A big wave of swirling anxiety was rippling inside her nervous system making her feel goosebumps all over her body as she came to know the news of a sudden dinner with Parks, specifically with Mins.

Though her stomach was squeezing with all the small butterflies just by the thought of seeing him in that mansion, she was so afraid. It's been a long while. She doesn't know how will she behave in front of him.

Everything always went upside down with her whenever she looks at those icy blue eyes which contain nothing but pure gentleness in them.

There's something in those eyes of his which encloses deep calming waves of the sweet ocean. His voice always seems like the purest melody in a peaceful atmosphere which every time makes anyone feel highly hypnotic. 

How will she stay still in front of her crush?

Is she able to control her gasps when he will look at him again?

What if she does something she will regret?

What will happen if she embarrasses her in front of him?

'Oh god!'

She breathes deeply through her nose, all the way because it feels like oxygen was leaving her lungs, trying to keep as much distance as possible from her.

The ice cream was long finished when they entered the massive gate of Parks property.

It's not like her first time today here, because she spends her childhood playing all day in Jimin's mansion, after her adoption. Mrs. Park was just like her second mother, who always make sure Sun is smiling and living her life happily and fullest even in her home.

The car speeds up through the long way where the path is covered by long tress decorating the road which leads to the beautiful mansion.

It always looks like a royal mansion from outside, but that's the point of it's. The inner mansion is entirely opposite from the outside. Everything inside it screams modernness, all thanks to precious Jimin.

Precisely, it looks almost imaginary.

When Jimin was about to stop the car near the gate, Sun's gaze landed on the most beautiful view ever. The whole property of Park's was twinkling like limitless stars in the vast black sky. All the lights on it were glowing like never before, or that's what she thinks.

Her eyes blink to make the vision clear, has she just reached her destination? Why everything seems so dreamy? All the things here look like a dream, a fantasy dream because it's one of the highest graded mansions In Korea.

Her breath hitched when the car stops and she saw her family cars parked near the long way in front of the enormous garden. Her heartbeat rumbles inside the heart, they started to beat on another level making her hands shake as she moves her gaze around the whole area, looking for the car she has been waiting for.

But she finds none. There's no car except her family and Parks. His family is still not here.

Yoongi is still not here.

However, for a second her stubborn heart listened to her and returns to the normal rhythm.

There are a million thoughts that were crawling into her already messed up mind. About her reacting to him and his parents for the first time.

She was all in her thoughts about what will happen the moment she will step into his house when the car door opened, revealing a well build black-suited bodyguard.

Just when she was about to give her hand to the guard to let her outside the car, Jimin stopped the man.

"Let me."

He gestures to the man, politely.

And so the man bows down immediately and stepped back leaving them alone. She likes how they take care of him so well, not even one time she heard any news of Jimin's accident. Because they are the best in their jobs.

The relationship between them is like uncle and nephew. All she can think of one word, cute.

Sun smiled at the childish act of her friend. After giving her hand to Jimin she stepped outside the car, adjusting her dress and closing the gate properly.

She breaths in the fresh air again because the atmosphere is so fresh for her liking. She gazed at the sky, it seems like it's going to rain just by looking at the shady, gloomy clouds. She shuddered and her spine erected when a cold shiver ran down her body, because of the frostiness.

"Ah" she gasps in the air and rubs her hands, doe eyes still boring in the sky, tracing one of the glorious art of God. That's when a warm soft cloth covered her back, making her body instantly feel safe and cozy by the hotness in it.

When she looked down, she finds a smiling Jimin. His coat was gone from his body, he looks more like a boy now without any puffy clothes on him.

So young and adorable.

"Jimin, it's cold. You need this."

She whispered through her red lips, all thanks to the coldness of ice cream that time and now because of the weather. Her hands directly got attached to the fabric on her back, now going to take it off when Jimin stopped her from doing it.

"I am fine, trust me. And you look like you need this more than me."

Unconsciously her lips form a small but visible pout after what he said. And so she nodded and told him to enter because they must be waiting for both of them.

"Wait a second. Your hairs." He speaks up, his now small hands were parting her hairs just like what she did in the morning.

She stays still, unmoved because nothing is new in it. He every time take care of her more than ever. And all she feels so lucky to have these lovely people near her, making her life easier and wonderful.

