Chapter 24

Even though Jimin was really disgusted by what she did to him yesterday, she was his mother. Now seeing the scene, her kneeling, crying, and begging made his heart ache. "Just do as Dad said."

Grandma shifted her gaze at Neon Yun who was still on her knees. She considered it for a moment. "I give you one more chance. This is the last chance. If you still don't know your place, you can immediately pack your things and leave. You wouldn't be welcome here again!"

"I understand, Mom." But because she was kneeling for quite some time, when she stood up her feet were limping, she fell on the floor.

Grandma scoffed and gazed at Y/N. "You can all leave. Y/N, you stay here. I have something to say to you." Grandma instructed and waved her hand.

After everyone left the room, Y/N stared at Grandma's face. She looked unwell. Y/N went to her side and asked: "Grandma, are you feeling alright? Let me help you massage your temples." She offered.

Y/N started massaging her temples gently. After a while, Grandma felt better, she stretched her hand to pat Y/N's hand. "Come, sit."

She sat beside her and stared at her, waiting for her to talk.

"Grandma wants to know about your relationship with Jimin. Recently you both have been in a good relationship, right?" Grandma asked.

Y/N nodded and smiled. "We are quite good."

Grandma also smiled at her "Then it's great. Grandma is old, I don't have much to ask for anymore. I just worry about Joon Min now, so it's a relief that you are good with Jimin. As for Taemin, I hope he gets married soon. It seems that he's close with Jung Krystal, isn't that right?"

"Yes, they both are quite close." Y/N noticed the sadness in her eyes, she held Grandma's hands and said: "Grandma, Taemin oppa will be happy and Joon Min will also get better."

Grandma took a deep breath. "Jimin's Grandpa passed away when I was young. His father is also unreliable as he doesn't have any interest in business. I have been in charge of this household for a long time. Thankfully there is Jimin who helps me in business." She paused to breathe. "Later in the future, when I am not here anymore. I am going to let Jimin take charge of this family, Taemin will also help him. That time, the Park family will be better than now. That's why I want to see Taemin get married, he's almost thirty five years old. If he and Krystal are on good terms, then just set it."

"Grandma, isn't that too hasty?" Yes, their relationship seemed alright, But wouldn't it be too quick?

Grandma chuckled. "I can see that Jung Krystal is a good woman. She is always a good friend of yours. Our Taemin-ie is also a good man. Perhaps they will give me another great-grandchild soon, I will be happy and satisfied." She smiled. "Talk to her about my intentions and I will talk to Taemin. If they agree, then I will invite her parents to our home."

"Okay." Y/N nodded.

"He never had a partner after that girl committed suicide. Even though he doesn't say anything, I always knew that he blames me."  She breathed deep. "Now when I see him with Krystal, I am relieved."

Y/N was puzzled. "Grandma, what happened?"

Grandma retreated her gaze and shook her head. "It's nothing."

In the afternoon, after Y/N went to the neighbor's house to pick Joon Min up, she noticed Jimin was standing in the corner of the window side in the hall. He was looking at the garden. She went over slowly and stood beside him. She stared at him, trying to read his mind but he didn't even notice her.

"What are you looking at?" She finally asked.

Jimin came to his senses and hugged her shoulder. She followed his gaze. Grandma and Joo Hyuk were talking in the garden.

"When she gave birth that year, was it a girl or a boy? Are you certain that she was telling the truth about the baby being dead when she gave birth?"

Neon Yun lied about being sick when she said she wanted to stay in her aunt's house abroad. She was giving birth to a baby. "She told me that the baby was dead. I didn't check furthermore." He didn't really care so he didn't even check if she was telling the truth.

Grandma gazed at her only son. "Ever since that woman is dead, you never care about anything else. Neon Yun is your wife, you should've been controlling her."

Joo Hyuk stayed silent, not saying anything.

"If that year her family didn't come and beg, I would never let her stay, she is nothing but an embarrassment." Grandma shook her head and sighed. "I'm suspicious that her baby was not dead. Look at how she was staying to accompany that singer almost everyday!"

Joo Hyuk narrowed his eyes. "Mom, do you mean that Seulgi is her..."

Grandma nodded. "Neon Yun is too kind to her. It's so unlike her. She said she is the daughter of her friend, but I don't think that it was that simple."

"I will check it as soon as possible." Joo Hyuk assured his mother.

"What a disgrace!" Grandma slapped the table. "No wonder, the first time I saw her, my body was feeling uncomfortable. This could be the reason!"

Upon hearing this, they both stood in surprise. Y/N stared at Jimin, she noticed the frown on his face. Even though they couldn't hear everything they said, they understood the whole picture. Could it be that Seulgi is Neon Yun's kid with another man?

Then it would make Seulgi and Jimin... That couldn't be true.

If Seulgi was Neon Yun's daughter, that would make they're siblings then wouldn't it be incest! If Neon Yun knew this then she wouldn't keep trying to get them together.

"Let's go." Jimin held her hands to leave. He didn't want to hear their conversation anymore.

Jimin was quiet on their way to their bedroom. Y/N looked at him, she knew that he was confused, contemplating his identity. She guided him to sit on the sofa. "If Seulgi is really her daughter, then what about you?"

