Hana's POV:-
I cried.

Yes, I cried.

I might seem tough from the outside but I'm still that girl that needs respect otherwise she'll cry.

I'm soft on the inside and I can't let people see my weakness.

I was crying on the stairs out side the house and I felt a pat on my shoulder.

"Go away!" I yelled and Jimin sat beside me. "Oh it's you. I-I'm" I sobbed. "I'm sorry"

"Hey, it's okay. And I admit that what Taehyung did back there was rude and he shouldn't have done that but you know try to ignore stuff"

"I'm ignoring it from the beginning"

"You know" he rubbed his hands together before tucking them under his arms. "It's both a blessing and curse to feel everything so deeply" he smiled and I sighed while looking at him.

"But my anger is right. He insulted me."

"Hana, don't be angry with people who don't have the capacity to change. It'll jeopardize you completely" he wiped my tears and I moved my face away from his finger a little. I just....nevermind.

"And what about the hurt I feel? The pain?"

"People will only hurt you to heal themselves. So should they matter?"

"But.....the words matter, Jimin" I sighed.

"Then you must treat him like the way he treats you" I looked at him. "Only then he'll change his attitude towards you" he smiled.

"But.....wouldn't that be disrespectful?"

"Does he give you respect?" I remained quiet. "Exactly" Jimin sighed. He doesn't even know why Taehyung's doing this all. In fact, no body knows except for me and Taehyung.

"No Jimin I can't do that. I can't disrespect him." I shook my head.

"How are you so pure?"

"I don't think so" I giggled. "Thankyou though"

"For what?"

"For at least coming to check up on me"

"Hey, don't be thankful for that. You can repay me"

"How?" I giggled and he pretended to think.

"How about I take you out somewhere tonight? Dinner?"

"Oh uh....."

"Don't reject, please. I want to know more about you" he smiled.

"But for that I'd first have to ask Mr. Kim"

"Sure---Oh look there he is. Come on Taehyung" Jimin exclaimed and I turned to look around and there was Taehyung nearing us.

"Hana I wan--"

"Taehyung, Hana wanted you to grant her permission"

"For what?" He asked narrowing his eyes and I was about to say something when Jimin interrupted.

"Actually I wanted to take her out with me and she hesitated. She wanted to ask you for the permission but I kept on telling her that it's okay. There's no need to ask Taehyung about it but she wouldn't agree. Tell her that she doesn't need your permission" Jimin chuckled and Tae seemed surprised and then turned his gaze towards me to which I dropped my gaze down.

"Taehyung buddy! Come on tell her that she doesn't need your permission" Jimin patted Tae's back and he smiled to Jimin.

Taehyung before signing the contract with Jimin used to he really worried about this contract and I know that in front of Jimin, Taehyung is helpless.

"No" he whispered and turned around to walk away.

"Tae? What do you mean?" Jimin asked and Taehyung stopped onto his tracks before turning around,

"I mean......why does she even need my permission?" He taunted and I looked at him when he scoffed,

"It's not like I'm her husband." I gulped when his stern gaze glistened. "It's your life. Do whatever you want." He hit the chair with his hand moving out.

"Are you okay?"

"Oh I just stumbled" he said and made his way out but I knew that Taehyung isn't comfortable with this all and he didn't stumble.

"See? Everything's fine now" Jimin smiled to me and I nodded to him.

"I'll take my leave now. Be ready by 6" he winked and we bid eachother good bye.

_________

"Aren't you shameless" Taehyung clapped as Jimin left and I was ironing my clothes for the hangout.

"You call yourself Taewon's mother when in fact you're going on a date"

"Stop labelling it as a date. It definitely isn't a date."

"You and a guy are going out together. How is it not a date?"

"It just isn't" I continued ironing.