"Done." He announced and then giggled while poking the noticeable pout on her face, making her eyes widen, suddenly startled.

"Jimin-ah!" She scolded the younger making him laugh, throwing his head back a little. She then licked her lips and turned around to look at the car mirror to see her makeup is still in place or not.

"It's fine. It's fine. Really!" Jimin explained clearly, totally aware of what she is doing. After everything happened one of the bodyguards look after the car, probably parking it in the underground garage. The bodyguards near the gate escort them towards the mansion main gate. Both of them bowed to everyone in respect. Likewise, they got it too.

When the gate unlocked, and the female maids welcomed them with a gentle smile, looking so happy to see them after the long day.

They accompany both of them from there, now directing to the great grand dining hall. They both passed the long hallway, seeing all the familiar lights on the side of the walls, large blazing chandelier gleaming and sparkling the view making it look magical.

The night view through the mansion halls looks almost majestic, where the spectacular swimming pool adores the beauty much more because of the pure blue clear water. 

Now their ears catch some voices making them smile as they both look at each other and in seconds they communicate and the next moment they were running to reach the hall.

Maids which were left there ran behind them, well aware of what these cute little minds are thinking, everyday drama it is.

"MOM"

"MUMMA."

Everyone in the dining hall startled at the sudden loud voice but those wide eyes turned into crescent moon ones as they smile in delight, now kissing their children's cheeks.

"How are you, my heart?"

Mrs. Park raised a question and again kissed her son's cheeks making his nose scrunch from the warm sensation, with a sweet smile that explains how much he loves his precious mother, Jimin answered,

"I am fine, mom. Just a bit tired as always." He whined again when a kiss landed on his forehead.

His mother after giving him hundreds of kisses, came forward to see her so-called daughter, "Sweety, how are you? It's been a long while." When her eyes landed on her figure she whispered, looking at her carefully.

"Oh wait, why are you looking so small? Are you eating properly? Hm?" Mrs. Park brushes her hands all over her body, looking gingerly.

After heaving an unhappy sigh she turned around, now giving a suspicious glance at her family friend, Mrs. Kim, who was the same as her daughter, grinning so widely at how much the other women look concerned at little things.

And when Mrs. Park came to know that there's a playful grin spreading on the face of the person sitting right in front of her, she huffed, "Why are you grinning like a fool, Sora? Did I just make a joke for you to laugh at?"

Sun's mother tighten her lips when she got scolded by her school friend. The comment was nowhere harsh, it just can't be. Sora, Sun's mother knows all this is just because her friend is worried too much about her daughter.

As always.

She often stressed herself knowing how much her friend's daughter was working hard in this industry to stay in her place. Sun as a hardworking person was always the one to put her work first upon everything and that's what makes her forgot to take care of herself.

Whenever they had holidays and both Jimin and Sun came to have a good time together she always feeds them with her hands because as cheerful and energetic children they were, they always goof and run around all over the mansion. One of their favorite places is near the park and swimming pool which endlessly gives Jimin's mother and maids hard time.

But they all were happy.

Actually, they are happy.

Because whenever those small squeals of happiness left both of their baby lips as they both ran around the maids, whenever they play, the workers feel they are at the best place.

Because this is what happiness is.

The way Mrs. Park cherishes and adores her like her own daughter is such a sweet picture to watch. If anyone in this world-first will have tears in her eyes to see how much Sun grows in a beautiful girl, it was always Jimin's mother.

And about Jimin, well, he doesn't have even a single problem with it. Why would he have when he is one of them who thinks the same too?

"We are here talking about our daughter, look how tiny she is looking in this dress."

She turned her whole body around to see the beautiful girl in front of her, but now she looks like a pretty doll who she wants to feed so bad, "Oh, baby." So cooed, unable to control herself she hugs the small-looking baby to her who blushed in reaction.

Receiving so many pure emotions from everyone here makes her feel like crying so when she was hugging her other mother, she whispered, "I am fine, mother. Don't worry too much."

That was enough to make Mrs. Park have small beads of tears in her eyes, but not enough to full right away.

After detaching her body from hers she mumbled, "Why do you have to make me cry?" Her lips, faintly painted by red matte lipstick forms a cute pout.

