Y/n with her mom and dad was sitting in living room while having coffee.
"Whenever seokie is home, there is such a good energy in house." Y/n said.
"That's the kind of energy the kids bring." Mrs. Kang said chuckling.
"With them everything seems beautiful." Y/n remembers her adoption application being rejected.
Y/n's mood turned sour. Mr. Kang noticed this. "Bong..." He said. Mrs. Kang sighed.
"What should I make for breakfast ?" She asked bringing y/n out of her thoughts.
"Uh, mom I have to go to market to bring some art material for seokie." Y/n said.
Mrs Kang nodded. Just then doorbell rang and y/n got up to answer it.
She opened the door and was surprised to see Mrs Jung with a crying minji on her arms.
Minji immediately went in y/n's arms. Y/n patted her head. "What happened dear ? Why are you crying ?" She asked.
"What happened Mrs Jung, you came this early in morning ?" Y/n asked.
"I don't know from morning she is crying and just saying one thing that she wants to go to y/n sangmo. So I brought her here." Mrs Jung said.
Mr and Mrs Kang also came there and looked worried at minji.
"No worries, you come inside." Y/n said.
.
"Minji, you are a good girl, aren't you ? Don't cry dear." Y/n said caressing Minji's cheek.
"I don't want to go to hostel. " Minji said hugging y/n.
'Hostel ? Ms Mina is sending her hostel ? Why is she doing this ?' Y/n thought frowning.
"I don't want to go hostel. I want to stay here. They said they will send me to hostel." Minji said.
"Mrs Jung, what exactly happened ?" Y/n asked.
"Well, last night Namjoon sir, and mina mam said that she would have to go to hostel And stay there alone. So she got scared and didn't even slept all night."
'What type of man is that Kim Namjoon ? He doesn't knows how to talk to children.' Y/n thought.
"Sending such young girl to hostel..." Mrs Kang trailed off.
"Where is minji ? Minji ?" Y/n said searching. Minji frowned as she was sitting in her lap.
"I am right here." She said. "You are here but where is that ?" Y/n said.
"What!?" Minji asked. "Hey, that's an important thing. You lost it somewhere ?"
Y/n asked.
"What!?" Minji asked impatient. "Your smile. Where is it ?" Y/n said.
"We have to find her." Y/n said. "How ?" Minji asked innocently.
"Hmm, here it comes..." Y/n said and tickled minji. Minji laughed loudly. Everyone smiled seeing her laughing.
"Now we will have to bring smile on your tummy. Let's eat something then we will call your mom that you are here." Y/n said.
"No, not mom. I want just sangmo." Minji said. "But we have to inform her." Y/n said.
"No, they keep fighting. I just want you." Minji said and hugged her neck.
"Ok, we won't call anyone. But promise you won't be sad." Y/n said.
'How miserable they have made this poor girl's condition. But I am helpless, I don't have right to keep you. Our relation is based on love not rights. I have to inform your parents.' Y/n thought.
.
"Let me call Ms mina." Y/n called but the phone came switched off.
"Where is Mrs Jung." Mrs Kang asked. "She had some important work so i said I will drop minji." Y/n said.
Mrs Kang nodded. "Did you called mina ?"
"I did but her phone is switched off."
"Leave her a message then." Mrs Kang said and y/n nodded.
She left a message to mina about minji's stay in her house.
"I've to hear that grumpy man's voice too." Y/n sighed and called jungkook.
"Why isn't he answering ?" Y/n frowned and again dialed.
.
"They don't let me bath in peace. Who is it ? What's the emergency ?" Jungkook yelled from bathroom.
He slid the door and poked his head out. "I don't know who is calling up so many times in morning. Mom! Nari! "
Jungkook got out of bathroom wearing a towel around his waist.
"They don't even let me shower in peace." He said and picked the phone.
"Now why is she calling me ?" He said seeing the caller id.
Y/n got out of her house. "Wish I could tell him, that if he isn't answering my phone, I am also not eager to talk to him."
Y/n went up to door and rang the bell.
"Now who's at door ? Tae!" Jungkook yelled.
