"Seokjin.." she ran towards him.

Jin quickly got up from the seat only to lend his embrace for her. She hugged him tighter than ever. The people in the restaurant were gawking at them but the couple was in their own world. The staff gulped after watching their own boss who was hugging a girl. It was the first time they were showing affection for each other in public.

"What happened? Did you?" Jin asked hurriedly.

"Yes Seokjin. I am selected..!! Whoa i am finally a junior gynaecologist at Seoul National University Hospital. That's my dream hospital." She chimed and hugged him again. Jin patted and kissed her head. He was happy because she had finally got what she was looking for.

"..Great Mizuki..i am happy for you.." he said proudly, "And now i am going to treat my girlfriend." he said and she blushed shyly. Jin was equally happy for her, her smile was all it matters to him now, "Wait for me." he whispered and she nodded before walking away.

When she left, Jin quickly dialed a number.

"Hello. Thank you for doing the favor."

"It's fine hyung anything for you. Manipulating the dean of Seoul National University Hospital is not a big deal. So just chill."

"Yeah but still you-"

"Aish.. hyung.. a huge fund goes to them from our company so that's not a big deal."

"Yeah..i know and that was the reason i asked for help. Well thank you.. i owe you a favor Jungkook."

"Yeah.. can i ask one?"

"Sure..!!"

"Stop teaching my daughter your weird habits she is going out of my hand."

Jin guffawed, "….that isn't possible kook-ah.."

"Aish.. hyung now get married already and make babies and teach them your weird habits..."

"Yeah.. where are your manners? Is this the way to talk with elders?"

"Whatever…"

He hung the call and Jin walked towards his special spot where Mizuki was waiting for him. She flashed a smile when she saw Jin walking towards the table. Jin took his seat infront of her.

"So what will you eat?" he asked, planting his elbows on the table top he gazed at her. She chuckled.

"Yah.. waeyo? Why are you staring at me?" she covered her face shyly.

"Aww.. shy?" Jin guffawed and earned her groan, "Let me order it myself so i think-"

"Seokjin." a deep voice invaded the atmosphere and they raised their head to see an old man standing at a distance from their table. Jin was confused, his eyes targeted on that old man who was well dressed wearing a tailored and ironed suit. Mizuki instantly recognised him, he was Mr. Kim, Jin's dad. She saw his photo that day in the newspaper.

"Seokjin i-" His eyes switched from Jin towards Mizuki. Jin quickly got up from his seat and Mizuki followed him too.

"Appa..you.."

"Who is she? Your friend?" he asked on which Jin nodded in agreement. He wasn't interested in giving the details.

"Good.." he said and after taking a brief look at Mizuki who was confused about his existence, he turned his head towards Jin.

"Jin.. i am here to ask for something."

Jin sighed, his father was always a self-centered person who would think about his own good than others and that was the reason Jin left his house when his father rejected his thought of being a restaurateur.

"What favor?"

"..Seokjin.. i know i have never supported you nor i was there when you needed someone to support you but then today i am here now..."

"Get to the point appa." he said with rough tone.

"Seokjin.. tomorrow we are having a party at 'our' house which you left few years ago and i want you to be a part of it. I want to introduce you to my business partners and my friends. I want you to display your skills by providing snacks and dinner to my guests... so will you come?" he raised his eyebrow forming a notch. For a moment Jin was happy because after so many years his father was here at his doorstep and the best part was, he was ready to accept Jin as a family. Jin looked at Mizuki who just had a pleasant smile on her face which meant she wanted Jin to go for it.

Jin looked back at him, his father was aging. He needed his son, he wanted his son to be with him in this lonely time. Jin knew, money doesn't matters, it doesn't matters whether you are rich or poor until unless you don't have someone who can be yours fully, to share the moments of joy, to cry with you.

"Please." his appa insisted again.

"Okay." Jin smiled and that's when his father walked towards him and hugged him tighter. Mizuki was happy after seeing a reunion of a father and son after so many years.

"Good." he released Jin, "Also bring her too." he said as he looked at Mizuki. Mizuki bowed in respect. After taking a brief look at Jin, he left.

"Wow.. Seokjin. Congrats." Mizuki patted his forearm and he just flashed a smile at her.

