him . . And congratulated him .

Jake cleared his throat as he started to speak ,

" Good day everyone , I , Sim Jaeyun will do my very best to run this company on it's high peak ."

He then continued to say his speech and some of the board were whispering something like he's incompetent , he's still young and he doesn't deserve the position . Though they've been hushing , he could still clearly hear them .

In his opinion , yes , he was young but he can compete to those oldies in terms of managing business tho he doesn't have experience yet . Or maybe he's just ahead of himself and quit along the way . He still needs supervision , he admit that but he'll do everything he can or overexert his own skills just to prove them he was worth it .

After the board meeting , he was situated on his new office .. he scans the place and smiled , this is what his parents want and he'll do anything in his might to fullfil their wish .

A knock was soon heard from the door , then the sliding door opened , revealing a middle aged woman .

" Mr. Sim , I'm sorry but we fail to find a secretary for you .. but the application is on going , I'll be your secretary for a while " she said and Jake nodded .

" Just hire someone as soon as possible , it's not that I don't want you to be my secretary but you must need one for me . " He commanded and the lady nodded " and please , it's better to the same age as me so she can cope up with my pace since I'll be going out sometimes . It should be a girl . Guys are sometimes stubborn , I hate stubborn people " he added and the lady made sure to take note of it .

" Woah , can you believe that coby is now one year old ?" Their mom said while carrying the baby .

Today is baby coby's birthday or shall we say Jacob . They're now at the resort taehyun's family owned and the place where Ni-ki do his part time . Jazmine decided to celebrate her son's first birthday here as taehyun was insisting , again that she can't help but accept the offer once again but they'll pay for the expenses in return . She doesn't want to be a burden to the boy anymore . He already helped a lot .

Ni-ki on the other hand was excelling in his studies and earning much on his part times most importantly because of the show every saturday night where he usually dance .

" Coby's growing and I need to work for his needs " Jazmine said to her mom

" Why ? I can pay for the bills and buy our food .. you don't have to work also . Who'll take care of your baby if you're gone to work ?"

" We'll just hire someone mom , if I can find a job .. I can finally help you and I can buy coby's needs . " Her mom sighed, it is true they needed money for coby but can they just trust someone to take care the baby ? It's risky to do that , much more it's a stranger .

" I can ask taehyun for help in finding a trusted babysitter mom , I know , he knew someone since he's been here all his life . He can recommend me one if I'll just tell him "

" Stop depending on that young man . i know he's always willing to help you but don't overuse it ." Her mom said , she has a point tho ..

" Yeah I know mom , just this once . I don't want to be a burden to you anymore and I can leave coby now so I can work . I'll just take care of him at night . " She explained .. wanting her mom to understand her point

Soon her mom nodded .

" F that's what you want , Ni-ki will stop working part time here at the resort but he can continue his dancing shows .. I can't take that from him , it's his hobby ever since " Her mom demanded ,

On the other hand , Ni-ki was listening to them ..

" What ? Why would I stop doing part time ?" He suddenly spoke that startled the two ladies

" Ni-ki , I need to work so I'll hire a babysitter to take care of coby . And instead you come here after school , I suggest you to come home early to watch on coby . But you still can do the shows on Saturdays " she explained and Ni-ki just hummed in response

" Okay ?? So , who will you hire to babysit him ? That should be trustworthy or else I'll kick them on their ass if I see even a little scratch or bruise on coby" he protectively stated and took the baby from their mom . Thankfully the baby wasn't sleeping .

" We'll see , I need taehyun's help with that . Don't worry . All we have to focus now is coby's birthday " she said and went back to the party since the baby is awake .

...

" HAPPY BIRTHDAY COBY !!! " Everyone cheered as the baby happily giggled as if he really knows what's happening .

" Wow ! My baby is growing ~" taehyun suddenly spoke at Jazmine's back . She turned around in surprise

" I thought you're on duty ?? Why are you here ?"

" Well , surprise !! Kidding , took a day off today, that's why " he answers then looked at the baby who makes grabby hands to him

" Aww , come on here coby !" He took the baby who's excited to be in his arms .

Jazmine stared at them , they're perfect together . She just wished Jake was also here . So he can see his child having it's first birthday . But no , he won't ever know that they have a child .

" I'll take you both a picture " she said then fetch her phone on her pocket .

" Baby , look at me " she softly said , catching coby's attention but taehyun spoke " I am looking at you "

" Silly , you're not the baby .. Coby is " she said then chuckled .. sometimes taehyun is being so funny and adorable

" Just kidding , now baby .. look at mommy , she'll take our picture " he said to the baby and as if the baby understands , he smiled and stared at the camera while his drool drops on taehyun's arms which he doesn't care then also smiled at the camera .. actually , smiling at Jazmine .

" Jaz , do you ever think of us .. being together ?" He suddenly spoke that made Jazmine to lower his hand that's holding her phone .

Come to think of it , taehyun has been there ever since and accepted her even she had coby . He helped her by all means and been there whenever she needed company . Sure , taehyun is a reliable person but did she think of that ? Her and taehyun being together ??

" Uhmm , I really don't know hyun .. why is that ?"

" I think , coby needs a daddy now " he blurted and if she was eating now , she probably choked

" Huh ?! Why do you think of that ?"

" I just want to be yours .. " he finally said , all the time he was with her , he really wanted to tell that . He only had the courage this time .

" Wait are you really-" " I like you Jaz "

She went silent after she heard that . Why would he fall for her ? She had a child .. she doesn't have work . She's a burden to her mom who's working so hard just to support the three of them including Ni-ki . Taehyun must have gone insane .

" I can't hyun , I'm not good for you . I mean , I have a baby now . You better find someone who's single and not someone like me " .

" But you're the one I love , and I also love coby . I can be his dad "

" You know I still lo-"

" I can help you move on Jaz , " he pleaded , coby was now sleeping amidst of the conversation between the adults .

" Okay , but I can't promise you anything hyun . We're friends and I don't want to ruin it "

" I won't expect you to magically love me back , just trust me on this one Jaz . I'll prove it to you . And if ever you really can't love me back , just say it to me I'll accept it . Just let me make you feel you are loved " and with that , her eyes teared that she didn't even noticed . She just can't believe someone like taehyun would ever like her . Maybe she'll give him a chance .