Y/n again rang bell. Jungkook came down. "Mom! Nari! Where is everyone ?"
"Who is si early in morning ?" He muttered.
Y/n was about to knock when she noticed that the door is unlocked.
She pushed the door open.
"Ahhhh!!! " Both jungkook and y/n yelled simultaneously and turned around making their backs facing each other.
Y/n was about to leave when jungkook spoke up with back still facing.
"My home isn't a garden ! For you to stroll all the time." Jungkook said.
"Thankfully, I had this towel on, it saved my honour. Indecent girl." Jungkook said.
"What!? Indecent..." Y/n gasped while turning back.
"Did you call me indecent .."
"Turn around..." Jungkook said. " Yes.. I rang the bell so many times. I didn't just barge in. The door was opened."
"I'd rather gouge my eyes out than to see you in this state !" Y/n said shuddering.
"If you are so worried about your honour why are you roaming without clothes." Y/n said.
"Do you wear clothes while bathing ?" Jungkook said mocking.
"You're speaking so indecently... " Y/n again turned but jungkook asked to turn around.
"Yes, I am not seeing... You yourself are speaking so indecently."
"Shut up and dont turn around ! Why we're you calling me ? I was taking a shower." Jungkook said.
"What was the emergency ?" Y/n sighed.
"If it wasn't important I wouldn't have come here." Y/n said defending.
"What important thing ? You must be here to fight again.. That is your part-time job. Quarrelsome girl." Jungkook accused.
"I'm not quarrelsome, you are. I just came to inform that minji is at my..." Y/n again turned.
"You turn around!" Jungkook said. "She is at my house!!" Y/n said frustrated.
"Minji? She is at your home ?" Jungkook asked surprised.
"Yes. I came here in emergency because last time I took minji took hospital, you got my family arrested. So I don't want to repeat that." Y/n said.
Jungkook was silent. "Well, I informed Ms. Mina also." Y/n said.
"Why did you informed her ?" Jungkook asked annoyed.
"Why shouldn't I ? Minji stays with her, right ?" Y/n said defending.
"And I am taking minji out." Y/n said. "Where ?" Jungkook asked.
"I am taking her to a place where minji and I can relax well." Y/n said and was about to leave.
"What's the name of the place ?" Jungkook asked following.
"Please don't follow me." Y/n said stopping. "If neighbours see you roaming naked like a mermaid, they will gossip about you." Y/n said and left.
"No one gossips about me, they gossip about you only." Jungkook said shouting.
He looked around the door to see if anyone saw him and quickly closed the door.
.
Minji and y/n came in parking area. "Hurry, sangmo, or else dada will come." Minji said.
"Ahem!!" Someone cleared their throat. Y/n looked behind and saw jungkook standing near his car.
Minji quickly his behind y/n. "Minji, dear toy were missing dada right ? See he is here. Don't be scared." Y/n said.
"Why are you scared, dear ?" Jungkook said coming towards them. "But why did you behind her ?" Jungkook said glaring at y/n.
'He doesn't even know how to speak to kids. Scared poor girl again.' Y/n thought.
"Did you say something ?" Jungkook asked.
"What tone are you using with a kid ?" Y/n said sternly.
"What are you doing here even ? Tell me."
Y/n asked frowning. "I will drop you to the place you want to go." He said and walked to his car.
"I don't have much time, please." He urged.
"Thanks but no thanks, Mr Jeon, we are not interested in going with you." Y/n said smiling.
"What the heck!" Jungkook angrily walked to her.
"Don't you understand once ? She is my daughter, so come with me." Jungkook said.
"I won't." Y/n said firmly. "Listen, I am telling you, come with me. I have an important meeting also." Jungkook said.
"Oh, you are very busy nan, so go to your meeting." Y/n said mocking.
"Don't you understand me ?" Jungkook said gritting his teeth.
"You don't understand. I said we are going, we means minji and I, did you included yourself also..." She mocked.
"You- whatever." Jungkook huffed and went to his car. Y/n took minji to her car.
Jungkook sat in his car. He turned the ignition on but car didn't started. He again tried but no success.
