You were feeling weak but still you decided to go for grocery shopping, it was weekend after all and you wanted to buy some veggies, some meat for a whole week.

You dragged your feet towards the first section as you walked along with the cart. For instances, a thought of coming along with Jimin for grocery shopping aroused in your mind but then you shook your head, Jimin isn't the type of guy who would walk around with you for buying groceries.

"Duh.." you grabbed some packets of ramyun which were your only saviour when you are hungry or when you are too much bored to cook something. When you were about to push the cart, you felt your chest getting heavy, you stumbled when your eye sight got blurry.

"Hey, are you okay?" you saw a lady approaching you, she was about to help you but it was too late, your knees were already meeting the floor and you became unconscious on the spot.

+

You fluttered your eyes, slowly adjusting to the light. The room was spacious, it was a huge one just like Jimin's.

You got up slowly, the bed was soft, the sheet which was covering your body was made of silk.

"Oh, you are awake?" a lady entered the room. She was pretty, dressed up well like a decent lady would. She approached you, giving a glass of water to you.

You smiled, grabbing the glass and gulping the water. You were feeling better.

"What happened? Were you ill?" she sat next to you.

"I was feeling weak since yesterday. This was all of a sudden. Thank you for helping me out." you said.

"Mention not."

You threw your legs to a side with an intention of getting up but then she stopped you. "Where are you going?"

"I..I am leaving..I need to-"

"No way. You will be eating lunch with us. I am not letting you go without eating."

"No, that is too much.. I-"

"Please. It is already late. Eat with us. I won't be allowing you to leave. Also-"

The door burst open and a small girl entered. "Eomma, Hobi uncle is screaming for no reason. He isn't letting me watch the horror movie. He even switched off the TV." she cried out as she ran towards her.

"Yoonji-ah, watch the movie after your uncle leaves. You know he is afraid of horror movies."

"Okay.. so can I play with the baby?" she puckered her lips.

"Okay, just check whether he is awake or not. But don't touch him." she warned and the little girl gave her flying kisses while running outside the room.

You chuckled. It was indeed a cute family.

"That was my notorious daughter. Her name is Yoonji, she is same like her appa. Actually my brother was staying with me today and we were out for grocery shopping just then we saw you collapsing. Thanks to Hoseok oppa. He carried you or else it would have been difficult for me."

"I troubled you alot isn't it? I am sorry." you bowed.

"Aniyo, don't worry."

"Do you have a baby too?" you asked as she got up from the bed.

"Yes. He is almost one and a half months old." she replied. "Come with me. Let's eat."

You nodded as you got up from the bed and followed her.

Her family was happy family. Now you knew what you want in your life. You smiled. What if someday you married Jimin? You both will be making beautiful and chubby babies, you thought.

You shook your head, you should keep your mind in control.

When you walked downstairs, you saw a man sitting on the couch and you assumed that he must be her brother, Hoseok about whom the lady was talking earlier.

He got up smiling as he saw you.

"Thank you for helping me." you bowed.

"Oh..no problem. Are you okay now?" he asked worried and you nodded.

He turned his head towards the lady, "Yah..make sure she eats well." he warned her.

"Of course Hoseok oppa. She will be eating lunch with us.."

"Oh well..that's good. Aish...you should take care of yourself. Girls now a days are too obsessed about their bodies and that's the reason they starve themselves." Hoseok complained as he walked towards the dinning table.

"Oppa, you sound like harabeoji." she guffawed.

You smiled, the relationship​ between her brother and her was just perfect. You wished you had a brother.

"Come on." she signaled you to come and sit with them and then she went towards the dinning table, she was serving you and her brother. Your stomach churned due to the aroma, she must be a great cook you thought. You were living away from your mom, you were practically missing home made food but then today, you knew that your stomach and even your heart will be completely​ filled.

When you were about to start, you heard beeping sound as if some sort of buttons were pressed.

"He is back with ice-cream." Hoseok grinned as he pressed the word 'ice-cream'. You were confused. Who was back exactly?

You averted your eyes towards the door and finally it opened and what you saw made your eyes to pop out in disbelief. You have seen him.. you have seen him in the hospital along with Jimin... he is.. he is Jimin's friend, Jungkook..!!

