Y/n carresed marshmallow. "Are you also missing Minji ?" Yn asked. Ari came with coffee. "Uniee, what are your thoughts about Minji's daughter ?" Ari asked.
"What do you mean ?" Y/n frowned. "I mean she was so cold and emotionless, like she wasn't doing this for Minji." Ari said. "She didn't give vibe of a goo mom.." Ari said.
"Whatever she maybe but she is a mom, and a mother is a mother. That night she did wanted to come but that man stopped her." Y/n frowned remebering the night.
"She was worried about her daughter. Whatever the case maybe, atleast she would be better than Jeon Jungkook." Y/n scoffed.
"That Jungkook doesn't even tries to hide that he isn't interested in his daughter. Mina is better than him... I hope." Y/n said last part to herself.
"I hope too." Ari said. "I too am worried about Minji. But I can't do anything, I am not her mother." Y/n said with moist eyes.
"That is the case unniee, the one who cares and loves has no right." Ari said keeping her hand on Y/n's shoulder. "And the one who has right doesn't care." Ari frowned.
"You know unniee, if there was a competition in loving and caring for others, you will be the sole winner." Ari said hugging Y/n.
Y/n smiled at her fondly.
.
"Get her at any cost, I want my Minji back." Hae-won cried. Yeji and Nari sat at either side of Hae-won and consoled her.
Jungkook stood there in deep thoughts and frustration building inside him.
"Calm down, mom." Yeji said with tears in her eyes. "We won't spare that y/n. We will definitely get Minji back." She said.
"I want my Minji. Get her back." Hae-won said crying.
"Calm down, wonniee. What will crying do ?" Hyun-tae asked.
"Let's calm ourselves and think. We will think of something." He said.
"What solution do you have ? How will you bring my Minji back ?" Hae-won asked standing up.
"Y/n, publicly said that Jungkook is a bad father and we are a careless family." Hae-won said with choked voice. "Adding to it, Minji wasn't safe with us and happy with us." Hae-won's voice cracke at end.
"You were pretty sympathetic towards that Y/n. You accused us of ruining her life." Hae-won said sarcastically to Hyun-tae.
"Now you see who ruined whose life, Hyun-tae. Because of her our granddaughter went to Mina." Hae-won said angrily.
"She took revenge on us by separating our kid from us. It was a slap from her on our face in front of whole world." Hae-won said sadly.
"Those people from child welfare so easily said that we don't care for our child and she wasn't safe with us and then handed her to that deceitful Mina." Hae-won said with hatred.
"Mina, that woman who is a blemish as a mother. For money, leaving her six month old daughter behind with her husband's boss." Hae-won said with disgust.
"That woman can never take care and kepp Minji happy." Hae-won declared. "Minji is dearest to me. I am her grandmother but I have loved her like a mother would do." hae-won said with broken voice.
"Is she not safe with us ? Do we not care for her ?" Hae-won asked Hyun-tae. "Y/n, that girl was shouting in the interview. Jungkook is a worse father than he is as a human." Hae-won said.
Jungkook clenched his fists. "What does she know about my son ? He works hard day and night. He is busy with meetings... for whom ?" Hae-won said with tears running down.
"For his daughter, so she can live comfortably. Y/n has took revenge on us. She handed my child to that woman." Hae-won said sobbing.
"That woman didn't even looked back when she left with her boyfriend. She may have given birth but she never loved Minji. It's not her cup of tea to take care of her." Hae-won said and looked at Jungkook.
"Jungkook." She said an went towards Jungkook. She held his arm, Jungkook looked at her and his heart pained to see his mother like this.
"Brig Minji, back dear." She pleaded. She joined her hands, "I beg you." Jungkook held her hands and shook his head.
"Please bring my Minji back." hae-won sobbed. "Do whatever you have to but bring her back."
"Don't cry. I have always kept my promises to you, you know your son." Jungkook said determined. "I promise you and everyone that I will bring Minji back home." Jungkook said looking at everyone.
"What ever happened was unfair to us. They will know of it. I know.. I am not a good father." Jungkook said with a little crack.
Hae-won shook her head. "But you are a very good grandmother, and dad is a goo grandfather. You have always made Minji smile." Jungkook said with a little smile.
"For you, for myself I will bring Minji back." Jungkook said and hugged his mom.
.
Ari came out of her house to keep the garbage in bin. Just then Hanwoo also came out from Jungkook's house. Ari glared at him and was about to go inside but Hanwoo stopped her.
"I want to talk to you." He said. "Why should I ? And what right do you have to stop me ?" Ari asked.
"I am not here to talk about us. I want to talk about Minji. Why did your Y/n unniee did this ?" Hanwoo asked sternly.
"Hae-won ajumma is sobbing her heart out. You know, since Minji's birth she has raised her very carefully." Hanwoo said with emotion.
