Despite his initial reluctance to fully engage, Taehyung gradually found himself warming up to the Jeon family.
Though he still preferred to maintain a certain distance, but the animosity and negative perceptions he once held towards the concept of family began to diminish.

Taehyung appreciated the care and affection he received from the Jeons, even though he rarely expressed it verbally.
Instead, he silently acknowledged their gestures of kindness and support, recognizing the genuine love and concern they showed him despite his initial biases.

Though he still struggled with his past experiences and reservations, he couldn't deny the warmth and acceptance he felt within the Jeon family Circle through various instances.....

Jeon mansion:-

Taehyung was sitting in the sofa engrossed in his books, when the doorbell interrupted.
Observing his father-in-law's arrival without Jungkook, Taehyung's curiosity piqued.

Mr. Jeon explained, "Guk is in the office, son. The budget cuts this month are making things rough for the company."

Taehyung nodded in understanding as Mr. Jeon continued, "Have you eaten, son?" Concern etched in his voice.

Taehyung shook his head in response, prompting Mr. Jeon's worry to deepen. "Why, son? It's almost 11:30... Are you ill?" he inquired.

Once again, Taehyung lowered his gaze and shook his head, signaling that he wasn't unwell.

Lost in his thoughts, he suddenly felt a gentle hand caressing his head, prompting him to look up in surprise.

Mr. Jeon smiled warmly, noticing Taehyung's confusion.
Mr .Jeon:"What's wrong, son? Is the food too spicy?" he asked surprising Taehyung.

Taehyung was  astonished.
He wondered how Mr. Jeon knew that the food was spicy, considering he hadn't mentioned anything about it.

He nodded silently.

Hearing him Mr . Jeon smiled and went out . Taehyung's confusion deepened as Mr. Jeon left the room without further explanation. He looked at the direction he went but then concentrated again on his book .........

Taehyung was halfway in his reading when his concentration was broken ,  he noticed a hand placing a plate of strawberry pudding in front of him.
Startled, Taehyung looked up to find Mr. Jeon standing there, offering him the tempting dessert.

Taehyung looked at the dessert with heart eyes.

mr.jeon spoke " Come try it".

With a mixture of surprise and delight, Taehyung hesitated at first, but Mr. Jeon's insistence eventually persuaded him.

As he savored the sweet treat, Taehyung couldn't help but wonder aloud, "How did you know?"

Mr.jeon smiled and reminisced " "You know, your mother came to the company after your marriage... She looked so devastated. Standing before Jungkook and me, she said, 'I may not be a good mother, but please don't hurt my child...' From there, she handed us a list of your likes and dislikes..."

As Taehyung absorbed Mr. Jeon's words, a heavy silence enveloped him, his expression remaining stoic and unmoving.
There were no tears streaming down his face, but the tremble in his hands betrayed the turmoil raging within his heart. Despite his outward calm, inside, Taehyung felt like a storm was brewing, emotions churning violently beneath the surface.

Noticing mr.jeon smiled" son ..it's ok to feel revenge full , it's ok to feel hurtful,it's ok to be sad on them .You have every right to be angry at those who have caused you pain .....the pain caused by loved ones does not go away easily....but son take your time.....heal slowly....but heal ....at the end when we look in the mirror we or you should not feel that 'if' that if I have done this then today would be different. Living with regret is more painful that dying. The live example is me , every day I live with regret that if I have taken the job rather than making this company then my mira( jungkook mom) would be alive......beta try to heal"

Saying so mr.jeon smiled and ruffled his hair and went away.

Taehyung felt a father figure in Mr .jeon the fatherly love the guidance the support he wanted from mr.kim he got from mr.jeon.

Taehyung didn't know why but he stood off his sofa and hugged mr.jeon.

Mr.jeon smiled and lightly carceessed his head. " My son".....

They were hugging when suddenly a gasp was heard.

Looking up taehyung saw jungkook standing in a weird expression with hands in his chest .

Jungkook:" haaah ...the betrayal...my father adopted another son.....,"

Jungkook dramatically cried and said " now I am less loved in this house...apppppaaaaaa...."

Hearing no answer he looked up and saw taehyung and mr.jeon looking done at his third class acting.

Seeing the loss of expression jungkook pouted and asked:" appa ...who do you love more me or ,tae."

Without any hasitency Mr .Jeon answered" of course taehyung my obedient good son".

Hearing it jungkook again started winning and went to join the hug.

But to his surprise taehyung slightly pushed him and said " my appa" possessively.
He smiled at mr.jeon and said " appa I am tired ...you too go sleep and tell your son to eat his food and come ".

Saying so he went sassily.

Seeing the retreating figure. Mr.jeon looked at his son and smiled. Jungkook  responded with a gentle smile, blinking  his eyes slowly.
