    Jaebum walked up towards the restaurant then kneeled down next to his son. "Can you please be on your best behavior for me. I'm seeing some friends that I haven't seen since you were born." He smoothed Ji-ho hair back a bit but then messed it up slightly because he liked it better that way. The little boy looked up at his father with a smile and nodded. Jaebum smiled then straightened back up and walked with him into the restaurant where he found Youngjae sitting by himself. He walked up to the table. "Hey Youngjae." He said as he watched Youngjae stand up and they hugged. "This is Ji-ho. He is my mini me." He chuckled but he was definitely nervous about them meeting.

    "Rhea, you look great. It's just dinner with Youngjae and I. I think Youngjae might of invited one of the guys that he hangs out with but come on, it's fine." Ember says as she leans against Rhea's bedroom doorway. Rhea asked Ember to come here so they could show up together and Ember didn't mind that. Youngjae had been acting strangely towards her and she didn't want to sit around making small talk. "Don't give me that look. It's not going to be him. Youngjae and him haven't talked much." She said checking her time. She watched Rhea stand up and grab her things. Ember sent Youngjae a quick text telling him they were on their way and be there in 10 minutes.

    Rhea gave Ember a suspicious look when she was fold that Mark had invited one of the guys to join them for dinner. She was afraid that Mark had invited Jaebum although it's been 3 years since they broke up. However she sighed in relief when Ember confirmed it wasn't him. "Either way, this is starting to feel like a blind double date. And I've told you guys that I dont want to date again." She said the last part more quietly, then sighed, knowing that Ember wasn't going to let her bail out of dinner, especially when she practically begged her to join. "Fine let's just get this over with." Rhea said, grabbing her purse and keys.
    Youngjae smiled, seeing his best friend for the first time in a few years, but looked down and smiled Jaebum's son. "He looks exactly like you, man." He chuckled before crouching down to Ji-ho's level. "Nice to meet you buddy. I'm Uncle Youngjae." He said and high-fived the little boy before standing back up. "Fuck, man. It's been too long. How have you been? How's the dad life?"

    Jaebum chuckled, sitting down, and pulling Ji-ho on his lap. "So are you going to ever tell her your feelings for her?" He asked probably shocking Youngjae that he even knew. He thought that Ember was probably the only one that didn't know Youngjae feelings. "It's been at least 3 years. Aren't you tired of being just friends, man?" Jaebum watched him as Youngjae rolled his eyes. "Tell Uncle Youngjae to man up." He said as he squeezed his son side causing him to giggle.

    Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    "It's really not. I just want to hang out with you and Youngjae invited me to dinner. I didn't want to bail on either of you." Ember said. Youngjae and her has been friends for at least 5 years now. Rhea and Ember have been friends for about a little longer. Rhea use to date Youngjae group mate Jaebum. "I promise its not a blind date nor a double date. Youngjae and I are just friends." I said. We've been friends for so long that I don't think he even considers me anything other than that and I'm fine with that.

    Rhea shook her head slightly, but shrugged her shoulders. She knew that Youngjae like Ember and that she liked him back, but she didnt understand why they hadn't told each other yet. "You should tell him, you know." Rhea said as she grabbed her jacket and purse. "Come on let's go before I change my mind."
    Youngjae rolled his eyes. "I didnt make it that obvious. Besides, i told you only because you begged me too." He said, trying to make himself feel better, but it didnt, so he sighed. "But yeah I'm tired of being just strictly friends with Ember, but I know she doesnt like me like the way I do about her. So why tell her when i know she'll reject me."

    "What? I don't like him. Besides he could have anybody he wanted so why pick someone lame like her. She shrugged and started towards the door. "When are you ever going to date again, Rhea?" Ember watched her friend throw hee jacket on and they headed out the door, towards the restaurant where everybody would be at.

    Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    "I've kept that sealed since you've told me. You don't know if she'd reject you if you don't try. Want me to talk to her. Ji-ho can hook you up. "Jaebum laughed as he looked over at his son then over at Youngjae. He was shaking his head no. "Oh why not? You two would make a great couple and your babies would be cute as hell too. " Jaebum chuckled.

    "Yes you do. You make it so obvious that you like him. The only person who is oblivious to your feelings is Youngjae." Rhea told her, playfully rolling her eyes at Ember. She then shook her head when her friend changed the subject about her love life, which has been nonexistent since Jaebum left her. But it isnt the first time that a guy she has dated left her for another woman. However it was different when it was Jaebum, because she was so in love with him, he was her soulmate, the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. But his then he left her for his ex because she wanted him to be in their child's life. At that time Rhea was distraught, but now that it's been a few years, she shouldve known that he would leave her like the rest, because his baby momma would always meddle with their relationship when she was his ex.