"Is that how your unniee took her revenge ? And Jungkook, she ruined his reputation. Your cousin took away the happiness of this house." Hanwoo said pointing towards the door of Jeons.
"Wow." Ari scoffed. "Once again you showed your loyalty for your hyung, Hanwoo." Ari said. "Today your hyung and his family is troubled so you are asking an explaination from me. From me ?" Ari asked.
"Where were you when your hyung sent my Imo to jail ?" Ari asked furiously. "Instead of seeing me in person you didn't even called me." Ari said.
"Both of them were innocent too. My unniee did right thing." Ari said. "She didn't sent Minji to jail but sent her to her mom. Atleast she will stay happy with her."
Ari was about to leave. "What do you even know about her mother ? You're mistaken..." Hanwoo scoffed. "About staying happy with her mom." Hanwoo continued.
"Your unniee ruined Minji's life." He said. "Mark my words, your uniee will regret her mistake. She will blame herself for handing Minji to Mina." Hanwoo said.
"Even if that happens I am still by my unniee's side." Ari said. "Just like how you are standing by your hyung." Ari saying this slammed the door.
.
Mina made Minji sit on bed. The room had pink colour walls. The room had shelves stuffed with toys and games. It had a wardrobe for clothes and shoes. The maids were setting the room.
Mina crouched down to Minji's level. "Do you know whose room is this ?" Mina asked. Minji stared at her confused.
"Ok, let me tell you." Mina said in childish voice. "It's yours !" Mina laughed. "pretty, isn't it ? I personally designed it for you." Mina said and picked her up and made her stand on bed.
"Now stand here and I will surprise you." Mina said an opened cupboard which had numerous stuff toys. "Oh,what is this Minji ?" Mina asked.
"A cute teddy bear." Mina took a black and white teddy bear and showed to Minji. "Isn't it pretty and cute just like you ?" Mina said smiling.
"Oh my god ! I didn't tell you about special surprise." Mina said gasping. "Yuna ?" She asked her maid to open the wardrobe.
"Wow, so pretty dresses." Mina said showing her. "You aren't speaking so let's ask Yuna. Who these dresses, shoes belong to ?"
"Ms. Minji." Yuna said smiling. "Did you like it ? Let me show you a special dress." Mina said and took out a red coloured satin gown with pearls around it's waist and neckline.
"My baby will look princess in this." Mina said but Minji had no reaction. "Ok, come here." Mina took her in her arms and made her sit on bed.
"let's play board games. I'll teach you, okay ?" Mina said and took a board game. She saw her dull face. "Why are you sad ?" Mina asked carressing her cheeks.
"Do you want to eat ? Ok, let's eat." Mina said and called for food. A servant brought trolley filled with different foods. "What will you eat ? Pizza, burger, chips, or..." Mina picked a packet.
"Swiss chocolate." Mina said excited. She forwarded one to her. Mina didn't showed any reaction. "Those Jeons haven't taught anything to my daughter." Mina mumbled.
"No worries, I will teach you. I will teach you to be queen." Mina said and unwrapped a chocolate n forwarded it. "I don't want to eat." Mnji said backing her face.
"Some people's standard doesn't change overnight, darling." Namjoon said entering clad in a blue suit. "She has been staying with Jeon for so many years, she wouldn't be used to swiss chocolate." Namjoon mocked.
Mina stood up. "Don't forget she is my daughter too. In sometime I will make her like me, wait and watch." Mina said haughtily. "And don't talk like this in front of her." Mina warned.
"Oh, you seem to be angry, I am sorry baby." Namjoon said and sat beside Minji. "I don't have any rivalry with this kid. Utmost care would be taken of her. These two are at this work only." Namjoon said.
"Now, let's go." Namjoon said standing. "Where ?" Mina asked confused. "Mr Kim who gave soft drink's contract to Jungkook, he has now given it to me after that interview. He is throwing a party."
"I am happy for you Joon, but can I not go ?" Mina asked holding his hands. "Today only Minji has come to home, I want to spend entire day with her, for making our bonding stronger." Mina said.
"It's upto you, but don't blame me if Mr. Kim makes someone else as face of the product." Namjoon said smiling. Mina's smile faded.
"I don't think you should miss this oppurtunity." Namjoon persuaded. "Right, actually you are right. I will go with you. Give me 10 mins, to ready." Mina said.
"Ok, I want you to be the most beautiful one tonight." Namjoon said kissing her hands. "I always do." Mina said. Nmjoon left. Mina sat beside a lost Minji.
"Baby, mumma has to go for sometime, in between if you need anything, ask them. Mumma loves you." Mina kissed Minji's forehead and left leaving a confused Minji.
.