Both hands now rested on her waist as she gave her a soft look, "You know what sweety. . . go wash yourself in your favorite room and take all your time because we are still preparing for dinner. And about guests, they will be arriving in one hour maybe."

She pushed her softly towards the long golden stares, wanted her to take a bath and feel free here. Her eyes turned to her left, looking at her son, "Jimin you too. Take your time. Okay, honey!"

There comes a nod from the friends as they make their way to the stairs leaving again a pair of friends.

"Sora, are you really taking care of her properly?" Mrs. Park inquired.

"Oh yes, I am. You don't have to worry about her. She is fine." Mrs. Kim let out.

"I don't think so. Please try hard or I will adopt her and make her my daughter. And you know I am not joking." She warned playfully, a small smile spreading on her lips.

"Oh, really! But you are already like her mother to her, Seong." Sora laughs.

"So what, I will kidnap her if you stopped me!"

"Oh, God! You and your tactics. I swear if someday she got kidnapped I am not gonna get shocked because why would I be when you are the one who did it!"

Both laughed at that silly conversation and continued their chatter while working for making dinner with maids. 

-

Jimin was the first who washed and changed the clothes for the further dinner program. After closing the door of his room he started to walked towards hers, trying to figure out what's going on because it's already one hour.

Meanwhile, here the well-dressed girl was trembling in nervousness. It's been fifteen minutes and she is still sitting in front of the dressing table looking at her puffy eyes.

Yes, she cried.

Because this mind is not giving her any time to think. Because she wanted some peaceful time for herself. Everything around her is just moving very fast like the time has nothing to do with her.

What is she even doing? Why she still has these feelings for him? This is unfair. It is forbidden to have love feelings for some other person when you are going to marry someone else.

She can't have these feelings for him. She just can't. She wanted to stop this. But she was unable to. Her mind, soul, heart, eyes, breathe just wanted to feel and see only one person in front of her.

Yoongi.

She wanted to run somewhere, somewhere far from this world, maybe she can just dig a very deep hole in the ground and hide in it, and after everything will pass she can think of coming back. Because she just came to know the news of Min's arrival by one of the maids here. Just five minutes ago.

He is here. Her love.

But if she had these thoughts in her mind, how will her father react if they came to know that his daughter is not a good wife. What will happen if they find out that she has feelings for someone?

No! No!

'Stop thinking about your love.' A sob got muffled by her right hand as she slaps it in her lips, trying to stop herself from crying hard.

'Just stop thinking about him.' All the way her tears started to ruin her makeup because of how hard she was crying from inside. Abruptly, she picked the nearby tissue packet and almost tear one of those tissues while tapping them on her face.

She is not a violent girl. She never was. But the frustration was doing its best job. She softly throws the tissue on the table. The crumbled one landed near the locket of hers which was gold plated, highlighted with colorful soft blue beads. The heart shape locket was like calling her from inside to open it again like always.

So she opened it. And there it is.

A photo of her father and mother on one side and the other her two beautiful brothers, smiling beautifully just for her because she was the one who clicked the picture.

She was happy, she can make them smile like this. It is genuine anyone can see that. There are no lies, no fabrications, no forgeries in it. It is pure as always.

And there goes her crying again like a pathetic girl. Both hands were now balancing her head and she bends down to cry harder in her hands but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

It startled her very much, in the impact she almost lost he balance while getting up and tapping her puffy cheeks hurriedly. In a single minute, she retouched her makeup and throws all the wet tissues in the bin look at herself in the mirror to see if there's any kind of evidence of her crying.

There's nothing, just those faded red eyes, but she can manage it by giving any reason. It was not her first time.

Perfect.

"Coming, Jiminie." She opened the door for him and welcomed him with a smile on her face which was immediately returned by him. "Are you ready, noona?" His right-hand goes for checking and properly parting her hairs.

"Yup I am. And you are ready too." She blinked her lashes and saw how adorable he is looking in the chimmy Pjs. She giggled when he boop her nose telling her a quiet yes.

"Your voice seems a little hoarse and what happened to your eyes. They are. . . red." Concerned Jimin pouted, now looking at her eyes, searching for the reason which she answered right away, but after freezing for a whole second which was unnoticed by Jimin.

