Third Person POV

Around 7:30 both Jaehyun and Eun-ae reached Taehyung's apartment, since Tae already told Jaehyun that he won't be able to join them bcz he has work and so the Jeons decided to go there a little early as both of them wanted to see Taehyung, especially Eun-ae since she didn't see him.
Both Jaehyun and Eun-ae were nervous for some reason, they weren't nervous to meet Mrs. Kim though, they were nervous to meet Taehyung cuz he doesn't seem like a person who would enjoy affection. Eun-ae hesitantly rang the bell after bantering with her husband about who would ring the bell and finally after 7 rounds of stone-paper, Eun-ae rang the bell, since she lost to Jaehyun who did a little victory dance at that and immediately fixed his posture the moment he heard a click sound. Jaehyun nervously held his wife's hand and Eun-ae could feel Jaehyun's palm sweating but before she could say something the door opened and there stood Taehyung in black hoodie and grey sweatpant and this time Taehyung was not wearing any mask.
"Please come inside" Taehyung politely bowed and welcomed them in but the couple didn't move an inch. Taehyung looked at them, confused but the next moment he knew he was evolved in a tight hug by none other then Eun-ae and he stiffened, it's been almost a decade that someone hugged him affectionately. Jaehyun, was about to pull Eun-ae away from Taehyung when Taehyung unconsciously hugged Eun-ae back, and jaehyun stared at him dumbfounded, he didn't expect Taehyung to return the hug cuz even if Taehyung was quit open in the texts but he didn't expect Taehyung to be fond of affection and what shocked him more was the tear rolling down Taehyung's cheeks.
Finally, when Eun-ae pulled away from Taehyung she directly looked into his eyes and smiled politely and Taehyung could easily identify her as Jungkook's mother because of her smile. "Hi" She greeted Taehyung with a beautiful smile adorning her face, which is same as Jungkook's. Taehyung didn't waste a second before greeting her back with a small hi back.
"You look so beautiful and handsome as well, and Kook wasn't lying when he said you have beautiful eyes, they are just like Yeri, so pretty" Eun-ae breathed out and Taehyung smiled at her, feeling a bit shy after receiving so many compliments.
Eun-ae was caressing Taehyung's cheeks when his grandma came out of the kitchen, calling put for Taehyung. "Tae, did they arrive yet?" Taehyung moved away from Eun-ae's touch and went near his nana to support her as he knew her legs might hurt a by now, she has been in the kitchen for the longest time possible, just to prepare the couple's favorite meal. Jaehyun didn't waste a second before walking towards her and evolving her in a tight hug and breathed out "eomma, I missed you" and his voice was  a bit shaky which meant he was holding back his tears. But, Mrs. Kim didn't try to hold back her tears, she broke down into sobs the moment Jaehyun uttered those words, she didn't pull away from the hug, after all she missed Jaehyun, she always considered Jaehyun and Eun-ae as her own children and she maybe loved Jaehyun a bit more than her own daughter and both Yeri and Eun-ae knew that so it wasn't a surprise to Eun-ae to see the duo crying their heart out in each other's embrace.
"Eomma, all the love for Jae? What about me then? What about Eun?" Eun-ae said, tears flowing down her own cheeks. It's been years since she last saw Mrs. Kim, how can she not missed her? If anyone cared about her more than her family than it would be Mrs. Kim and leaving that person in the past wasn't easy for Eun-ae but now that they finally got her back in their life, there's no way she's letting her go.
"Yes, she loves me more. Shut up and let us be" Jaehyun said and Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle at that, he was already loving the company of these two and he was more than sure about his grandma's safety now.
Finally Mrs Kim let go of Jaehyun and went towards Eun-ae and embraced her as well and said "don't listen to this idiot, I love you both" and Eun-ae nodded, not trusting her voice enough to speak.
Taehyung felt giddy, maybe because he saw how happy his nana looked after meeting the couple, or maybe because he   had someone else, other than his nana and hyung whom he can finally trust with all. "Nana, I have to leave, it's almost 8, I'll see you tonight yeah? I love you" and with a small forehead peck Taehyung left to get his mask and the small bag pack which he always carries, since he tries to study a bit while sitting at the reception.
"Taehyung? Can I come in?" Taehyung looked back and saw Eun-ae standing near the door and Taehyung definitely didn't expect her to come visit him, he thought they were here for his nana but for some reason he feels the warmth through Eun-ae.
"Hi, hope I'm not disturbing you" Eun-ae said with that same smile and keeps reminding Taehyung of a certain someone. Taehyung nodded negativity at that said "oh no, you're not, please come in" Taehyung politely motioned her towards his bed but his bed was a mess since he was working on his art project, so the canvas was sitting right next to his bed and paint brushes all over the bed and the palette sitting on top of his pillow while few of his clothes are scattered here and there. Eun-ae chuckled at that and Taehyung scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment. Eun-ae walked upto him and handed him over a white box, which Taehyung didn't notice that she was carrying, he looked upto to Eun-ae, confused and eun-ae gestured him to open the box. Taehyung curiously opened the box as fast as he could and when finally sees it, he looks at her with shock evident in his eyes.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. Kook told me you love art so i thought of bringing this for you. You remember, when you and Kook used to okay together and i would always bring something or the other for you and you would tease the hell out of Kook cuz I didn't get him anything but got you presents....it was such a great time" Eun-ae said and Taehyung was still processing this cuz he hardly receives gifts, who would give him gifts, when he hardly has anyone and the gift Eun-ae gave him was just perfect and he had been meaning to buy one for a long time since it's almost finished. Eun-ae got him a set of 56 Gouache colour and he couldn't be more thankful for this so he just got up from his bed and hugged her and she got startled at first since this hug was unexpected but she hugged him back almost immediately.
"Aunty, I've to go or else I'll be late for my shift. Bye, hope to see you soon" and with that Taehyung ran out of the room, bidding a last goodbye to his nana and Jaehyun.
"This boy works like a robot" Mrs Kim said, while serving the couple and herself the dinner. It was past 9 already and after spending about an hour talking, they decided to have their dinner when Eun-ae asked about how Taehyung has been dealing with everything since Mrs Kim already told the couple everything related to her health and even if it broke the couple's heart they still assured Mrs Kim that they'll do their best to cure her.
"He doesn't take his meals properly and he overworks himself a lot. I know very well I failed as a grandma, I couldn't provide him the life he deserves and now he's wasting his youth while working like a maniac to deal with everything" Mrs Kim said with sadness evident in her voice. "Eomma, you have raised a perfect man. You know what he said to me today when we were texting? He said, he does everything for you because he loves you a lot and you're anything but his responsibility, he does everything for you out of love" Jaehyun said, remembering his chat with Taehyung about this and Mrs Kim smiled at that and added "yeah, that's so like him. Idiot doesn't even take care of himself properly". "eomma, now that I'm here and kook and Tae goes to the same university, I'll make sure Taehyung takes care of himself, don't worry" Eun-ae said, enjoying her dinner as she was tasting Mrs Kim's food after ages.
"Oh right! Jungkook!" Mrs Kim enthusiastically beamed out and jaehyun chuckled at her excitement and said "yeah of course i do and can Jungkook looks so pretty, just like you two" Mrs Kim said and eun-ae chuckled at that and said "yeah but he's a little devil" and Mrs Kim finished her sentence with "just like his dad".
