"Yes...Jungkook i like her... i mean, i am in love with her" he said shyly, biting his lower lip and he looked away.

"hyung... yo..you what?" Jungkook stuttered as he never saw this side of his hyung. He was left amused.

"There is nothing between you and her so i still have a chance, don't it?" he raised his eyebrows questioning. Jungkook on the other hand wasn't​ able to understand what he should reply, he just felt weird.

"Jimin hyung... i..if you love her then g..go for it..." he hesitated, there was a creak in his voice which even he noticed.

He smiled weakly while Jimin was grinning from ear to ear. The extreme corners of his eyes crinkled as his eyes disappeared. Jungkook noticed rather he knew this happens only when Jimin smiles whole-heartedly.

"Thanks Jungkook-ah" he hugged Jungkook in merriment, unable to hold his excitement now.

"Hyung the bottles..." he tried pushing him as he had bottles in his hands. Jimin released him​ and took some bottles from his hand and made his way out before Jungkook.

"Hyung really loves her?" he mumbled as he bit his inner cheeks. He wasn't​ sure that whether he should be happy for his hyung and Eun Ae or he should be sad, it was just that he felt himself being trapped with some sort of 'unknown feels' which he was not able to define right now. He shook his head and made his way outside.

The rest of the time Jungkook kept on taking sneak peek at Jimin who was happy and smiling the whole time without any reason as if he has conquered the world.

Few weeks later

"Jungkook for god sake just tell me where are we going?" Eun Ae asked Jungkook who was busy driving and wasn't responding to her questions while on the other hand she kept on bugging him as he had forcefully dragged her along with him after office.

"Eun Ae just keep quiet..." he answered. Eun Ae knew that he wasn't​ going to tell her anything untill unless he wanted to. So she averted her eyes towards the window in frustration.

They reached a bungalow and he parked the car inside the wide parking area.

She got down from the car and tried reading the name plate which was hung on the door as she was not able to read the one which was hanging at the main gate due to absence of light.

"Kim's residence" she read out loud. She wondered whose bungalow that must be.

"Namjoon oppa? Taehyung oppa or-"

"It's Jin hyung's residence" Jungkook interrupted on which she just rolled her eyes at him. Jungkook knocked the door and soon it was opened and they were welcomed by Jin. They noticed that he wasn't​ smiling nor he spoke anything. They both walked inside after Jin and noticed the others which were waiting for them in the living room.

"Hyung what is the matter? why did you guys called me and Eun Ae here?" Jungkook asked the elder but then noticed that he wasn't in the mood of responding so he repeated the question and this time he switched his eyes towards Namjoon who just sighed and looked away.

"Can anybody tell me? What happened?" Jungkook retorted. They all looked towards Taehyung who was holding his head in his hands, eyes glued to the floor and shoulders drooped.

"Taehyung hyung, you tell me" he asked on which Taehyung raised his head only to face the maknae and his wife. They noticed his face was dull and he wasn't the same Taehyung, cheerful and jolly one.

"Ji..Jisoo.. she is pregnant" he said in a low but deep voice. Jungkook on the other hand snorted and ended up getting death glare from the boys and Eun Ae.

"Why hyung? How?" Jungkook blurted out but then Eun Ae prodded his forearm harshly with her index finger making him gulp. She threw a disgusted look at him for being so insensitive jerk.

"So oppa what are you going to do?" Eun Ae asked Taehyung whose face was now sulky.

"I will tell her to abo-" he was cut off by Jin who smacked his head with a newspaper.

"Aish... hyung that hurts" he mewled in pain and rubbed his head.

"Yah... how can you tell her to abort the child? It's yours and just because you guys didn't take any precautions that doesn't​ means you need to punish a tiny creature​" Jin answered with a fierce voice and the others noticed the rage side of the eldest hyung which they never saw.

"Jin oppa is right..." Eun Ae spoke finally after a minute of silence as nobody dared to say anything after Jin scolded Taehyung.

She turned to face Taehyung, "Taehyung oppa you need to face the truth now... aborting the child is not an option someday you will be marrying Jisoo and then you can make a family so why not now? How can you tell a mother to abort a child? oppa doesn't your heart clench at the sight thinking about how they will flush out your baby from her womb? don't you feel anything as a father as a man? Why to run away from the responsibilities when you both are old enough and mature to take care of the baby?" she paused and looked at the boys who were now just trying to consume her words while on the other hand there was Jungkook who was mentally smiling as he knew that now Eun Ae will be blessing the boys with her philosophy. Jungkook saw the expressions of the boys who were looking at her with amusement. They never thought Eun Ae can be so mature and outstanding speaker infact then never thought that she might be having a tongue.

"Oppa a first child is very important for a woman and you need to respect it...did you asked Jisoo what she want to do?" she asked Taehyung on which he licked his lips with hesitation before answering.

"Eun Ae, she...she wants this child..." he finally answered looking down.

"So what's your problem oppa?" she stared at him, her eyes shooting fire.

"I think i am not ready" Taehyung answered on which Namjoon stomped his feet in anger.

"Yah Yah... Careful my floor will break" Jin warned Namjoon and ended up getting a goofy smile in return.

"Taehyung hyung why aren't​ you ready?" Jungkook asked.

"I still need to take over my appa's business" he replied, his head was still down as he was unable to face the young ones and his hyungs.

"Oppa you have whole life for this... You can take over the business and still marry and spend your life. Have you thought about the baby? Are you ready to kill your own blood? Are you okay with that? You are talking about your financial status but have you thought that Jisoo being a woman she is ready physically and emotionally for giving birth to your baby. She just wants your support and love that's all" she tried trapping him in words.

