Our Lost Angle

CHAPTER -12

The Kims shifted to the Jeons' place and began unpacking. Minjun brought glasses of juice for everyone, handing them out one by one until she reached Namjoon.

"Thank you," Namjoon said, taking the glass. But Minjun replied, "No... Thank you."

Namjoon looked puzzled and asked, "Sorry?"

Minjun nodded and said, "Yes, thank you. Thank you so much for helping Jungkook get out of the water." She looked at Jin and Yoongi and added, "Thank you, you two. You really helped him."

Then, turning to Namjoon, Minjun's tone softened with regret. "And I'm sorry, Namjoon. I blamed you for saying Jungkook fell into the water, but it's actually not your fault. It was an accident. I understand that now. I was so panicked and angry at the time that I couldn't see clearly. I'm truly sorry for blaming you."

Before Namjoon could respond, she continued, "I'm really sorry. I didn't understand what was happening at the time. Whenever he gets hurt, it feels like I'm the one who's hurting. I know he's not my real grandson, but when he came into our lives, it felt like our lives depended on him. I didn't realize that. His own brother could never hurt him. I am sorry, It's never been your fault. Please forgive me, and know that it's not your fault."

After Minjun's apology, there was a moment of silence. Namjoon looked at her kindly, understanding her worries. "It's okay, halmeoni. We all have our moments."

Minjun's eyes softened with gratitude as she nodded, feeling relieved. Miso reached out and took Minjun's hand, offering her a comforting smile. "It's okay, ma'am. We all make mistakes," Shr said softly. As other nodded at Miso.

Minjun squeezed her hand smiling"Thank you, Miso but call me aunty ."

" Alright, aunty it is" Miso smiled.

Then Minju approached Yoongi, who was avoiding her gaze. "I know you're still upset with me, and it's understandable, because it was my fault," Minju began. "Yoongi, I'm truly sorry for saying that Jungkook is only my grandson, not your brother," She continued, her tone sincere. "But it wasn't true. Jungkook is and always will be your brother. Maybe he lived here for some time, but he belongs to you " Minjun said her words filled with sincerity.

"We, including me and Doyoon, will do everything we can to help bring back Jungkook's memory. I promise you that," she added earnestly, her gaze searching Yoongi's eyes for forgiveness. But as she didn't get any answer she turned to leave.

Yoongi looked at her  for a moment and called for her " Halmeoni !"

Minjun stopped in her tracks and look at him. He approached her and spoke softly, "It wasn't your fault. You were scared, and anyone in your situation would have reacted the same way. I was wrong to be rude to you, and I'm truly sorry. Can you forgive me?"

Minjun smiled warmly at Yoongi's apology. "I forgive you, Can you forgive me now ?" She asked.

Yoongi nodded,"I forgive you." He said.

Minjun's smile widened. "Alright then. So, we're together now to bring back Jungkook's memory, right?" She asked.

The others nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, we will."

Namjoon and Hoseok barged into Jungkook's room, Hoseok trailing behind, holding a pillow with a mischievous grin.

Jungkook, already seated on his bed with a book, looked up in surprise.

"Hey, guys!" Jungkook greeted.

Hoseok made a playful swing with the pillow, prompting Jungkook to laugh and dodge out of the way. "What's with the pillow, Hoseok hyung?" Jungkook asked, amused.