Y/n parked her car besides jungkook's car. She honked the horn. Jungkook looked at his side.
Y/n again honked the car. Jungkook looked ahead ignoring her. Y/n sighed and opened the passenger's door.
Jungkook sighed and opened his car door and entered her car.
"Seatbelt !" Y/n ordered. Jungkook tuck his seatbelt. "Happy ?" He smiled and y/n smiled back.
Minji smiled seeing jungkook.
.
"It feels like I am getting cramped in this small car." Jungkook muttered.
"Then get out." Y/n spat. Then his phone rang.
"Yes, Hanwoo ? Today's meeting with Mr. Baek , please handle it." Jungkook said.
"What!? Hyung, this meeting is so important. What is more important for you ?" Hanwoo asked.
"What do you mean more important-" Jungkook shouted but stopped seeing y/n looking at him.
"Look, I can't come today and what do I have you guys for ?" Jungkook said frustrated.
"Ok, calm down hyung, I will handle it." Hanwoo said sensing jungkook's anger rising.
Jungkook hung up the call. 'He gave up his work for minji, wow.' Y/n smiled.
"Would you tell where we are going ?" Jungkook asked.
"It's a surprise dada." Minji said from back. "Tsk, child knows more than this man." Y/n mumbles.
"Did you say something ?" Jungkook asked. "No and it would be better if you don't say anything too." Y/n said.
'I am tolerating this girl only because of minji. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed around her for a moment.' Jungkook thought rubbing his face.
'She is a bundle of trouble.' Jungkook thought sighing.
"I think the same about you too." Y/n yelled. "Did you hear something ?" Jungkook asked.
"Of course, if you think so loudly, it will be heard." Y/n said shrugging.
Jungkook gave a humorless laugh. "Yes, now you can even listen to the thoughts."
Then the car suddenly came to a halt.
"What happened sangmo ?" Minji asked. "Nothing dear, your sangmo acts upmarket, so her car is also acting same." Jungkook scoff.
"Dear, when some people talk nonsense and you don't pay heed to them then they call it acting upmarket." Y/n said glaring at jungkook.
"Get started, my b..." Y/n said but jungkook interrupted. "Don't abuse before the kid."
"What abusing ? I was going to say start my baby." Y/n defended.
"It's similar. Something like that." Jungkook said. "There is no similarity. You imagine anything." Y/n shouted.
"Now, please go out and push the car." Y/n said. "Me ? And push the car ?" Jungkook asked.
"Why ? Are you a fragile flower ? No problem I can ask someone else." Y/n said.
"Wait, I will push." Jungkook said and got out of car. He removed his coat and threw it on y/n.
"What the heck are you doing ?" She shouted.
Jungkook rolled his sleeves. "What a problem! Well, if I will stay with trouble itself, then trouble will surely follow."
"Why aren't you pushing ?" Y/n shouted. "I am pushing." Jungkook shouted.
"Come on, dada." Minji cheered.
Y/n started ignition, and jungkook pushed the car.
Then his phone rang. "Wait."
He put Bluetooth in his ear. "Yes, hanwoo ? I saw your message, there's an old presentation, modify it and some points to presentation, ok ?" Jungkook said.
Y/n got out of car and went to him. "Listen, you go and sit inside." She said.
"Yes, hyung I am adding all the new points in the PPT." Hanwoo said from other side.
"No need." Jungkook said to y/n. "What ? Does that mean I shouldn't add points ?" Hanwoo frowned.
"I am not talking to you." Jungkook said. "But I am talking to you, go and sit inside the car. I'll push it. It's not your cup of tea." Y/n said.
"Shut up ! Just shut up, okay." Jungkook yelled.
"I haven't said anything so why are you saying shut up." Hanwoo said concerned.
"Hey, not you..." Jungkook said. "How dare you ! Did you tell me to shut up ?" Y/n gasped.
"You couldn't even push the car and I am talking nonsense ?" Y/n accused him.
"How can you say so ? I did push the car." Jungkook said. "Yes, you have no strength."
"What the hell is this." Jungkook said and went towards car. "Go and sit in car."
