Author's Pov:

Minjee hugged Aera, "Everything will be fine, Aera". She nodded, "I wish the same, Minjee". Minjee released her from hug.

"Minjee", Aera called her, "Should I give him a second chance? Just for the sake of Jiho? I don't want him to suffer".

"It's your decision at the end Aera. I don't know", Minjee says, "I am a mother and a wife, Aera. If Jeonghan does something like this, my first priority would be Yuna".

"For me, Jiho is my first priority, Minjee. But I can't let go Mingyu and I don't know why! Everytime I look at him I remember him kissing his secretary but very next second I look into his eyes, I see him full guilty. I see fear. I want to slap him, curse at him but at the same time I want to hug him. I don't know why", Aera ran her hand through her hair.

Minjee took her hands and caressed it, "Mingyu means a lot to you, Aera and that's the reason. You love him and your love will always try ignore it. For you, he is a perfect person. Why don't you just go and talk to him? Maybe you can get a solution"

"Minjee, the problem is  he never shares what he feels. It is always me who turns out into argument. He just listens standing right infront of me with his head down", Aera said.

"Did Jiho asked about your marks?", Minjee asked. Aera shook her head, "He haven't asked anything. Today morning, he wanted to speak with Mingyu but he didn't pick up. He has been silent lately. He doesn't talk much".

Before anyone could talk, Jeonghan came, "Jiho is not here anymore, Aera. We need to talk about this", Jeonghan took a deep breathe, "What are going to do next?". He sat down infront of them.

"I haven't decided yet", Aera said fidgeting her fingers, "Everytime we talk, it turns into an argument. Jiho doesn't know anything. I don't know what to do". Aera told him everything that happened in few days.

"And you didn't even think of telling me?", he asked. "It's not like that, Jeonghan. I never wanted to trouble you. You have been there since I was young, I didn't want to trouble you anymore. You have your family now to take care of"

"Aren't you a part of my family, Aera? Just because you got married doesn't mean that my responsibilities as brother are over. You are still my sister and forever will be!", Jeonghan said. Minjee held Aera's hand, "Why don't you go and talk with him once more time, Aera. A solution might come out".

"Talk? What talk? Minjee, he cheated on her. I know he regrets doing that but do you think, everything will be fine after that. I can't let my sister live with him knowing this will always haunt her, even if she gives a second chance", Jeonghan said, his tone raising after each word.

"I have made a decision, Aera. Divorce him. I'll help you with everything. If you want I can handle the all your expenses", Jeonghan said. "Divorce? Jeonghan, it is not that easy for me to let him go just like that. What about Jiho? What should I tell him?", Aera said.

"He is just a child, Aera. Once he grows up, he himself will understand everything. Remember, this is not the first time we are experiencing this thing, it has happened before. I don't want you to end up like mother. You love him just like Eomma did once".

Tears formed in Aera's eyes, "You are right, Jeonghan. I am so much in love with him that it is really difficult for me to let him go but I am thinking about Jiho too, Jeonghan. Because, I sometimes see you and me in him".

"Don't forget, Aera. Our mother gave him so many chances just for us. Why can't you see the similarities, Aera!! Why can't you? That time, Eomma did the same thing, you are doing that too. Appa even regretted doing that but once she came back saying she is pregnant, he left us", Jeonghan shouted.

Their talks were slowly converting into a fight. Minjee stood there trying to calm down Jeonghan whose eyes were red because of anger.

"But Jeonghan, didn't you have an emotional break down when Appa left? Because you were closest to him. Didn't you cry at nights missing him? Aren't you still trying to get close to him, just because you miss him and because you still want that fatherly affection?", Aera shouted back.

"Aera, I am talking for your good. Can't you see you are hurting yourself? Can't you see Jiho who has become so quiet since he came here? Just as you said Aera, I, too see you and me in him. I see my young self, I don't want you or Jiho to be stuck in past like I did. I-", Jeonghan suddenly sat down holding his head. Minjee and Aera rushed to him. Jeonghan took a deep breathe, "I am thinking for your good, Aera. I brought you here because I know, you can't ignore him ,as days go,you will get more attached to him and it will be hard for you later. In between you both Jiho will be crushed, Aera". His tone was calm this time.