    Shaking her head away from the thoughts about her ex, Rhea looked at Ember. "Never. Every relationship I've ever been, the guy has always gone back to their ex. But with Jaebum it was worse. I'm tired of going through that. So if I stay single, I won't ever be hurt again. But let's not talk about me or my loveless life. Items not important." She said, shutting down any chance of Ember to reason with her.
    Youngjae choked on his drink when Jaebum mentioned babies. "Whoa man, slow your roll. I'm not even thinking that far. Besides I dont know if she wants kids or not..." he said, wiping his mouth with his napkin. "I rather play it safe and keep our friendship than to lose her because I made her uncomfortable by telling her that I have feelings for her." He said and then looked at Ji-ho, who was not even paying any attention to anyone but the coloring she he was working on. "So you and his mother are done for real this time?" Knowing that Jaebum and Ji-ho's mother have been on and off since he had left Rhea for her. When he saw Jaebum nod, he was happy for his friend. "So that means you're moving back to the area for good?"

    Ember took the hint to drop the subject about her relationships or lack of. "Can I ask you something though?" Ember held the door for her friend as they walked out onto the street towards the restaurant. "How did you know you were in love with him?" She asked looking over at Rhea but didn't get a response right away only a shrug. "I'm not trying to bring up that bad memories but Youngjae and I aren't dating at all but my feelings really are all over?" Ember has never been in love before and she was totally fine with being just friends with Youngjae.

    Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Jaebum sighed heavily and ran his fingers through his sons hair. "Yeah, I think it's done for real. I need to be away from her and think of my health and my son instead of dealing with her." He said as he fixed Ji-ho's hair after he messed it up. "I'm thinking about moving back but it is something that I have to talk with his mother. She would lose her shit if I just up and moved him away." He said taking a drink of his water. "Anything new happened with you besides not growing a pair yet?" Jaebum teased him

    Rhea sighed softly, but decided to tell her. She hoped it would encourage her to talk to Youngjae. "Well it started with how much I enjoyed being around Jaebum whether we were out on some fun adventure or just sitting at home, cuddling in bed watching some shitty movie. Then it went to not wanting to think or experience a future without him. Like I would get sad when he had to go home and couldn't stay the night with me or when and the guys had to go on tour. Then it turned to me wanting to do anything for him because I loved him so much." She paused to quickly wipe her tears away that had slipped, mentally cursing herself that she allowed him to make her cry. "Jaebum made me feel things that I've never felt before, not even the guys ive dated in the past made me feel as happy, safe, and loved as Jaebum did. So I guess that's how I knew I was in love him..." Rhea looked at the window, not wanting to talk anymore about this or him.
    Youngjae glared at Jaebum before calling him a jackass, but only loud enough for Jaebum to hear. "Whatever man. Besides that, I got chosen to play a part in this web tv series through Netflix. We already started shooting a few episodes, but they won't air until another month or two. Then I will be working on my solo music project afterwards." He says then sighs as he looked at the time on his phone, wondering where Ember was right now. "You know, if you do end up moving back, you can with me until you find a place in town. Besides, Yezi shouldn't make a big deal about you and Ji-ho moving, especially when she keeps disappearing for months at a time because she doesnt want to be a mom." Youngjae says and takes a sip of his drink.

    Ember felt horrible causing Rhea to cry. "Shit, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bring that up. I just...confused, I guess." She said rubbing her friends back. "I'll quit talking about this stuff." Ember said as they make it to the restuarant. "Also I promise you that this isn't a doube date." She grabbed the door handle and looked back at Rhea to see if she wanted to still hang out. Ember didn't know the whole story of why Rhea and Jaebum broke up but she could of guessed mostly of it.

    Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Jaebum smiled at Youngjae for the nice offer and he might consider it but he needee to find his own place. Especially if Yezi would do anything she has threaten before. He couldn't lose his son to his mother that could give two fucks about him. His nose flared just thinking about losing Ji-ho over anything. He shook his head. "Thanks! Maybe a few days would be fine. I can't risk Yezi taking my son away." He said looking up when he saw two woman walking into the restaurant. Jaebum froze as he watched the girl he haa been in love with for over three years walk into the restaurant.

