I didn't expect to be writing again so soon but here I am. Last chapter was different for me to write because Ga Eul was originally not in Macau with them and as I have no idea what she would've done in her museum, I just vaguely described it.

Anyway, I'm sorry for making you wait so long but this past week has been very hectic... I had a lot of deadlines coming my way so I'm yet again sorry for not writing for over a week.


Ga Eul didn't know what to do. She had just settled back in Seoul with Ina when she was needed in America for an unknown amount of time. It could be a week or it could be three months, perhaps even more. She didn't want to subject Ina to that so she decided to leave her with her grandparents for the time she was gone and when she was back, she would have to think and talk with the F4 to see what they thought about the situation. Ga Eul had grown up a commoner so she was used to always having one adult around until she got kicked out but before that she always had someone. Woo Bin and Yi Jeong had grown up the life of the elite so they had more experience with this.

Yi Jeong...

The new businesswoman didn't know what to make of him after their trip to Macau. He hadn't touched a drink nor looked at women since they came back. Well, the women had also been before Macau but she knew he still went clubbing with Woo Bin from time to time. These days though Woo Bin had to beg him to come out but Yi Jeong wouldn't budge. Apparently he was working on this big project that he wanted to finish before school started up again. He'd locked himself up in his studio and no one's seen him since. The only communication Woo Bin has with the potter is through texts.

She had to leave before the end of the week and wanted to let him know herself so he wouldn't go back to his old ways of trashing his own life when she wasn't around. Which is how she had gotten to the studio to tell him but she was scared sh*tless.

She stepped inside, afraid of what she would find inside. Some part of her, despite knowing that he wasn't like that anymore, was expecting him to have a girl over but wasn't surprised when she found only him behind the wheel.

"Hey, Ga Eul. What are you doing here? I thought you were stuck in the office?" Yi Jeong asked when he saw her walk in. He stopped the wheel and looked at her, having missed her since he hadn't seen her since they returned from Macau. The look on her face didn't promise any good news and Yi Jeong already knew what she was going to tell him. "You're leaving again."

"I just got a call from the New York office that they need my help with the start up for a new club. Apparently there are some problems with the legal side as it has been used as some less-than-legal playground." Ga Eul explained, "I tried to send someone else but apparently they need the big boss who is in charge of it all so someone else is not good enough. I have no idea how long I'll be gone for though as Abigail made it sound as if it wasn't just that. I think there is more going on."

"What about Ina?"

"She's staying here but I have no idea how yet." Ga Eul smiled as his first question was what was to happen to her daughter, "I'm thinking of hiring a nanny even though it is the last thing I ever wanted to do. It's one of the things I hate about your world."

"Our world." He corrected, "You're a CEO now. A millionaire if not billionaire."

"Whatever, I just never thought that I would be hiring a nanny for one of my children. Even when I took over for Shi Hyun, I figured I would let the company go just enough so I could take care of my own children, I don't like a nanny taking over my job. I don't even like the person who watches over Ina during the day so I can work. I feel like I'm failing her so now I have to hand her over to some stranger for an unknown amount of time. It could only be a week or it could take up to two months."

"I know we're not your number one choice but how about you leave her to us? The F4? It'll be the safest she's ever been because you know that we would never let anything happen to her. Even Gu Jun Pyo loves her and would love to take care of her." He tried to convince her, "I know that you're skeptic but I know that she's stayed over with both Ji Hoo and Woo Bin. They adore her, I adore her and so does that Shinwha heir."

"Yeah but there is a difference between staying over and actually taking care of her full time. I don't know how long I'll be gone for and you know... you have a social life but with a child in the mix, you don't anymore." Ga Eul rambled, "I know that you mean good but this is crazy! You want to take my daughter in and to be honest, I never really saw you as a father. But I think it's a good idea to some extent. You guys are really great with her but you know... how would it work? When will she go where because it's not nothing. You guys are going to give a lot up and I think it'll be the easiest for Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo because they don't go clubbing. You and Woo Bin do."

"We don't, not anymore." He denied, "The club hadn't been attractive at all since you left over six months ago but I went out to numb the pain. When you came back though, with Ina, it changed. I stopped. Ever since Ina and Woo Bin started spending time together, he pulled back as well and is now actually more serious. Haven't you noticed that we're always around... on our own?"

"Well, yeah. I just thought you didn't do it when you know Ina was around. There are nights when there's complete radio silence as well so I figured those are the nights that you guys go out clubbing."

"Oh no, the only clubs Woo Bin enters are his own and that's purely for business you know? He's in during the day and the first hour and then he's out." He sighed, "Look, I have no idea how it would work but I'm sure the guys and I can work out some sort of schedule. This way Ina would also be with people she knows and likes and the difference wouldn't be too big, you know."

"I guess, yeah. I like the idea and I'll speak with Ina about it to see if she's up for it because she'd have to move around all the time." Another idea popped in her head, "Yi Jeong sunbae, what will your family think about you taking care of my daughter?"

"Aah, I was wondering how long it would take for you to ask about him." It wasn't a secret that So Yi Jeong's grandfather looked down on Ga Eul for first being a woman and secondly a single mom of a child that wasn't hers. "My grandfather knows who you and Ina are to me and what you mean to me. He knows you're not going anywhere and I told him to leave you guys be. If he ever tries to touch you or Ina, he knows that I will leave the family and he knows I mean it. I don't need the So family, they need me."

"Hmm, confident... I like it." She sighed again, looking at the clock. "Okay, I got to go now because Ina is coming home from school. Just to be clear, you're not making a big deal like the last time I left right?"

"No because I know now that you will come back here to Ina and to me and the others." He smiled his charming smile, "Hey and you know what, I will have a surprise ready for you when you come back."

"I'm looking forward to it, Yi Jeong."
