--AJ School--

Jungkook's emotional turmoil was palpable as he grappled with his daughter's unshared struggles. His inner turmoil was vividly depicted through his clenched fist and tense jaw, revealing deep unease and regret. "My daughter was going through so much and I wasn't aware of any of it. Why didn't she tell me anything? Does she not trust her father?"

YN folded her arms and leaned back in her chair. "I don't know if she trusts you or not, but what I do know is that she needs attention-a mother's love."

Jungkook looked at YN in surprise. "Are you telling me to-"

YN cut him off firmly but kindly. "Who am I to suggest anything? It's your life. So, you decide what you should do for your daughter." She rose from her chair, her tone compassionate yet resolute. "Whatever decision you take, make sure it's a wise one. As a father, I know you'll make the right choice for your daughter."

Jungkook nodded slowly, YN's words sinking in as he contemplated the weight of his responsibilities as a parent.

"This time, I hope you find the right person for you and your daughter," YN said softly before walking out of the staff room.

YN's words lingered in the air, leaving Jungkook to reflect on the path ahead, knowing that the decisions he made would shape not just his own future, but also that of his daughter.

--Timeskip--

--Jeon's Mansion--

--Living Room--

Jungkook leaned his back against the couch and closed his eyes, recalling the events of the day at school.

"Appa!" Eva rushed towards Jungkook and sat beside him.

Jungkook opened his eyes and looked at Eva, smiling fondly. "Yes, Bun?"

"Appa, my birthday is coming up, and I know like always you'll give me a surprise gift. But this time, I don't need a surprise gift," Eva said nervously, her words tinged with hesitation.

Jungkook furrowed his brow slightly, his concern evident. "Why not, Bun? Don't you like surprises anymore?"

Eva took a deep breath, meeting her father's gaze with earnestness. "It's not that, Appa. I appreciate all the surprises you've given me over the years, but this time, I want something different."

Jungkook's expression softened as he pulled Eva gently into his arms, his fingers combing through her hair in a soothing gesture. "Just tell me what you want, Eva. I can buy anything for my daughter."

Eva broke the hug and said, "Appa, you can't buy the gift I want."

Jungkook looked at Eva in confusion. "What exactly do you want?"

Eva nervously bit her bottom lip before saying, "I want Eomma! I want Eomma as my birthday gift."

Jungkook was stunned by Eva's words. He couldn't think straight for a couple of seconds. Finally, he managed to say, "Eva, I've told you before. Your Eomma will never come back to us."

"I know, Appa! But I'm not talking about my Eomma. I'm talking about a new Eomma. Can I have a new Eomma, Appa?" Eva's question hung in the air, weighted with unspoken implications. Jungkook looked at her with a mixture of surprise and concern.

"Eva, what do you mean?" Jungkook asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

Eva took a deep breath, gathering her courage. "I mean... I want you to be happy, Appa. And I think you deserve to find love again. I... I want you to marry someone who will love both of us."

Jungkook slowly hugged Eva, feeling a surge of love for his thoughtful daughter. He thought for a couple of seconds, his mind racing with mixed emotions. Slowly, he nodded his head and said, "Give Appa some time. I will find the right person who will shower all her love on you."

"But Appa, I have already found the right person who will shower her love on me," Eva replied earnestly.

Jungkook furrowed his brow in confusion and broke the hug before asking, "What? Who is she?"

Eva looks at Jungkook nervously and says, "Appa, I want YN ma'am to be my mother."

Hearing Eva's words, Jungkook's eyes widened in surprise and shock. He hadn't expected this, and his mind raced to process Eva's request. YN, his ex best friend and first love, was now Eva's teacher. But Eva's request to make YN a part of their family was unexpected and left him unsure how to respond.

"Eva... YN Ma'am is a wonderful person, but..." Jungkook started, trying to find the right words.

"I know she cares about me, Appa. She's always been there for me," Eva interrupted gently, her eyes pleading with him to understand.

Jungkook sighed softly, realizing the depth of Eva's feelings. He pulled her into a comforting embrace, silently contemplating the situation. "I understand, Eva. Let me think about this, okay? It's a big decision."

Eva nodded against his shoulder, feeling a mix of hope and uncertainty. She knew her father would consider her and his happiness above all else, but she also understood the complexity of what she was asking.

"I shouldn't say 'No' directly to her," Jungkook thought, closing his eyes as he weighed the implications. He knew her sensitivity and the potential impact of his words on their relationship. As he reflected, he considered alternative ways to convey his thoughts without causing unnecessary hurt or misunderstanding.

"Appa, I hope you will not disappoint me." Eva said as she hugged Jungkook tightly.

"Eva, don't keep your expectations too high. Because I think your ma'am is already married." Jungkook said, his tone tinged with hurt.

Eva pulled back slightly, looking up at her father with concern etched on her face. "What!"
