"Nothing. Jungkook is back and he just apologized that he had no idea of what happened to me because he was in a big problem." Y/N explained.

"What problem?"

She tidied up her things and put them inside her bag and gazed at Jimin. "It's their own family matters. Some of them are striving for power and position. He said that he almost lost his life..."

Jimin hugged Y/N's shoulder and went out of the changing room. "Jeon Jungkook has a brother, right?"

Y/N was surprised. "How did you know?"

This could be counted as the Jeon family's scandal. Jungkook indeed had a half-brother from his father. He had an affair but he hid it, he quietly placed his bastard kid inside the company. His parents weren't on good terms for years, they just pretended to be a loving couple in public. They weren't divorced and stayed married to keep their reputation.

In fact, they both already had someone else and made an agreement to not intervene in each other's private life. Before they lived separately, they already promised not to have another child to protect Jungkook's position. But his father had another child, he was just a few years younger than him.

Jungkook found out about this a few years ago. His mother was a very powerful and competent woman. The Jeon company was in their position now because of her so she had a huge influence in the company. That was the reason his father didn't dare to mess with her.

Of course, in his mother's perspective, the company should be handed down to Jungkook. But his father wanted his other son to also get a position in the company. He loved his other son more as he also loved his mother more. Even though everyone knew that Jungkook should be the sole successor, a lot of people wanted to bring him down.

After they went out, Jimin bent his waist and carried Joon Min. He put him on the backseat and Y/N went to the passenger seat. She was thinking about their discussion about the Jeon family.

Jimin got in the car and Y/N turned her head to look at him. "Jimin, do you have another brother?" She joked.

Jimin placed his hand on the steering wheel, then turned his head to her. He raised his eyebrows. "If I had one and lost my position to him, would you still stay by my side?"

Y/N smirked and shook her head. "Don't you always think that I trapped you into a marriage for your money, power, and status? Do you think I would stay with you if you don't have anything?"

Jimin sighed in sadness. "Didn't I apologize and admit my mistake already?"

Y/N laughed and patted his hand, she didn't want to annoy him anymore. "Let's go."

It was a sunny day, being inside the zoo would be burning hot. Y/N asked Jimin to stop the car beside the shop. She wanted to buy a hat and an umbrella for Joon Min. She also bought several bottles of water.

Joon Min was excited, he wanted to walk by himself but Jimin was carrying him. "Daddy, I want to walk by myself."

"No, it's too crowded here. You can walk by yourself when it's less crowded." Jimin said.

They went to the other side of the zoo and it was not really crowded. Joon Min was impatient to get down from his embrace. "Daddy, I want to go down."

Y/N understood that Jimin was being considerate of Joon Min's well being so he wanted to carry him, protecting him. But it was not really crowded now, so she pulled Jimin's arm. "Let him go. It's okay, we can hold his hands."

Jimin nodded and placed him down. They both held his hands and walked around. "What do you want to see, Joonie?"

"Mom, I want to see elephants."

"Let's go." Y/N looked at Jimin. They started walking to see the elephant.

Jimin was afraid that Joon Min couldn't see them, so he carried him up and put him on his shoulder so he could see it.

"Dad, look at that little elephant. He always follows his mother, he is so obedient." Joon Min pointed at the little baby elephant.

He was always excited when he looked at the animals. After he was done seeing the elephant, he also went to see monkeys, orangutans, tigers, giraffes, hippopotamus. Every time he went to the zoo, he would walk excitedly. He couldn't stop. As a result, he fell asleep on Y/N's embrace on their way home.

Jimin carried him to his room and placed him on the bed. His phone suddenly rang, it was Taehyung. He went outside to answer. "I will go out for a bit." He said to Y/N.

She nodded. "Be careful."

Jimin smiled and came over to her. He clutched her face and kissed her lips. "Okay."
Y/N sighed. She felt this man really knows how to take advantage of her.

Jimin went downstairs and noticed Taemin and Krystal were here today. Today was the weekend, supposedly they came to have dinner. He greeted them. "Grandma, I have urgent matters to do. I won't be back for dinner."

Grandma nodded. "Okay."

When he was about to open the door, someone called him. "Jimin..."He turned his head and noticed it was Taemin.

"What's up, Hyung?"

Taemin just smiled. "Jimin, if you have some problems, you can always ask me for help. Don't hesitate to ask me." He said simply.

He didn't say a lot of things, but this sentence was enough to express his sincerity toward Jimin.

Jimin patted his shoulder. "Thank you, Hyung. I can handle my own problems. Don't worry about me, you just need to take good care of Krystal. If I need anything, I will definitely talk to you."

"I'm just afraid that you will never ask." Taemin smiled.

Jimin chuckled. "With you, I wouldn't be that courteous." He patted his shoulder and left.

Y/N heard noises from downstairs, so she went to check it. She saw Krystal was eating fruits with Grandma. When they noticed her, they both smiled. "Y/N, come here."

Y/N came over and used her hand to stroke Krystal's belly. "How have you been recently?"

Probably because it was her firstborn, so Krystal experienced extreme morning sickness. Now she was in her trimester, she didn't feel any better. "I still threw up a lot." She said helplessly.

Grandma shook her head. "I already asked you and Taemin to move here, it's good to have a lot of people to take care of you. But you two declined." She paused. "Does he take good care of you?" She stared at Taemin who was walking to the dining room.

