The older daughter of Park Jimin, Aera is now sixteen years old. Though, now she feels as if she's ready to go into the mafia field like her father. Armani, her mother, thinks she's ready but Jimin doesn't wanna take that big of...

Jimin, the boys and Aera were walking into one of their monthly meetings. Though, this would be Aera's first time attending said meeting. She couldn't say she wasn't nervous, she was constantly rubbing her sweaty palms against the fabric of her black flowy short dress.
Her Appa's number one tip of advice was to always dress professional to meetings. Not only were you respected more, it left a good impression.
As they were invited in, Aera's anxiety started to settle in once again. She was walking right in between her uncle Joonie and her Appa.
"You'll be just fine, little flower", Jimin reassured her with a sweet grin. Namjoon did the same, patting her back in response. "They may all seem big and scary at first but their like big giant teddy bears once you get to know them", he described in a whisper as they were getting closer to the meeting room. Aera giggled at her uncles description of the men, now feeling a little at ease.
Once they entered the room, men in different suits were seated at a big long table. Jimin and the boys joined them in sitting down, Aera doing the same. She took in the sight of so many men in one room. Some were still standing up and talking with each other, having conversations over God knows what.
Though, one grown man caught her eye.
He was seated down, talking with another man. He had black long hair, freckles littered below his eyes. He had a smile that could brighten a room, a contagious smile. But, he looked so familiar in Aera's eyes. She doesn't know when or how she saw him, it must have been ages ago.
He saw her looking at her, only having to take one glance to finally notice. He only smiled softly at her, bowing in his seats towards her slightly. Aera did the same, returning the same smile.
"How odd", she thought.
Eventually, the meeting began. They touched on different topics left and right, Aera only tuning in to what each man in that room had to say. It was quite interesting learning about what her uncles and Appa did. Though, most of it was common sense.
"Oh", the boss of it all; Choi Soobin, laughed at himself slightly. "How could I forget, I want to welcome Miss Park to the team", he grinned. Everyone clapped or cheered in her direction, out of true joy and excitement. Aera began to blush at the kind actions, bowing shyly in her seat out of respect.
"Though it was a great surprise to have someone so young join, we are more than grateful to have you join us Aera", Soobin added.
"Thank you, sir", She replied with a smile, bowing once more.
"So, as I was saying, we should consider our current situation that involves Jung Wooyoung. He is a twenty-four year old male, attended school in Hanlim Arts high school only to drop out his junior year. He has committed about 4 felonies, robbed twenty bank facilities in the past ten years, and...let's just say he's suppressed the murder rate by now", Soobin sighed as he read through the file.
"He's a reckless one I see", Yeonjun pointed out as he read through the man's files himself. He passed it down so that everyone could take a look at it, Aera was the last one to look through it.
"Okay we know he's been involved in the bank corruption issue that's been going on around Seoul. Has he tried to mess with our drug stock market since then? We've gotten a lot of funding out of that recently", Felix questioned as he fixed his posture in his seat.
"Considering we just had our last drug stock transported to Busan a few days ago, I wouldn't imagine someone could already corrupt our system that quickly", Jimin replied.
More chatter filled the room, confusion hitting the men's minds like a truck.
Aera sat there, reading the file over and over again. As she did that, little pieces like puzzles began to form in her head.
"He has help", she spoke up, everyone going quiet. They looked at her with their full attention, Jimin the most curious.
"Has help with what, love?".
"Since you sent the drug stock to Busan two days ago, it would take five hours for it to get there but three hours by train. Once it's shipped and in Busan, that's when Wooyoung would be able to track it down and corrupt the bank account you have the drug stock market under. Since all the money made from the market goes into that account, all he would have to do is hack into the banking information and transfer it to his criminal account".
The men were surprised by her sudden spill of knowledge, confused of how she knew such steps.
"That...That does make sense little flower", Jimin agreed, still a bit stunned. "But how would he be able to transfer so much money by himself? He only has one criminal account".
"But what if he doesn't, Appa? That's where his men come in. He could have multiple criminal accounts set up to transfer different kinds of amounts. So, while he gets to sit and make money all day...his men help discard that money into his accounts".
"I knew she was perfect for the job", Tae said with a smirk.
"How do you know all this, kiddo?", Yoongi questioned with a chuckle.
"Well", she chuckled shyly. "Sometimes I listen to you guys talk about this stuff when I visit Appa at work. And now I just...research about it in my free time", she shrugged.
"That's my girl", Jimin smiled proudly.
Aera smiled herself, happy her intelligence stood out that day.

After the meeting ended, Aera and Hanni went out for ice cream later that evening. They told their parents they would just be hanging out but it was more of a date. Their special little bond had been going on for some time now, no labels whatsoever. But, it felt more special for it to be a date on a day like this.
They walked throughout the city, their hands intertwined. They didn't talk much as they walked, but it felt better that way. That way nothing felt forced, no one felt pressured to talk or make conversation.
"What flavor are you gonna get?", Aera questioned as they were just a block away from the ice cream shop.
"Vanilla with gummy warms and sprinkles", Hanni decided, satisfied with her choice.
"That must be your frequent order", Aera chuckled, only teasing. "You get it often?".
Hanni hummed. "I've gotten it ever since I was little, it's never changed. Occasionally I'll ask for m&ms but only on a good day", Aera only laughed at her words.
Eventually, they got to the ice cream shop. The bell above the door rung as they walked in, heading to the front counter to order. Hanni got her usual order and Aera got her regular cookie dough ice cream with chocolate chips.
They sat in the cute little shop, feeding each other ice cream or taking pictures with silly faces. At one point, Aera just stared at the girl across from her in the booth, admiring her beauty.
Aera knew she was young, that she was still learning what love really was between two human beings. But in that moment, she felt love.
Real love.
