Chapter 14 - An engagement is planned

"Such a big award show. Do you know what will happen in awards, Tzuyu ?" namjoon asked. "Come on Namjoon, when did you become so modest ?" Tzuyu asked. Mina smiled. They were sitting in a restaurant together. 

"You will already get to know the winner and you are winning from last 8 yrs. so all other buisnesmen are jealous of you." Tzuyu said smirking. "I have a habit of inning so I don't care about others jealousy." Namjoon said laughing. 

"If there are friends like you then winning becomes a habit." Namjoon said simirking. "Don't worry Namjoon, jury is in my hand. You just plan to throw a success party." Tzuyu said. "Mina, I hope you have selected your best dress for this event." Tzuyu asked.

"Come on, Tzuyu." Mina said smiling. "You know I start preparing for this event months before." Namjoon smiled. "I have talked to the jury and this year also coverage will be done for you." Tzuyu said. "By the way you know, Namjoon who is your closest competitor this year ?" Tzuyu asked swirling her wine glass.

"Who ?" Mina asked. "None other than Jeon Jungkook." Tzuyu said making Namjoon stop drinking from his glass. Mina's smile dropped. "After knowing your closest competitors name won't you say anything ?" Tzuyu asked Namjoon.

"I would surely like to. I have stole so much from that pitiful guy." Namjoon said. Mina frowned at him. "That too from under his nose." Namjoon said looking at Mina. "Well, yes, your beautiful girlfriend was once beloved wife of Jeon Jungkook, now ex-wife." Tzuyu said mocking.

Namjoon kept his hand over Mina's hand and smiled at her.

IN MORNING

Y/N took coffee from Bong-cha. "Y/N ?" Bong-cha called as she was about to go. "Did you talked with Ari again ?" She asked. "No, mom." Y/N said dejected. "I am trying from last night but..'' Y/N said. "Good morning." Ari said cheerfully coming down in sports wear.

Everyone looked at Ari worried. "What happened ? Anyways, tell me how's my new tracksuit ?" Ari ased wearing shoes. Y/N looked at Bong-cha. "What happened ? Oh god ! Don't tell me you are still upset with yesterday's thing." Ari said going towards Y/N. She held her shoulders gently.

"I am not this weak." Ari said smiling. "It's not about weakness." Y/N spoke but Ari stopped her. "Unniee please. I am fine. Okay ?" Ari said. "Imo, I am going to jogging, I will come soon." Ari said and kissed her cheeks. "Bye." Ari waved at Ha-joon and left.

"Dear, give her some time. She is a mature girl, she can take care of herself." Ha-joon said. Bong-cha was still worried though.

.

"What's there to worry ? In today's award function Jungkook will get lots of award." Hae-won said. "But the invitation is for two. With spouse." Ye-jin said placing coffee mugs on table. Tae was sitting in balcony in his jogging clothes and looking down impatiently.

"Poor Jungkook. He has to go alone" Ye-jin said sadly. "What's the big deal ? Let's send Minji with him. Spouse is done I mean family is there, right ?" Hae-won said making Ye-jin sigh.

"Grandma !" Minji came running with Nari following. "Where I have to go with dada ?" She asked. "You have to go in a big party." Hae-won said. Minji smiled excitedly. She hugged Hae-won. "Minji, dear go and play inside." Ye-ji said signalling Nari to take her. 

"Mom, why do you speak without thinking ? Just said and done. Now you have created excitement in her heart. She will definitely go now." Ye-ji said sitting. "I know dear, I am not a kid." Hae-won said. "What do you know ? Let evening come, see what drama creates." Ye-ji said.

"What do you think ? Jungkook will take Minji with him ?" Ye-ji scoffed. "Noona, you have come early morning here. Don't you miss your husband and daughter ?" Tae asked. "Don't talk nonsense with me or I will give you a tight slap, understand ?" Ye-ji said angrily.

Tae scoffed and looked out. Minji came running with two dresses in her hands. "Grandma, which dress should I wear ?" She asked. "None of them. You will wear that princess frock. When any girl would see you, you know what she will say, I want to become her mumma." Hae-won said and laughed.

Tae saw Ari walking towards garden. "Oh ! Morning walk in tight clothes. Don't worry baby Tae is coming." Tae said to himself and got up and took Minji with him. "Come, Minji we will go for a walk until your grandma talks." Tae said and took her down.

Tae went near Kang's door. "Minji dear, do you want to meet Y/N sungmo ?" Tae asked. Minji nodded. "But if grandma sees then ?" Minji asked. "We won't tell her, then how will she come to know ?" Tae said. "You go to Y/N sungmo till then I will go for running" Tae said and kissed her cheeks and sent Minji to Kang's.

