"Buongiorno capo," *Good morning boss
You smiled at Isabella who just greets you while moping the floor. You stepped into the café carefully so that you won't make the floor dirty. That young girl, who stills a teenager, is one of your employees, helping you running the coffee shop since it operated almost two years ago. This is your daily activity, wake up early in the morning, sending Eva to her babysitter and went straight to the café, preparing everything that needs to be done before it fully open to the customers.
After divorced with Jungkook, Mark suggested you move out from South Korea and immigrated to Italy. He said Italy is a nice country to start a new life plus he will always back and forth from Korea to Italy as Raymond Hotel opened a second branch there. You quickly agreed without thinking twice as there's nothing that can hold you from leaving Korea and back to your country just making the situation more worse. Your divorcement with Jungkook left a huge impact for both sides. And for sure the media won't let this thing go easily.
That moment was extremely a nightmare for you until you really didn't want to recall it back. You had been attacked all day and night long after the controversy released. Jungkook didn't wait any minute after you asking him for a divorcement. He canceled that agreement right away and divorce you on the same day you went to meet him at the prison. And surprisingly, he gave you 10 million like you both had agreed. How fast his heart changed when Jennie out of sudden announced that they will be getting married as soon Jungkook released from the prison.
When I told you we had to end it, that we had to go on our own separate paths, I wanted you to say no. I wanted you to tell me you would never let me go. I wanted you to say that you couldn't imagine living life without me, without Eva, that you would never love anyone as much as you loved me and our child, even if it sounds a little selfish. I wanted you to fight for me, to stop me from leaving. But all you said was, "I've been thinking the same thing for a while now,"
Mark knew you were in a complete mess when Jungkook treated you that way. He sent you and Eva to Sant'Agata Bolognese, a small commune in the province of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, north Italy right before Jungkook got off from the prison. He didn't want Jungkook to hurt you more by taking Eva away from you. You also never agreed with that plan if Jungkook really wants to do so. Having Jennie as Eva's stepmother? Yeah, hell no! The one and the only reason you wanted to get a divorce was only because of Eva. Jennie threatened you to hurt Eva if you didn't leave Jungkook. So what's the point if you gave up Eva easily to your ex-husband? You were quite sure Jennie will never treat Eva nicely if Jungkook really gets the child custody. But let's say it's only happened in a dream.
This café' you built was not sponsored by Mark actually. You have been using your alimony that given by Jungkook but you didn't spend it all. Like you already planned when you been pregnant with Eva, the alimony was split into two, five million were for you and another five for Eva's future. So there's no reason to keep the money for a long time without doing nothing. After a few hours you keep busying yourself in the café, taking care of some bakery goods, it's time for you to rest.

"Cosa stai facendo qui, Eva?" *What are you doing here, Eva?"
You heard one of your employees called your daughter's name. Is Eva here? But how? How did she come here? Was Mrs. Berto brings her? You quick went out from the kitchen, looking for your two-year-old daughter.
As soon as you heard Eva called you, you saw her running towards you. You were so happy looking at her two tiny feet running for you. There's someone behind her, followed her around. No wonder how did she could be ended up here. She came with her most favorite person, her daddy. You gave Eva a hug and kisses on both of her cheeks. You also grabbed your chance to tickle her when she stills in your arms. There's nothing happier than listening to your daughter's cute laughter.
"Enough for that. I thought we already had a deal about this, Eva," said Mark with his serious face. You knew he's just acting up now.
"Why?"
Eva lifted her face up while looking at Mark who's standing in front of her now. Oh my god Mark! Why you do this? Eva literally is way shorter than him. Poor that kid needs to look at her tall daddy.
"You promised me that we have to share Mummy together. How can you're the only one get to hug Mummy? I don't want to be friend with you anymore," said Mark while pouting his mouth. You couldn't help it but only laugh by watching their behavior. It just felt like raising two kids now.
"Ahh, I forgot about that, daddy. Don't be like this. Who's going to be Eva's daddy if you don't want to friend with me anymore?" replied her before came hugging Mark's leg. She looked even tinier every time she with Mark. Ahh, so cute.
"So can Daddy hug Mummy now, Eva?" you said to her and walking close to Mark.