"Fine. Then take Taewon with you"

"I have no problem in taking him with me. Jimin forced alot and I just can't reject him"

"Wow!" He clapped. "You have the audacity to defend a guy in my office snapping your fingers at me but you can't reject a guy who's totally interested in you"

"What?"

"Like duh!" He rolled his eyes.

"So why is it bothering you?" I placed my hands onto my waist.

"I am not bothered. I just feel vulnerable"

"For me?" I smiled and he scoffed.

"Get over me. Those days are so in the past."

"Then why did you come save me from those men?"

"B-because.....Taewon was in danger"

"Are you sure?" I smirked.

"Are you flirting with me?" He scoffed and walked towards me as my smirk disappeared and I stepped back getting startled from him.

He's turning the tables. He's turning the tables.

What's burning?

My cheeks.

"Tell me" he grabbed my ironed dress throwing it away, ruining the press and continued walking towards me.

"Are you flirting?" He smirked and I gulped hardly.

I stepped back as he neared me but Taewon gave my hips a push and I bumped into Taehyung who caught my back.

"This time, your lucky that possessiveness  overtook pains" he whispered and I just can't help but to fall deeper into his jealoused eyes.

He pushed me away from him but gladly the wall was behind me and he walked down the stairs fastly.

"Hehe.....it was cute" Taewon giggled with his tiny hand covering his mouth and I sighed as I grabbed my dress from the floor.

__________

I checked the water in the tub and it was luke warm, just as I like it.

I poured the bubble solution into the water and alot of bubbles appeared. I removed the robe from my smooth skin and stepped into the tub.

Just as I laid down the bubbles immediately covered my intimate parts and my muscles relaxed. 

I don't know if Jimin is interested in me or is he just being friendly. But I guess Taehyung is only doing this out of anger.

Jimin's sweet and a pure soul just like Lucas. It's not like I have forgotten about him. I'm just not allowed to keep contact with him.

"DON'T MOVE!"

"What the hell!?" I screamed sitting upright cupping my breasts as Taehyung entered the bathroom.

"I said don't move" he chuckled. "If you move the bubbles will expose you and I don't want to see you naked" he smirked and I dug myself more into the water so that the bubbles cover me properly.

"The hell!? Leave please!" I cried out.

"I'm going. I'm going. I just came in to grab my shaving kit." he smirked while wiggling his brows.

"Taehyung leave!" I shouted as I threw the bottle of shampoo at him but he ducked.

"How dare you!" He gasped and grabbed the bottle again throwing it towards me but gladly it missed.

"Go out!!" I shouted.

"Relax! It's not like you never wanted me to come in"

"No! I never. Now leave. This instant"

"Then why did you leave the door unlocked?" He smirked and I slapped my forehead.

"It was a mistake. Now leave!!" I whined.

"Oh so you're telling me that if it was Jimin or Lucas, you'll make this mistake again so that they can come in and flirt with you let alone see you naked?!?" His chest heaved as he raged with his brows raised.

"What? That doesn't even make any sense. Now go!?" I cired out while grabbing the soap bar.

"I already told you to not move!" He extended his arms out to defend himself against the bar of soap. There was a moment of silence when, "I can see your nipple!" He laughed.

"Taehyung!! Get out!" I threw the bar of soap at him and dug into the water so that the bubbles cover me.

Glad, I added alot of solution and the bubbles were cooperating but Tae wasn't.

"Why are you throwing stuff at me! I'm not looking at you" he said and neared me and I quickly sat in a position in which I was hugging my knees so that my bare intimate parts aren't in his sight.

"Go please" I whined and he sat beside the tub with a smirk on his face.

Only my knees, half of my back and my arms were in his sight. The bubbles covered the rest.

"No." He leaned forward. "I won't." He smirked and unclipped my bun and my hair immediately fell onto my shoulders.

"W-what are you doing?" I asked as he touched my hair.

"You remember I used to play with your hair because I loved long hair on you?" He smiled while running his hand through my locks and I just stared at him,

"Is that the reason you never cut your hair short?" He seemed touched and I sighed because that truly was the reason that I never cut my hair short even thought short hair was a fashion.