Minji rang door bell and Y/n opened the door. "Minji ?" Y/N asked surprised. She crouched down. "What are you doing here ?" Y/N asked. "Tae uncle aid I am going to running you go stay with Y/N sungmo." Minji said and hugged Y/N.

"Grandma said that today I will go to a big party. I will also wear a princess frock." Minji said jumping happily and swirling. Y/N laughed sseeing her antics. "But I don't know what happens in big parties. Will you tell me ?" Minji asked.

"Surely I can tell but there is a problem, you have to give a fees." Y/N said thinking. "What ?" Minji asked. "A sweet kiss." Y/N ssaid smiling while forwarding her cheek. Minji kissed her cheek happily.

"So sweet, let's come and tell you." Y/N said picking Minji in her arms. 

.

"Mom you are too much. You should have asked me before doing commitment with anyone." Jungkook aid annoyed sitting on sofa. "If I had to take someone then I would have taken you." Jungkook said. "Dear, how can I go ?" Hae-won said.

"Minji iss your daughter, so take her with you." Hae-won said. "I can't take her. I can't handle her." Jungkook said frowning. "She can handle you, that much sensible she is." Hae-won said. "Mom, please. Think before you say. In the party Namjoon and Mina will be there." Jungkook aid frustrated. "If Minji sees Mina how will she react ?" 

Hae-won thought for a while. "Ye-ji, call your sister-in-law, Ji-hyun." Hae-won said. "Now who is Ji-hyun ?" Jungkook asked annoyed. "This is none of your buisness." Hae-won said and came near Jungkook. "She will go with you to that function and with both of you Minji will go." Hae-won said smiling.

"What ?" Jungkook asked surprised.

.

Y/N taught Minji table manners and everything necessary for a party. "When they bring starters, what will you say ?" Y/N asked. "Thank you." Minji replied making Y/N smile. "Ok now learn how to hold a spoon." Y/N said and made Minji held the spoon.

"Whenever you start eating before that spread a cloth in your lap." Y/N said. Minji nodded and placed a cloth in her lap. "Now how me how to eat." Y/N said. Minji took spoon and imitated to eat something. She opened her mouth big while chewing. Y/N closed her mouth.

"Don't open your mouth so big, okay ?" Y/N explained. Minji nodded and smiled.

.

Tae saw Ari sitting on bench after running. He smiled slyly and poured some water on his face. He ran in front of her. "Hey." Ari called. "Hey." Tae replied. "How many rounds ?" he asked. "4 and 4 more." Tae said huffing fakly. "You are sweating badly." Ari said.

"Health is wealth." Tae said. "Want some water ?" Ari offered her bottle smiling. "Thank you." Tae took the bottle. Ari got up and turned to pick her towel. Tae bent down and stared at her hips.

Ari turned around and Tae immediately stood up. "Well, none of my business but the advice I gave you, did you thought about it ?" Tae aked. "When I don't want to keep a relation with him why should I make him jealous ?" Ari said. Tae nodded.

"That' what I am saying. Go out and meet new people so that he also knows that he is such a loser let you go." tae said. "Rest we should talk while jogging." Tae said and Ari nodded.

.

"Minji !" Y/N called while taking her bag. "Mom, I am going clinic. I will try to come early." Y/N said. Bong-cha came running towards her. "Today you don't go to clinic." Bog-cha said smiling. "Why ?" Y/N asked confused. "Jaebom's mom is coming from Daegu tomorrow and your engagement is also fixed for tomorrow." Bong-cha aid excited.

"Tomorrow ? Why so fast ?" Y/N asked ssurprised. "And next month wedding." Bong-cha said. "Next month wedding ? What are you talking about ?" Y/N said.

"Yes, you don't worry. Your wedding preprations will be done by me and your dad and I have already talked to Beom and Seohee for engagement." Bong-cha said.

"I am not worried about prepration but think about Ari." Y/N said concerned. Then only Ari entered. "Her engagement just broke yesterday..." Y/N stopped talking seeing Ari.

"How will I feel ?" Ari aked Y/N. "Where is Minji ?" Ari aked. "Minji." Y/N called. Minji came to them. "Dear your uncle is waiting you go." Ari said smiling. Minji left. Bong-cha looked at Ari worried. Y/N pouted and asked, "What ?" 

