HER BELOVED

7

"Leave them over there and these four in the big bedroom" Jin ordered coldly and let the few guards and Tina pass him and Nao. "Do you like it?" he asked, wrapping his arms around Nao's waist as she curiously looked around the huge entrance hall, which was a combination of a large living room and an open kitchen, with a large dining table between them, enough to seat at least ten people.

"This is yours?" Nao asked quietly and looked up at him, Jin gently pecked her lips and shook her head. "This is ours baby, we have three other buildings like this but this one is the best in my opinion" she formed an "O" with her mouth and Jin pushed her in. "The bedrooms are up there" he pointed to the stairs to the left. "And down the corridor there is an office from where I will work, a small gym, a sauna and a small bathroom" she looked at the corridor to the right.

"Pooh would be happy here" Nao's voice tearfully dropped to a barely audible whisper and her eyes watered. "Oh baby" Jin turned her to face him and cupped her face. "How about we get another kitten, even two or maybe a puppy?" Nao shook her head sadly and let Jin hug her again. "Pooh was special" Jin knew why Nao thought Pooh was special, Hoseok gave him to her at a time when she needed something pure and sure, something she could believe was real and the cat's love for her it had helped her overcome the pain of what she believed to be a ruined life.

"I'm sure Pooh would want you to give another kitten the love you had to give him, baby" Jin tried to convince her, even if she didn't want another kitten and it probably couldn't replace Pooh, at least she would feel better. "Let's do it this way, when we get settled, we'll go to a shelter and get any animal you want, so we'll honor Pooh's memory?" Nao looked at him uncertainly and a tear rolled down her cheek, but she nodded yes and smiled slightly.

"Never stop smiling at me baby or I'll die" he teased her slightly and started to tickle her. "Jin, stop!" she burst out laughing and squirmed in his arms. "Wait, is that laughter? I hear laughter, baby, can you hear it?" he continued until Nao finally forced herself to crouch down and curl up into a ball to stop him from tickling her.

Jin bent down and grabbed her by the knees, slinging her over his shoulder and with a hand on her waist, he continued to tickle her. "No, Jin, please stop!" Nao screamed breathlessly, clinging to the coat on his back. "Did you say something my love, I can't hear you over that strange laugh" he asked loudly as if he really didn't hear her and stepped forward towards the middle of the living room.

"No, please don't, Jin, I can't take it anymore!" Nao almost choked with laughter, squirming on his shoulder as he effortlessly held her with an arm around her knees. "Just look at him" Jin abruptly turned to the door and met a grinning Jimin and the curious gaze of Tia, his wife. Jimin and Tia had been living in the building for a long time, the same reason Jin and Namjoon had decided to gather everyone here, easier security. Especially now that Tia was already six months pregnant.

Jimin jealously guarded Tia from the society they lived in, although Jin just suspected that it wasn't for safety, but because he was insanely jealous. However, Tia didn't seem to mind and enjoyed her husband's attention. "Welcome to the building" Jin gently released Nao who was curiously trying to see their guests from under Jin's arm.

"Is that her?" Tia asked as she approached them, eyeing Nao with a smile. Jin nodded proudly and gently pushed his wife forward, who ended up in the warm embrace of the unknown woman. "Welcome to the family dear, I'm Tia, that idiot's wife" Tia hugged Nao tightly, who hesitated but uncertainly responded to her hug. "Nao" she answered quietly and smiled shyly. "God, Jin, she's adorable, I can't believe she's Namjoon's sister" Tia gave Nao a friendly wink, who blushed and looked down shyly.

"Whoah, did the cerberus let the minion go for a walk?" Namjoon moved closer and leaned down, kissing his sister on the forehead. "How are you, little one?" she smiled gently at him and he looked at Tia. "I'm not a minion!" she pretended to scold him and he bent down to hug her, then stroked her round belly with a smile. "Hey, get your paws off my wife!" Jimin growled and stood behind her, wrapping his arm around her stomach in a protective manner.
