In Y/N's perspective, even with Kim Yugyeom's appearance, it couldn't really confirm Jungkook's involvement. It could be his own doing and tried to put the blame on Jungkook. There was a big fight within the Jeon family because of the illegitimate child, perhaps Kim Yugyeom was helping that bastard kid. But the probability was too small, Kim Yugyeom had been on Jungkook's side for a long time. They were also best friends.

Moreover, the Jeon family didn't have any kind of resentment or any grudges on the Park family. Why should he attack the Park family?

Or perhaps they wanted to put the blame on Jungkook, so the Park family would attack him and he wouldn't have time to deal with the Jeon family matters.

There were too many possibilities.

Jimin could admit that in the relationship, he was a narrow-minded and inconsiderate man. He didn't believe that man and woman could be just friends, especially when he knew Jungkook loved Y/N deeply and he also knew there was a special place for Jungkook inside Y/N's heart.

Even now, Y/N still chose to believe in Jeon Jungkook. Jimin couldn't describe the feelings inside. He knew that Y/N regarded Jungkook as a brother but he was still not happy about it.

"Kim Yugyeom is here and you're not a bit suspicious about it?" Jimin asked in disbelief.

Y/N slowly raised her head and gazed at him. "This does not prove Jungkook's involvement."

As she spoke, Jimin stared and looked directly in her eyes. His gaze almost seemed troubled, though his expression remained stoic, giving off no hint about what he thought. "Yes." He said coldly. "But it doesn't prove he is not involved either. He is now the main suspect, and you don't have even a hint of doubt about Jeon Jungkook?"

"Jimin, I don't know." Y/N cried and covered her eyes. "I really don't know."

She put her hands on his waist and buried her face on his chest. "I don't know what to believe anymore. How could my Pa and my sister do this to me? Even my Ma, she took his side and begged me to forgive them. How could my own family do this to me? And now, Jungkook? I lost my daughter, how could they all betray me like this? What did I do to deserve this?" Y/N started to cry again.

At this moment she just realized that she was really a woman with bad luck.

Upon hearing her cries, Jimin felt that his heart was being stabbed with a thousand knives. This life was agony for them both.

He couldn't help but to think that he failed her, again and again. He felt he was really a useless husband who was not able to protect her and also their baby daughter.

Jimin gave her a gentle kiss on the top of her head and wiped her tears. "No matter who it was, I will make them pay." He said as he also swore to himself.

"I will investigate Jungkook's involvement further. What you said was right, this can't prove anything. I will have people follow Kim Yugyeom." Jimin said.

"Don't be sad, okay? My heart hurts seeing you cry." He whispered and kissed each of her cheeks where the tears had wet her eyes.

Before she could say anything, her phone rang. She pulled it out and saw the ID. It was Shin Ji, at this moment, her voice was the last thing she wanted to hear. She must be calling for Jun Seo.

Y/N wanted to just ignore it but Jimin grabbed the phone and turned it off. "She really has no shame."

Jimin clutched her face and. "Don't cry anymore, Joonie would be sad seeing you like this."

Y/N nodded as Jimin held her hands. "Let's go take a walk, we'll be back for dinner."

"Where are we going?" Y/N's voice was hoarse from all the crying.

"Let's go to the beach." Jimin smiled. "Joonie said you really like shells."

"When I was little." Y/N said. "Every time I was in a bad mood, I would go to the beach to pick up some shells. I would make handicrafts with that."

"Then let's pick some seashells." Jimin held her hand and entered the elevator.

Y/N gazed at him. "Jimin..." She knew he wanted to make her happy but she also knew that he was busy. She didn't want him to waste his time when he was needed to do other things. He was so busy handling their daughter's matters that he put his work aside. She understood, since she was married to a man with a great responsibility, she couldn't possibly waste his time like this.

Don't assume that just because Jimin is in a high position, he can do whatever he wants. There are plenty of people behind, waiting to challege him. After all, who doesn't want ultimate power? Since she married to him, she can't hold him back.

"Let's go." Jimin knew what she was thinking about. But her happiness was his number one priority now.

Jimin started driving to the beach. It was the same beach that she frequently visited during her childhood. Even though it wasn't as beautiful as it was, there were still a lot of shells on the shore. They didn't pick any seashells, they just walked around. The waves roared with the stiff breeze, enhancing the smell of saltiness in the air.

As the sky got dark, they drove back home.

At the time the car stopped, the maid came over. "Mrs Park, your mother, Madame Song is here and she's looking for you. She's been here for a long time but your phone was off."

Y/N sneered. "She couldn't reach us by phone. Now she dares to come here."

Jimin's face also turned cold. They went inside and saw Grandma was sitting down on the sofa with Shin Ji. She was an introvert, her social skills weren't the best. So it was Grandma who kept the conversations going.

