Part-45

"And here you killed me with one go."

They both walked toward the stage, while Jimin moved in their direction, his gaze locked on Eva without even blinking. Eva slowly lifted her eyes and met his, her breath catching as their eyes locked.

Jimin took a deep breath, extending his hand toward her. Eva, visibly nervous, began breathing deeply. Jungkook noticed her anxiety and smiled gently. He reached for her hand and placed it softly in Jimin's. Jungkook gave her a reassuring nod. Eva smiled in return, then turned her attention to Jimin as she stepped onto the stage with his support.

They stood side by side under the soft lights, and Jimin leaned in to whisper near her ear, "You've crossed all the limits to look beautiful, Miss Beautiful… Now you'll have to pay for giving my heart such a shock."

Eva smiled shyly and looked away, blushing. Jimin chuckled softly at her reaction.

Jungkook, now observing from a distance, noticed Bella standing nearby. She was smiling while watching Eva and Jimin, completely absorbed in the moment. Jungkook smirked and approached her. Leaning close, he whispered near her ear, "Spare a little attention for your dear husband too."

Bella flinched at his voice so close, turning to find him smirking at her. Raising a brow, she replied playfully, "I have plenty of other things to look at… my dear husband."

Jungkook raised his brows back at her with a mock offense, then sighed dramatically, "Alright then, carry on watching your 'other things,' my dear heaven."

Without warning, he leaned in and kissed her cheek before walking away. Bella stood frozen, wide-eyed in shock. Her mouth hung open slightly as she scanned the room in embarrassment, but everyone was too busy in their own conversations to notice.

Flustered, she quickly excused herself and left the area.

Meanwhile, Eva and Jimin sat together on the stage. Eva was looking around the hall, prompting Jimin to tease, "I'm sitting right here, Butterfly."

Eva giggled and replied, "I know, my Mochi… I was just looking for my uncle and aunty."

Jimin followed her gaze, his eyes landing on the entrance. "There they are," he said.

Eva turned and saw her uncle Blake, aunty Selena, and Lucas entering the venue. Her face lit up with joy as she and Jimin both stood. The group at the entrance noticed them as well and began walking toward the stage.

Blake opened his arms wide, calling out joyfully, "Eva! My precious Eva!"

Eva beamed and ran into his embrace. "Uncle, I missed you so much! It's so good to see you after so many years!"

They pulled away from each other, and Blake laughed warmly, patting her cheek. "Congratulations, Eva! I'm so happy for you!"

He then turned to Jimin and smiled, embracing him as well. Jimin returned the gesture kindly.

"Jimin, this is my uncle — Uncle Blake." Eva introduced.

Jimin smiled politely. "It's truly a pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise, Jimin!" Blake responded warmly.

Eva's eyes then landed on Lucas, and her face lit up once again. "Chief! My Chief!"

"My Eva!" Lucas replied, laughing as he embraced her.

They pulled apart, and Eva asked sincerely, "Are you doing well now, Chief?"

Lucas grinned, "Perfectly fine, Eva. Look at me — fit and healthy, standing right in front of you!"

They both laughed heartily. Niall then approached them, and Eva greeted him with a wide smile.
