~Y/N POV~

Honestly I can't believe my little Joy is one years old today.

So much has happened and the year had flown by but I suppose that's what happens when you're content with everything going on in your life.

Jungkook and I decided to take everyone out to eat to celebrate Joy's birthday and we hired a private room in the back with a large table for all of us to fit.

Joy is now one and that's a big step.

We placed her at the top of the table like the little princess she is as she sits in her high chair too busy devouring her ice cream to acknowledge anyone else. To be honest I think she's had enough attention for the day and I don't doubt she'll sleep well tonight.

I watch her eat using her plastic purple spoon and shove a whole pile of the cold substance into her mouth. Chuckling to myself I couldn't help but find the vanilla ice cream smeared across her mouth and chubby cheeks just adorable. Not to mention when her doe eyes lit up at the taste and hums delightfully. It's even more funny when her father sitting to her left does the exact same thing with his own ice cream.

Jungkook innocently eating away at his own desert and his sparkly doe eyes lighting up at the taste only to turn to his daughter and the two to share their equally adorable bunny smiles towards each other.

The conversation in the background forgotten about. Most definitely when Nayeon's name was mentioned. When her name comes up in conversation some how Jungkook and I have a habit of tuning that out.

Her name only came out because coincidently her court hearing for sentencing was this morning.

A year to the day she tried to kill me and Joy but instead almost killed Jungkook when he saved our lives.

From what I was told by my lawyer  this morning was that Nayeon was sentenced to thirty years in prison. Hopefully something bag happens to her while she's in there and never comes out. It's mean to think about but I can wish.

At least Jungkook's divorce after he came out of hospital was a quick and go deal. He was granted that very quickly given the circumstances and so every since then Jungkook has been my man fully.

That was six months ago now and Jungkook has been my fully devoted boyfriend.

Or has much as he can be.

At that thought I eye up his wheelchair he still uses.

It's a slow process but he's getting much better. The only problem he has is standing for too long or walking longer distances. When we're at home he's fine but when we're out that is a bigger issue, hence why he's in the wheel chair now.

As I eye up his chair behind him he catches my eyes and grabs my full attention like he always does. His bunny smile grows and he pulls a goofy face by sticking out his tongue and bulging his eyes almost out their sockets.

I laughed at his silly face but Joy laughed harder.

Her laughter caught the attention of everyone at the table.

Jimin,, Yoongi, Minho and Lisa were all on my side which left Taehyung, Namjoon, Jin and Hoseok on Jungkook's side of the table. That meant Yuna grabbed the opposite side of the table from Joy.

"I'm surprised she's not tired yet." Jimin

I heard him say out loud sitting next to me. I glanced at him nodding with a light hum with agreement but when I turn back to Joy she was in the middle of wiping her eyes using the back of her hand. Jungkook gently trying to pry her hands from her eyes since there was still ice cream all over her hands.

"JJ you still have ice cream on your hands." Jungkook

He told her in his soft voice and grabbed a napkin Taehyung passed to him and started to clean up her hands. I smiled at his voice. The words he now speaks are so well pronounced it took him a while to finally get his regular speech back. It was difficult for him but he's alright with it now.

I waited until he was done and picked Joy up out her high chair and brought her to my lap but positioned her so her front was pressed against my front and she could cuddle into me for her to sleep if she needs to.

"We should probably leave soon. Joys getting sleepy."

Jungkook nods at me and finishes the last of his ice cream.

I circled my hand over her back in soothing motion to relax her and I started to rock her side to side gently when conversation picked up around the table.

"So Jungkook did Mr Byun speak to you about coming back to the college?" Hoseok

My ears perked up at that as I was surprised to hear that. Jungkook didn't mention any of that to me but I caught sight of Yuna smirking at me which tells me she knew about it and for some reason it was kept a secret from me.

"He did but I wanted to speak to Y/n about it first." Jungkook

His head gestured to me across the table from him and I gasp lightly.

"Why?"

I had to ask him but Jungkook smiles softly at me and shrugs.

"Why not? You're my woman I would like your input on my final decision making. I was going to tell you tonight and see what you think on it." Jungkook

"Well what did Mr Byun offer you? Just your old job back?"

Jungkook chuckled, shaking his head and even Hoseok let out a short but sweet laugh. I glanced back and forth between the two while everyone else listened and watched out. Except Minho he was too busy playing a game on Yoongi's phone to care.

"Actually no. He offered me the head position of the psychology department and a bigger annual pay with family benefits." Jungkook

My jaw literally dropped.

This past year Jungkook thought he could never get a job never mind a even better job at his previous place of employment. He loved his job and now he's getting an upgrade.

"Well I think you should take it. Joy would benefit from your new position if it comes with family benefits."

Jungkook raises his brows and hums as he nods just to smirk when he glances towards Jimin and Yoongi and then to Namjoon, Jin and Taehyung beside him.

"Yeah sure. Joy would benefit from it." Jungkook

I frowned because of his cocky tone and shot a confused look to Lisa and Yuna. Even Hoseok frowned, scratching at the top of his head just as confused as us girls.

"Okay am I missing something? Why does it look like you guys know something we don't?" Hoseok

Pointing to all the other men in the room.

Yoongi shook his head, pressing his finger to his lips while Jimin and Taehyung laughed at his confused state and Namjoon chuckled also shaking his head. Jin however put his hand over Hoseok's mouth and whispered something in his ear.

I watched on as Hoseok's eyes bulged out his head but when Yoongi threw a bread roll to his face Hoseok's face dropped and shot a glare to Yoongi after Jin let go of Hoseok's mouth.

"Do not tell a soul." Yoongi

"I wont! God, I can keep secrets." Hoseok

Jungkook scoffing caught the attention of everyone.

"You guys are the worse. Now Y/n thinks something is up." Jungkook

Pouting in his chair Jungkook leans back crossing his arms over his chest and shoots a glare towards all our friends.

"Hey don't look at me I didn't say anything." Taehyung

"Me neither." Namjoon

I smiled just as the bickering started around the table, the main source of the bickering was Jungkook but I didn't care. I instead looked down at my little bundle sleeping in my arms and snoozing away.

Life really couldn't get any better than this.
