Hwoarang spent the night over at Asuka's mansion. He slept in the bedroom right next to Hyo's. Hyo's bedroom was between Hwoarang's and Asuka's bedroom. Hwoarang finally woke up at nine o'clock on a Monday morning. He pulled out his overnight bag and took it to the bathroom. He took a quick shower and brushed his teeth. He finally got dressed and headed down the stairs. He went down the stairs to see Asuka cooking breakfast. Hyo was patiently waiting on the breakfast table for his food to be served. Hyo was not to attend school until ten o'clock.
"Good morning, dad," Hyo greeted his father.
"Good morning, son," Hwoarang told him as he ruffled Hyo's hair.
Asuka finally finished cooking and brought all the food to the breakfast table.
"Okay, so here's all your favorites, you two," Asuka said, "there's eggs benedicts, buttermilk pancakes, homemade strawberry and grape jelly with toast, meat and vegetable omelets, and hand squeezed orange juice."
"You remembered what I like for breakfast?" Hwoarang asked confused.
"How can I forget? You made me make these almost every day when we were still married. And Hyo surprisingly likes the same food you like," she said as she looked down at her plate.
"So, how's school?" Asuka asked Hyo.
"Oh mom, there's this five day camp my preschool goes to for the spring break. It's a family camp," he said as he gobbled down his toast.
"A family camp?" Hwoarang asked confused.
"Yeah, you know a mom, a dad, and their kid all in one camp with other families?" Hyo said.
"Hyo, we're going to attend it," Asuka assured her son.
"How about dad?" he asked.
"Well, he's always working; he's too busy," she said.
"Mom, the carpool is here," Hyo told her, "Mrs. Komodo is beeping her horn."
"Okay, tell her I said thank you!" Asuka said as Hyo ran out the door.
"I am not too busy," Hwoarang mumbled.
"Oh please, when we were married, all you cared about was winning your cases," Asuka argued.
"Well, I'm going to the camp with you two," he told her.
"You won't last a day there. Remember when we got engaged, we went camping with Steve and Lili? You were complaining the whole time on how you missed riding your motorcycle," Asuka teased him.
"Well, I will have to endure this then, wouldn't I?" he asked.
"Yeah, I guess so," she said.
"By the way, I want to introduce Hyo to my girlfriend," Hwoarang told Asuka.
"Oh yeah?" she asked uninterested.
"Yeah, I invited her here tonight. I asked her to have dinner over here," Hwoarang informed her.
"Oh, okay," she said staring at him blankly.
Then her phone rang. It was a text message. Asuka took out her phone and then read it. She rolled her eyes and put it away.
"Who was that?" he asked her.
"Miguel; he wants to have dinner tonight again," she said.
"Man, that guy must be crazy for you then," Hwoarang said laughing uncomfortably.
Asuka tilted her head. She was studying his reaction.
"What if he is?" she asked.
"Well, then, I guess I would have to knock his head off," he said.
"Well, you don't have the right to do that anymore," she said firmly.
Then, Hwoarang's phone rang.
"Hello?" he asked.
Asuka was listening very carefully.
"Oh, yes, Ms. Kazama is with me. I'll put it on speaker," he said.
"Who is it?" Asuka asked.
"It's Judge Tsubaki Smith," he said.
"Hello, judge," Asuka greeted.
"Good morning, Ms. Kazama," she greeted back.
"I have some very important news to tell you both," she said.
"I was trying to change Hyo's surname to Skye, and I made a shocking discovery. Your divorce papers were never filed. You both are still married. Your divorce files are nowhere to be found," she said, "his last name was Skye all along."
"How can this be? I filed those papers myself," Hwoarang protested.
"We don't know. The files are missing. We can't find them in the filing cabinet or on the computer. It was like it never happened," she explained.
"UGHHH!" Asuka exclaimed.
"I just wanted to inform you two about that," she told them, and then she hung up the phone.
"Ugh, I'm a Skye," Asuka said in disgust.
"Hey, what's wrong with being a Skye?" Hwoarang asked defensively.
"Nothing; and you know what's funny? It's so ironic on how now that we're married, and that you're dating a model, you're the one that's cheating on me!" Asuka said.
"Well, it doesn't count," he said, "I thought we were divorced already."
"And you know what? I bet you're still going to be dating her," Asuka said.
Hwoarang remained speechless.
After a few hours, Hwoarang and Asuka went to pick up Hyo.
"Mom, I'm hungry!" Hyo reported to Asuka.
"Okay, let's go to McDonald's," Asuka said.
When they entered McDonald's, Hyo went straight to the play place. Asuka and Hwoarang got in line.
"Hey, we don't even know what Hyo wants," Hwoarang told Asuka.
"I know what he wants; he wants a happy meal, the one with four pieces of chicken nuggets, and he wants hi-c orange juice with it. He also wants the best looking toy for boys," Asuka said.
"Wow, you're an expert," Hwoarang laughed.
"Well, that's what I learned of being a mother for four years," she said.
Hwoarang was about to tell her something, until he looked at the cashier's face. The face looked familiar. He looked at Asuka and Asuka seemed to recognize his face also.
"Hello, ma'am and sir, what can I get you today?" he asked.
"I know you," Hwoarang said.
"Me too," Asuka said in shock.
"Uhm, no, you do not know me," the cashier said nervously.
"You're the guy Asuka cheated on me with!" Hwoarang shouted.
"Sir, sir, please don't make a scene! I'll come talk to you in five minutes! I promise I'll come to explain things to you! Please don't make a scene! I will get fired," he begged.
Hwoarang then ordered the food and both of them went to find a table. In a few minutes, the man appeared.
"Boy, you got a lot of explaining to do," Asuka told the man rudely.
"Well, first, I would like to introduce myself properly. My name is Ken Uchia. I know that our first encounter was not a good one, but I felt guilty after what I did. Your mother hired me," he said to Hwoarang.
"What?" Hwoarang asked confused.
"Your step mother hired me to pretend that I was sleeping with Asuka because he strongly hated her. She never cheated on you," he clarified.
"You bastard, you made me file a divorce against my innocent wife!" Hwoarang said as his face turned red with rage.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I have to go now; my boss is waiting for me," he said.
Asuka just laughed.
"Imagine, it took four years for you to know the truth," Asuka laughed.
"Asuka, how can you be laughing at this situation?" he asked her.
"Well, I guess it's because I'm tired of crying. I have cried so much, that I think it's impossible for me to cry anymore on the subject of you leaving me with a son to raise all by myself," she said.
"I'm so sorry, I'll make everything up to you. I'll be a good husband to you and a good father to Hyo," he assured her, "just let us starts all over."
"I'm sorry," Asuka apologized insincerely, "I'm still filing the divorce against you. You left me alone for four years. And your promises aren't going to make the pain go away."
"What do I have to do to make you come back to me?" Hwoarang asked.
"Oh come on! It's not like you love me anymore!" Asuka shouted.
"I still love you! I tried to not love you anymore, but I just can't. I couldn't delete my love for you in my heart for those four years," he said.
"Well, I guess you're just going to have to prove that you love me," she said.