Ari smiled. "Unniee what can be more cheerful for me. Congratulations." Ari hugged Y/N. Y/N smiled and broke the hug. "I am so happy for you." Ari said. "Imo ? Why didn't you involved me in engagement prepration ?" Ari asked with fake anger. "Let me wash up then we will together plan everything." Ari aid smiling. Bong-cha caressed her cheeks.

"See Y/N, you were just worrying for nothing. Ari is happy." Bong-cha said. Y/N smiled. "To see your smile I always prayed." Bong-cha said. Y/N's phone rang with Jaebom's name written. Bong-cha smiled and left. "Hello." Y/N anwered.

"Did you come to know ?" Jaebom asked. "Yes." Y/N replied. "I know you must be thinking that my parent are doing everything so fast. But they are too excited." Jaebom said. Y/N smiled. "You are on line right ?" Jaebom confirmed.

"I am speaking so much but you are quiet. You did heard right ?" Jaebom asked. "Yes, I did." Y/N said. "Then speak something. Don't tell me you are shy." Jaebom asked. "Forget it. I have also seen many boys shying like girls." Y/N said.

"Okay, I can't win in argument with you." Jaebom said. "Well, I wanted you to meet me in South X mall." Jaebom asked. "Right now ? It's not possible." Y/N said. "You did girl's talk right now." Jaebom teased. "Ok, I will come but why ?" Y/N asked smiling.

"I have bought a flat so I thought of doing some shopping for it." Jaebom said. "If it's of your choice it would be fantastic." "No, it should be of our choice." Y/N said. "Well listening to our feels good. So let's meet ?" Jaebom said smiling. "Ok." Y/N said and hung up.

 "Mom." Y/N said. Bong-cha came. "I have to go with Jaebom for furniture shopping." Y/N said. "Don't ask my permission for going to shopping with him." Bong-cha said smiling making Y/N laugh. "You both are going shopping." Bong-cha squealed making Y/N surprised.

.

Jungkook got off from his car in front of mall. Hanwoo also came there. "Why did you call me here?" Jungkook asked. "Didn't you say that your mom and dad don't want to move from apartment, o you wanted to rennovate. I have a very good interior designer a my friend. He will meet us here. Let's come." Hanwoo said and took him inside.

Y/N and Jaebom also came there. "If we are going to live together, we should do rennovation also together." Jaebom said. "Right. Excuse me." Y/N called a worker. "Bedroom section." Jaebom asked.

.

"Here, this wardrobe is best among our collection. The black colour gives it wild vibe." The designer said. "Yes, it truly is good." Jungkook said. "Well, but this bed is small. I want a king size bed." Jungkook said. "Not a problem. Till then you can see other option. I will go down and ask if they have king size bed available." The designer said and left.

Y/N and Jaebom came up. "You can see best options here." The worker said smiling and left them to see. Jaebom's phone rang. "Hello, yes." Jaebom answered. "Y/N it's from award function's location. You see some options till I come back." Jaebom said. Y/N nodded.

Y/N went ahead checking the beds. She was checking the bed when she collided with someone. She turned to see and got startled to see Jungkook. They both were reminded of their past bitter encounters.

"Welcome sir." One worker came to them smiling. "This is the best bed of our showroom. Good choice sir and madam. Not only a couple but whole family can sleep on it." He said making Y/N widen her eyes.

"Are you both married ?" The worker asked. Jungkook glared at him. "Or are about to married? It's good to plan before marriage." Worker said. Jungkook was getting frustrated. "This is perfect for you. In future your baby can also fit in this bed." Y/N's jaw dropped.

"Don't be shy. Everyday couple come to see furniture. Come sir it here." The worker said and held Jungkook's arm. Jungkook yanked his hand away. "Shut up ! What nonsense are you saying ?" He shouted. "Idiot." Y/N was unimpressed by his rude behaviour. "How could he ? You come." The worker aid tp Y/N and held her hand. "I will come later sorry." She said awkward. Jaebom saw it and came there.

"Don't you have brain ? When my fiancée is saying no why are you forcig her ?" Jaebom asked angrily. "She is your fiancée ? Sorry mam, sorry sir." The worker apologised and left.

"I am really sorry." Jaebom apologised to Jungkook. "It's okay." Jungkook said and left from there.

"Did you found anything good ?" Jaebom asked Y/N. "No, I don't like anything here. Let's go somewhere else." Y/N requested. "okay." Jaebom agreed.

.

"He is a very nice boy. He loves Y/N a lot." Bong-cha aid to hana on call. "They have gone shopping." Bong-cha said packing gift boxes. "Already ?" Hana asked. "Yes, Next month is wedding" Bong-cha said. "Everything is being done in fast forward." Hana mocked.