"Leave Mr. Kim. You're not--"

"Your body is the same that was once mine" he stated as he settled my hair and I tightened my grip around my knees,

"Petite." He ran his index finger on my shoulder,

"Curvy" his finger travelled to my back and not only just goosebumps attacked my skin but my muscles relaxed and tensed,

"Delicate," he said as his finger traced my bare rib cage but gladly it was under the layer of bubbles.

I closed my eyes as his finger traced from the side of my waist towards my arm, crossing the side of the breast, the side of my underarm and then crossing my shoulder and then coming to my arm.

Goosebumps were forming onto my skin and my toes tingled. His hand went into my hair feathering my cheek and my ear.

He lightly grabbed my hair and I opened my eyes to look at him. He neared my ear and my heart raced through my chest.

Don't move, Hana.

"I can see your cleavage." He whispered and I pushed him away while tightening my grip onto my legs.

He kept laughing and then took his leave.

"If you want me to help you dry off then I'm available." He winked before closing the door behind him and leaving me completely shook!

_________

I was wearing my earrings as I was all ready for the hangout with Jimin. Actually Jimin sent me a bag and he wanted me to wear that dress.

I sprayed my cologne onto my neck and Taewon chuckled.

"Mommy you look the prettiest" He clapped and I kissed his cheek as I settled his collar for him.

"My baby boy is the sweetest"

"And it's only because I place candies under my pillow" I giggled when he said that. How cute of him.

I was also thinking about what Taehyung said that Jimin's interested in me.

I mean if he wouldn't be interested in me then why would he take me out? And why would he specifically sent the dress for me, sending Taewon a few toys along with his favourite stuffed animal that is a giraffe.

And why would he send Taehyung a branded Rolex watch? It's another story when Taehyung didn't accept the gift and sent it back to Jimin.

"Mommy what are you thinking?" Taewon tugged onto my finger and I smiled.

"Baby?" I knelt down. "Do you like Uncle Jimin?"

"Very much. He's so nice he even gave me my favourite animal. Look, I have a giraffe" he clapped and I smiled as I shook my head. He's just a kid.

"Come on" we both exited the room and descended the stairs where Taehyung was sitting and watching television.

"Appa we're ready" Taewon announced and Tae looked at us before looking back at the television and then he suddenly turned around taking us in sight.

Specifically me.

"Didn't I tell you to give this dress back to Jimin? No need to accept his gifts?"

"I can't just---"

"Oh so now you're being naive" he clapped and neared us.

"Appa but she looks pretty," Taewon said and I just dropped my gaze when Taehyung again started to scan me from my head to my toe then from my toe to my head.

"You call this pretty," he scoffed as he emphasized the word 'this'.

"Indeed," we turned around and it was Jimin, smiling and standing in the door way.

"Uncle Jimin!" Taewon ran hugging his knees and Taehyung heavily exhaled as his anger issues were taking action.

"Hey buddy," Jimin knelt down caressing Taewon and I smiled at Taewon.

"Hey Jimin?" Taehyung looked at me but cheerfully called Jimin,

"Hana's desperate," he scoffed and I instantly looked at Taehyung. "She's smiling while looking at you"

"No Jim--"

"I'm desperate too though" Jimin replied and Taehyung immediately looked at Jimin, surprised.

"What exactly do you mean?" Tae asked and I crossed my arms under my chest internally smirking for Jimin's indirect comeback.

"I mean......" Jimin smiled and neared me before holding my hands. "For taking her out." He scoffed at Taehyung and Tae stood inbetween, looking at Jimin then switching his gaze to me as me and Jimin stared into each other's sockets.

"You look beautiful" he kissed my hand and Taehyung coughed onto air as I blushed.

