Chapter 17: Sweet Amends

Natalie sat up with tear-stained cheeks and loosened her grip on the bedsheets. Her face fell at her tear-soaked pillow. 'How wrong could he interpret something?' Natalie thought with dismay as she reluctantly climbed out of bed. Her phone was suddenly filled with calls and texts from V about how horrible Jimin felt for misunderstanding her. 

~Flashback~ 

Vincent sighed angrily as he glared at the door, upset at how Jimin had easily assumed the worst of Natalie. 'His own girlfriend!' Vincent thought as his fists shook with rage. "Natalie, just wait here." He said softly as he tenderly patted Natalie's shoulder before running out. He managed to chase after Jimin as Jimin shoved Vincent back sharply. 

"What the hell do you want? You tried to steal my girlfriend, you really think coming after me is a good idea?" Jimin said in an eerily calm, yet hints of bitterness resonated in his voice. Vincent panted as he put up a hand to request that Jimin stayed silent for what he had to say. "You completely misunderstood everything. Nothing happened with me and Natalie. That stupid reporter twisted the story." 

Vincent explain, exasperated and scared as Jimin remained a little skeptical. "How do I know that you're not just lying to me?" Jimin asked quietly as Vincent gripped his shoulder and shook him. "Natalie's up there, crying and heart-broken at how you chose to believe that she cheated on you. Instead of believing her." 

The image of Natalie crying her eyes out was burned into his brain along with the weight that he was the one that made her cry. "Oh my god, jagiya I'm so sorry." Jimin muttered guiltily and quietly as he attempted to run back into the apartment. 

"Woah woah. Don't go up there right now, at her state of mind right now, she won't be able to have a coherent conversation with you. Just come back tomorrow, alright?" Vincent remarked with a sympathetic face as Jimin silently complied and continued on the path to the dorm. 

~Flashback Ended~ 

Vincent's text finally made sense to her as she smiled to herself. She knew she made a good choice being friends with Vincent. Right then, she heard a series of knocks at her door as she ran to  the door, not expecting to see Jimin on the other side. "Jimin?" Natalie called out quietly as Jimin quickly enveloped her into a warm embrace, the air was filled with tangible regret and relief from Jimin at how Natalie didn't fight him off when he hugged her. 

"Jagi, I'm so sorry I was stressed from practice and seeing the picture made my mind wander into a negative direction. But none of this makes it okay for me to just assume something wrongly." Jimin quickly apologized as Natalie held him tight against her. His quickness on apologizing seemed to endear him to her even more for how he swallowed his pride and apologized in fear of losing her. 

"It's okay, I forgive you." Natalie muttered as she cupped his face and pressed her forehead against his. "I love you." They mumbled simultaneously to each other. 

Jin groaned in slight annoyance as he was awoken by his daughter's giggles as she played with her dolls. He stifled his laughter as he heard her attempting to imitate his voice. "Jagi, you're the best for me. No one else could compare to you." Jin bit on his lip as he swallowed back his laughter, in fear of waking up Emily. 

However at the same time, Chae Young's voice rang out through the house again as she once forced her voice to sound deep to match her dad. Laughter sounded out from him as he laughed heartily, unintentionally waking up Emily as she groaned. "Oppa~." Emily whined, annoyed because of exhausted she still was yet she also couldn't fall back asleep.  

Jin felt a little guilty knowing it was really hard for her to fall back asleep once she had been woken up. "Sorry jagi~." Jin cooed as he kissed her head and rocked her in his arms, hoping the lull would bring her back to dreamland. While Emily opened up her arms and interlocked her hands around his waist and lightly pecked his lips before falling back asleep. 

Chae Young came running in as Jin quickly signaled her to quiet down and motioned at Emily's sleeping figure with his eyes. He made sure Emily was back into deep sleep before gently prying her arms off his waist and tip-toed to the kitchen with Chae Young in tow. 

Mella and Yoongi were exploring the pet store as Mella's eyes lit up when she saw the snake that she had only been able to admire from afar. "Oppa, look!" Mella called out as she pulled Yoongi with her to look at the section, with snakes. "Jagi, why are we looking at snakes when we already have Holly~?" Yoongi whined, wanting to go back home and bury himself inside his cocoon of blankets with Mella in tow. 

"Oppa, can we get one?" Mella pleaded as Yoongi frowned and was just about to refuse her when her eyes turned droopy whenever she felt sad. "Ughh okay, tell them which one you want." Yoongi caved as Mella squealed happily and pecked him shyly on the lips before turning away. Yoongi smiled widely as he wrapped an arm around her waist. 

