AUTHOR POV~

Y/N sat comfortably on the couch nestled between her mom and dad. The hall was dimly lit with the soft glow of the TV emitting shadows on three of their faces.
The trio were watching a comedy movie and their laughter filled the hall. Its been a while since they had such a relaxing family time, and Y/N cherished every moment where her parents were present and spent times with each other.

Her mom Mrs. Seohyun Kang reached for the popcorn bowl which was placed in the glass table and offered it to her. "Here sweetheart. Have some more" she said passing it to her with a warm smile. She took a handful of popcorn, smiling back. "Thankyou Mom. This is really fun We should do this more often."

Mr. Kang sitting on the other side, chuckled. "We should princess. It's nice to just relax and enjoy each other's company."
After the movie ended her parents exchanged a glance. Mr. Kang gently patted her shoulder. "Princess we've had a great time there at Jae's house haven't we?

She nodded her eyes reflecting the happy memories of the past few days. "Yes Dad. It was wonderful. I enjoyed every moment there, especially talking and listening everyone's childhood stories even Grandpa Cha shared his childhood stories too it really was fun.

Two days later after the farm tour she and her father were back in Seoul. The journey back was quiet both the Father-Daughter due were lost in their own thoughts about the pleasant stay at the Jeon's house. Mr. Kang had asked Jungkook if he wanted to return to Seoul with them, but Jungkook refused and had decided to stay and help his father with the farm business.

In Seoul life quickly went back to as usual. Now It's over a week they had returned back from Busan trip she was back to her routine, going to school every day. Her mid exams were coming up and for the first time she felt the pressure of exams.

So, Every day after school she would directly go to her room to study for her exam even her desk was piled with books and notes. One evening, as she was deeply immersed in her studies her father knocked on her door and peeked in. "Princess can I come in?"

She looked up a tired smile on her face. "Sure Dad." Mr. Kang entered and sat on the edge of her bed. "How's the studying going?""It's tough" she admitted "but I'm managing. These exams are really important."

He nodded, his eyes filled with pride and concern for her daughter. "I know you're working hardnPrincess but Remember to take breaks and don't overwork yourself. Your health is  important too." Said her dad.

Y/N sighed, feeling a mixture of stress and determination. "I'll try Dad. I just want to do well and make you feel proud of your princess." she said with a big bright smile.

Mr. Kang smiled warmly and gave her a reassuring pat on her head. "You will princess. Just do your best and that's all we can ask for."

After talking with her daughter as Mr. Kang left the room, she felt a sense of purpose. She turned back to her books, her mind totally focused on the upcoming exams. Despite the pressure, she felt she knew she had the support of her family and that's made her  work hard.

She often thought about the peaceful days at the farm and the talks she had with Jungkook. Despite the stress of her exams, those memories made her feel calm and happy. As the days went by, she balanced her schoolwork often thinking and talking to Iseul, about the laughter and joy of the movie night she spent with her family. It was these small moments of happiness for her that kept her happy.

The past three-four days had been a whirlwind of studying for continuous exams, and now She was in the agony of last minute preparations for her last exam. Her focus flicker between textbooks and notes as her thoughts drifted to Jungkook.

His smile, his kindness the way he listened so patiently to her talking, all these memories replayed in her mind distracting her from the task.

She shook her head pushing those thoughts thinking there was no time for distractions. On the morning of the exam she woke up early, did her morning routine and After a hasty breakfast she gathered her belongings and stepped out the door.

Her father standing with a look of unwavering encouragement wished her good luck eyes reflecting the pride and hope he held for her daughter.

"Do your best Princess. You've worked hard for this" he said giving her a reassuring hug. "I will Dad. Thank you," she replied with a smile kissing her dad cheeks and bidding him bye.

She climbed into the back seat of the car herr mind already drifting. As the car started moving towards her school she found herself thinking about the days at farm in Busan.

The warmth of the sunthe vibrant flowers, and Jungkook's gentle smile. Without realizing it a small smile crept onto her face. "Miss, are you okay?" her driver asked glancing at her through the rearview mirror.

She snapped out of her thoughts her cheeks flushing slightly. "Yes I'm  fine Uncle. Just thinking about something" she replied softly turning her gaze towards the window. The rest of drive to school was quiet. She tried to focus on her upcoming Korean language exam but her thoughts kept drifting back to Jungkook.

She shook her head, trying to clear her mind. "Focus Y/N.""You have an exam to ace" she muttered to herself. When they arrived at school, she took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.
"Good luckMiss !" her driver wished her

"Thank you uncle"she replied with a nod heading towards the school building. The exam was tough as expected. She did her best to concentrate, and perform her best.

Finally the bell rang signaling the end of the last exam. She let out a sigh of relief and packed up her things.  As she walked out of the classroom she felt a mix of exhaustion and nervousness.
She hoped she had done well in all her exams.

Her driver was waiting for her at the usual spot. As she walked towards the car her phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw an unknown number. Frowning, she answered it.

"Hello?'"

"Is this Miss. Kang Y/N?" said the voice on the other end. It was a stranger voice filled with urgency. "Yes this is Kang Y/N. Who is this?" she asked her voice trembling bit.

"Miss. Kang You need to come to your farmhouse immediately"  the person said.

"What? Why? What's going on...?" she asked her heart racing.

"It's about your Parents." "Please come as soon as you can" the voice replied. She stood there stunned and confused. Her driver noticed her pale face and rushed over. "Miss are you alright?"
