Episode 23: Family Photo...

Author POV:

As Y/n and Kim Minji continue to immerse themselves in the celebration, unaware of the presence of the two Kim brothers, Kim Jimin and Kim Jungkook, who harbor deep animosity towards Y/n, fate intervenes. Their father's instructions to find Y/n and gather for a family photo echo in their minds, leaving them no choice but to reluctantly follow Y/n's path.

The two brothers navigate through the bustling crowd, their gazes fixed on Y/n's figure as she converses with Kim Minji. The sound of their voices grows fainter as they approach a secluded corner, where they believe they can remain unnoticed.

Kim Jungkook: (whispering) What do you think those two are up to? Why are they talking so earnestly?

Kim Jimin: (grumbling) I don't care what they're talking about. We need to find Y/n and get on stage for that photo. I don't want to be anywhere near her longer than necessary.

As they eavesdrop on the conversation, their expressions slowly change from annoyance to curiosity. The words spoken between Y/n and Kim Minji begin to penetrate their hearts, catching them off guard.

Y/n: ...we can't change the past. What matters now is how we move forward.

Kim Minji: (tearfully) I've missed you too, Y/n. We shared so many dreams and aspirations, and I never wanted things to end this way.

Kim Jimin's brows furrow as he listens, unable to ignore the emotions in their voices.

Kim Jungkook: (softly) Did we... misunderstand something?

Kim Jimin: (conflicted) I don't know, Jungkook. Maybe we didn't see the full picture. But it doesn't change how I feel about her.

They exchange a brief glance, a mixture of uncertainty and a glimmer of doubt in their eyes. The animosity they held for Y/n had been fueled by past misunderstandings and assumptions, yet hearing the genuine remorse and longing in her voice challenges their preconceived notions.

Y/n: ...let's start anew. It won't be easy, but I believe in the strength of our bond. Together, we can heal and forge a new path.

Kim Minji: (tearfully) Yes, Y/n-ah. Let's start fresh. I promise to be a better friend this time.

The brothers remain rooted to the spot, their initial intention to interrupt the conversation now replaced by a sense of intrigue and uncertainty. The sight of Y/n and Kim Minji hugging, their tears mingling, ignites a seed of doubt within them.

Kim Jungkook: (whispering) Jimin, do you think... we misjudged her?

Kim Jimin: (pausing) I don't know, Jungkook. Maybe there's more to Y/n than we thought. Maybe we need to reconsider our feelings towards her.

Their conversation is cut short as they realize they have overstayed their presence and must continue their mission to find Y/n for the family photo. The brothers exchange a final glance, their expressions now tinged with a hint of introspection.

Kim Jimin: Let's go, Jungkook. We have to find her and get this over with.

Kim Jungkook: Yeah, but... let's keep an open mind, Jimin. Things might not be as they seem.

With a shared sense of uncertainty and newfound contemplation, the two Kim brothers depart from their hidden vantage point. As they search for Y/n, their footsteps carry a newfound weight, their hearts burdened with the possibility that they may have misjudged her.