"Didn't you also wanted that ferret?" Yoongi asked affectionately as she giggled. "No, No it's fine. You already bought me this snake-" Yoongi interrupted her with a sweet kiss as he smiled boyishly at her. "Well I want some pets to keep you company and remind you of me. So that it would seem as if I'm always there with you." Yoongi confessed shyly as he brought a hand back to scratch the nape of his neck. 

"Yoongi oppa~!!" Mella called out as she hugged him tight and sighed in relief. They adopted a snake and a ferret as they arrived home. 

Yoongi suddenly began poking her sides and ignoring her cries that were mixed with laughter as she accidentally kicked him as she ran away. Yoongi smirked and chased after her as she wrestled with him to push him away as he smirked while effortlessly holding her up in the air. 

"Yoongi oppa, put me down!" Mella screamed as Yoongi chuckled and brought her into their shared bedroom. He gently sets her on to the bed as she narrowed her eyes and grabbed fistfuls of his shirt. "I love you~! Let's do laundry." Yoongi suddenly offered casually as she stared at him in disbelief. 

Jungkook and Teresa were cuddling in bed along with their puppy in the middle as Teresa caressed the pup's head, loving the reaction she gets as the pup yips happily and brushes his head against her hand on his accord. Jungkook smiled in adoration at her beautiful side-profile, loving her smile that she has when the pup does something a little cuter than usual. 

"Aish, jagi I'm cute too~." Jungkook whined as she brought up the pup to his face and giggled. "Do you two need to talk?" Teresa asked jokingly as Jungkook scrunched up his nose and shoved a finger in the pup's face. "I'm the golden maknae and therefore I would be the cutest and the one who receives the most love, you got that?" Jungkook said before he began petting the pup and eventually cuddled the pup in his arms. 

"He's so cute." Jungkook whispered as he stared down at the pup tenderly. Jungkook rubbed the pup's belly as his foot wiggled and pawed thin air out of happiness. Teresa squealed happily as she wrapped her arms around him and planted a sweet kiss on the corner of his lips, that left him wanting more. 

Namjoon and Sheri were out, having lunch together on their own as they dropped off Suho at Emily's place. "Jagi, I don't know what I miss more, Suho or how long it had been since we finally have some alone time together." Namjoon joked as Sheri giggled and interlocked her hands with his. Proud of how their relationship had been able to withstand tests along the way and there they were, laughing and loving life. 

Namjoon certainly couldn't waste his opportunity of being a cheesy romantic husband, as he ordered the staff of the kitchen to prepare a ring inside the batter of Sheri's favorite cake. The cake came out, looking absolutely delicious and common, however just as Sheri took a bit out of the cake, she felt a metal on her teeth.

She pulled out a ring as Namjoon smiled smugly, and slipped on the ring for her. "A little gift for you." Namjoon muttered as he leaned over and captured Sheri into a kiss. " I can't believe I still love you even though our house is a mess with all of the pets you wanted." Namjoon joked as Sheri laughed and lightly smacked his arm. "Well I really like animals~." Sheri whined as Namjoon nodded with a smirk. 

J-hope and Sofia were twirling around in the practice room as they smiled and laughed heartily. "It's been so long since we were able to hang out like this." J-hope commented as Sofia chewed on her lower lip and wrapped her arms around him. "I know, but I miss you all the time whenever you're away. You're my hope, my Hobi." 

J-hope and Sofia had begun dancing to Spring Day as he purposely pressed himself against her, pulling out all the stops to make her blush while she whined and pulled away from him. "Oppa~." Sofia whined in between laughter as J-hope chuckled and caressed her cheek. "Okay, okay we'll start now." J-hope said as Sofia narrowed her eyes at him before they started dancing. 

Beginning, Sofia was still a little off-beat as they slowly became insync with each other, seeing her passion for dancing had endeared her to him all the more. As he slowly made his way over to her and managed to pull her into a dip right before the song ended. "Mrs.Jung's dancing had certainly gotten better." J-hope cooed as Sofia giggled and pecked his lips softly. 

Joanna and Taehyung were strolling in the park as suddenly, a man ran up to the couple and grabbed Joanna's arm. "Excuse me! Who are you?" Joanna said, annoyed and lost as Taehyung tightened his hold on her and glared at the mystery man.
