"You two planned your wedding at the end of the year, but let's move the date forward. I'll have someone arrange it." Grandma looked really excited, she didn't know she was standing up saying that.

The atmosphere in the Park family was really depressing before, it had been a while since a good thing happened. So now it was full of joy.

Taemin patted her hand and said: "Don't worry Grandma, we will arrange it by ourselves. And Krystal wants to have a wedding after she gives birth."

Grandma turned her gaze at Krystal. "Why?"

Just like before, her face was still blushing. "I don't want to wear my wedding dress when my belly is bloated, Grandma."

Krystal was already two months pregnant and she wanted to have her dream wedding, so it would take a while. So she thought it would be better to wait until the kid was born. She also wanted to take beautiful pre-wedding photos, wear a beautiful wedding dress and go on honeymoon too.

"Alright." Grandma chuckled, of course she understood. She was a woman after all. "You both can postpone the wedding but you should register your marriage first then."

"You have nothing to worry about, Grandma." Taemin smiled. "After this morning we found out, we also registered our marriage this afternoon."

"You children are really fast." Grandma smiled, feeling content about it. "Now that Krystal is pregnant, you should return and live here. I can't be at ease if you don't." She asked.

"There are a lot of people here, we can take good care of Krystal. You're always busy, you won't be able to accompany her at all times. It's better for the both of you to live here."

Taemin shook his head. "No, Grandma. It's better for us to live in our own house. I will have people to take care of Krystal."

Grandma frowned. "Mom, they want their own privacy. Don't force them to stay here. Let them decide for themself."

She was not an unreasonable person, she could understand. After thinking about it, she then just let them be.

Taemin pushed the door of the private room and went inside. Jimin and Jin were sitting on the round couch, there was a lot of alcohol on the table in front of them. He took off his coat and folded his sleeves. "Why did you guys order so much alcohol? Are you trying to drown in them?"

Jimin's thighs were spread open while leaning on the sofa. He was holding his glass and glared at Taemin. "Why are you so nosy? I invite you for a drink, of course there will be this much alcohol." He opened a bottle and passed it to Taemin, and also one for Jin.

"Just drink it like this?" Jin asked because he didn't give them a glass.

"It's more fun to drink it like this." Jimin started gulping his bottle.

"Okay then." Jin helplessly said.

Taemin also started drinking. But seeing how crazy Jimin was drinking, he tried to stop him. "Don't drink too much, Y/N will scold you."

"I also want her to scold me, to talk to me..." Jimin laughed at himself. "But now she doesn't even want to look at me like I'm kind of disgusting creature or something."

Taemin was confused and gazed at Jin, looking for an answer. Jin shook his head and sighed: "Y/N want to divorce him."

"What happened?" He asked. "Is it because of the baby?"

Jimin nodded and pursed his lips while looking at the bottle on his hand. "She found it exhausting to be with me." Jimin took another gulp. "She doesn't care about me anymore, she doesn't want to talk to me. But I don't have the courage to ask her."

Taemin smiled. "It's not like you."

In his perspective, Jimin wouldn't be afraid of anything. Since he was a kid, he always had a strong personality. He would only do what he wanted, he was never afraid of anything. He would just do whatever he pleased. But now, he unexpectedly was afraid?

"Y/N is his weak spot." Jin chuckled.

Jimin leaned back on the sofa and spread his arms. "I am just scared, Hyung." He let his head fall on the sofa. "I am scared that she will really leave me this time."

"You can't blame her, your daughter just passed away. She is still grieving. Moreover, it was Neon Yun and Kim Seulgi doing. It was still related to you somehow. It's understandable for her to act that way. She must be thinking that she only has Joonie now, of course she wants to protect him." Taemin said.

Jimin was getting dizzy, so he massaged his temple. "I know, then what should I do?" This was like a dead end for him and he didn't know what to do to solve this.

Taemin was also helpless, he wasn't really able to give suggestions. Before Krystal, he was single for quite a long time. He wasn't that experienced in relationships. Jin was also the same as he only had one woman in all of his life. He and his wife had been together since they were younger, they were childhood sweethearts.

Jin was somewhat similar to Jimin. He looked calm and collected on the outside, he was just this handsome and mysterious man but he was different in front of his wife. Jimin was also that kind of man in front of Y/N, a whiny cheeky man.

Jin was thinking about it for a while then he glanced at Jimin. "I think you should be shameless, don't think about your integrity and pride now. You should just wrap her around your finger."

Jimin stared at him and considered it then he nodded in approval. "You're thinking what I'm thinking."

"You two..." Taemin shook his head helplessly. "Is it practicable?"

"How can it not be?" Jimin stared at Taemin. "If I didn't teach you my trick when you were fighting with Krystal, maybe now you would be still fighting. How could you be a father?"

For this, Taemin also thought that he should be thankful to Jimin's idea. So at this moment, he had nothing to say to object.

"We are not as experienced as you. I thought you were in a good mood today that you invited us to hang out but it turned out you asked us out to scheme something." Jin said.

Jimin rolled his eyes and opened a can of beer and drank it. Then he laid down on the sofa and pointed at himself. "What do you think? Do I look drunk and pitiful?"