"I have a cold. See my nose is runny too. I think it's because of ice cream. But don't worry I am strong. You know noona is strong right?" She expectantly gazed at the younger boy who immediately nodded as an answer.

"I can see that...your hands are shaking too. Wait a second let me grab a sweater for you." He shows his tiny index finger to his noona, trying to make sure she understands what he is saying.

In reaction, Sun tries to stop him but the sweet adorable boy was long gone from the room. After a whole minute passed he came with an embroidered light cream cute sweater and make her wear it in front of him.

She smiled when she saw how beautiful it looks on her white comfortable gown. So she couldn't help herself and let her words out, "It's gorgeous. Your mother has great taste." Her eyes now tracing the stunning clothing which warms her and makes her feel easy.

For one second she just forgets the time of her crying pathetically because of her feelings. The warmth and heat were so comforting.

"It is yours."

She turned around, now focusing on Jimin who said something but she was very much into taking the wonderful piece of art so she didn't hear anything.

"You said something?" She tried to ask again. He sighed, licking his lips unconsciously as he repeated it, "It's yours. I brought it for you."

"Jimin?" Her eyes are big in shock as she looked at the very fine piece of cloth. Now all she can see the softness and quality of the cloth. It was made with one of the best silk, her eyes were now looking at the small flowery design.

She again was shocked at how much of fine it is.

"Jimin.." She gulped, giving Jimin a soft worried look, which he reacted with a whine.

"Don't just stare at it like this. It's yours, take it as a gift, please." He gave her a vulnerable look, well known at how much it affects. And so she sighed, nodded timidly, and returns to embrace the stunning sweater in her.

They were talking but before they speak anything more a maid came to inform her that they are starting the dinner shortly.

Jimin nodded happily, so delighted and excited that he is finally going to meet his Hyung after a long time. He didn't tell him about his plans for going to Australia and now it's already the third month since they last talked.

Meantime, her heart was not giving her a single second to breathe so she turned away from Jimin and take a deep breath after seeing how the maid and Jimin were so absorbed in talking.

She was happy that this sweater was incredibly helping her to feel soft and safe. And with a deep breathe again, she told herself.

Keep calm.

No looking at him.

No blushing.

No smiling.

Just stay there like any other dinner.

Just. . .don't! Don't look at him.

-

She can't help herself from looking at him.

He is looking stunning, so beautiful in the shiny silk midnight blue shirt and black leather jeans. His pale face was glowing like a damn tubelight giving her light of her seven lives.

Why is the glowing so much? It's blinding her to the core. God! She can't see anyone except him.

He was not looking at her, because as a gentleman he was, he bowed to her and Jimin's parents. The freaking ninety-degree bow with a gentle smile on his face, totally not forgetting the maids.

In the next moment, she saw him talking to Jin and Jungkook who just came to have the grand dinner.

Laughing, smiling at silly things with those gums, his icy blue deep wavy enchanting-ly mesmerizing eyes were looking everywhere to find someone.

He is the light, of her life. He is her everything when he did nothing, that's what makes her feel butterflies.

She is not thinking straight. Her eyes were blurring with dizziness, she can't see clear anymore because of how her head was spinning with thoughts and responsibilities.

He never sparkles this much. She never saw him like this, so adoring but hot in her this whole life. Wait did she just said hot?

No! No! No!

Abort! Abort! 

Don't think! DON'T THINK!

"NOONA! Careful!" A frightened harsh piercing cry left Jungkook's lips, no matter how happy he was a moment ago all goes in a second when he saw with his own eyes that his older yet so tiny sister lost her balance on the stairs when she was looking at someone so dearly.

He ran the moment her right leg slips on the stairs. Everyone in the dining hall was astounded by the terrifying yell and with that, all the heads turned in the direction of someone who was running in the way to the long stairs.

But before any terrible accident happened, Jimin, who was two stairs below her turned around and at the right time held her body by her hands, resulting in landing her whole body on him.

Everyone in the room let out a scream again when they saw Jimin himself lost the balance, but before anything happened Jungkook goes for the rescue. He held both of them.

Jimin was really thankful for the first time in his life that Jungkook has these bulky muscles and has a buff body that can easily handle anything.

They both bicker like small children but loving each other is what they always do.