"You are coming right?" he asked and without hesitation Mizuki said 'yes'.

🌠

She walked by his side, clutching onto his forearm after she got down from the car. Her eyes on the mansion, Kim's mansion.

"Whoa.. so you use to stay here?" she asked as she tried consuming the huge mansion with her bambi eyes.

Jin looked at her, "Yeah." he smiled at her reaction, he was loving the way she was amused.

"You must have felt like a prince isn't it?"

"Aniyo.." he chuckled, "I use to feel like a lonely handsome man." She instantly looked at him.

"Aye.." she slapped his forearm, "Cheesy-" she tripped and was about to fall but then he held her on time.

"Careful.." he supported her, "You should have wore something comfortable. Why to wear such high heels?" he spared a glance at her heels. She was very much excited for the party and due to that, she thought of trying her best outfit and that was, a fishcut dress and pencil heels. Jin was totally against it but then she shushed him saying that they are going for a upper class party.

"Aish... That was not my mistake." she said.

"Oh.. was i too rough in the morning?" Jin blurted with a notorious tone and that's when he received another smack from her.

"You should keep your mouth tight shut." she scolded him but internally she was blushing.

"Arraseo.." Jin smirked and then they entered. The house staff recognised him. They started flashing smile and welcoming him while Mizuki was busy gawking and enjoying the view. She was mesmerised by the interior, the ceiling was so high that for a moment she thought it was equivalent to sky.

"Come with me." Jin took her towards the area where the eatables were placed, "This is made by our finest cook." he said and handed her the plate, "Taste some." he said.

"Whoa-"

"Ladies and Gentlemen." They both looked towards the stage where Jin's father, Mr. Kim was standing. The red velvety stage was looking stunning and on the top of that his father was looking dapper in the royal blue suit.

"Let's go." she placed the plate on the table and Jin just nodded, following her. They walked towards the place where the crowd was gathered.

"Your father looks great." she said.

"I know. After all he is my father." Jin nudged her shoulder.

"Okay.. worldwide handsome." she chimed.

"I am glad that you all have gathered over here to celebrate my success. But do you know? What is special about today's evening?"

"No." the crowd shouted and Mizuki squeezed his arm, "He is talking about you." she whispered.

"How was the food?" he asked and the crowd cheered.

"Well… i wanna introduce a person here, a very close person." his father said and the people started shouting, they enthusiastically gawked at him, "Seokjin please come." he looked towards Jin and then people standing turned their head towards Jin, Mizuki dazed at sight. She had their eyes on her and Jin.

"Go.." she muttered and pushed him. Jin tripped a little but then he slowly walked towards the stage. His father had a constant but sincere smile on his face. Mizuki was feeling happy, today was the day when a family will be reunited again. A father and a son. Jin stood beside his father. The father and son was looking handsome than ever. Mizuki just realised from where Jin got those facial characteristics.

He wrapped his arms around Jin, "He is my son and the best part is, he is a restaurateur. He is the person behind today's dinner and snacks." his father declared and the crowd applauded. Jin could clearly see a smile on her face that made him happy.

"But this is not the only thing which i wanna share." Mr. Kim declared, the crowd instantly paused, their eyes were on the stage. Jin looked at his father. His father placed his hands on the mic-stand, "Today i wanna introduce one more person and that is.." he paused. Jin instantly looked towards Mizuki only to see her shocked face. Her eyes popped out, she was a bit shy as if she wasn't ready for this but internally she was smiling.

"And she is… Park Yejin."

Her face dropped even Jin was looking blankly at his father and the very next moment he saw a girl wearing a red gown walking towards the stage. The girl was looking beautiful, everybody was looking at her but Mizuki, she had a deadpan expression on her face. The girl stood beside Mr. Kim after flashing a smile at Jin.

"Meet Park Yejin.. she is my soon to be daughter-in-law."

A single sentences was enough to shatter​ her whole world. Tears started welling in her eyes.

"Appa.." Jin shrieked, as he looked at his dad.

"One second." Mr. Kim excused the crowd and turned to face him.

"What happened Seokjin?"

"Appa, how can you? You never asked me before declaring this news?"

