Armani had just gotten out of the shower, changing into something comfy for the evening. It just being a baggy Sailor Moon t-shirt and pink lace panties under.
Her and Jimin were going to have there first facetime call together so she wanted to look decent but comfy. She didn't have a lot of shame in how she looked around people, just depended on the person.

Jada was out at the grocery store getting more food and snacks for the house, it suprised Mani since she never takes responsibility in shopping for the apartment. But, she didn't complain and let her go anyway.
She sat in her living room, reading to distract her from her nerves.
She didn't know she was freaking out, she had talked to him in person before.

"Maybe I should call first", she mumbled, looking at her phone with anxious eyes. She would call first, but what if she seemed desperate to talk to him?".
"No no I'll just wait", she told herself. Just like that, her phone began to ring. She flinched a bit, seeing his name appear with pink heart emoji next to it.
She picked up her phone, swiping right on the screen to accept the call.

When she accepted it, it looked as if he had just gotten out of the shower. His hair was damp, some of it covering his eyes. He looked back at her with a little smile, happy to see she answered. Talkimg to her was something he looked foward to all day.
"Hey", he greeted first. She could hear him say that for hours and never get tired of it.

"Hi, Jimin-ah. I um....I've been looking forward to talking to you".
"God, me too. Especially after the fucking day I had", he mumbled, sighing as he ran his fingers through his black hair.
"Did something happen?"
"It's just our boss, nothing is enough for him and it kind of pisses me off", Mani hummed, listening to him rant about his stressful day.
Jimin liked how she just listened and let him talk. One thing Si-hoon did a lot in their relationship was sometimes interrupt him or talk over him. It irritated him but he never said anything.

"Sorry I'm being selfish as hell and never asked how your day was. There's really nobody else here to vent to, besides Aera but all she would do is stare at me", he chuckled. Armani laughed herself, knowing he was probably right.
"I hope things work out, dealing with people like is annoying believe me. Just don't overwork yourself, it's not healthy", she advised softly.

"I'll try", he sighed once more bit grinned soon after. "But enough about me, how was your day?".
The conversation went on from there. They talked on life, future plans, their love life, favorite movies, you name it. Turns out, they had a lot in common to talk about. He actually enjoyed watching Criminal Minds himself, finding the process of how they worked murder cases interesting.

"So this entire time, you guys knew I was Tae's sister?".
"Yea, trust me I did feel bad that you didn't know but he said he wanted to wait for the right time for you to meet us. But him being your brother we understood", he did have a point. She felt overwhelemed just seeing them when she got into the limo the night before.

"Hey Jimin-ah....can I ask you something? You don't have to asnwer if it's too personal", Jimin hummed, wanting her to go on.

"Is Aera's eomma still around? I just never see her so I was just wondering", Mani knew it wasn't really her business to know but she never saw her mom around, so she thought maybe it wouldn't hurt to ask. Obviously if it wasn't too triggering to asnwer of course.
"W-Well she uh...she left a few days after Aera was born. She didn't say where she was going or even said she was gonna leave in the first place. She just left. It felt like she didn't even care about", he stopped mid-sentence, his eyes welding with tears. He toke a breath, feeling so pathetic for not being able to talk about this without bursting into tears.

"A-About leaving her child, l-like she never wanted to have her in the first place. And I'm just so glad she left her with me because I don't know what I would have done, not being able to see my child would have killed me", he sniffled, rocking Aera slowly in his arms. Armani felt tears in her own eyes. She felt sad but also guilty. If it was going to end like this she wouldn't ask in the first place.
But also because she didn't realize till now how hard this had been on him, even being a single father alone.

"I-I'm so sorry Jimin-ah, this honestly isn't any of my buisness I shouldn't of asked. This has to be really hard to deal with, and I kind of know how it feels. Before Tae's eomma adopted me, I was told my parents weren't ready to have me and even thought about aborting me. But they didn't and gave me away.

I've grown to undsrstand but I would've still loved to see who my real parents looked like. I know how it feels to be left, and it doesn't feel good. But I'm always here if you need me, even though we haven't known each for that long. If you ever need someone to talk to or need me to watch Aera at anytime I'll be more than happy to. As long as it's in the noon or evening at least", she chuckled, remembering she still had college as an importance in her life.

"Really? You would do that? You really don't have to she can be hard to take care of. And talking to me can turn into an emotional mess believe me", he laughed a bit, wiping his still wet tears away.
"Really Jimin-ah, you can't always do things on your own. That's why you have her uncles around, and now you have me. Honestly, she's a sweetheart and I wouldn't mind one bit taking care of her", Mani smiles sweetly.

Jimin grinned, more tears leaving his eyes.
He's never met or talked to such a sweet woman. Maybe Si-hoon but it sometimes felt fake when she showed affection, even during the times they were intimate with each other.

"Dada", Aera spoke, her hands squeezing Jimin's cheeks but she was really trying to wipe away his tears. He chuckled at her actions, realizing what she was trying to do.
"Aww, thank you baby. Such a sweet baby girl for daddy huh?", he cooed, giving her kissing all over her face. A fit of cute giggles left her mouth. Mani smiled fondly at the sight.
"Hey um, maybe after I get home from work tomorrow you could come over? Aera would love to see you again".

"Oh, s-sure I'd like that", the sudden invitation toke her by suprise. Jada always told her being invited over to a guys house was like winning an Oscar. But, Mani wasn't going to turn down the offer though.

"God I can't wait".