"Yes. We are so happy that we can't wait." Bong-cha said. "Congratulations to you." Hana said. "Well, you have to come tomorrow, the groom's family doesn't want big fuction so engagement is at home. You have to reach at 11.30." Bong-cha said.

"Yes, ofcourse." Hana said unpleasently. "Ok." Bong-cha said and hung up. Hana scoffed as call got cut. 

"Dear, why did you told Hana ?" Ha-joon asked. "Why shouldn't I ?" Bong-cha asked. "Her son gave so much painn to our Y/N, you forgot ?" Bong-cha asked. Ari sighed. "I want to tell them that now my Y/N's life i so much better. Let me tell them also." Bong-cha said and took some sweet.

"Dear." Ha-joon called but she ignored. She rang the bell. Hae-won opened the door to see a smiling Bong-cha with sweets. "You ?"

"Here, these sweets for you. There is a good news." Bong-cha said. "Good news ?" Hae-won asked confused. "Yes, tomorrow my Y/N is getting engaged. Your son didn't found any girl but my daughter has found a very nice boy." Bong-cha said boasting. Hae-won frowned.

"Now you believe that my daughter was not behind your son." Bong-cha said making Hae-won angry. "She will never marry a boy like him." Bong-cha mocked. "Anyways, you are our neighbour, though a bad one but keep these sweets." Bong-cha forwarded the box. "Eat and also give others." Bong-cha smiled.

"I will pray for your son. Though seeing his nature I don't think he will get any girl." Bong-cha laughed. Ari was looking all the time and sighed heavily. "Hey ! Have you come to give sweets or taunt me ?" hae-won yelled. Ha-joon and Hyun-tae came out. 

"My son is not affected with your venemous words. And don't stress. Keep your sweets with yourself." Hae-won said. Bong-cha smiled satisfied. "Dear, you go inside." Hyun-tae said. Hae-won scoffed and was about to go. "Congrats." Hyun-tae said.

"Hey." Hae-won yelled at hyun-tae. "Thank you." Bong-cha said. "She cursed our son but you are congratulating them ? For what are you congratulating ?" Hae-won asked.

Hyun-tae took Hae-won inside. Ha-joon also took Bong-cha inside. "Dear, now stop." Ha-joon said. Bong-cha ssmiled and went. Ha-joon was about to close door but he saw Hyun-tae.

Hyun-tae smiled and came to him. "Your daughter is getting engaged. Congrats." Hyun-tae said and forwrarded hi hand. Ha-joon was surprised but he also smiled and shook his hand.

.

"I will get Jungkook engaged as soon as possible. You tell me in how much time is Ji-hyun 

arriving ?" Hae-won asked Ye-ji on call. "And tell her to wear some nice designer clothes afterall she is going to award function with CEO Jeon Jungkook. It's not a small thing." Hae-won said.

.

Bong-cha entered Y/N's room to see her getting ready. She was tyling her hair. She wore a simple long white floral dress. Bong-cha came to her. Y/n smiled seeing her. "You are looking pretty but you hould have wore something more sexy." Bong-cha said. "Mom, I have told you that I don't wear hort dresses they sufocate my body." Y/N said.

"Nevermind, you are pretty enough to make Jaebom only notice you tonight." Bong-cha teased. "You are too much. Every mom thinks that her daughter is pretty." Y/N said. "But every mother doesn't have a daughter like you, who is beautiful inside out." Bong-cha said caressing Y/N's cheeks with moist eyes.

"Mom." Y/N whined. "Ok, in the function there would be lots of guest right ?" Bong-cha asked and Y/N nodded. "How will Jaebom introduce you ?" Bong-cha asked smiling. "I don't know." Y/N said.

"Let me tell you." Bong-cha said and made her stand in front of mirror. "Meet my beautiful fiancée Dr. Kang Y/N." Y/N greeted dramatically and both laughed. "Well, you are right." A voice was heard and they both turned around to see Jaebom smiling. Bong-cha bit her toungue as if caught doing crime.

"I would introduce Y/N just like this." He said entering inside and greeting. "Well, what is this award function about ?" Bong-cha asked to reduce awkwardness. "All big companies CEOs will come. One of them would be chosen and awarded as best CEO." Jaebom explained. 

"My company is handling the whole event." Jaebom said. "So can I take her ?" He asked. "Mom ?" Y/N asked. "Yes you can." Y/N teased. "You!" Bong-cha and Jaebom laughed. "Enjoy." Bong-cha said and they left. Bong-cha prayed to god to keep everything well.