"I'm sorry, Daddy," begged her again while didn't stop looking at Mark.
"Aigoo... How could I be mad at you? You're my pretty Princess," said Mark and lifting her up. He then gives her a kiss at cheek. You loved seeing how Mark treated your daughter like his own child.
"What are you doing here? You just came to Italy three days ago and today again?" asked you after he puts down Eva back. You looked at Eva who running around the café' but then you turned back to Mark. He just spent two days here and within a day after back to Korea, he's here again.
"Why? Is it wrong if I want to spend my weekend with you?" said him while hugging you.
"I miss you so much, honey," said him again happily. Still, his arms still surround your body tight.
"That's not what I mean. Like you were just here a few days ago. Don't you feel any tired?"
"It doesn't matter to me as long as I'm with you. Wherever you are is my home now," he took your hand into his. But then he suddenly pushed you slowly from his arms.
"Where is your ring?" asked him while looking at your hand. Ahh, he might just realize there's no ring on your finger as you took it off when you're doing some work at the kitchen a moment ago.
"Here!" you pulled off the ring from your pocket, showing to him.
"Why you took it off, hun?" he puts the ring back to your finger.

"Well it might get dirty because of my work," you smiled looking at him who always became unreasonable panic just because of the ring.
"That's the only symbol of our engagement. How could let this thing off like that," he looked a little bit disappointed.
"Aigoo... Since when you become such a crying baby like this? Look, Mr. CEO. Which one is more important? This ring or our love?" you cupped both of his cheeks before kissing him.
You knew how much Mark loves you and how important you are in his life. After getting divorced with Jungkook, you had no intense to find another guy who barely can even accept you as a single mum. But Mark never gave up on you, never gave up winning your heart back so you have been thinking why not you just accept him. He treated you and Eva so nicely that you couldn't resist from falling in love with him. You started to fall in love with Mark since you saw him been such a good dad to Eva.
He proposed to you early in this year and you said yes without hesitation. There's no other reason for you to postpone this engagement as he's the only man in your life and Jungkook also probably have a happy life with Jennie now. Why you need to suffer alone meanwhile he was never tried to find Eva and you for the past two years. It is just showing more that he never care about his daughter.
So you decided to marry Mark soon. Marry a man who loves you more than you love him. When you hold a man's hand and he makes your heart beat faster and he makes you feel giddy and excited, walk away from this man. He is not the man for you. This man is clearly Jungkook who just like to break your heart for many times. But if you hold a man's hand and he makes you feel warm, safe and secure, hold onto him. This is the man you are going to marry. And he is Mark. He is the right guy for you.
If he loves you he will treat your heart as his own and never even think of breaking it. If he loves you he will care about your feelings and he will never hurt you by bringing up your past. And if he loves you he will never cheat on you physically or emotionally. If he loves you he will give you a special place in his life and in his heart. If he loves you he will never ignore you and he will give his time and attention no matter how busy he is. If he loves you truly, deeply and madly then he will love you for a lifetime. That's what you see in Mark who so much different than Jungkook.
"Honey..." he wheedled to you.
"What?"
"How about we let Eva sleep at Mrs. Berto's house tonight?" he then gave you a dirty smile. You knew what he means right now?
"Ahh, that's a shame. You know I have my period on this week. You should back here last week," you whispered into his ear. Wrong timing, Mark. He probably regrets now because he will get nothing back here this time.
"Really? It's been a while since the last time I checked your period schedule. Sorry I been busy lately, baby," said him while both of you walking to the table. He pulled the chair for you to sit down first. Eva came to Mark who sitting in front of you and took a sit on his lap.
"What do you want to drink, my Princess?" asked Mark to Eva.
"Can I have cola, daddy?"
"Anything for you, sweetheart..."
You just could watch both of them talking and laughing together. It was nice seeing them can get along very well and you were hoping so their relationship will be the same as this even Eva knows about his real dad in the future. Well, in case if this will happen when she already grownups.
"Y/N..."
Mark called your name right after the waiter puts the drink on the table.
"Ah-ha..."
"Did you ever give a thought about back to Korea again?"
