"Eunha I am at office of Jungkook." Bong-cha said to Eunha on phone while being all excited. "Unniee get out from there. If the boy sees you then things can go wrong." Eunha said. Bong-cha got worried and quickly left.
Jungkook who came to confront the lady found no one. "Sir, the lady was here only." The man said. "Should I call security ?" He asked. "No, forget it. But don't entertain people like this from next time." Jungkook said and left to office.

"Ari." Y/N said smiling while entering her clinic. Ari was sitting in her cabin. "Sorry, I got late." y/N removed her coat. Ari noticed a new bracelet on her wrissts. "Unniee, your bracelet was broke, right ?" She asked while standing up and going near her. Y/N nodded.
Ari took her wrists. "Then from where did new one came ?" She asked. "Did somone gave you / Is it someone special." Ari asked mischieviously. "He was very uninteresting guy." y/n said sighing.
Ari sswept her hair back and Y/N noticed a bracelet in her wrists. "Wait a minute. You are asking me and you got a new bracelet. From where ?"
"And it's exactly same as mine" Y/N said surprised. "A friend gave." Ari said. "Friend or boyfriend ?" Y/N asked while writing in a folder. "Listen, don't hide from me." Y/N said smiling. "Okay." Ari said.
"That means you do have a boyfriend." Y/N said sitting on chair. 'Unniee please stop with this word. Till high school it was okay." Ari whined. "Then what about fiancee ?" Y/N assked to which Ari blushed. "Okay."

"You know Eunha the boy's office is so big." Bong-cha said while giving fare to cab. Then only Hae-won and their friends arrived in car. "Who is this who blocked the entrance ?" Hae-won asked. She ssaw Bong-cha talking on phone. She got out of car. "Oh, cab driver leave fast." She yelled loudly. "Stop yelling. This is my cab." Bong-cha said.
"Oh, very nice you got a cab for yoursself but it's okay not everyone can afford big cars like us" Hae-won boassted. "See your car and I am telling you that even bigger car my Y/N would have." Bong-cha said. "CAn only afford cab and dream of getting car." Hae-won said and laughed along with her friends. She went inside while mocking.

"I know Imo doesn't like oud people but I like him very much infact love him." Ari said to Y/N. "We can't live without each other and if there is one person in whole world who can convince everyone for my marriage then it's you." Ari said hopeful. Y/N got surprised.
Then her phone rang. "hello." "We are from adoption center. We are coming to verify your credentials." The man said. "Okay but please do fast." Y/N said. "Who's call is it ?" Ari assked once call was cut.
"Adoption. I didn't even talked with Mom, dad about it." Y/N said sadly.
.

Hae-won and her friends were doinf Aerobics when their door bell rang. She opened the door sweating and drinking water. "Hello. We are from adoption care center. We wanted to ask about your neighbour for verification." The lady and man said.
"Which neighbour ?" hae-won asked. "Ms. Kang Y/N daughter of Mrs. Bong-cha..." The man was speaking when Hae-won spat the water in her mouth. "They are horrible, they always abuse us and trouble us." he said huffing.
The man got startled. Just then Jungkook arrived. He heard everything. "Oh, Jungkook. Come dear." Hae-won saw him and smiled. He handed over the ice cream. Hae-won and her friends went inside with ice cream. As they went he saw the man and lady leaving.
"Excuse me." He stopped them. "I am sorry but my mom and they don't get along well so... Well, Y/N is not that great but she is fond of kids very much." Jungkook said. Hae-won listened to everything and scoffed.
"Adoption ?" Ha-joon asked surprised and confused. "Didn't Y/N told you that she is adopting. She was telling to Beom though." Bong-cha remembered the words of Hana. "Y/N is not at home, you can come later." Ha-joon said to them and closed the door.
"Let her come today. I'll ask her and you don't intervene." She said angrily to Ha-joon who just sighed.
.
Jungkook was feeding ice cream to Minji but was busy in phone too. Hae-won saw this and ssmiled sseeing him feed her. Minji tapped his shoulder. "Dada, it's finished." She said. Jungkook kept the spoon down. "Papi." Minji called. "What is papi ?" He asked.
"Papa, Dada, Papi." Minji said innocently. "Dada and Papa are okay I don't like Papi." Jungkook said sternly. Hae-won smiled and hurriedly went to Bora and Dahyun.
"You both go on a night show." She said giving them money. They went out happily. "Mr. Jeon come fast." She called. They both called Jungkook. He came out. "Dear, we are going to moviess and Bora nad Dahyun are also out so take care of Minji." She said.
"Then take Minji with you. I have much work to do." He compained. "We don't have her ticket and we are already late." She said and dragged Mr. Jeon out. "Mom..." Jungkook called but they left.
"I hope Minji troubles Jungkook. I want his inner father to come out." Hae-won said to Hyun-tae.