"Seokjin this is a good relationship. You are a restaurateur while Yejin, she is a beautiful lady who is the heiress of one of the most influential business. After marrying you, she can manage our business too. And this-"

"…enough dad. You are thinking about your business but what about me? I am not interested to marry someone just because that girl will be managing my business and to be honest, i am not interested in your business. I was here thinking that you will be accepting me as a family but this? I was wrong! I was so fucking wrong...! You know what dad? Bye.. be happy with your money and assets." Jin turned towards the crowd. His eyes searching for Mizuki but then he noticed that Mizuki was nowhere seen.

"Shit.." he muttered and got down from the stage. He went towards the entrance. His heart clenched thinking about Mizuki, how bad she must have felt.

He walked outside, his eyes searching for Mizuki.

"Did you saw a girl who was with me?" he asked the doorkeeper.

"Yes, ma'am went towards the gate." he replied.

"Thank you." Jin ran towards the gate, the path was lighted, his eyes gazing towards the extreme end and that's when he saw Mizuki.

"Mizuki.." he called her and for a moment she turned her head but then resumed walking. Jin sighed, she was angry and bit heart-broken but it was not his mistake. Jin started running, he just wanted to tell her about what happened earlier. He just wanted Mizuki in his life and no one. Mizuki tried her best to walk faster but in that whole scenario she tripped and fell due to her heels.

"Shit.." Jin ran towards her and squatted. He touched her ankle which she was rubbing in pain, 'Paboya.. why-"

"Stop it Seokjin." she yelped at him, her eyes reddened, tears were flowing from her eyes.

"Mizu-"

"Stop showing sympathy. I can handle myself." she shrieked, her voice groggy. Tears weren't stopping. Jin forcefully held her ankle and started massaging.

"Stop Seokjin.. just go to your soon to be wife." she winced when he pressed a certain point.

"I.am." Jin said, "I am with my soon to be wife." he replied firmly and that's when her heart went gaga over his statement. Jin stared at her misty eyes and then his hand went slowly towards her cheeks, he wiped her tears, "I am with my soon to be wife." he declared and the very next moment he was kissing her forehead.

Jin smiled when he saw her closed eyes, he knew how to control her senses. He got up and carried her as if she was a precious piece of art.

And that was the night she realised that, no matter whatever happens Jin will never let her go.

🌠

It was ages since she last talked with Jin. Jin was mostly out of town as he was planning to expand his restaurant in different cities of Korea. Mizuki was enjoying her new job and was learning new things but she was worried about her relationship with Jin. Mostly Jin would text her and that their conversation would revolve around his business and her job. She was worried a bit because the couple was hardly getting enough time for themselves.

"He called?" Lizzy sat next to her. Mizuki raised her head from her mobile, she was reading their old conversations.

"No." she sighed.

"Is he cheating?" Lizzy blurted but then received a slap on her thigh, "Ouch.. girl that hurts." she squealed.

"Seokjin can never cheat on anyone."

"Oh already taking his side? Great. But tell me.. did he proposed for marriage after that day?"

Mizuki gawked at her, he did called Mizuki his soon to be wife that day but then he never talked about that topic. Mizuki shook her head.

"Is he falling out of love Mizuki?"

"Of course not Lizzy.. he won-"

Lizzy cuts her off, "Aye, he was never in a relationship earlier. He must be feeling burdened. He must have felt that his freedom is in trouble so he must be taking space." Lizzy completed.

Mizuki surely knew that Jin won't cheat nor he would fall out of love. No matter how badly her heart was trying to be positive but her brain was analysing its own thing.

She was just about to speak and that's when her phone rang. Her eyes twinkled when she saw the caller's name.

"It's from Seokjin." she showed her and received the call.

"Hello Seokjin i missed-"

"Mizuki, what are you doing tonight?"

"Eh? Tonight? Why?"

"We need to meet. I want to tell you something."

His tone was serious, "What?"

"Let's meet today at my house. Okay?"

"Aa..yeah.."

"Okay then.. cya.."

"Seokjin but… Hello..? Hello?"

"What happened?" Lizzy looked at her, she noticed how blank her face was.

"Seokjin..he was behaving weird.. he called me to meet him.. tonight. He was serious. He wanted to tell something."

"Oh..Mizuki.." Lizzy placed her hand on her shoulder, "Is he breaking up?"