Jin examined him seriously then nodded. "Although I know you're not drunk but you can pretend."

Jimin took out his phone and passed it to him. "Here, call Y/N. Tell her that I am drunk and lose my consciousness. Ask her to come to pick me up."

But Jin didn't take his phone. "You already used this trick once, do you really want to use it again? I can guarantee you, it won't work."

"Nonsense, hurry up!" Jimin glared at him. Then he took his phone and went outside to make a call. Jimin gazed at Taemin and said: "Hyung, don't expose me okay. You can't tell Krystal either."

"Don't worry." He patted his shoulder then wore his coat. "Krystal craves some snacks. I'll go now. If you have some problems, you can call me."

Jimin looked at his leaving and grumbled. "I also want to have a late night snack with Y/N." He frowned.

After Taemin left, Jin returned. Jimin impatiently asked: "How is it? What did she say?"

"She didn't say anything, she only said that she knew it." He threw his phone to the sofa.

Hearing Jin's words made him want to trample his feet but luckily Jin was quick to dodge. "Park Jimin, I am not your employee. I just helped you and you dare to kick me? If you try it one more time, I will call Y/N and tell her that you forced me to lie to her."

Jin slowly took out his phone, noticing that Jimin hurriedly moved his body forward to snatched his phone. "You wouldn't dare to say anything."

"You want to see?" Jin smirked.

Jimin glared at him. "What did you say to her?"

"I told her that you are drunk and asked her to come here to pick you up because I have urgent matters, my wife looked for me." Jin said. "Are you satisfied?"

"Did you say that I lost my consciousness on the couch and couldn't move?"

Jin sighed. "Yes."

"Then she will come, right? She cares about me." Jimin asked, trying to convince nobody but himself.

Hearing this, Jin responded: "What if she not?"

"She will." He immediately said, "She will come, she won't let me lay here unconscious."

"But you already used this trick. She didn't know about your alcohol tolerance level back then, but she did now. Will she believe that you're drunk and unconscious?"

"Well it depends on you. If she doesn't buy it then it's your fault. How could you call yourself a doctor if you can't even lie?" Jimin tried to put the blame on him.

Jin couldn't accept the blame on him. "Jimin, what does that have to do with being a doctor?"

Jimin put his feet on the table and stared at him. "Aren't doctors always able to convince people?" He said. "'Your condition is serious, I advise you to immediately proceed with the surgery.' or 'You need to make a quick decision, we can't wait any longer. The patient is in a critical condition.'"

"..." Jin unexpectedly couldn't say anything else. Jimin was indeed good at making people lose for words.

There was a knock outside the door, Jimin and Jin were staring at each other and said: "It's Y/N!"

He hurriedly laid down the sofa then waved at Jin ordering him to hide inside the restroom so it would be more pitiful that he was laying on the sofa alone.

At this moment Jin thought that Jimin really was a stupid man. When he went to the restroom, he couldn't help but thinking if he also looked this stupid in front of his wife.

The door was knocked a few times but nobody opened it. Finally it was opened.

Jimin laid down on the sofa hoping that Y/N would come over and patted his cheek while calling his name.

But in a second, his beautiful dream was shattered when he heard: "President Park."

Jimin immediately sat up and glared at Taehyung. He hurriedly went outside and looked around. Taehyung was confused. "What are you looking for?"

After hearing Taehyung's voice, Jin obviously could hear it too. He came out of the restroom and laughed out loud, clapping his hands. "This is a topnotch comedy. Don't mind him, he is looking for Y/N."

"She asked me to come here to pick him up." He rubbed his chin, he finally understood.

Jimin was really a sly man.

He used this method to make Y/N come to him but she was giving him a silent treatment and he couldn't take it anymore. He didn't expect that she would ask Taehyung to pick him up.

Taehyung came with a woman, supposedly he was on a date when Y/N called. He thought that Jimin really needed help. He didn't even get to send his girl home, and rushed here.

Jimin stared at Taehyung. "Why are you here?"

He folded his hands and said: "Your wife called me to help you and send you home."

Taehyung was the real victim of this scheme. It was rare for him to enjoy his free time to take his lady out as he didn't have to work overtime.

Jin patted his shoulder: "Ignore him, Y/N is giving him a silent treatment. He went batshit crazy about it, he lost his mind. He's stupid and all we can do is to ignore and forgive."

Before he could finish, Jimin smashed the cushion to his face.

After looking at how conscious Jimin was, Taehyung thought it was no use for him to stay. Moreover, he still wanted to continue his date. "Alright, we will go now then."

"Wait." Jimin said.

Taehyung stopped his steps and turned his body, he was confused. Jimin stood up from the sofa and walked toward them. They were also looking at him, he was smirking. Taehyung knew his smirk meant nothing but bad news.

Jimin seemed to be staring at the woman beside him. What would he do? With his instinct, Taehyung hides her behind him.

Jin also didn't understand it, he just saw that Jimin pushed Taehyung away and stood in front of the girl and said: "Taehyung, let me borrow your girlfriend just a bit." He was smirking maliciously.