"Jungkook, you are late." she muttered without even looking at him. He was handsome. You saw he was wearing a white shirt, ripped jeans. He removed his timberlands as he walked towards the dinning table, smiling cheekily.

"Sorry love. I apologize " he declared as he leaned towards her and kissed her cheek in your presences. You saw Hoseok was least interested as if this was their daily scene. He was busy munching food. You gulped, Jungkook was handsome and on the top of that- dangerously romantic.

Wait.. he is Jungkook so she must be..

You turned your head towards the lady who was shyly smiling, averting her eyes away from you.

She is Eun Ae..!! Jimin's true love.

You felt a pang in your heart. You were actually sitting along with her.

"Behave, we have guest." Eun Ae pushed Jungkook, pointing her chin towards you. Jungkook cleared his throat as he smiled at you.

"Hi"

You greeted him.

You remember those words, you remember what your friend Hyori has said about Jungkook.

He doesn't​ seems as if he was once a playboy.

Jungkook sat next to Eun Ae after keeping the ice-cream in the refrigerator​. Eun Ae and Hoseok told Jungkook about their encounter with you and like a kind person, Jungkook did asked you about your health. Your cheeks were heating but the way Jungkook spoke with you made you realise that he is humble and kind person just like his wife.

The whole time during lunch, your eyes were on her. She was beautiful, elegant lady. Her eyes were always on Jungkook, she was very particular about his food and eating habits. She even scolded him for talking during lunch.

"Are you full?" Eun Ae asked you.

"Yeah... I had enough. Thank you for the food." you smiled.

"Oh mention not. You are part of Jeon family now. You can come anytime." Eun Ae replied.

"She is right. Make sure you come to see us." Jungkook repeated after her.

You got up from the chair. "I think, I will leave now. I have troubled you enough." you bowed slightly. You wanted to leave as soon as possible. They should not know about you, about Jimin and you.

"Wait a second. Actually I had kept your purse in the room." Eun Ae got up from her chair. You completely forgot about your purse which you were carrying for shopping.

You nodded and she went upstairs. Jungkook and Hoseok on the other hand were cleaning the dinning table as soon as she left.

You stood near the couch area, casually looking at some paintings because you had nothing to do also, you were practically feeling awkward.

The bell rang and you saw Jungkook running towards the door while you spotted Eun Ae climbing down the stairs with your purse. You weren't interested in their visitors because its of no use. You turned your head away from the door as you continued admiring the paintings.

Whilst Jungkook opened the door and the person entered.

"Take this." she touched your shoulder and you looked at her, she was smiling. You took your purse from her. "Sorry, I was checking the baby too." she apologized for taking too much time.

"Eun Ae." a deep voice echoed in the hall.

"Yes?"
"Yes?"

You both looked at each other. Eun Ae was confused as why on the earth you reacted to that call which she thought was meant for her while your eyes grew wide when you saw the person standing along with Jungkook. It was Kim Taehyung.

Why so many shocks in one day?

"Eun Ae?" you looked at her. "Is your name.. Eun Ae..too?"

Taehyung guffawed as he made his way towards you both and Jungkook followed him. "Eun Ae, I wasn't expecting you here." Taehyung stood infront of you. He was surprised too. He wasn't sure how did you even entered their house.

"Oppa, she fell unconscious so Hoseok oppa and I brought her with us." Eun Ae said.

Taehyung chuckled. "Well well..she is part of our family too." he said.

"Hyung, what family?" Jungkook walked towards him. Everyone was curious excluding you.

You scrunched your eyebrows. You slightly nodded your head, signaling Taehyung not to spat anything about you and Jimin but Taehyung being a overly-hyped person, he ignored you. "She is the one Jimin is dating now a days." Taehyung spilled the beans.

"What?" the couple's mouth shoot open as they looked at you.

"Jimin hyung is dating you?" he asked you.

"Of course." Taehyung walked towards you, wrapping his arm around your shoulders. Your stomach did backflips, he smelled heavenly.

You didn't spoke anything and they chuckled on your reaction.

"Ommo, you should have told me earlier." Eun Ae held your hand, "Jimin oppa will be angry on us if he knows about this. Now just stay with us. I would love if you spend time with us too." she beamed. She was charming. Unknowingly, you nodded.

Jungkook was fooling the baby by sticking his fingers in his mouth, the baby sucked his fingers but then started crying.