"Aniyo .he cannot do that..! But why are you speaking such nonsense? Don't you have any work? Now go..!!" Mizuki got up from the couch, stomping her feet she walked inside.

🌠

"Seokjin." she called him softly. Mizuki wasn't that stupid to ignore his blank stare from the time he opened the door for her. He did not even hugged her nor he kissed her. They were meeting after so many days yet Jin wasn't excited after seeing her.

"Seokjin.." she called him again. Her heart was yelling trepidation. She placed her bag on the couch, "Seokjin." she called him and this time she grasped his wrist harshly, "Why are you ignoring me? Why have you called me here?" she shrieked.

"Mizuki…i wanna tell you something." Jin looked down and then at her, his eyes lacked the light which would always there. He looked pale.

"What? Yah you are scaring me." she held his forearms.

"Mizuki.. let's.. stop here.." he said and stared at her for moment.

"What?" Mizuki was shocked, her eyes searching for the love which she noticed was missing, "Seokjin are you alright? Are you on drug? Aye.." she slightly hit his forearm, "You are joking right?" her eyes turned misty. She just hoped that he must be joking.

"Mizuki i mean it what i said. Let's just stop here.. we can't be girlfriend and boyfriend anymore…" Jin said.

"Yah.." she wiped those sudden tears which ran down her cheeks, "Paboya… why? Are you marrying that Park Yejin? Are yo.." her voice cracked, she felt cheated. Lizzy was right, she thought. Her face turned red with anger and resentment. Infront of her was the man who was her everything. He was the reason behind her smile, her motive of living. She felt weird, "Why?" weak punches landed on his chest. She tried being strong and harsh but it wasn't helping instead she was feeling worn out.

"You cheat ..i hate you… why did you do this…?" she squeaked.

"Mizuki.."

"Shut up!! I said shup up!! You liar..! All men are same.. you played with me. I hate you." she wiped her tears and after taking a brief look at him, she turned and started walking. She just took few steps but then was pulled in a backhug, "Seokjin-"

"Yah.. paboya.. i just said that we can't be girlfriend and boyfriend anymore but we can be husband and wife right?" he crushed her with his bear hug.

"Wha..what?" Mizuki was out of words. Her brain processed the words which he just said. Jin smiled and placed his chin on her shoulder, his cheek touching her wet ones, "Mizuki-chan…aishiteru (I love you)…" he said softly, his breathe kissing her skin. She blushed, her lips curved upward to form a smile. She blushed.

"Yah Seokjin you-"

"Kekkon shite kudasai?" (Will you marry me?)

Her heart did summersaults. She was sweating. His chest touching her back. She was having a hard time. She wanted his love for her, she wanted to be his wife, she wanted Jin to propose her but then today when it happened, Mizuki wasn't able to believe.

Jin released her and spun her around, he placed his finger under her chin and raised her head.

"You didn't answered my question."

"Which?" She chewed her lip.

"Oh playing dumb huh? No worries.. let me ask again." Jin dug his hand inside his pocket while he knelt down. He extended his hand towards her which had a ring, "Kekkon shite kudasai Mizuki-chan?" he proposed her.

Mizuki covered her mouth, "Yes.." she nodded, words weren't coming from her mouth. Jin smiled and got up. He slid the ring in her ring finger and leaned towards her ear, "Aishiteru Mizuki-chan.." he whispered and she blushed, wiping those tears which were no longer tears of resentment.

Mizuki smiled, "Saranghaeyo Seokjin-shi.." she muttered.

"Congrats…" Mizuki flinched due to the sudden appearance of people. She turned only to see some men and two female, out of which she recognised Namjoon, Eun Ae and Jungkook.

"Mizuki.." Yoonji came running towards her.

"Yoonji.." she knelt down to reach her height. Yoonji kissed her cheeks.

"Congrats Mizuki..." she hugged her.

"Thank you."

"Aww.." they all said in unison. Mizuki released her as now it was time to meet others.

"Mizuki, they are my friends." Jin said, "You know Namjoon, Yoonji's parents- Eun Ae and Jungkook."

"Yes i know." she flashed a smile at them.

"Now let me introduce my new friends, this is Jimin. He is Taehyung and she is his wife, Jisoo." Taehyung, Jimin and Jisoo smiled at her.

"Hello."