Krystal casted a glance at him. "He really does. He frequently cooks for me."

Taemin sat beside her and used his hands to clasp her face. "Grandma, did you notice that Krystal's face is getting chubby? She throws up a lot, but she also eats a lot."

Krystal glared at him. "Because I throw up a lot, that's why I need to eat a lot more. If I didn't eat more then what about the baby?"

Grandma was laughing so loud because of them. Her face was glowing and full of smiles. "Our Taemin-ie is really good at taking care of people. He has good cooking skills, unlike our Jimin-ie, everytime he said he wanted to make me some dumplings and went to the kitchen, he would set the kitchen on fire. Luckily Y/N has good cooking skills."

"Grandma, I can't cook either." Krystal blushed, she was also someone who would turn the kitchen into a disaster.

But Grandma smiled. "It's good, that's why you two are compatible." She shifted her gaze to her belly. "This is your first child, you should give birth to more children in the future, okay?"

Krystal smiled and gazed at Taemin. "How many children do you want?"

Taemin also smiled and stared at her. "The more the better." He stroked her cheek. "But it's your body, it's you who can decide."

Taehyung's car was already in front of the Park residence. Jimin got in the car. "What did you find?"

"The boy called this number." He passed him the piece of paper.

Jimin took the paper and looked at it. "Whose number is it? Have you checked it?"

"I already asked someone to check it but there's no further information yet." Taehyung explained.

"Was he going anywhere today? Or was he staying home for the whole day?" Jimin asked.

"He went out for a while, but he just went to buy something to eat then went home. He stayed home and he called this number. The call was not answered."

Jimin nodded and stared at the number. It was not a local phone number.

Taehyung's phone rang, he answered it. "This number is also unreachable, Sir."

Jimin furrowed his eyebrows. "Interesting."

"What should we do next?" Taehyung asked.

Jimin massaged his temple. "Call Seulgi to make a scene at the restaurant, make it big so it appeared on the news."

"Ms Kim is trying to hide from the media, I am afraid she wouldn't want to cooperate." Taehyung was somewhat skeptical about it.

"Just tell her to do it, this has to be done. The sooner this matter was resolved, the sooner she can leave this city." He instructed. "I will also have people to be there with her, she has nothing to worry about."

"As you wish, President Park." He said.

With her condition and her destroyed reputation, she had nothing to lose for making a little scene.

Once again, Seulgi appeared on the news. This time because she had a fight with a waiter in the restaurant. People thought she already left the city, but she appeared in her miserable yet hilarious state. People didn't expect a once big celebrity would be in this situation now.

A lot of people photographed and recorded her trouble-making act in the restaurant. Once again, she had become the trending topic. Most people thought that she was depressed and mentally unstable because of what had happened to her.

Someone posted that Seulgi thought the waiter stole her wallet but the man didn't want to confess. So they were taken to the police station. But the evidence proved that the boy didn't steal her wallet. It was found in her bag.
At night, after Seulgi finished her bath. She logged into her SNS, she read the articles. She laughed at herself and dialed Jimin. "I have done everyone according to your order. Are you satisfied?"

She knew she had no other choice. She promised that she would take revenge for her current humiliation!

"What do you want me to do after this?" She massaged her temple, her voice was really low.
"Wait until someone contacts you." Jimin hung up, he seemed to be unwilling to talk with her any longer.

Seulgi threw her phone to the sofa. Who would contact her?

Seoul already turned into her nightmare, she just wanted to leave so she needed to compromise. She recalled her memories with Jimin, when she was popular. She now could conclude that her life was really a tragedy.
Why did this happen? How did she ended up like this? She didn't want to accept this but she didn't know what she should do to climb up again. When she was staring at the ceiling, her phone rang.

Seulgi thought it was Jimin but she noticed that it was an unknown number. She was on alert, she sat up then answer. "Who is it?"

"Ms Kim, you made a scene today. Are you trying to get my attention?"

Jimin was right, that person really contacted her.

She was getting emotional but she tried to calm herself down. "Finally you call me. So now you're done, you're just throwing me away? Everything that happened to me was because of you!"

"Aren't you funny, Ms Kim? It's not my fault, it was your beloved Jimin. If he didn't give up, you think you would be like this?" He laughed.

Seulgi clutched her phone tightly. "You used me then you disappeared. I couldn't find you so I looked for the waiter. I wanted to ask him about the package but he refused. I had no other choices, but don't you think it's working. You finally contacted me."

But he just laughed, she found his laughter terrifying. "Then, what is your reason to look for me?"

"Do you think it would be that easy to throw me away?" Seulgi asked.

He chuckled. "What do you want?"

"I can help you with something, but I want some benefits." Seulgi offered.

"You still want your fame in the entertainment industry? You want me to pave another way for you? But Ms Kim, have you forgotten? Your reputation is ruined. No one would want to work with you, how could I help you?"

"I know I can't be in the entertainment circle again, so I want another benefit."

He laughed. "You're so full of yourself. How could you even help me? You couldn't even get close to Park Jimin. You even failed your previous task, I really doubt your ability."

"I was with him for five years. Do you still think that I can't do anything? I definitely could provide you with some secrets. Are you sure you will just throw me away?" She asked.
