"Minju, don't go too far!" Jimin called out, his voice a mix of playful warning and genuine concern.

Minju, a whirlwind of giggles and energy, was already halfway across the park, his tiny legs pumping as he chased after a group of kids. They were playing tag, their shrieks of laughter echoing through the air.

Jimin had brought Minju to the park, hoping the fresh air and the company of other children would cheer her up after a gloomy yesterday.

He watched as Minju, his face flushed with excitement, finally caught up with the other kids, his laughter blending with theirs.

Jimin smiled, a wave of relief washing over him. He knew Minju needed this, needed to be a kid again, to forget her worries for a while.

"Have you been here for a while?" 

Jimin lifted his head, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. "Oh, we just came," he replied to Mingyu, his smile a little strained. He gestured towards Minju, who was now laughing hysterically as he chased after a particularly mischievous boy.

Mingyu nodded, his gaze lingering on Jimin's face. "I see," he said, his voice a playful whisper. He sat down beside Jimin on the bench, his shoulders relaxed, his posture radiating a sense of easy confidence.

"What are you doing here, by the way?" Jimin asked, his curiosity piqued. He didn't see Mingyu with anyone

Mingyu rubbed the back of his head, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "Nothing, just wanted to sniff some fresh air," he mumbled, his voice laced with a playful teasing tone.

Jimin just nodded his head in understanding. Then he looked at Minju who was running around and laughing.

"So, what's your job?" Mingyu asked, his voice a little louder now, as if trying to get Jimin's attention.

Jimin smiled, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Secretary at JJK company," he replied.

"Secretary of the CEO?" Mingyu frowned, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

Jimin nodded, a slight blush creeping up his cheeks. "Yeah, my husband wants to work with me," he said, his voice softening as he remembered how clingy his husband was yesterday in his office. Jungkook didn't even work. He just went to Jimin's office to watch what Jimin was doing. He even canceled every meeting he had that day just to stare at Jimin. Can you believe him?

"Oh, I thought you were divorced?" Mingyu asked, his voice laced with a hint of disappointment.

Jimin shook his head, his eyes meeting Mingyu's. "I thought about it, but things are getting better. We're working on it," he said, his voice steady

"Oh," Mingyu replied, his face falling slightly. He forced a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes. "I'm happy for you," he said, his voice strained.

Jimin just smiled back before he gave his attention again to Minju.

"Are you sure about your decision?" Mingyu asked, his voice barely a whisper, his eyes pleading.

Jimin frowned at his question before he looked at Mingyu. "Yeah, why do you ask?"

Mingyu looked down at his fiddling fingers, his eyes filled with a mixture of longing and despair. "Nothing," he mumbled, his voice barely audible. "I just thought I had a chance."
