Hans and David decided to meet at the restaurant near the hospital. It is the usual place where Everly and he used to dine whenever she visits him.Hans arrived earlier than David at the restaurant. He already made a reservation already so he was guided to the private room. After 10 minutes of waiting, David arrived.“So, why do you want us to meet? It’s unusual for you to initiate a meet-up.” Hans said with a chuckle. He can only count on one hand the times David invited him to hang out. Usually, it’s him who would ask him to come out. On top of that, it would take him a long time to drag David out of his room.“It’s about what I discovered yesterday.”Hans raised his eyebrows, exceptionally confused. “If it’s about yesterday, then Everly should be here as well to hear it. She has to know about it.”However, David shook his head. “No, the reason I wanted to meet with you alone is because of your girlfriend, Everly Park. I discovered something that I think you should know.”“Wait… Wai
Another day had started. Everly’s schedule had been back to normal. It wasn’t the same as before when she didn’t have even a small time for resting because of how packed her schedule was.She didn’t know what’s gotten into her new manager, Manager Song, and why’s there a sudden change. She looked more approachable and she didn’t deliberately mess up her work unlike before.All in all, everything went smoothly and she worked peacefully these past few days.“Everly, I will be having a meeting with the director later for your next concert. So, I will be leaving you here to finish the photo shoot. You can handle it, right?” Louisse asked while they were in the dressing room.Everly looked at her through the mirror and nodded. “Of course, Manager Song. You can leave in peace. We’ll handle it from here.”Louisse smiled approvingly and left after saying her goodbye. Manager Kim immediately approached Everly and can’t help but voiced her doubts. “What’s gotten into her? She’s acting weird lat
Mary woke up from the sound of the beeping machine and the smell of disinfectant. As she opened her eyes, what she first saw is the white ceiling with a bright light making her eyes hurt a little.She tried to move her hands but it was a bit hard for them to move. She weakly moved her eyes to the side and saw Manager Kim silently peeling an apple on the table. “Manager Kim” she weakly said.Her voice sounded so small and so weak. Manager Kim raised her head and saw that Mary had opened her eyes. “You are awake, finally. What do you need? Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?”Mary shook her head. “What happened to me? Where am I?”Manager Kim placed the fruit knife together with the peeled apple on the small plate at the side. “You are in the hospital. You fainted so they rushed you here. Fortunately, you didn’t bump your body hard on the ground, or else, you might have lost your baby.”Mary stared wide-eyed at her. “What?! Manager Kim… How did-”Manager Kim held her hand and gentl
“Manager Kim, can you sit down for a moment?! You’ve been going round and round and I’m getting dizzy because of you.” Director Jackson commented.Manager Kim immediately glared at him which made him shut his mouth. “How can I calm down?! Those two brats won’t ever listen to me! Mary wanted to keep her child and raised the child alone without the father! I don’t even have an idea who the father is!” She huffed in full anger just by thinking of it.“And that stubborn Everly! She really won’t let me rest! She just agreed to Mary’s decision! She even offered to help her in supporting the child! Does that even make sense!”After the discussion, Manager Kim won’t call a discussion since they didn’t ask for her opinion at all and just directly went ahead with their own decision right away.They just called her o
“I really don’t know what happened. I was just drinking at the bar that night. You know me when I drink, I don’t know when to stop so I think I passed out. And the next thing I knew, I’m already inside a hotel room alone.” Jonathan explained exasperatedly.The fright he felt that time when he woke up, with no clothes on his body. The only evidence that something happened that night is the stains of blood on the white bed cover.He knew instantly he messed up that night. He just slept with a stranger and what’s worst is that she was a freaking virgin!“And you didn’t even try to find her?!” Hans shouted in frustration. This is why he really can’t trust Jonathan on his own. He would end up messing things up.Just look at what happened right now, he slept with a person whom he can’t even remember! A
Everly, together with Manager Kim, Director Jackson, and Mary’s family sent Mary to the airport. Today is the scheduled date for Mary to fly abroad.This is the result of their serious discussion on their stay at the hospital. After Manager Kim suggested having Mary’s child be raised by another parent, Everly heavily disagreed while Mary was having second thoughts about it.Of course, Mary knew the seriousness of her situation. With no one to support the child aside from her, it would be very difficult for her to raise the child on her own.She also doesn’t want Everly to keep shouldering her burden. She knew that Everly just wanted to help but it was not right to bring her into her troubled life. She would feel uncomfortable and it will be unfair to Everly.So, after a few days of thinking, Mary finally decided to do what Manager Kim had suggested. After she gives birth to the child, she will send it for adoption. Director Jackson also assured her that he will find good parents for h
After that was dropped by Hans, Jonathan immediately dashed outside the office. Hans followed him right after, “Nurse Trina, cancel my appointments for the rest of the day. I have something important to do.”After leaving some words, he rushed towards the parking area to run after Jonathan. Just in time, before the elevator closes, he managed to catch up to him. “Where are you going?”“Airport” Jonathan’s short reply. His eyes stared at the elevator floor, hoping for it to reach the basement parking immediately. His foot tapping the cold-tile floor, showing impatience.‘Why is the elevator so slow in working?! I should raise this complaint to the hospital management!’ he silently complained.Hans frowned at his reply and retorted back, “What are you going to the airport? Stop Mary from leaving?… I told you, the flight has already taken off. Unless if there’s some plane or turbulence issue, then the flight might have been delayed.”“No, I have to see it for myself… I know she’s still t
“What?!… That was you?!” Manager Kim exploded. So, it was Dr. Jonathan Han! The one who knocked up their dearest Mary!Everly was equally stupefied as Manager Kim. She had never once thought that the father of Mary’s child was Dr. Han… How did they even end up sleeping with each other?! When did it happen?! How was that possible?!Instead of answering, Jonathan just nodded his head.“You knew about it?” Everly accusingly looked at Hans. Except for him, no one had this calm expression after Jonathan’s revelation.Hans responded with an affirmation. “But, I just learned about it a while ago.”“How did this happen?! How did you and Mary end up…” Everly can’t find the right words to continue. She was still in complete shock right now.Jonathan lowered his head in embarrassment. He was so ashamed of himself right now. He also knew about it today.When he went back to the bar, the bartender who was on duty that night had sick leave. He just came back to work last night so the Manager of the