"Yes, I am getting in the car." Jungkook said annoyed.
"Wait, do you know how to drive car ?" Y/n asked. "Of course, I know but do you know ? Your car is like a matchbox."
"My car isn't matchbox. It's you who is a ominous person. The moment you sat in my car, my car isn't starting." Y/n said.
"Look who's talking, you yourself are-"
"You came here forcibly." Y/n interrupted him. "She herself is--" Jungkook again tried but y/n didn't let him speak.
"Turn on ignition, fast. Come on." She said. Jungkook massaged his face getting frustrated.
Y/n always succeeded in getting on his nerves.
Y/n pushed the car hardly. Few girls were standing near and saw it.
"Today, women are walking shoulder to shoulder with man and men are roaming around being delicate."
"She is pushing the car alone and that sturdy man is sitting comfortably." They mocked.
Jungkook got off the car and went to y/n. Y/n grins and leaned on car.
"Go and sit inside, I will push the car." He said. "Why ? Your manliness got hurt so came to push now." She laughed.
Jungkook laughed mocking. "This was very funny."
"It is funny." Y/n said. " I don't care what people say, the car hasn't moved even an inch." Jungkook said making y/n glare.
"You yourself are weak and want to become a macho ?" Jungkook scoffed.
"Listen, let's push together." Y/n said ignoring him. Jungkook rolled his sleeves.
"You dress up first, okay ? Always showing off." Y/n said taunting.
Jungkook closed his eyes. "Where am I stuck today ?" He said and pushed the car from front.
The car finally started and they sighed in relief. Jungkook drove the car and y/n sat on passenger seat.
.
The trio entered the mall. Minji skipped happily in whole mall.
Y/n smiled at her. "Toy shop!!" Minji yelled and ran off. "Minji!!" Y/n yelled.
"See the bags." Y/n said to jungkook who was busy on phone. He took the trolley and followed them.
Minji and y/n entered the shop. Mini picked up two stuffed toys.
One a brown teddy and other a green frog.
"Which should I take sangmo ?" Minji asked.
"Brown." Y/n said and took brown Teddy and kept it on trolley jungkook was holding.
Y/n liked one more teddy bear. She tried to pick up the bear but it was too high.
Jungkook saw this and sighed. He went up and held the bear. Y/n flinched as she felt jungkook pressing his chest on y/n's back.
Y/n felt nervous and looked up. Jungkook glanced down at her. Both were looking at each other when minji spoke.
"Hurry up sangmo and dada." They both stepped back and jungkook kept the bear in trolley.
Minji saw a toy watch. "Wow!!" She liked the watch and picked it up. She stuffed the watch in y/n's handbag.
Y/n didn't noticed this. They went to other sections in mall.
They came to clothes section. Y/n saw a beautiful peach dress.
"That's a dull color." Jungkook said. "It's minji's favorite color." Y/n said.
"Yes, my favorite color." Minji clapped happily. "And size..." Y/n sized up the dress.
"That won't fit her." Jungkook said and looked through other dresses.
Y/n took the dress and measured with minji. "Perfect!" She said glancing at jungkook.
Jungkook was jealous. He grabbed minji's hand.
"Come here, see how's this ?" Jungkook said showing a green dress. Minji giggled.
"Dada, that is too big for me and this..." Minji said taking the dress from y/n.
"It is perfect." She said. Y/n smiled and jungkook was fuming.
"If you want to know your kid then you have to spend time with them. You are always on phone then work. This is not how you take care of kids." Y/n whispered.
"Minji, let's go. Uhh, trolley." Y/n said to jungkook and left.
Jungkook took the trolley and followed. "Always giving lectures."
Y/n took peach coloured flats. "Look, this would go well with your peach dress." She said.
Jungkook came with blue shoes. "Minji, try these." He said. A worker came to them.
"Sorry sir, you took them from boys section." She said. Y/n suppressed her laugh.
Jungkook gave the shoes to worker. He was hella embarrassed.
"Let's do payment now." Y/n said and went to cash counter.
They got in line. "I got this." Jungkook said. "No I can pay." Y/n said.
