Splitting up with your highschool sweetheart was the last thing you had in mind. After all, you’d been inseparable for years: it came as no surprise when Hyungmin focused greatly on his new business.

He’d worked on it since adolescence, it was his sole purpose, his passion. But with how consumed he was in work, a ridge grew between the both of you.

The ending of your relationship with him was abrupt, rocky and sharp - yet little did you know you’d carry a piece of him forever, a terribly rewarding mistake.

The moment Hyungmin found out you had your son Jihu, the fought for the baby’s custody was endless. While you remained adamant about keeping him to yourself, your ex-partner clearly had other plans. In reality, Hyungmin was more than glad to have an excuse to see you again.

With a growing business and lavish lifestyle, he was more than happy to bribe his solicitors into forcing your’s into an agreement. Even if it was behind your back, he knew neither of you wanted the split. Now that things were stable, why not make it easier for the both of you?

Roughly a year and many quarrels later, the court finally came to the conclusion; co-parenting. Unbeknownst to you, Hyungmin had also slipped in a little condition for the both of you to sleep in the same bed - for Jihu, of course… It wasn’t your most favourable choice, but as long as you were with Jihu, you’d cope.

The two of you moved into Hyungmin’s mansion that morning, spending hours getting settled in properly. You begrudgingly sat on the sofa with Jihu in your arms as Hyungmin pays the last of the workers with a stack of cash.