When she noticed they were finally home, she immediately stood up and stared at Y/N. She smiled. "Y/N, you're home."

Y/N went inside and greeted grandma but she glared at Shin Ji. "I didn't expect you'll come here for him."

Grandma didn't know about the matter. "Your mother has been waiting for you since the afternoon. Why did you two turn off your phone? She was worried but she didn't want to tell me why."

"Y/N..." Shin Ji pulled Y/N's hand and looked at her. "Let's go somewhere to talk, okay? Ma has something to say to you."

Y/N stared at her tight grip on her wrist then looked at her face. Her gaze was cold. "There is nothing left to talk about. I know you are here to beg for him, but I already said that I will make him pay for what he did. He should take responsibility for his actions. How could he still try to use you, what kind of man and father he is?" She spat.

"Ma, I always want to ask you, what do you see in him? How could you be so devoted to him that you would do anything for him? Is he worthy of your love? Have you ever thought about this?"

Shin Ji's face dropped. "Y/N, you don't understand. You..."

Y/N chuckled. "What is it that I don't understand? I am twenty six years old and I know what love is. I love Jimin as he is worthy of my love. But if he is not, I will cut my relationship with him immediately. But all these years, you're still obstinately persistent in going about things the wrong way. You are too caught in a snare of love. He keeps disappointing you, but you always forgive him. Every time he makes excuses, you choose to believe him, every single time." She paused.

"When you were dating him, he abandoned you and chose to marry Han Mi's mother since she had a better family background. Even after you married into the Song family, he never committed to you. He still has other women outside, how could you be this naive? You keep making excuses for him, you said that you're getting old so it was natural for him to look for a younger woman, he even appears in public with other women but you accepted it!" She started losing her temper.

"I swore to myself to never let myself walk the same path as you!"

Shin Ji felt her heart was smashed. She knew that Jun Seo didn't love her and always used her. But she couldn't do anything. She loved him, she couldn't bear to see him in a difficult situation

She covered her face and cried. "Y/N, I know that he made many mistakes. But how could you do this to your own father? He was the one who raised you, now you are also living a good life. Jimin loves you, you have Joonie, you have Madame Park. Everyone is good to you, it was also because of your father."

"For that, I supposed I must thank him." Y/N didn't say anything, it was Jimin. "If it wasn't for him, perhaps Y/N wouldn't be my wife. But you need to understand that he was not doing it for Y/N's sake. It was for his own benefit."

Shin Ji raised her head. "Jimin, Y/N. But still, it was because of him that you two could be together right? Can you give him another chance? I believe he didn't do it on purpose, he's not that ruthless. How could he have tried to hurt Joonie and killed your daughter? He was definitely being threatened."

"Now I understand." Grandma finally said. She was sitting down on the sofa, listening to their conversation. She sneered coldly. "So Madame Song is here to beg, I supposed that my great-granddaughter's death is related to Mr Song? And now you're here to beg for forgiveness? It's no use, if Song Jun Seo is really a man, how could he let you beg?"

Shin Ji waved her hands. "No, it wasn't him who asked me to come."

"So it was your own intention?" Grandma glared at her with her piercing eyes. "Let me tell you, Song Shin Ji. You're not deserve to call yourself Y/N's mother! Her daughter was murdered but you asked her to forgive the murderer. What kind of mother are you? You should consider Y/N's feelings. Have you ever thought of your granddaughter? Do you understand that Jun Seo's actions also almost harmed Joonie's life? Now you're here to beg for him?" She laughed mockingly. "You don't have the right to beg! I will tell you one more time, don't even think about it ! I am going to take care of this matter personally and I will make him pay!"

Shin Ji was shocked when she heard it. Her legs were shaking, she fell to the floor. Madame Park clearly wouldn't say it if she didn't mean it. Jun Seo would definitely be in trouble!

But she understood that at this crucial moment, Y/N was the one in charge of everything. If she let Jun Seo go, Jimin and Madame Park would also let him go. After all, Jun Seo was still her father. So she turned her face to see Y/N. "Y/N..."

Y/N didn't look at her. "Ma, just go." But when Y/N turned her body to leave, Shin Ji knelt down in front of Y/N.

"Y/N, I beg you. Please forgive your father." Shin Ji cried loudly. Y/N went to pull her up but she didn't want to stand up. "Y/N, please. take pity on your father."

"If I take pity on him, who would take pity on my daughter?" Y/N sneered. "When he did those things, did he ever take pity on my daughter?" Y/N realized that she didn't want to stand up so she let her be. It was really tragic. "If you want to keep kneeling then do as you wish. But Jun Seo still has to take responsibility for what he did!"

Shin Ji raised her head and pointed at Y/N. "Y/N, you are too cruel!"