"I...I.."

"Just marry her hyung" Jungkook interrupted and the others agreed.

"Do you think i should?"

"Oppa are you planning to leave her for other girl?"

"Aniya aniya... Eun Ae. I only love Jisoo..." he showed his teeth shyly.

"So marry her already..." she pressed her words.

"Yes.." all said in unison.

"Fine i think i'll propose her... She is in trauma now. She was calling me since morning after telling me about the news last night. I couldn't answer her as i was worried myself" he covered his face with his hands.

"Oppa seriously? how can you leave her alone? Right now she needs you... and you are here... God... Now go and propose her for marriage... She needs you. Buy her a cutest ring, her favourite bouquet and chocolates and tell her that you are ready to accept her with your baby and ask her for marriage" she spat, everybody saw how happy and excited she was. Unknowingly a smile was formed on their face and they couldn't control themselves from supporting her by encouraging Taehyung.

Taehyung grinned and got up from the couch. He knelt before her and grabbed her warm small hands in his. Eun Ae flinched a little as she felt his touch for the first time. Taehyung's eyes were beaming and giving undivided attention to her while Eun Ae was smiling nervously. Isn't​ it obvious? Who can be perfectly fine when a hottest guy is holding your hands and staring at you.

"Thanks Eun Ae... You made me realise that how coward i was... Thanks for everything" Taehyung said softly as he gazed at her. He got up and cupped her cheeks. Soon his lips landed on her forehead and he ran outside like crazy.

"I'll buy you a GUCCI bag Eun Ae" Taehyung shouted before closing the door behind him.

Eun Ae on the other hand was stunned by this sudden act, even if his lips were not in contact with her anymore she could still feel the wetness and a slight warmth on her forhead. Jimin looked away, gnashing his teeth as jealousy hit him real hard while Jungkook just cleared his throat and coughed, feeling restless.

"I guess i did a right job of calling Jungkook and specially Eun Ae..." Jin bragged about himself and patted his own back and the others chuckled.

"Yes they will look so cute together during their wedding. A perfect marriage" Eun Ae cooed while clapping and she drew her lower lip between her teeth as if she was imagining the couple in their wedding attire.

"We wished your marriage would have been the same Eun Ae" Namjoon interrupted her thoughts and she looked at him with confused stare.

"What do you mean oppa?"

"I mean, i wish your marriage wasn't a contract one... then life would have been easy for us too" Namjoon scoffed making her to choke on nothing. She averted her eyes towards Jungkook who was now trying to avoid her.

"Y..You know that?" she asked.

"It's fine... we know and we are keeping your secret safe just because your intentions are good or else we would have never supported you guys" Namjoon added. She faked smile as she was not able to respond. She looked at Jungkook who was giving her a blank stare.

~~~

"Yah Jungkook, you told them right?" she asked as soon as they stepped outside Jin's bungalow.

"I never told them. Jin hyung spill the truth that night in the influence of alcohol but i have explained them everything. Don't worry they are ready to help us" Jungkook assured her but still she was restless as she knew that when the number of people who knows the secret increases then probability of the truth being leaked also increases.

"Jin oppa was knowing from the start?"

"Yes...he was the one who helped me..." Jungkook completed and sat inside the car. They drove towards the condo.

Jungkook's P.O.V.

Everything is going well as per our plan. I know Eun Ae is somewhat sad because she needs to fake everything infront of her oppa and my family but i am happy that things between us are going well and we are now comfortable with each other just like friends would.

Taehyung hyung's crisis was wrapped up and now i can be rest assure as we both have hyungs by our side if anything happens. But now i have to face one more problem and that is of Jimin hyung's.

It's a relief that Jimin hyung never talked about Eun Ae after our small conversation in the kitchen due to his busy work schedules but what if he asked me to arrange a date with Eun Ae? Will Eun Ae like me doing this for her? Will she accept Jimin hyung?

I know she is a decent girl who is actually keen to marry someone who will love her and be loyal to her. I know Jimin hyung is not a kind of person who will betray or hurt anybody so should i actually help him to get Eun Ae?

I sighed and rested my back on couch, looking at the ceiling. I am not able to understand what should i do?

My phone beeped and i quickly leaned to grab my mobile from the table. I swapped my screen to check the number.

Private number.

Who must be that? i pursed my lips and opened the message.

Jungkook. Did you missed me?

-Choi Minji

"Shit..!" i cursed. I covered my mouth with shock.

"Choi Minji is back...!" i exclaimed.

Our memories flashed infront of my eyes. We were friends with benefits during our last year of college. The thing went well until she was married off to a wealthy family just for the sake of their company's amalgamation. I was kind of sad as she was the only one who was able to understand me after what happened with Saeron.

We weren't a 'thing' nor i liked her or something, it was just that we used each other for our physical pleasure.

"Fine... Minji i am waiting... I hope you are doing well with your husband" i muttered under breathe.

Another beep and i saw a new message from her private number.

Jungkook. I will be right back on 26th November.

-Choi Minji

"26th November? Shit! On the day of Taehyung hyung and Jisoo's marriage...?" i bit my tongue and raised my eyebrows thinking about how will i manage both the event.

My eyes landed on Taehyung hyung's wedding card which was kept on the table.

(A/N: yeah i actually made this card because i was bored af. Emma so lonely ass😂😂😂 Just replace Jisoo's name with mine after that😂😂😂 )