He leaned and threw his head on the sofa, closing his eyes. "Perhaps I am not hers..."

Y/N gasped, her eyes widened. "How could you say that?"

"Do you remember what she said this morning when she knelt in front of Grandma?"

Y/N nodded and thought about it. Neon Yun said she was the one raising Jimin. Grandma got angry and told her to shut up, then immediately gazed at Jimin. It was obvious that Grandma was afraid, like she was hiding something.

"Grandma also talked about a dead woman." Jimin said in a low tone.

She also recalled that part. When Neon Yun and Joo Hyuk had an argument at the dining table, she also mentioned how his heart was only occupied by a dead woman. Could it be Jimin's biological mother?

Y/N stared at Jimin. He sighed and squeezed his eyes shut. "I will have someone to investigate this matter." He said.

Obviously Jimin noticed that Neon Yun's attitude to Seulgi was not really normal. But even if it wasn't normal, who would have thought that she was not his mother? He never thought of this possibility. Not until he accidentally eavesdropped on his grandmother and father's conversation.

"Okay." Y/N simply said. "Or perhaps you could just ask Grandma or your dad about this. You're an adult, you have the right to know." She added.

"They wouldn't tell me. They already hid it from me all these years, they must have planned to keep it that way." Jimin opened his eyes and held Y/N's hand.

-

Y/N remembered her conversation with Grandma about asking Krystal about her relationship with Taemin. Regardless of Krystal's attitude of not bothering about trifles, and her frank and straightforward attitude. But this is her first serious relationship. When Y/N asked her about it, she was a bit embarrassed.

"If you're serious about this relationship, Grandma wants to invite you to come." Y/N stared at her blushing face.

"It's too fast!" Krystal covered her flustered face with both of her hands.

Y/N tried not to laugh. "I came to see you yesterday but you were not home. I saw his car when he sent you home. But you both stayed inside the car for a long time, what were you guys doing?"

She gasped. "Y/N! What do you mean? We were just talking!" But her face was getting more flustered than before.

"I don't think so. Jimin also saw what you both were doing in-"

Krystal hurriedly covered Y/N's mouth, preventing her from saying more. She looked around the studio to make sure no one heard. It was so embarrassing if someone heard.

When Y/N was about to say more, Jimin called her, so she left to answer his call. He invited her to have dinner together, he said he would pick her up. After the call, she went to Krystal's side and patted her shoulder. She was still blushing. "Come to Park residence with Taemin this weekend. Grandma wants to meet you formally. Even though you met her, this time won't be the same. She wants to meet you as her future granddaughter-in-law."

After Jimin arrived at their dancing studio to pick her up, he took her to dinner. Then after dinner, Jimin pulled into a shopping center. In front of La Perla to be exact. "I will wait here for you, go inside."

Y/N glared at him. "I don't need new undergarments."

"Yes you do." Jimin's eyes fell on her breast. "As it gets bigger, you need a bigger size to breathe freely."

Y/N was speechless, so this was his reason for taking her here. Even though it was very considerate of him, it was still somehow embarrassing. "I don't need it."

He raised his eyebrows at her. "You really don't want to choose?"

"No." Y/N shook her head while crossing her hands. She didn't even look at the man beside her.

"Then good." It was the first time he didn't force her, he just drove his car.

But after two days, Y/N understood why he didn't force her. She received a big package today, she took it to the bedroom to open it. There were a lot of undergarments and lingerie inside. She examined a few of them, they were a size bigger than her usual. She then put them back inside.

At night when she finished her shower, she noticed Jimin was sitting on the bed with the package she received today on his side.

"Come here." Jimin gestured with his chin. But Y/N noticed the reason behind his smirk, it couldn't be a good intention so she didn't come over.

Jimin patted the mattress. "I said, come here." Noticing she was not moving, he added: "Don't make me have to come get you."

Y/N finally went over and stood in front of him. But she didn't want to stand too close to him. She felt she needed to maintain some distance from him. But Jimin knew that, he stretched his hand and pulled her to bed, she now sat down beside him.

He passed the package to her. "Have you tried them? Does it fit?"

Y/N gazed at the box and stared at him "So you went there and personally picked them up?"

"No, I had someone choose and pick them all." Jimin answered.

She immediately narrowed her eyes at him: "Who did you ask?"

"Just..." Jimin was about to answer but he stopped. He looked at her and raised his eyebrow. "Are you jealous?" His lip crooked up.

"No." Y/N rolled her eyes.

Jimin didn't want to continue and shifted the conversation back to the box. He hugged her shoulder. "I asked Taehyung to look for a personal shopper to get them." He opened the box and grabbed a pair of black undergarments and swayed it in front of her. "Try these for me. Let me help to check whether it fits or not."

Y/N didn't let him finish his words, she took the undergarments and threw them to his face. "If you want to try, then try it by yourself."

The bra fell on his head, she found the scene in front of her to be humorous. She put her hands on her belly and laughed out loud.

Jimin's face turned dark. "If you still dare to laugh, I will tie you to the bed and put them one by one to try it on your body." He warned.