"Jungkook, stop teasing my kid." Eun Ae slapped his arms playfully. "You shouldn't tease babies." she flabbergasted and pinched his forearm.

You laughed when he squealed. They both were definition​ of cute couple. You regretted every single thought you had about Jungkook, he was indeed a great husband even Eun Ae was an ideal wife.

"Jungkook should be teased as well.." Taehyung blurted out nonchalantly making the atmosphere​ awkward.

"Hyung." Jungkook stood up as he placed the baby in Eun Ae's lap and ran towards Taehyung whilst Taehyung got up making Jungkook to chase him around.

Eun Ae chuckled as she patted the little girl who was fast asleep on the couch beside her. "Sorry Eun Ae, they are in their early thirties but still they behave like kids."

You nodded, "That's good though." you replied.

+

"Eun Ae, please take care of yourself. Should I drive you home?" Jungkook asked genuinely. You knew he will actually drop you home if you said yes.

"No worries, I will-"

"Yah Jungkook, why are you asking? Just drive her home...!!" Eun Ae glared at him.

"Of course, Wait a second." Jungkook replied as he ran inside to grab the car keys before you could actually say no.

"Taehyung oppa left in hustle or he would have dropped you."

"I am sorry, I am troubling you guys a lot. I feel so bad."

"Mention not, after all we are family." She chuckled and you could see genuineness in her eyes, her heart was pure, the time you spent with her made you like her more. Now you know why Jimin was head over heels for her. She was definitely worth it.

Never in your dream you thought that you will get along with Eun Ae well.

You sat next to Jungkook, he was murmuring some songs, inbetween he did asked you some random questions. His presences never made you awkward. He was smiling and cracking jokes all the time, he told you about his daughter, how she gets on his nerves, he even told you about his newly born baby.

"Over here." you pointed towards your building. "That's my apartment over there."

Jungkook hummed and parked the car to the road side.

"Thank you. Thank you for all the things you and your wife did for me. See you soon. Take care." you said as you opened the door to get down but he called you.

You turned.

"About that.. aa.. you are really dating Jimin?"

You nodded without any hesitation.

"Thank you."

"For what?" your raised your eyebrows. Why was he thanking you?

Jungkook sighed as he turned his head towards the steering wheel, his eyes were fixed on it. "There was a guilt inside me.. aa.. do you know about-"

You interrupted, "About Mr. Park and Eun Ae?" you asked him and he nodded.

"I feel like I have betrayed him." Jungkook placed his hands on the steering wheel. "He fell in love with her first but then I came in between them. It shouldn't have happened but then I was selfish."

You sighed. "I am happy that things happened for a reason. I am lucky with Jimin by my side. Imagine your life without her?" you asked him.

Jungkook turned his head towards you. "It would be a mess."

"Same here Jungkook, same here. My life will be a mess without Mr. Park." you smiled. Jungkook gazed at you for a second.

"Hyung is lucky, now he has you by his side. Over these years, I was living in a guilt. Hyung never dated anyone nor he married anyone because he still had Eun Ae in his mind. I started blaming myself.. I felt as if I cheated...!! That would kill me every single day. I never told anyone but now I am telling you." he looked at you.

You felt the sincerity in his eyes. Love for his hyung. You were on the edge of tearing up. "I am glad that you are there by his side now." he smiled. "Promise me that you will try making him the most luckiest man alive. Make him feel loved because.. because he never got any.."

You nodded. "I will, I will because I love him." you smiled.

"Good. All the best...!"

You shared a smile and then you got down from the car.

You waved at him when he left. Today was one of the best day. You met many people especially Eun Ae. Now you know what you should do. It felt as if your heart and things finally fell at ease.

You unlocked the door but then Hyori called you.

"Eun Ae, where were you today? I was waiting for you." she scanned you. "You were out for grocery shopping isn't it? So where are the bags?"

"I..did not went for gro-"

"Forget it." she interfered. "..who dropped you? I saw you from the window. Was that Mr. Park? The car was expensive one, limited edition. Tell me tell me.. was he Mr. Park?" her eyes sparkled.

"No.."

"Then?" she crossed her arms.

"It was.. Mr. Park's friend. Jeon..Jungkook." you stuttered.

"Oh man holy shit..!!!"
