I looked away, not wanting to believe what I just saw. I headed to the staffroom, shutting the door behind me as I slid down. I could feel my heart aching. No this isn't the time to be heartbroken. You have to be strong.

Then came a knock on the door. "Byul-ah, you okay?" I recognised Rei's voice, my newly-made friend here.

"Yea I'm okay! Just getting another hair tie! I must have slammed the door too hard haha." I stood up and dusted my apron.

"Okay... Hurry up there are more customers." I heard her walk away.

I wasn't ready for this. So all these time I waited for nothing. I let my hair loose and retied my hair. I exhaled deeply as I opened the door.

The moment I stepped out, I could see the girl getting all touchy with Vernon and as a worker here, I'm getting disgusted. If only they could put up a 'Strictly No PDA' sign here.

Just then, Rei came to me and told me to serve water to Table number 17 which coincidentally the table Vernon was sitting at. I took in a deep breathe and I brought their water to them. I was trying not to lose my cool.

Vernon just looked at me like as if asking what was I doing here. Well, can't he see I'm in a waitress' uniform meaning that I'm working?

"Oh? You look familiar? Wait. Are you, Han Byul?" I was shocked that she knew my name.

"Yes and how did you know my name?" She laughed. I raised an eyebrow.

"Can't you remember me? Does the name Lee Soo Yeon ring a bell to you?" She propped her head on her hand.

"Ohh..." I was brought back to the time I accidentally overheard the King and Queen's conversation that wasn't quite private and calm.

"We're getting married, which means your marriage with Vernon, will be nullified." She whispered the last part. I couldn't say anything. No one told me anything, there wasn't even a letter to notify me. Everything just came to me like a bomb.

"Byul-ah! What are you doing?" Mrs Kim shouted from the counter.

"Huh? Oh!" I fumbled in my apron and got out my notepad.

"Oh? Hansol? Is that you? Oh my..." Mrs Kim was at first happy to see him until she saw Soo Yeon and her face immediately changed into a scowl. Sensing the tensed atmosphere brewing, I quickly asked for their order and wrote it down.

"Mrs Kim, are you okay?" I cautiously asked as I handed her the slip with the orders. "Okay? How can I be okay when you were waiting with two kids that you raised alone and here he is appearing in my eatery with another girl. I can totally not see the matching ring on their fingers." She whispered with an angry tone.

"There's nothing I can do. Our marriage will be nullified." I was sad and angry at the same time.

Just then, Mingyu and Wonwoo came in with Victor on Wonwoo's back and Vanessa in Mingyu's arms.

"Eomma!!" Wonwoo let Victor down and he ran at high speed and crashed into my legs, hugging it tightly.

"Victor why are you here?" I was surprised at his visit because he would usually be at home.

"Uncle Wonwoo bought me candy!" He showed off his lollipop and I gave the said man a glare. He replied with a 'What?' face.

Out of instinct, I turned and look at Vernon who was staring at Victor intently.

"Eh? Hansol? Waahhh how long has it been since you went M.I.A. and oh who's this lady, she's full of plastic." Mingyu slapped Vernon's back.

"What? Plastic? I got the best surgeon to do my face." Soo Yeon flipped her hair. I swore I heard her neck crack.

"You just revealed you had P.S." Mingyu snorted.

Vernon stood up suddenly and just grabbed my hand.

"We need to talk." Was all he said before dragging me out, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