Bong-cha, Y/n and Seohee were discussing about whether it was right to send Minji with her mom when doorbell rang. Bong-cha got up and opened the door.
Jaebom greeted her. Bong-cha smiled and let him in. "Come inside, Jaebom." Y/n got up from sofa seeing Jaebom. "Why did you came here now ?" She asked.
"Y/n ?" Bong-cha asked shocked. "That's not the way to talk." Bong-cha said sternly. "Actually, I need to talk to you." Jaebom said to Y/n. "Jaebom, I..." Y/n began but was cut off by Bong-cha.
"Of course you can talk to her." She said. "Till you talk, Seohee let's go an find marshmallow." They both left from there.
"I think we had cleared everything between us." Y/n said. "Look, Y/n, whatever happened was my fault. I was foolish." Jaebom said softly.
"I shouln't have broken our engagement in anger. I am really sorry. I don't know what had gotten into me." Jaebom said with an apologetic face.
"I am sincerely apologising for my mistake. I just came here so that we can get together back." Jaebom said. Y/n was staring blankly.
"I know you are angry and your anger is justified. But try to understand my situation." Jaebom said defending. "You were missing from your engagement, Mrs. Kang lied to us, then police arrived and arrested them."
"Me and my parents were getting one shock after another, so tell me how would have I reacted ? If your parents were in our place you would have done the same..." Jaebom said.
"No, neither my parents or I would have done that." Y/n said to him. "I wouldn't have abandoned you in such situation, I would have stood by you." Y/n said shuting him up.
"Do you even know what I went through today ?" Y/n asked. "Oh, sorry, how would you know ? You broken up with me and left." Y/n scoffed.
"Look I understand you are upset but please understand my situation..." Jaebom explained. "I would have tried, if you wouldn't have thought about yourself but thought about my parents when police arrested them then I would have." Y/n said.
"But you did nothing of sort, and it made me realised that it's good that I didn't get engaged to you or it would have been worst mistake of my life." Y/n said.
"Look, Jaebom, we are very different. We have different mindsets, different mentalities and prioirities. Our outlook on life and relationships is different. So I think this decision is right." Y/n said and grabbed his wrists and mae him out of the house.
"Y/n, think again." Jaebom asked. "I am as sure as I could be." Y/n said. Just then Jungkook came up from stairs. He glared at Y/n who glared back. "Mr. Jungkook." Jaebom went to him.
"On your insistence I apologised to Y/n. I tried to patch up but she taunted me and threw me out of the house." Jaebom complaied. Y/n was surprised hearing this.
"Good. You are saved, girls like her don't deserve someone's sympathy and compassion." Jungkook said through gritted teeth. "They deserve lonliness their whole life."
"And people like you deserve hatred." Y/n said and went near them. She looked at Jaebom and scoffed. "I don't know who is more disgusting in both of you."
"One who came to my house with fake sympathy to patch up with me on someone else's behest.." Y/n said looking at Jebom the shifted her gaze to Jungkook.
"Or the one who gave such a idea." Y/n said. "I don't know who to detest more, who got my parents arrested and humiliated them, ruined my life..." Y/n looked at Jaebom.
"Or who compromised his conscience for money." Y/n again looked at Jungkook. "What do you think ? that after ruining my life you can fix it with money ? Mr. Jeon you know I was thinking whether I did right thing with Minji, but now I am sure that it served you right." Y/n said.
"Shut up !" Jungkook roared. "Don't speak things when you don't understand them. Don't prove your stupidity everytime you get chance." Jungkook said angrily.
"I am smart enough, Mr. jeon. I understood that an innocent child can't stay with a arrogant, ill-mannered and heartless person like you." Y/n spt and went back and slammed the door.
"Sir, I did what you said. You won't cancel contract, right ?" Jaebom asked. "Get lost." Jungkook said furiously and went to his house.
.
Y/n was cleaning the dishes furiously and thinking of the past memories with Mnji.
"Is it paining ? Let me kiss it."
The time when Minji was locked in the room.
The time when Minji gave locket to Y/n. When she was in hospital.
"These type of girls don't deserve anyone's sympathy. They deserve lonliness."
Just then water splashed into her eyes breaking her thoughts. Her eyes were brimmed with tears. Bong-cha saw her. She knew her daughter was sad as she always starts doing cleaning if she is upset or sad.
"Y/n, stop it. Don't do this. The maid will clean it." Bong-cha said. "No, mom it's almost done." Y/n said. "Y/nniee, talk to me, your heart will be lightened."
"There is nothig to talk mom. Let me do dishes." Y/n said as a tear spilled out. "Take this." Bong-cha forwarded the phone. "Talk with Minji, I know you are missing her." Bong-cha said. Y/n shook her head and went from there.
Bong-cha looked at her sadly. "I don't know when she will be truly happy." Bong-cha said.