***
"Which girl troubles her parentss so much ?" Bong-cha said. Y/N had her head down with Ari beside her. "what wrong did I do ?" Y/N asked. "Why are you doing this ?" Bong-cha asked her. "Mom, I have decided I will adopt.." Y/N ssaid. "No. If you adopt no one will marry you." Bong-cha said tearful.
"But mom I don't want to marry." Y/N said. "Why ?" Bong-cha asked brokenly. "Because no one will marry me after knowing my truth," Y/N said. "No, believe in your mom dear. You will get world's best man." Bong-cha said.
Y/N didn't say anything and left for her room. "Y/N. Please." Bong-cha cried but Ari stopped her.
.
Jungkook got a call. "Yes, Han ?" "Sir, we are waiting for you in office. You said at night we will hold a video conference with Chan industries." He asked. Jungkook paced around the couch. "No, I think I won't be able to make it so, you all go ahead without mr. If there is a problem you can contact me." Jungkook took the diary kept on coffee table.
Inside it was notes written with red ink. 'Minji was late for class, parents need to visit.' 'Maths homework not done.' 'Drawing project not done.' 'Got 40 marks in class test, parents need to visit.' etc. Jungkook sat down on couch with diary in his hands. "Yes, Yes I am listening..." Jungkook said flipping diary pages hurriedly.
"All set for meeting ?" Hanwoo asked entering the room. "Uh, sir, Jungkook sir is not coming." He said and gave the phone to Hanwoo. "Hello, hyung ? Is everything aright ?" He asked. Jungkook was flipping through pages. He saw Minji standing near stairs scratching her head. "Don't ask it's a long story." Jungkook sighed.
"I am worried about Minji. Her diary is filled with remarks like homework not done, getting less mark and even going late to class." Jungkook said little annoyed and worried. "She is a kid hyung, don't worry." Hanwoo said smiling. "I will take the coference and keep you updated." He said.
Minji came towards him. She took the diary and her bag from table and kept at couch. She looked at Jungkook who was glaring at her. She kept her finger on cheek. Jungkook again noticed the mole. He remembered a moment related to it.
A lady was leaning her head on Jungkook's shoulder. Jungkook was caressing her mole on upper lip. "If I get promotion then we will go on a dinner." Jungkook said. "What is the connection between your promotion and my mole ?" The lady asked smiling.
"Your mole is very lucky for me. When I see it in morning after waking up then my day goes good." Jungkook said smiling.
Jungkook remmebered his past. He looked away.
***
Y/N was in her room when her phone rang. She picked it up. "Hello, mam, I am speaking from Child adoption center." The lady said. "Hi, Did your verification got completed ?" Y/N asked.
"The process is started. We asked your neighbours regarding this." She said. Y/N got anxious as they don't get along well. "What did they say ?" She asked. "They said very positive about you and gave 5 star report. Congratulations." The lady said. "Can I know who gave this report ?" Y/N asked surprised. "It's someone named Jeon Jungkook."
.
Jungkook got up from couch and sat in front of Minji. "Why are you scratching your head so much ? Turn around." Jungkook said. "Why dada ?" She asked. "I have to see." Jungkook said and Minji turned around.
Y/N came towards door and saw Jungkook sitting in living room couch and seeing Minji's head. "Minji, there are loads of lice in your hair." Jungkook said surprised. "Dada, they trouble me everyday. I keep scratching my head." Minji said complaining.
Y/N smiled. "Where ? Here ?" Jungkook asked while searching her hair. "Just stop moving and let me figure this out." Jungkook said. Y/N remembered the lady's words. "I think the monster is on holiday, that's why he is taking care of Minji. I should give a little help." Y/N said to herself and went inside.
She came with a shampoo bottle. She couldn't directly give to him. "Mom ! I have this anti-lice shampoo. It's very good." She yelled. Jungkook and Minji glanced at her direction. "I know. Do you want to send it to adoption center too ?" Bong-cha yelled back.
"I know that you know mom but some people don't know about it." Y/N said side glancing Jungkook. "All lice will be removed with this." She said. Jungkook ignored her and continued his adventure of 'a lice in Minji's hair.'
Y/N came in corridor and kept the bottle near their door. Minji smiled seeing her. Jungkook glanced at her. Y/N kept it and left inside. Jungkook hesitated but got up and went to door to pick up the bottle.
Y/N came with comb but found no one inside so she kept the comb at handle door and went inside. Jungkook came with Minji while drying her hair. He made her sit on couch. "Now all lice are dead." Jungkook said. "Now. dada ?" Minji asked.
"Now we will remove them." Jungkook said. "How ?" She asked. "I am aso wondering where the comb is ?" Jungkook said and again glanced out to see a comb on door handle. He went to door and took the comb.
He combed her hair. Y/N came through door and sneakily looked at them. Jungkook saw Minji smiling at door. He looked to see Y/N standing while smiling. When Y/N saw him her smile dropped and she went inside.
.
Jungkook tucked Minji in bed. He took the bottle and comb. He thought of returning it and saying thank you. He went towards their door and was about to knock but he heard a woman's voice.
