Part 40

Lia arrived soon after Jimin's call. She was surprised to see the serious expression on everyone's face.

"What happened? Is Suzy okay?" Lia asked with concern.

Jimin made her sit on the couch first and explained the whole situation to her, and how Suzy was deeply affected by the incident.

"Lia, I know we dealt that you would take care of Suzy after marriage. But I need you to be here for Suzy. She needs a mother figure in her life, someone who can comfort her and heal her, right now. Will you do that for us?" Jimin spoke with a hopeful tone and tears were in his eyes, which made her realized how much Suzy is meant to be for him.

Lia looked at Jimin with so much emotions , but then looked at Suzy, who was sitting few distance away from her, looking scared and sad.

"Yes, I will do it. For Suzy. She needs me, and I will heal her." Lia spoke with determination.

Jimin smiled and hugged her, feeling grateful for her decision. Lia get shocked by his sudden action as he never hugged her. When he pulled back, she smiled with a red tint on her cheeks.

As Lia started spending time with Suzy, she realized the depth of the situation. She saw how much Suzy was affected, and how important it was for her to feel loved and protected.

Lia spent time with Suzy every day, listening to her and comforting her. She showed her motherly love and care, which filled a void in Suzy's heart.

As time passed, Suzy started healing from the trauma, and became more confident and happy. She started opening up to Lia, sharing her thoughts and feelings.

And Jimin watched with joy, as Lia became a mother figure in Suzy's life. He realized that sometimes, love is not just about blood relations, but about the bond created by care and affection.

And he promised himself that he will always be grateful to Lia, for being there for Suzy when she needed her the most.

In evening,
" Thank you Lia for taking care of my lil mochi." Jimin spoke with a gentle smile.

" She is not your Jimin. She is our. Our lil mochi. " Lia replied making his heart flutter.

" How much Suzy meant to be for you as much as she is meant to be for me too and I'm grateful that you chose me for being a motherly figure for her. " she continued with a smile.

Without wasting his time , he hugged her tightly. She gasped at his sudden action.

" Thank you so much Lia. " he spoke.

She hugged him back " Don't say Thank you. I need to do it for our daughter."

She smile but her heart pierced as he would never be her. He always loved his dead wife only, not her.

Jimin nod his head and pulled away " Come, I'll drove you."

" No need it, Jimin. I'll go by myself. Take care of Suzy and talked to her as she wants to tell something to you." she spoke.

" Something?" He said in confusion.

She nod her head and looked here and there and come closer to him.

She grabbed his shoulder and lowered him and whispered in his ears " A secret."

"What secret??" He spoke.

" I don't know. She didn't told me. She want to tell you about it." She replied and ran away out of his home before he further asked something .

He looked at her disappearing figure and smiled .

He walked towards her room and saw Suzy playing board games in their cozy bed with her Grandma . Jimin watched as Suzy moved her piece forward, her delicate fingers struggling to hold the tiny board game pieces. She frowned as she landed on the 'lose a turn' block. Jimin couldn't help but chuckle at her pouting face.

Suddenly, Suzy looked up at her father, her big doe eyes filled with joy. "Appa would you like to play with us?"

He nod with a smile and join them to play.

Time skips,
As the game was over , Mrs. Lee went to the kitchen and Jimin looked at Suzy.

"Lil mochi, can I talk to you for a moment?" He asked her gently.

Suzy nodded her head.

" Eomma told me, you want to tell a secret?"

Jimin's cheerful expression faltered as he saw the sadness in his daughter's eyes. " What happened Suzy? You can tell me anything."

Suzy's small hands fidgeted nervously, but she mustered up the courage to say, but what she said it was unexpected. "Appa, I know that Eomma lost her memory, a year before."

Jimin's heart pierced at his daughter's words. He had hidden the truth from her, hoping to shield her from the pain of Y/n's disappearance. "H...Ho..how did you know...that, Suzy?" He stuttered badly.

"My caretaker told me about it, when Eomma came to meet me after months ," Suzy whispered, her voice barely audible.

" Why you didn't told me before , lil mochi?" He spoke with pain felt in his chest that she never tried open up with him.

Suzy looked up at her dad, her eyes now filled with tears. "I'm sorry Appa. I'm scared. I didn't want to make you sad."

Jimin took a deep breath, trying his best to hold back his tears, "It's okay, Suzy. You don't have to be scared to talk to me. I will always be here for you."

Jimin pulled Suzy onto his lap, holding her tight and caresses her back.
" Lil mochi. " he spoke in calm tone.

She looked at him " You love your Eomma a lot then why you didn't never told me before to take her back to home?" He asked

" Yes Appa. I love Eomma a lot but I didn't want to hurt you for bringing her back to home." She replied.

" When Eomma denied to know me, how much I get hurt by this. I don't want you to feel the same like me as you love Eomma more than I do." she continued as a drop of tear fell from his eyes.

Jimin was surprised by Suzy's maturity and insightfulness at such a young age. He didn't expect her to understand the complexity of the situation and how it was affecting him. As he looked into her tear-filled eyes, he realized how much she had grown up and how proud he was of her.