"She is!" Tae emphasized, separating our locked hands. What is he doing? Wait a second.......Is he-is he jealous?

"But then why did you taunt me when I said that Mommy looks pretty?" We all turned to Taewon and Taehyung stuttered as he knew he messed up.

I blushed and smiled while looking down because I knew Tae felt jealous.

"Shall we go?" Jimin smiled while leaning a little forward and offering me his hand.

"Sure," I placed my hand onto his and Taewon clapped.

"Finally we're leaving!!"

"Yes. Come on" Jimin smiled offering his hand to Taewon now as he locked my hand in to his.

I peeked at Taehyung and he wasn't even looking at us but just at the clock.

"By 10 o clock you have to bring him back" Taehyung said eyeing Taewon but for some reason, I guessed that he was indirectly asking Jimin to bring me home by 10 o clock,

"Otherwise I'll send Simon." He proposed looking at me and I knew he can't close the doors as Taewon is going with us.

"Don't worry. They'll be at home by 9:57" Jimin winked and Taehyung nodded slowly digesting the mere roast done by Jimin, before kissing Taewon's head multiple times.

"Bye Appa. Love you. Take care" he blew a kiss towards Tae and he waved his hand in the air.

Jungkook's POV:-
It's been 2 weeks since Jiwoo and I haven't dived into bed.

Little Jeonsan, always shows up and we have to sleep at separate positions. The surface area increases on the bed when Jeonsan shows up.

When Jeonsan wasn't even born the surface area decreased because either me or her usually slept on top.

"Jungkook?" I looked up to see her as I was working on my laptop.

"Hmm?"

"I was wondering if I could talk to Hana" she fiddled with her fingers and I sighed as I closed the screen of my laptop.

"Jiwoo, exactly how many times do you want to have this conversation with me?" I asked sternly because she doesn't understand a single thing.

"Jungkook please......I feel bad for her" she bit her lip.

"And what about my friend? Didn't you feel bad for him?"

"I did. But that was in the past-"

"No." I cut her off. "Nothing is in the past. This war is going to be beyond what she has imagined."

"Kookie, didn't you see her face? She was so gloomy. She seemed so sad"

"She should be. I get really satisfied when I see her sad" I sighed. "But this is nothing. What Taehyung went through was worse."

"Should we tell he--"

"Jiwoo just leave it. When he wants it to be this way then why are you interfering? Leave it to me and Taehyung. We know how to treat her." I scolded and she closed her eyes with a sigh before grabbing my hand.

"Okay. I'm sorry. I just get alot concerned"

"Try to control it" I sighed. "By the way, where's your spoon?"

"He's doing his homework" she giggled and I wriggled my brows.

"I just got my period this morning" she blinked and I pursed my lips into a line as she continued spooning the sugar into the mug.

"We've got towels" I rubbed my nape.

"You're an asshole." She pecked my lips. "Finish your work"

Taehyung's POV:-
"Simon!" I shouted and he ran in.

"Yes sire?" He bowed.

"It's been a long time since they have left. I'm worried" I licked my lips as my left foot kept tapping on to the ground.

"Sire, it's only about half an hour"

"Exactly!" I exclaimed. "That's my point"

"Do you want me to go check up on them?"

"Are you nuts?! That'll be very disrespectful. How could you even think of spying on them urgh!" I plopped onto the couch as I was restless.

"I'm sorry, Sire. You're quite right."

"I, myself shall go" I snapped my fingers and he coughed.

"Sire, you can't drive in this condition."

"How cheap of her" I scoffed. "I am here with these damn injuries just because of that skunk and she's out there hanging out with my friend!!" I kicked the coffee table.

"I'm sorry Sire, but I can't help you with that" he stated and realisation hit me that I said it out loud.

"I want to stay alone for a while. You may leave"

"As you wish, Sire" he bowed and took his leave.

First that dumb Lunatic and now my friend, most importantly my business partner.