    Rhea shook her head, "It's okay I'm not mad at you. I'm just mad at myself that I continue to let the thought of him make me this upset." She said, the dried her eyes and face before getting out of the car. She nodded at Ember's statement before following her inside the restaurant. When they approached where Youngjae was sitting, Rhea noticed another person sitting with him. "I thought you said it was just going to be us three, not a fourth person." She said and pointed towards the person, but then she saw that the extra person was her ex. At that moment, Rhea instantly got pissed. "Why the fuck is he here? Why did you invite him?"
    Youngjae looked at Jaebum when he went silent all of a sudden. He saw that his face went pale and he was about to go check on him until he heard a familiar voice approaching by, sounding pissed. He looked behind and saw Ember with Rhea, who she was trying to calm down. "Fuck!" Youngjae cursed at himself under his breath. He had forgot that Ember invited Rhea to join them for dinner, but he had expected her to decline like she normally does. He was happy to see Jaebum back in town, he invited him over to join him and Ember for dinner, without really talking it over with her first. "Rhea, don't be mad at Ember, she had nothing to do with this. It's my fault."

    Ember jumped slightly as Rhea raised her voice. She didn't do well with loud noises and she definitely didn't want Rhea to be upset with her. "I'm sorry. I didn't know it was going to be Jaebum." She said quietly but glanced over at Jaebum. "I did tell you Youngjae invited someone else though but I really didn't know it was him. I swear, Rhea." She said watching Youngjae stand up then offer them both a seat. Ember looked over at her to see what she would do.

    Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Jaebum watched Rhea shout at Ember but Youngjae stood up quickly to stop her yelling. I look over at Ji-ho who was looking up at the scene. "Can we all settle down and just have a nice dinner as friends?" He stood as Youngjae offered them a seat. He waited until they sat down. "Don't be mad at either of them. I showed up at Youngjae earlier." Jaebum was upset with how pissed Rhea was. He looked over at her as she looked at the small child next to him.

    Rhea felt bad for yelling at Ember, especially since she knew that Ember wouldn't have invited her if she knew that Jaebum was coming. But she was really pissed that her ex was there. Rhea shouldve just decline the offer to have dinner with them, but she knew that they were worried about her. When she heard Jaebum speak, she glared at him. "Shut the fuck up Jaebum. You and I are not friends. We're not anything and will never be anything again." She said angrily, but then looked over and saw a little boy who looked no more than 3 years old and was a mini replica of Jaebum, staring at her with soft sad eyes. She instantly knew that it was his son, the one his ex gave birth to. Ember felt that he had witnessed her yelling and cursing at his father, but all those memories with Jaebum are being brought back and making her angry. "I can't do this. I'm going home." She said and turned around to walk back outside and call for an uber since Ember drove them.
    Youngjae sighed, he really didnt think that Rhea would explode like that because of having Jaehum over for dinner. He looked over at Ember, who looked shaken up. He went over there to hug her to calm her down. "Hey, it's okay. I got you." He held her close and rocking her. "I honestly didnt think she would be this mad about Jaebum being here." He said and sighed, before looking at Jaebum. "Sorry about that man, I hope Ji-ho is okay." He says, feeling bad about the situation.

    Ji-ho looked at his dad and frowned softly. "Who was that, daddy? And why is she sad?" He pointed in the direction that Rhea left.

    Ember hugged him back but also wanted to go after Rhea but she liked that Youngjae was holding her. She watched her friend walk back out of the restaurant. "Now she'll never want to hang out again." She said looking at him then at Jaebum who was watching the door. "We can watch after your son for a few moments if you wanted to try and talk to her." Ember said without thinking and watched Jaebum look at her then at his son then back at the door.

    Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    "That was Rhea, son. Can you stay with Uncle Youngjae and Aunt Ember?" Jaebum looked up at Youngjae, giving him a little wink then stood up when Ji-ho nodded his head m. He stood up after kissing the top of his head. He heads for the door and pauses for a second then walks out. He looks down the street but didn't see her so he looked the other way and saw her. He walked closer to her with caution. "Rhea, can we talk?" Jaebum as he stood next to her.

    Rhea shoved her hands in her coat pocket slightly shivering with the wind making their colder. She was waiting for her UBER to come pick her up, but she heard her name being called. Rhea looked over and sighed when she saw it was Jaebum before letting a few curse words slip from under her breath. "Leave me alone Jaebum, I dont want to talk to you." She said before looking forward. She then checked her phone only to frown when her original UBER driver had cancelled the request and had sent a new driver who was 2p minutes away. Seeing that Jaebum was still waiting for her to speak to him, Rhea sucked in a breath. "Why are you here? Why now, especially when I finally got over you to move on." She said the last part barely above a whisper.
    Youngjae sighed softly "She will, but it will be a while though. Or she probably wont want to hang out with you if I'm around. But I'm sorry babe. I just didn't think she would mind." He said, as he kept rubbing her back. He then let go of her so that they could watch Ji-ho, but deep down he wanted to keep holding her, because Ember felt so good in his arms.