"Don't you understand, I said I will pay." Jungkook argued.
"But I always buy my things." Y/n shrugs. "But these aren't yours, these are my daughters." Jungkook said.
"But she came to me and I brought her here." Y/n spoke with smile.
Jungkook didn't had energy to argue so he left it as it.
Y/n rummage through her handbag. She frowned. "Where are my cards ?"
Jungkook scoff. "Wait, I'll be back." She said and got out from line.
She came to side and called Ari.
"Hello, Ari. I think I forgot my cards at home. Can you bring my wallet in XX mall ?" She asked.
"Yes, unniee, I am coming." Ari said from other side.
"Can it be in the car ? I should check." Y/n went through the exit.
The monitor beeped. "Wait, mam. I will have to check your bag." The guard said.
"What!? But there is nothing inside." Y/n said confused. "But I have to check." He insists.
"Ok, here." Y/n gave her handbag to him. The guard dug through the bag and took out a watch.
"What is this ?" He asked. "I don't know how it came in my bag." Y/n said bewildered.
"This is what everyone says. You look from a decent family. Then why do you steal ?" He said.
"I am not a theif." Y/n said firmly as she was offended. "I am a dentist and earn quite well. Why would I steal ?"
"You have to talk to manager." He said. "Wha-"
A man came there. "Sir, she was caught stealing this." He showed the watch. "I didn't steal." Y/n said fiercely.
"It must have fallen by mistake." She said. "Mam, shoplifting is a crime." Manager said.
"But I didn't steal." Y/n said frustrated. Jungkook saw the commotion and came there.
"What happened ?" He asked. "Sir, she was running after stealing this watch." Manager said.
"Is this watch made of gold ? Tell me. Will I buy a mansion with this ?" Y/n mocked.
"Perhaps you are mistaken. She is not a theif." Jungkook said. Y/n sighed in relief seeing him taking her side.
"She is a dentist. She pays for whatever she buys." He added. "Exactly." Y/n said proudly.
"She just has a small disease." Jungkook said looking sad. Y/n looked at him suspiciously.
"Actually she has kleptomania. A disorder of stealing things." Jungkook aus making y/n stare at him in horror.
"It's not like she wants to steal, it's just an addiction. That's why always whenever she picks anything up..." Jungkook glanced at y/n who was looking at him blankly.
"I pay for it. Here, my card, please pay from it." Jungkook handed the card over.
"Sorry sir, I didn't knew there was such a disease. Please take care of her." Manager said and handed the bag to y/n.
"Off course, I take care of her. That's why I always follow her everywhere. She creates problem and I solve it, right ?" Jungkook smiled at y/n.
Y/n smiled and stomped her heels on his black shoes. "Ouch!!" Jungkook hissed in pain.
She poked her tongue at him and left.
.
"Is everything finished now ?" Jungkook asked tired. Y/n nodded.
They turned around and jungkook saw hanwoo with a man, a woman and two kids.
Hanwoo also saw him. The man looked at jungkook and waved. They came to him.
"Hi, Mr. Jeon." The man greeted. "Hello, Mr. Baek. " Jungkook smiled.
"Didn't hanwoo say that you couldn't come ?" Mr. Baek asked.
"Uhh.." Jungkook was about to reply when Mr. Baek saw y/n talking with minji.
"Oh, so you are with your president. I see." Mr. Baek laughed.
Mrs. Baek greeted y/n who also greeted back. "I am also with my president."
"This is your better-half right ?" Mr. Baek said making both jungkook and y/n dumbstruck.
"It's good that you were on shopping with your wife or else if you said any other lie, I would have canceled the deal." Mr. Baek said.
Jungkook could only hear one thing 'cancel the deal.'
He nervously smiled. "Haha."
The kids ran away from their parents. "Wait, hani, wooshik!!" Mrs. Baek yelled.
Mr. Baek also ran behind them. "Uh, I will be back." Hanwoo said escaping.
"Hey, I -" Jungkook looked at y/n who was glaring at him.
"Can you uh, pretend to be my wife ?" Jungkook said. "What!?" Y/n shouted.