Jimin's heart was beating out of his chest when his eyes locked with Sun, his princess. She was shivering and crying, still not able to get out from the shock. She didn't even look up and everyone in the room was freeze at what just happened, including someone whose eyes were wide as ever.

Jungkook on the other hand looked at her sister's condition. Immediately, his head snapped towards the only person he wants with her to be.

"Sun-Hi!"

There goes Jin, her brother who she wants more than anything now. He was always the one who can calm her with his soothing voice.

"Shhh! Everything is a fine baby. Nothing happened here. You're okay." She heard that honey dripped voice near her making her head up for the first time now.

And for Jin, well he feels like he is not breathing anymore.

He never wanted to see this sight again.

She has tears in her big eyes as she looked at Jin in her helpless state, lips shivering in need of oxygen, trembling body in panic, hands shaking in dizziness and anxiety as she collapsed in his arms.

Surrendering herself to her safe place.

It happened before. Exactly the same thing that happened years ago, leaves a very tragic mark on her heart and mind where she lost her balance at the age of fifteen but the difference is that. . . she got hospitalized that time due to how bad it was.

And it repeated this time. Now the whole family was uneasy about the consequences. But Jin was the one who feels like everything around him was darkening, fog was luring both of them in towards extreme sadness.

Because he understands what she feeling.

Because it was frightening in every way.

The way you feel when your body loses control over itself and you don't know what to do anymore. It's uncontrollable.

She was the one who saved him that day from falling on the school stairs, and in the process she lost her balance over her body, leading her to fall on the floor, bleeding hard.

She didn't forget that. Can never in her life.

Just like Jin who cried on the hospital bed near her when she was hospitalized for three months.

"I got you b-baby! It's alright. I got you. Everything is alright. You didn't f-fall. I am here with you. You. . ." he picks the shivering body up in his arms. Just like then, but it's a relief that this day is better than the previous one.

She is not bleeding!

Her head is not bleeding!

Not because of him.!

She is safe and secure, in his arms!

". . .are fine. In my arms. Yes, you're fine!" His voice trailing off because of exhaustion. All he does was softly shushing her when she babbles incoherent words in his arms which she didn't know she is saying in this state.

In Jin's eyes, his sister is still a baby who was six when she was adopted, soft wide bambi eyes just like Jungkook's, looking at the whole mansion with surprise.

He still remembers how much he giggles when she first called him big brother.

She's a grown up women now but, how can he change the fact that his sister still looks so small in his safe hold. It makes him wanna protect her more and more.

Even a scratch on her, pains him.

Her body shakes slightly, less than before when her mother touched her softly on her forehead seeing if she has any kind of fever or not, which thankfully was not at that moment.

When she began to open her eyes ever so slowly, Sun realizes the surrounding near her changed, the scenery was not like before. Her legs were on the sofa and the whole body was in the embrace of someone.

She flinched and dazed out of her dizziness, now finding her hands that were already clutched in a pink soft shirt. She jerked back, appalled about how she came to this position when the person hushed her again, softly putting the index finger on her lips, "It's me! Jin. Stay calm. Everything is fine."

When her eyes aimlessly roam around near her surrounding, she sensed everyone is looking at her.

Every single one.

Her and Jimin's parents. Both Jungkook and Jimin. Everyone's concerned face was clearly giving her some type of worry.

What did she do this time? Did something happen?

Her eyes were still traveling around the hall, now stuck at Yoongi, who already was wearing a worried face.

When Yoongi sensed that her soft adoring eyes were not planning to leave him for a second, he gulped unintentionally but couldn't help himself and finally asked.

"A-Are you feeling fine now?"

His deep hoarse, full of worry voice booms in her ear canals, making her eyes teary for the first time. But the reason was so good.

This was the first time them talking. The very first time she heard him talking to her. Asking her if she is fine. Wanted to know how she is feeling.

It's sure as hell was attractive.

Freaking hypnotizing for her.

Like waves of still water which mesmerize you and make you go crazy.

Her eyes were not blinking anymore, her cheeks were hurting badly to the point that they turned red in embarrassment or maybe nervousness.

Whatever it is. But one thing is clear for her,  she was unable to resist the voice, the sweet calming voice which can make her sleep all night without any nightmares.

So she tried her best to answer the small question, with a tiny word.

"Y-Yes. I am."