"You are still young, Aera. You have a life ahead, I am afraid that you might get hurt at end. You already had enough problems in your life, I don't want that to be more. Just divorce him, Aera. Just like you both, he is hurting himself too", Jeonghan said.

Aera nodded, "I will do everything you want, Jeonghan but please let Jiho meet Mingyu, please". Jeonghan looked at her for a second and nodded.

"E-Eomma?", all the three heads turned to Jiho who was looking at his mother with a scared face. "Jiho", Aera ran to him but he moved back. Behind him came Mingyu who was unaware of what us going on.

"W-Why are you both fighting? A-Are you leaving Appa? Will I never meet him?", he asked. Even if he was 5, Jiho was smart enough to understand. Jiho held his father's hand.

"Jiho, please-", Aera stopped seeing Jiho turning his gaze away from her. "Appa, why are you not saying anything? Even you don't want me, just like Eomma?", he asked. Aera closed her eyes.

"Jiho-ya, it is nothing like that. Eomma and Appa both love you", Mingyu said. "No Appa, she doesn't. She didn't keep her promise", Jiho cried.

Before anyone could say anything, Minjee interrupted, "Jiho, I have brought some new clothes for Yuna, come and tell me which one look her best". Jiho looked at Aera and Mingyu, leaving his father's hand, he went with Minjee.

As soon as Jiho went, Aera burst out into tears. Mingyu wanted to hug her but Jeonghan stopped him. "This is the reason Jeonghan I never wanted him to know this. I knew he wouldn't take this easily. Now, he thinks I don't want him".

"Aera, he is just a child. Don't take his words seriously.  Let him take some time", Jeonghan rubbed her shoulder. Aera suddenly got up and said, "Let's start from beginning, Mingyu. I am giving you a second chance".

"What?", Jeonghan whispered. "You are not stopping me today Jeonghan. Did you see how Jiho reacted? I don't want him to suffer nor I want him to go away from me", Aera said.

Jeonghan shook his head, "I am not arguing with you anymore", saying this he went to his room leaving Mingyu and Aera alone.

"I-I", Mingyu stopped not knowing what to say next. "I am giving this second chance just for Jiho, Mingyu", Aera said leaving Mingyu alone there.

Mingyu sighed and left from there, "I should be happy, shouldn't I? She is giving me a second chance which I wanted but why am I not happy? Why?". He rested his head on steering wheel.

Soon his attention diverted to his phone, "Eunji?". He decided not to pick up the call. But seeing the amount of times she was calling he picked up to hear sobs on other side,

"M-Mingyu, please come at my house. I want to talk about something. It is really important"

Mingyu hearing her sobs, couldn't say no to her.

"I am coming"

Keeping his phone aside, his eyes landed on Aera who standing by the window, looking at him. She closed the curtains.

At Eunji's house:

Mingyu was about to open the door but noticed it was already opened. "Eunji", he called her out but getting no response he entered inside her house.

Hearing the sobs from her room, he entered in. He felt uncomfortable remembering the time when he promised himself not to cheat but very day next, he came here and broke the promise.

He saw Eunji hugging herself, blanket covering her body, her room a mess. "Eunji", he said standing beside her bed.

Eunji got up, "M-Mingyu", she whispered and hugged him. She kept weeping, Mingyu couldn't say anything and let her hug him.

"Eunji, why did you call me", Mingyu asked trying to break free from her hug but as much he tried, she kept sticking to him. His shirt was wet because of her tears. She continously shook her head while hugging him.

After having enough, he shouted, "Can you tell me what happened? I am having enough problems in my life right now, Eunji. I just came here because you called. Tell me what happened?".

Eunji flinched because of his sudden loud voice, "P-Please don't shout. I'll tell you".

"Then tell me", Mingyu asked. But what he heard next made shook him through his core.

"M-Mingyu, I-I am p-pregnant with y-your child"
