The sound of thunder rang out with a very heavy rain. Jack was sitting near Mika reading the newspaper. Three months passed after Jack asked about a random number code that became the main key to the storage of heroin warehouses in Beijing. And Mika did know the code because her father asked her to remember it. After Jack memorizes the combination of numbers he forbids Mika to go out of her own house without him. Because a bad feeling always comes to his mind. He remembered Sungjae. The boy called to come home today. Maybe because of the heavy rain, it has not yet appeared. Mr. Kang approached Jack and said someone wanted to meet him. Jack immediately knew who the man who had come to see him was.
Jack went down to see Sungjae. In the living room of the house, Sungjae sat pensively. He remembers the first time he came to the house with his mother. Someone sent them to Bong Cheol as a way to take his heart. Sungjae's father was a police officer who died on duty. Their house burned down. As Captain, Kapen Lucas promised a decent job and shelter and a wish to the wife of the police officer for a better life. But Captain Lucas did not take him anywhere he actually drove him into Bong's hands as a free gift.
"Are you thinking about something?" ask Jack to surprise.
"Ah? I remember my past." replied Sungjae.
"About your mother?"
"Yes. All right, what are you talking to me about?"
Jack poured wine in a small glass for Sungjae. He then handed the glass filled with wine to the young man. After Sungjae receives and gulps down his drink, Jack begins to talk about the purpose of why he invited Sungjae to his house.
"I thank you for saving Mika back then. Although I knew you had something planned for him, too."
"Yes, I'm sorry. My eyes were closed by vengeance."
"alright. Now I want to ask you to help protect her while I'm out."
"That's not a problem. I'll take care of him.
"thank you. If anything suspicious report it to me immediately."
As Jack was finishing his sentence, Mr. Kang came to report that all CCTV cameras were neatly installed at every vantage point. He also placed two guards at the front post.
"Alright, thank you Mr. Kang." Mr. Kang saluted by bowing half his body, then left.

After Jack met Sungjae, he told the boy to occupy his former room first. And start working for him tomorrow. Jack returned to his room and saw Mika lying down and rubbing her stomach. She approached Mika and rubbed her stomach.
"Ehem, don't you know baby? Although pregnant, a woman also wants to get out of the house, the streets are looking for entertainment. I'm tired of having to be at home like this all the time." Mika replied complaining.
"Didn't you like my decision to forbid you to go to Hanyang?" Jack looked at Mika fixedly.
"It's not like that, I just want to take a walk outside. Would you like to accompany me for a walk outside, baby?"
"Do you really want to do it?" jack asked and saw Mika nodding slowly.
Jack looked at Mika for a moment. Actually he was worried if he had to take Mika out of the house, but eventually he did it to make her happy. The two of them enter the car and go to an underground entertainment center, SM Coex Atrium located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. He invited Mika there to treat her boredom. Together with Mika's hand tightly, through the glass aisle in which there are thousands of types of fish. They saw big and small fish that were very beautiful. With blue water makes their eyes feel freshness when they see it. Mika paused for a moment, and observed the nemo fish that was in front of her. He saw his female fish laying eggs in such a large number. His hand touched the glass and slightly brought his face closer to the glass. Jack looked at Mika's face that looked so happy.
"Do you like it? She's just like you, beautiful and fighting for her baby" Jack said.
"You know, I always imagined how painful it would be to give birth to a baby. And every time I imagined it, I remembered my mother who my father said, she left me when she gave birth to me." Mika answered becoming moody. "Dad always blamed me for my mother's death. Until I grew up, he gave me all the amenities of my life. But never once gave her love for me." Mika continued her sentence.
Mika clasped Jack's hand. "I'm happy to make the people I love happy. Even though I was afraid to love, marry, and be pregnant. Afraid that the end of my life will be like my mother. But I forgot all about it after meeting you." Mika looked into Jack's eyes with a hint of tears. "I dare to do all this for you Jack, I love you so much. If my fate really ends up like my mother's, please never hate our baby. Don't ever blame him for my death." Mika started crying.
Jack held Mika to his chest. "Huss, don't say that again. Hear me. You won't be gone that fast and leave me. We'll both raise our babies together. We'll even have a few more babies. We'll stay together anytime. You should be sure about it, baby." Jack almost cried when he said that. He hugged his beloved wife. At least he never imagined such a thing would happen to him.
Long enough they hugged, then Jack raised Mika's face and wiped away the tears that ran down her cheeks. Then, he switched the conversation between them. With a relaxed step they continue watching the attraction of mermaids diving at the bottom of the pool greeting the visitors. Jack takes a picture of himself with Mika with the mermaid behind them. And some pictures elsewhere. Two hours they had felt the coolness in the largest aquarium in Seoul. Next Jack took Mika to the shopping center on the top floor of the place.
They bought some maternity clothes and food that Mika wanted. While passing several baby box models, Mika stopped and touched one of them made of wood that can be swayed. When Jack took her in the other direction, Mika was still standing there.
"Do you like it?" jack asked and answered with a nod from Mika.
"We'll take that."
Mika immediately turned to look at Jack with sparkling eyes. Jack smiled while embracing Mika's shoulder. Then they approached the waiter at the baby box store. And buy the box that Mika likes.