    Ji-ho looked up and watched his dad get up and leave after Rhea. He then looked at Ember and Youngjae. "Why did Daddy leave after her? Is she okay?" He asked, not knowing what was going on but could tell that Rhea was upset. He was a smart and loving kid.

    "Yeah, buddy. Your dad and Rhea waa good umm friends and they just kind of quit talking. She'll be okay." Ember said sitting down in Jaebum seat. After getting a good look at Ji-ho, she could definitely tell that he was Jaebum kid. "You resemble your dad so much, wow." She said. Ji-ho laughed and looked over at Ember then over at Youngjae. "Do you two have any kids that I could play with while we stay at your house?" Ji-ho asked causing Ember to blush and not look at Youngjae.

    Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    "Yezi and I are done. I haven't been happy in a long time other then when I'm around my son. Yezi isn't ready to settle down and be a mother." Jaebum said looking over at Rhea. He was remembering all those late night cuddle sessions and long talks about family. "Rhea, I was trying to give my son a family where both his parents were together. You understand that?" He said and he was waiting for her to turn around and slap the shit out of him. "I should have never left but I would of never got to be there for my son. I'm sorry."

    Rhea rolled her eyes. She knew that Yezi didnt really care to be a mother. She only got pregnant so that she could take Jaebum from her. The moment her and Jaebum got together, Yezi would do everything in her power to get him back and eventually she did. Rhea sighed, but still didnt look at Jaebum. "Okay, but why are you here? Because if you think that I will give you a second chance, then you're wrong. I want nothing to do with you." She said.
    Youngjae eyes widen as his face turned red from embarrassment. Kids really have no filter. He cleared his throat before looking at Ji-ho. "Sorry little man. I dont have kids, and Aunty Ember and I are just friends and she lives by herself." He explained, feeling so embarrassed. But it his heart sunk when he said that, because he really wanted Ember to be his girlfriend.

    "I'm not here to get back with you. I mean if it happens, it happens but I want to be at least friends. I still love you but I know I ruined everything." Jaebum said honestly. He wanted to get back together with Rhea but he wasn't going to pressure her or anything. He really believed if they were meant to be together them they will be in the end. Jaebum shoved his hand in his pocket and stood there when a car pulled up.

    Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Ember laughed it off and looked at Ji-ho. "I have a nephew a little older then you maybe we can get together so you can hang out and make a friend." She watched Ji-ho face light up. "Can we go now?" Ji-ho asked. Ember looked up at Youngjae for the first time since the incident. "Uhh maybe we can do something in a few days. Uncle Youngjae has some games that'll keep you occupied, sweetie." She grinned down at him after a moment.

    Rhea sighed in relief when her Uber had finally arrived. "This is all too much for me to handle. You were the last person I expected or wanted to see. I was finally moving on from you. I'm not ready to have any sort of relationship with you...and I dont think I will ever be. You really hurt me Jaebum." She said before getting inside the uber, not saying anything else to him.
    Youngjae smiled, "yeah I have plenty of games and movies at my place." He said and then looked at Ember with a smile. He then looked over at the entry, seeing that Jaebum had returned without Rhea with him. If course it would've been too good to be true for him and Rhea to easily make up. He looked back at Ember, really wanting to tell her how he feels about her because he doesnt want her to be the one that got away. However, he can't make himself have the balls to tell her

    Jaebum sighed heavily closing the door for her and watching the car drive away. He turned back to go back into the restaurant and walked up to see Ember sitting next to his son so he sat next to Youngbae. "Was you behaving, Ji-ho?" He asked as the boy stopped talking to Ember and looked at Jaebum. "Ember said I could play with her nephew tomorrow or in a few days if we stay here." His son said excitedly. "Yeah, I think we can work something out. Uhh so Rhea left." He said frowning.

    Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Ember looked up at Jaebum when he walked in then he sat down next to Youngjae. "Yeah, I kind of figured she would. I'm going to sound rude but she can't make choose who to hang out with. You both are my friends." She said leaning back in her chair. She wasn't going to deal with this. She would be there for Rhea anytime she needed but Ember wouldn't pick between Jaebum or Rhea. "Who is Rhea? Why did she leave crying, dad?"
