DAHYUN'S POV

Christmas Eve.

I called Chaeyoung to help me look pretty, but she told me that she's going to be busy in the morning since she has to help her mom prepare the foods that they'll be eating tonight. Before, I go to their house, so I can celebrate with them because I was living alone. Good thing they didn't hesitate to help me even though I'm not part of their family. Chaeyoung is actually the reason why I celebrate with them every year. I have to thank her, so I decided to buy her a present.

I also asked Eunwoo, but he also said that he's going to be busy as well. I wanted to ask Doyeon for some company, but that would be awkward because we're not really that close. And I guess she'll be busy as well.

I guess if Hansol is here, he would cancel all of his appointments for today, so he can help me look pretty for later.

I had asked my three older brothers if they can go with me, but Joon oppa told me that he'd love to, but he has commitments to prioritize. Jin oppa told me that he's going to the company during the morning because grandpa has something to discuss with him. And Tae oppa...I don't know where he is, tho. I asked him over the phone, but he said that he's busy.

And so, I don't have anyone to be with me. I just want to look pretty for later because I'll be meeting Jimin. I want to look beautiful infront of his eyes. 

"Dahyun-ah," I looked at dad who called out my name so suddenly. He's not wearing his usual business corporate attire. He's wearing millenial clothes which made me chuckle. "What's funny?"

"Nothing, appa. You just look so cute wearing millenial clothes." I laughed at him and he reddened because of embarrassment. I think he's getting shy because I keep on laughing.

"You don't have anything to do for today, right?" I shook my head sideways. "Stand up. We'll go out."

"Go out?" He smiled and nodded. I got excited all of a sudden, so I hugged him and told him that I'll just wear nicer clothes. He waited at the living room while waiting for me to finish my own business.

After finishing everything, he led me to his car and drove us to the mall to hang out. I don't exactly know why he just asked me to go, but I think this is a good idea for the both of us to bond.

"Dad," I called him. I picked out two dresses and asked him which one is better. "Which one do you think fits me well?"

"Oh, dear, both of the dresses fit you well. I can't choose." I pouted and then he chuckled playfully. "You're just like your mom. Both of you can't decide which is which to wear."

"Dad," I paused and placed the dresses back to its rack. I searched for other dresses. "Can you tell me about my mom?" I barely know something about her. I usually hear that she's just a mistress, that I'm an illegitimate child, that I don't deserved to be loved because of what happened. When I was a kid, I used to cry a lot because I was teased a lot. I was bullied a lot.

"She's the sweetest, most pure and beautiful woman that I have met in my entire life. I loved her a lot, but I was arranged to your brothers' mom and I can't do anything." He explained and closed the magazine that he was reading. So dad decided to have a family with the woman that he loves the most? He loves mom so much. "But things didn't go the way I wanted it to be. She died after giving birth to you and Jin Hee died as well because of an accident."  I felt how lonely dad is. He's really sad for losing both of his wives. I glanced at him and noticed that some of his tears are flowing already, so I took my handkerchief and handed it to him. He gladly took it and wiped his tears. "Let's get your hair fixed. You must look pretty infront of Jimin later." He stood up and told the saleslady to buy everything that will look good on me. "We'll be back after finishing her hair." The saleslady nodded and dad dragged me out of the shop. We went to a parlor and had my hair dye removed.

"Woahhhhhh!" I laughed after seeing Jin oppa and Joon oppa fall on the floor just be looking at me. "Since when did you look so pretty?" Jin oppa asked and stood up. He helped Joon oppa to stand up and then they both walked towards my direction. I smiled shyly.

"Man, Jimin will surely fall for you all over again!" Joon oppa said, covering his mouth because of amazement. "Let's go downstairs. You're the only one that we've been waiting."

"I'll be downstairs soon." They both nodded and exited my room. I took my diary and wrote something shortly. I also grabbed my gifts for Jimin and my family. After that, I decided to go downstairs.

As soon as I reached the living room, I was puzzled to see our maids carrying food of all sorts. They're all heading towards outside and a van is waiting for them.

"Wait, what's happening?" I asked them.

"We're bringing those to Jimin." Joon oppa answered. I am jaw-dropped. Wow, seriously? Isn't it too grand? "Let's go! The limousine is waiting!" He grabbed my wrist and dragged me towards the car. He opened the car's door for me and then we both hopped in.

I don't know why am I so nervous. Maybe because it's been days since I last saw Jimin. I wish his face is already healing well.

"You look so tensed. Calm down," Jin oppa chuckled and patted my shoulder. I smiled at him and sighed deeply. A few moments after, we reached the place. A few people is actually puzzled to us. The driver opened the door for us and we all went down. Gosh, maybe we all took this celebration too much. We should've kept it simple.

I think dad already talked to the officials because they just let us in without asking anything. Jin oppa and Joon oppa walked beside me while Tae oppa walked behind me.

Ever step that I take, my heart beats faster and louder. Will Jimin appreciate my look for tonight? Will he be happy to see me and my family again? I wish he will.

I thought we're going to the same area where me and Jimin usually meet, but we headed to the jail's pantry. We saw a long table prepared for us and somehow, I guess they tried decorating it for us.

The maids and bodyguards placed the dishes on the table while we sat down and waited for Jimin to arrive.

"Calm down. That's just your fiancé, okay?" I heard Tae oppa whisper to me. I looked at him and half-smiled. I noticed how puffy his eyes are. Maybe he cried again. Oh, how I pity my older brother.

And then we saw Jimin walking towards our direction with two policemen by his side. I noticed that his face is kind of okay already. Some of his bruises faded already. He's handcuffed and the policemen didn't even bother removing it. I guess they're a little bit strict. The two officers stayed at the exit door and then we started our celebration.

"Merry Christmas, Chim." I told him. He smiled at me, so I gave him a kiss on his cheeks. I saw his tears flow out. Maybe he's just overwhelmed by us. "Hey, don't cry."

"Thank you for this. I thought you already forgot me." I don't know why, but I also teared up after seeing him cry. I took my handkerchief and wiped his tears away.

"There's no way I will forget the guy that I love the most." I whispered. I heard Joon oppa cough fakely, so I sat properly.

"You really love him." I nodded at dad's statement. "Merry Christmas, dear." He greeted Jimin. Jimin greeted him back and we started eating. Of course, I assisted him in eating since he's handcuffed.

"Say ahhh," I told him. Chuckling, he opened his mouth and I fed him like a baby. "Is it good?" He nodded and asked for a drink. I took the wine immediately and put a straw on the wine glass, so that he could just take a sip on it easily.

We talked about some things with Jimin. Dad asked about his experiences while he's in there. My brothers interrogated him if he really does love me because if he doesn't, he'll go back to jail.

"I love Dahyun very much. I feel lost without her. She completes me." He reasoned which made me blush. "My heart just flutters whenever I think of her. Especially when I see her." He stared into my eyes as if he's reading me. "I feel like if I dive into her eyes, I will drown and can never escape anymore." He said very sincerely. "I'm in love with her so badly."

"Very well said." Dad clapped. "You have my blessing for your future wedding."

"Thank you, Mr. Kim."

"Call me Father."

"Father." Jimin smiled. I called out his name, so he faced me. I held his cheeks and pulled his face closer to mine. I kissed his lips infront of my family. He's my first kiss and I don't regret it since he's my first love as well.

"I love you, Chim." I told him while hugging him.

He chuckled. "Don't worry, I love you, too." He whispered.