The contract I've signed with him means alot to me and my people. One wrong move and Jimin will be parting ways and I don't want that.

Lucas is an ordinary worker on the behalf of which I can keep Hana weak and easily vulnerable but Jimin destroys everything by defending her. He's equally powerful and a great charming guy. Wow. She's lucky.

He even gifted her a dress to wear as he was taking out.

But....but people do it on dates. I gifted her something when taking her out on a date. And they aren't dating then why would he send her a dress.

Or is it maybe that he......likes Hana?

I hurriedly pulled my phone out and called Jimin. Gladly he picked up.

"Hey Jimin. Is Taewon okay?"

"Are you sure you only wanted to ask about Taewon?" He chuckled.

"Ofcourse. Taewon. Only" I rolled my eyes.

"He's alright" he said and I was expecting him to tell me about Hana's safety but he didn't say anything, just laughed. I waited for him to tell me about Hana but he didn't.

"Taehyung?"

"Oh? Uh! Yeah. So, I'll hang up now"

"Sure" he said and is he doing this on-purpose? I remained quiet on the call, not hanging up and he finally let out a chuckle.

"Hana's fine too"

"Who asked about her?" I chucked a bit devilishly.

"Don't make me mention his name" he sounded annoyed now.

"Quit it. I just called for Taewon. He's alright then it's fine. You can keep Hana as longer and as much as you want. I'm just worried about my son" I scoffed.

"Okay. I'll hang u--"

"B-bye" I hung up and checked the time. Dang, it was annoying me.

Hana's POV-
"Dang, he gets worried really fasts" Jimin said as he joined me and Taewon back to the bench in the gold club.

"Everything good?" I looked up from my shades.

"Taehyung was worried about Taewon. I told him you both are fine"

"He didn't ask about me?" And I'm getting gloomy already.

"Not really. I guess?" He shrugged and Tae was testing my temperament. I felt sad yet angry at his behaviour.

"Uncle Jimin? What are we going to do?" Taewon asked.

"Let's play golf!"

"Golf? Mommy?" Taewon looked upto me with a questioning look.

"Jimin he's just 4. How--"

"That's okay. It's totally fine. I'll help him."

"Yayyy!" He clapped.

"Well, you both go play. I'll sit here."

"Hey why?"

"Because I don't know how to play gold" I giggled.

"I'll be your mentor" he bowed. "Don't worry, I'll teach you." He grabbed my wrist all of a sudden and Taewon insisted alot.

"Mommy pleajj???"

"Hana please?" Jimin knelt down to Taewon's level and they both looked at me with puppy dog eyes.

"Oh alright" I gave in.

"Yes! Now come on" he grabbed my hand, taking me forward.

The things Tae told me were getting to my head when Jimin all of a sudden touches me and maybe he does like m-------and my phone rang interrupting my thoughts.

"Lucas?" I mumbled and excused myself walking to a distance to attend the call.

"Hana? How are you?"

"Lucas? How are you?" I was worried that Tae out of anger doesn't do anything to Lucas.

"Don't even ask"

"Why?" Okay now I got really worried.

"I miss you."

"God Lucas, you almost scared me" I sighed. "How's work?"

"Everything's going okay" he said and I felt relieved knowing that Tae has actually put him aside.

"ThankGod."

"Mommy come!!"

"Hana you're outside?" He asked.

"Ahh yeah"

"With him?"

"He brought me" I had to lie that I'm with Taehyung because if I told him that there is no sign of Tae, he'd be rushing.

"Be safe, Hana. I'm really worried for you."

"Lucas please stop crying at least" this irked me now.

"I love you"

"Okay Lucas I gotta go. Take care."

"Bye"

Lucas is a whole dramatic person. Okay I know I'm exaggerating it but what can I do? He cries although I tell him that I'll be back. Shouldn't he accept it? I do care for him and I'm living with Tae only because of him. Why doesn't he understand anything?!