Why Mark suddenly asked you this kind of question? Back to Korea again? It never be your country from the first. Why did you need to give a damn about living there again? What if you meet Jungkook there? It just like asking for your own death.
"I don't know," you just could answer those three words while playing with the straw in your glass.
"Is it because of Jungkook? You knew I can protect both of you and Eva. Dad will retire soon and I will take over his position as a Chairman later. Much stronger than Jungkook,"
"I don't care about your or his reputation, Mark. Maybe I'm not ready yet to face him,"
You saw him sighing after putting Eva down. She went to Isabella and playing with her at the front door.
"Do you still love him?"
For the two years you spent with Mark, that question never left from his mouth. You knew he just wanted to sure of himself that whether you make a right decision on him.
"My feelings towards him already died a long time ago..." you entangled your fingers with his, trying to convince him.
"And you are my future now," said you again.
"I love you,"
Mark stood up and coming close to you before he grabbed your face to him. His warm lips brushed yours. Slowly, inexorably, you pressed your lips to Mark. It's soft and gentle and chaste and maybe there's no firework or sparks, but it's better than that - it's a wave of warmth that fills you up.
"I love you too," you smiled at him when he pulled his lips away from you slowly.
"Let's go home," Mark holds your hand, making you stood up.
You called Eva for many times but she didn't give any response. So was Mark. Where is this kid now? Both of you and Mark searched for Eva every corner of the café' but still, there's no sign of her. You went outside of your shop and you found Eva was talking to a stranger. Mark quickly went to Eva and lifted her up, avoiding that guy.
"Eva! How many times did I tell you about never talking with someone who you don't even know!" you keep nagging at her.
"But this uncle gave me a candy," said her who still in Mark's arm.
You looked at that guy and by only seeing his face leaving you in shock. You turned to Mark who besides you. This can't be happening right now.
Why is Jungkook here?

Trashy story ! v1.5
Author: I've made alot of mistakes in my plot, I've relied on force to do it naught. Where does quality go? When you give up patience for speed though? This is a story I will begin, Hopefully this will make your hearts sing! There's not much I do that is right, But I will enjoy writing it this night. So those of you who will cheer me on, Or not i'll be happy to sing you a song! A song in text! Wish me luck next! - authors (singular) Trashy story v1.5: starto! Serious synopsis: Hey everyone it's the author here (Not my character named "Author" or "Also author") I'd like to introduce to you my new book "Trashy story"! So you're proboaly wondering what this "Trashy story" is about, well wait no longer I shall tell you! (Or try to sound cool as I tell you nothing.) This story will be written entirely in poem style assides from the author notes (Which are in itself a out of character in character commentary of the story.) With this type of format I hope to talk about things which are commonly overlooked in novels, and or things which are blaringly obvious yet often ignored! In the earlier version of this novel I had gone over things such as how the conditions of a fantasy world may force bandits to do what they do, and also the effects of killing a leader will cause! Even if the leader is a tyrant a power vacuum makes life a living hell, and often more of a living hell than before. This story was written on qidian as well but I felt like I was rushing too much on the writing (As qidian is use to crazy release rates) so I hope to port it over to here as I rewrite problamatic chapters. Said chapters may be updated on qidian once I find a good foothold to improve the plot again. Well thankyou for reading this far down on the synopsis, I'm not sure why you've read so far down but thankyou! I hope you will enjoy "Trashy story" v1.5 as much as I enjoyed writing it! "Trashy story" v1.0 : 46 chapters (24 not counting side storys) "Trashy story" v1.5: rewrite starting at chapter 35 (21 not counting side storys) You may be wondering why half of the novels publication so far (as of writing this synopsis) is side story (Bleh... filler!) Well that is because the side stories are where I develop most of the world building. (They really are only called side stories because they follow the side characters and antagonist) Note: The origional novel (V.1) can be found on webnovel... Howeverrrrr I will reupload every "Okay" chapter up to the breakoff point here as well. Proof of me moving over to royal road (And not shamelessly stealing chapters) can be found in the latest chapter "Temporary haitus: Partial rewrite") V.1: Link V.1.5: You're looking at it (Well atleast I think you are!) (Hosted on royalroadl)
