SINGLE FATHER [전정국] ✓

Chapter - 18

The sun was setting, casting a warm golden glow over the park where Y/N and Jungkook had spent many of their happiest moments. They walked hand in hand along the winding path, Mira skipping ahead of them, her laughter ringing out like a melody.

Jungkook slowed their pace, his heart pounding with anticipation. He had planned this moment meticulously, wanting it to be perfect yet intimate. "Y/N, there's something I want to show you," he said, guiding her towards a secluded spot by the lake.

Y/N followed him, curiosity sparkling in her eyes. As they rounded a bend, she gasped. There, beneath a canopy of twinkling fairy lights, was a small table set with their favorite flowers and a bottle of champagne.

"Jungkook, this is beautiful," she whispered, her eyes wide with wonder.

He took her hands in his, dropping to one knee. "Y/N, you've brought so much joy and love into my life. You stood by me through the darkest times, and you've given me a family to cherish. Will you marry me?"

Tears welled up in Y/N's eyes as she nodded, her voice choked with emotion. "Yes, Jungkook. A thousand times, yes."

Mira, who had been watching with wide eyes, ran over and hugged them both. "Yay! Eomma and Appa are getting married!"

A few days later, Y/N and Jungkook sat in her parents' living room, the air thick with tension. Her father, Mr. Lee, sat with his arms crossed, a stern expression on his face.

"Marriage is a serious commitment, Y/N," he said, his tone firm. "Are you sure about this?"

Y/N took a deep breath, her hand squeezing Jungkook's for support. "Appa, I know you have concerns, but Jungkook has proven himself time and again. He's a good man, and he loves me deeply."

Mr. Lee's gaze shifted to Jungkook, who met it with unwavering determination. "Sir, I understand your reservations. But I promise you, I will always protect and cherish your daughter. She means the world to me."

Her father sighed, the tension in his shoulders easing slightly. "Y/N, you've always been headstrong and determined. If this is what you truly want, then I trust your judgment."

Y/N smiled, tears of relief in her eyes. "Thank you, Appa. It means so much to me."

Mrs. Lee reached over and patted her husband's hand. "We just want you to be happy, sweetheart."

One evening, Jungkook planned a simple yet heartfelt date. He picked up Y/N and Mira, driving them to a cozy little bistro that served their favorite dishes. The restaurant was quaint, with a warm ambiance that felt like home.

They sat at a table by the window, the city lights twinkling outside. Mira was engrossed in coloring the picture the waiter had given her, allowing Y/N and Jungkook a moment of quiet conversation.

"This place is perfect," Y/N said, smiling at Jungkook. "I love how it feels so relaxed and intimate."

Jungkook reached across the table, taking her hand. "I wanted tonight to be about us, just enjoying each other's company without any distractions."

Mira looked up, beaming. "Appa, can we have dessert?"

Jungkook chuckled. "Of course, Mira. How about some chocolate cake?"

As they shared the dessert, the simple joy of being together filled their hearts. It was a night of laughter and love, the kind of evening that strengthened their bond and reminded them of the beauty in everyday moments.

The day of the wedding dawned bright and clear, the sky a perfect canvas of blue. The ceremony was held in a charming garden, adorned with flowers and fairy lights. It was a simple yet elegant affair, just as they had envisioned.

Y/N walked down the aisle on her father's arm, her dress flowing gracefully behind her. Jungkook stood at the altar, his heart pounding as he watched her approach. She was a vision of beauty and strength, and he felt a surge of emotion as she joined him.

The officiant began the ceremony, their words blending into a melody of promises and vows. "Do you, Jungkook, take Y/N to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?"

Jungkook's voice was steady, his eyes locked on Y/N's. "I do."

"And do you, Y/N, take Jungkook to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?"

Y/N's voice was filled with emotion. "I do."

As they exchanged rings, Mira, serving as the flower girl, beamed with pride. The officiant declared them husband and wife, and Jungkook leaned in to kiss Y/N, sealing their vows with a promise of forever.

Months after their wedding, the couple awaited the arrival of their newest family member. The anticipation grew with each passing day, filling their home with excitement and nervousness.

One night, Y/N woke Jungkook with a gentle nudge. "Jungkook, I think it's time."

Jungkook sprang into action, his heart racing. He helped Y/N to the car, he told his men to send  Mira to her grandparents house before speeding to the hospital. The hours that followed were a whirlwind of emotions and intensity.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the cries of their newborn filled the room. Y/N held their baby in her arms, tears of joy streaming down her face. Jungkook stood beside her, his eyes brimming with love and awe.

"Welcome to the world, little one," Y/N whispered, kissing the baby's forehead.

Jungkook leaned in, his voice choked with emotion. "You're perfect, just like your eomma."

Life settled into a new rhythm, their home filled with the sounds of laughter, love, and the occasional cries of their newborn. Mira adored her new sibling, often found beside the crib, singing lullabies or showing off her favorite toys.

One evening, as the sun set over their home, Y/N and Jungkook sat on the porch, watching Mira play with her little brother. The sky was painted with hues of pink and gold, a perfect backdrop to their contentment.

Y/N leaned into Jungkook, her heart full. "We've come a long way, haven't we?"

Jungkook nodded, his arm wrapped around her shoulders. "We have. And I wouldn't trade a single moment of it."

Y/N smiled, her eyes reflecting the love she felt. "Here's to our family, and all the beautiful moments yet to come."

Jungkook kissed her gently, his voice a whisper against her lips. "To us, and our forever."

As the stars began to twinkle above, they held each other close, knowing that whatever the future held, they would face it together, their hearts forever intertwined