"I told Y/N to not even think about adopting." Bong-cha said on a call. Jungkook saw through the gap in door. "He is very nice boy. I saw him with Y/N in cafe. I followed him to office. Office is so big." Bong-cha said happily. Jungkook listened all this and was astonished.
"I was even going to see his pay slip but you said to leave so I left." Bong-cha said. Jungkook remembered the words of his accountant. 'Sir a lady is asking for your pay slip, she is saying your marriage is fixed with her daughter.'
"Eunha that boy is best for our Y/N. He is rich, well-settled and earns in millions." Bong-cha said excited. "His name is Jeon Jungkook." Jungkook got confirmed about the lady. He went to his house.
"Strang people. Just today I met their daughter for my daughter's problem and her mom reaches my office at evening." Jungkook said pacing around. "Now I understand everything. Pretending to love my daughter, care for her, just for my money." Jungkook said angrily.
"Bloody gold diggers." Jungkook threw the bottle and comb in anger.
Here Mr. and Mrs. Jeon came back from movies. "Okay, Mr. Jeon tell Gong-yoo or Lee Dong-wook?" Hae won asked. "Dear, Kim Ji-won." Hyun-tae said. "But she is new." Hae-won said. "Yes dear she is new that's why." Hyun-tae said. "But old is gold dear." Hae-won said pouting. "Mom, this pouting doesn't suits you now." Nari said giggling.
They opened the door and saw Jungkook sitting on couch in deep thoughts. "Oh, here is our hero sitting." Hae-won said. "You know movie was sso good." She said smiling. Hyun-tae already left for his room.
I am very tired, so I am going to sleep. Good night hyung." Nari said and went to her room. Jungkook was staring into nothing. "Minji slept ?" Hae-won asked. Jungkook nodded. Hae-won was about to go but Jungkook stopped her. "Mom, these neighbours. From how much time are they living here ?" He asked.
"Why ? Did they say ssomething to you ?" Hae-won asked. "What can they say to me ?" Jungkook said. Hae-won sat down. "Dear, what shouldI tell you. They are very horrible people. They have no standard and status. They are always jealous of us. They have just made our lie hell." Hae-won rambled.
"Well, I will go check on Minji." Hae-won said and left. Jungkook ganced at the door of neighbours.
IN MORNING
Jungkook opened the door and picked the newspaper. He was about to go inside when he saw the paper was not of their home. He looked back to see his newspaper in front of Kang's door. He went ahead and bent to pick down the paper. Just then door opened revealing Y/N with wet hairs and in tee and pants.
Jungkook held both papers in his hand. Y/N smiled. "Good morning." She greeted. "The papers are exchanged." Jungkook said coldly. "Oh! alright." She said taking the newspaper. Jungkook just glared at her. He left from there. Y/N looked up. "Thank..." She saw him closing the door.
"What's the problem of this man ?" Y/N said to herself and closed the door.
"Yay. Grandma you know now there will be no lice in my head and no itching as Dada washed all away." Minji said jumping on bed. "That's very good." Hae-won said standing with comb in her hand. "Minji baby, can you tell who's bracelet is this ?" Hae-won asked while showing her the bracelet.
"This is of Doctor miss." Minji said. "Chaerin's daughter Dr. Byeol ?" Hae-won asked. "No, mumma of marshmallow." Minji said. "marshmallow ?" Hae-won mumbled and remmebered the dog. She also remebered how Jungkook gave good word for Y/N yesterday morning.
'These middle class people are behind my son, but I won't let this happen. I will find a girl soon and get Jungkook married.' Hae-won thought.
.
"Jungkook!" Hae-won called while entering the room. Jungkook was getting ready in front of mirror. 'Dear, come home early today." She said. "Not possible. I have a important meeting then an event after that a party. I will go to party directly after event." Jungkook said.
"I don't know anything, you have to be here till 7. I have told guests that you are obedient to time."Hae-won said. "I think you mean punctual. " Jungkook said. "Yes, whatever. Don't you want to know who is coming ? It's girl's family for marriage proposal." Hae-wo said excited.
Jungkook stopped styling his hair and went to past.
Jungkook came to living area wearing specs. He had a typical nerd appearance that time. "Well, my daughter, Mina, wanted to become model." Woman said. Jungkook tried to catch glimpse of the girl. He could see her eyes.
"All in my building said that my daughter is very beautiful. She should become a model. But I want that she marries a well-settled man and in a well off family. A man that can financially support her." Woman said. Jungkook saw a mole on girl's upper lip.
"Don't worry Mrs. Lee, my son Jungkook is very nice and simple minded." Hae-won said. Mina took the juice from tray and saw Jungkook. She smiled seeing him. "Mina will be very happy with him." Hae-won said.
"Jungkook ? Where are you lost ?" Hae-won shook Jungkook. He came out of his past. "You have to meet them once. The girl is so pretty and cute." She said smiling. Jungkook again remembered divorce papers.
