I could feel my legs trembling, but I tried to to keep my face calm. I can feel Jungkook squeeze my hand in reassurance, and I give him a tight smile. He's been so sweet since he yelled at me in the cafe. I know he didn't mean the words he used, but they still hurt me. I step out of the car to face a large home I've never been to before. Sweat has started to accumulate on my back, and the breeze makes me shiver.

"It's going to be fine Love. My Mom loves you."

I nod, but don't feel like I can form a coherent thought. Jungkook smiles and takes my hand, dragging me towards the door. Before we even reach, it's thrown open and a teary eyed Mrs. Jeon appears. She looks from Jungkook to me and back again. Not letting go of my hand, Jungkook goes to his Mom and embraces her with his free arm. A small sob escapes from her, and Jungkook just speaks some calming words to her while bringing us both inside.

Once we're all fully inside, and Mrs. Jeon had calmed down some, she turned to look at me. I suddenly felt small, as she was staring me down. I bowed to her respectfully, and greeted her formally. I felt hands pull me up and forward, and I find myself wrapped in a tight embrace.

"Don't bow to me child..."

"I am so sorry for everything Mrs. Jeon... I wish" "Don't apologize. You only did what you had to do. You're very brave."

I look up to see her smiling face, and she kisses my cheeks. I hear Jungkook chuckling at my bewildered face. He places a hand on my back to lean in and whisper to me. "why do you always think people are mad at you?" I don't say anything, and just shrug my shoulders.

"Come... Let's sit and have some tea." Mrs. Jeon says while walking towards the living room. I follow slowly, taking in my surroundings. The house is beautiful and modern. I freeze when I see the large picture of Jungkook and Aera's wedding day. It's the picture of a family... Jungkook, Aera, and Olivia... They all have bright smiles on their faces, and I feel my heart break again.

Two strong arms wrap around me from behind, and he puts his head on my shoulder. I place my hands on his and look down to not have to see the thing that is tearing me apart. He turns me around to hug me to him, and he sighs trying to find words that will comfort me. There aren't any right now so I just cling onto him, and inhale his scent to calm myself.

"It was all fake Sophia-ah... I was miserable that day. I didn't want any of it, but I couldn't refuse... I'm sorry."

The tears are falling now, and I grip his shirt tightly. He runs his hands through my hair and up and down my back. I hate that I'm always the cause of his unhappiness. No matter what he says, I know that is the truth. He cups my face tilting it to make me look up. Landing a sweet kiss on my lips, he smiles at me.

"No more tears. Let's drink some tea, and visit with Mom."

Nodding weakly, I let him drag me to the living room. Mrs. Jeon has poured the tea, and I take one with shaking hands. I try very hard to control my emotions, but I'm tired and overwhelmed. Tears continue to leak out of my eyes, but I chew on my lip to try to control my nerves.

"Sophia... You don't know how happy I am too see you. You look beautiful." Mrs. Jeon says with a wide smile. I feel my cheeks heat up, but return her smile.

"Thank you for saying so. I regret alot, but I'm happy to be here now."

"Jungkook tells me that you want to wait to meet Olivia. Are you sure? She's going to be thrilled."

A ball of nerves tightens in my stomach at the thought of seeing her for the first time. I set my mug down to wipe my sweaty palms on my pants.

"I just thought it would be a good idea for him to talk to her, and explain things before just showing myself to her..."