"I am cruel?" Y/N blinked her eyes and laughed. "Then just see me as cruel. Since you know that I'm cruel, you know that I will make him pay. No matter how long you're kneeling in front of me, it won't change anything so you can just leave!"

Even Grandma was shocked, she never saw this kind of scene between mother and daughter. "Send Madame Song home." She instructed the butler to ask the driver to take her home.

"Right away, Madame Park." Butler Wang immediately brought two people in front of Shin Ji. "Madame Song, let's go."

"I will not go until Y/N agree with me!" She kept pleading. "Y/N, please..."

But Grandma's patience was getting thinner. She used her stick to knock the ground angrily. "What are you doing? Bring her home!"

Butler Wang commanded the two maids to pull her up and dragged her out. But Shin Ji still refused to go, so she ran inside again. She took the fruit knife from the table and placed it on her wrist. Everyone in the room was startled.

"Y/N, if you don't agree with me then I will just die in front of you. Try me if you don't believe me." Shin Ji threatened.

Y/N couldn't believe this happened again, this scene in front of her was too familiar. She gazed at Shin Ji. "Five years ago, you used this to threaten me when I refused to marry Jimin. Now five years later, you're doing the same threat. Are you really going to do this all over again?" She asked her in disbelief. "Since you never cared about me then why did you give birth to me? Why didn't you abort me? Do you really see me as a toy that you could just use?"

Shin Ji's heart was breaking, she grumbled. "Y/N, I..." The knife fell from her grip.

"You are not my mother." Y/N's eyes were red as she held her tears and left the living room. She didn't care what she would do. She wouldn't care anymore. She was too fed up with the act of making her a pion for all her life.

She stretched her hand in Y/N's direction. "Y/N..." Looking at her go, she wanted to chase after her but she was stopped.

Grandma stood up. "Madame Song, as for your family matters, I shouldn't intervene. But Y/N is my grandson's wife and she is also a member of the Park family. I also really care about her and I don't want her to get hurt." She paused. "But Madame Song, ask yourself and think about how you've been treating Y/N. As her mother, how could you always place her behind your husband? Have you ever considered her feelings? How could you use your own life to threaten her? Have you ever been ashamed?" Grandma tried to talk some sense into her.

"Y/N is right. You don't deserve to be her mother." She gestured to the maids to kick the knife and held her hands. "Madame Song, it is your own choice to do anything as you please. But now please just go. We will not welcome you here anymore."

The maids and butler Wang finally took her away. Grand sighed. "This woman is really selfish. I can't believe she prioritized her love over her daughter. I think she gave birth to Y/N just for Song Jun Seo."

Jimin pursed his lips and stared at Grandma. "Grandma, I will go upstairs to check on Y/N."

Grandma nodded. "Go, go."

He immediately went upstairs and opened their room. He saw Y/N was on the sofa, staring at the window. Jimin knew she was crying. He slipped his hands around her cheeks, gently stroking them with his fingers and bringing her within an inch of his chest. He then bent his waist and clutched her face, he kissed her.

His sudden action made Y/N startled. It was hard for her to breathe. "J-Jimin." She lightly hit his chest, wanting to push him away but he clutched her hands and put it on his neck. He didn't want to let her go.

With him kissing her, how could she continue to cry?

Jimin finally let her go, leaving her with swollen lips. "Are you still crying?"

Y/N glared at him. "It's only you that could think of this way to stop people from crying."

Jimin smiled. "Isn't it effective? You will cry harder when I hug you but when I kiss you, you immediately forget how to cry."

Y/N actually felt better after hearing those words. She found it ridiculous, but she couldn't deny, only Jimin could do this.

"Your eyes were getting better when we were at the beach, but now it's swollen again. How will it be tomorrow?" Jimin went to the door and asked the maid to bring ice packs. He returned to the sofa and made her lay down on his thigh and compressed her eyes with the ice pack.

It was freezing and soothed her swollen eyes. She wanted to do it by herself but Jimin didn't let her. "Let me."

"Is it better now?" Jimin asked.

She opened her eyes and smiled. "It is. Thank you."

Jimin put the ice pack down and smirked. "Don't thank me with words, I am more fond of action."

-

A/N: As the story goes, you probably can tell that Jimin's weakness is women's tears and as he is madly in love with Y/N, her tears is his biggest weakness. The thing Jimin loathes the most is when someone try to control or decieve him.

About Y/N, ever since she was a kid, she swore to herself to never be like Shin Ji by staying with a man who is not worthy of her love. That's why when Jimin is lacking, even a slightest, she immediately thinks of leaving him. It's the trauma and her own mental health problem. Even though she loves Jimin, but she doesn't trust men's promises. She also has detachment issues, she is cold and sometimes can be seen as unaffectionate.
