Jin had been sleeping on the sofa, wrapped in Mrs. Min's arms. Jungkook was worried that something might happen to Jin and to their baby because Jin cried too much.

"I will carry him to our bedroom so you can rest. Your arms might get hurt," Jungkook offered as Jin had been in that position for almost two hours.

Mrs. Min smiled, appreciating the offer. "No, it's okay. I wanted to hug him like this. He cried a lot earlier."

Jungkook nodded. Worry still apparent in his face. He sat on the nearby chair and stared at Jin who was fast asleep, "I was worried earlier, but I know he's happy and that's more important. He rarely cries. He's always happy."

Mrs. Min couldn't agree more. She had been mentoring Jin when he was still attending Yoongi's class. And she witnessed how jolly and talkative Jin could be. At first, she was afraid Jin might get angry that she abandoned him as a baby. But after Jungkook reassured him that Jin is not that type of person, she felt relieved. "Thank you, Jungkook."

Jungkook smiled shyly, he could not look straight in Mrs. Min's eyes. "I'm not sure if I am worthy of your gratitude, Mrs. Min."

Mrs. Min smiled. Based on Jungkook's reaction, she knew Jungkook was holding in his emotions. "I know, you don't need to worry. Remember, your mom called me because she's worried your father might find out? She already had a hint that you just hired my son to be your husband."

Jungkook wasn't surprised, but it made him more embarrassed than before. He started to fidget with his fingers. He couldn't look at Jin's mom out of guilt and shame. "I'm really sorry. I have no right to defend myself. It's all true. They were all about my poor decisions."

Mrs. Min shook her head and gave Jungkook a reassuring smile, "You know, I don't want to tolerate such behavior, but on the other hand, I have no right to get mad at you because I've been there before.

It's hard, right? Being forced to marry someone just to earn the company. I've been there. It was painful, confusing, frustrating, all the negative feelings. I still don't get it. Our difference, you have a choice to marry who you want, but me, I didn't have that choice. I'm glad that Yoongi's father is a very kind man. We had Yoongi out of convenience. After that, we're just like friends living under the same roof. It was odd, but still, I'm thankful.

I regret that I wasn't able to carry Jin in my arms when he's still a baby. I always wonder how he's doing. I wanted to be with him so badly I thought I'll go crazy. But then, I was firm that I should protect him. If my father learned where he was, he probably didn't make it.

I know you regret what happened. But what's important is the present. What's important is you learn from your mistakes and wrong decisions. And that, you see the beauty in my son and fell in love with him truly instead of just marrying him because your father told you to. I am happy that you are firm with your decision to marry for love and not for convenience.

It doesn't matter how and that he's pregnant now. What's important is that you will be a great partner to him and father to your child in the future."

Jungkook didn't realize that he was crying. Everything that Mrs. Min said hit him hard. His mom never said anything like that before. Even his father. They were all about money and power.
