"We decided to leave the mafia" Yoongi said and the others nodded their head. "W-why?" Areum asked with shock and looked at them.
"To be honest, we never really liked this work but we had to do it. And now looking back, it would have been better if we didn't take up the mafia work, everything would have been better" Jin stated with a sad voice.
"Now, we think that this is the perfect time to leave the mafia. By doing this, we can actually mend our mistakes we did and give all the love you deserve. Better late than never Areum" Yoongi said and lifted his hand to caress her hair but Areum flinched a little thinking that he might hit her.
Yoongi noticed it, "I was just trying to caress your hair" he said in a low and sad voice. "It's okay, I understand. You are still scared of us" he said again and gave a sad smile.
"Do you want to study music?" Namjoon asked suddenly and Areum looked at him with surprise. "Are you asking for real?" she asked and Namjoon nodded his head. "Yes yes, why not?" Areum said being happy.
"Then apply for it, wherever you want. We will support you" Namjoon said with a smile. "Seriously!?" Areum said loudly. "Yes dear. You deserve to do whatever you like and not what we tell you to do. Wish we understood it an year earlier" Jimin said and looked at her sadly.
"Thank you so much" she yelled and was going to hug Hoseok who was in front of her but stopped abruptly as she was still hurt by their behaviour. Hoseok smiled sadly and caressed her arm to assure her that it's okay.
"I appreciate whatever you are doing to gain my forgiveness. I also appreciate the fact that you understood that you were at fault and decided to mend the mistakes. Of course I was hurt and I am still hurting with your behaviour. Everything went downhill since that incident" Areum said and paused for a few seconds and everyone looked at her intensely waiting for her next words.
"But I can see your sincere efforts to make it right. So, I want to give you all a second chance. But, I won't be able to forget this easily and forgive you all. I need some time" she said with a low voice.
"We are willing to wait for you for any amount of time. Thank you so much for giving us a chance. We will utilise it properly and mend our mistakes" Taehyung said and placed a little kiss on her forehead.
"Can we hug you once" Yoongi asked with a low voice. Areum slowly nodded her head and everything pulled her into a group hug. "We are very sorry Areum-ah" Hoseok said and caressed her hair. "I won't say it's okay but I am sure that it's going to be okay" Areum said with a small smile.
Flashback ends

"So, that's how both of you got together" Hana commented. Jungkook nodded her head. "Yes, it's one hell of a ride" he stated with a chuckle. "We can probably make a movie out of it" Seojoon said with a giggle earning a few more giggles from his cousins.
"Just a minute, what happened then? When did you forgive them? And how much time did it take for them to get out of the mafia world" Iseul questioned them.
"I didn't talk to them for two years" Areum said making the kids wide eyed. "What!? Two freaking years?" Chaeyoung commented and Areum nodded her head.
"Actually, for Taehyung oppa, it was 6 months and Namjoon oppa for one year. For the others, it was 2 years" Areum explained to them. "And regarding their mafia, they took around 3 years to completely get out of it without any single connection with it" Jungkook said and kids made an 'O' face.
"In the meantime, I completed my music degree in the Royal college of music in London. Jungkook was with me the whole time. He got a job there with the help of oppas" Areum said. The kids nodded their head.
"Is there anything more you want to know?" Jungkook asked followed by a chuckle. "No, nothing more" Jaehyun said and smiled at them "but I do have a request". "What is it?" Areum asked him.
"Can we all shift to the mansion you lived?" he asked them. "Yes appa, it would be so fun. Everyone will be together, like a big joint family. Please" Hana requested them with her doe eyes in display.
Areum and Jungkook looked at each other. "It's not a bad idea, but we should ask oppas also right?" Areum said and looked at Jungkook. "Don't worry about it. I will talk with hyungs" Jungkook said making the kids jump in happiness.
"Yess!! All of us can finally live together. It's my dream since childhood" Jaehyun said and the other kids agreed with him.
Two months later:
"Is this the mansion?" Iseul asked and looked at it with mouth agape. She was fully amused by it. "Is it the same one that was that used to like a horror palace two months earlier. Can't belive it" Seojoon commented making the others laugh. "Why didn't you tell us earlier that this building was yours?" Jaehyun asked his appa. Taehyung shrugged, "You never asked" he replied making Jaehyun roll his eyes.The mansion turned so dirty and shabby just like a abandoned horror palace. It took more than two months for them to make the building clean and repair it and make it comfortable to live for all of them.
This is how it looks now:
"Let's go inside" Hana yelled and ran inside the main gate. Everyone followed her expect Areum and Jungkook.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Areum asked. "What? You? Of course you are beautiful" Jungkook said lovingly. "Stop with your flirting Kookie" Areum said and hit his chest. "I meant this, our gaint family" Areum said and pointed towards her brothers and the kids going into the mansion.
"Yes, it is indeed beautiful. Why won't it be when everything turned out good at the end. Isn't it perfect? The story of us" Jungkook said and looked at his wife admiring them from afar. Areum nodded her head with a smile.
"Come on, why are you standing there?" Yoongi yelled and both of them went inside together. "I want my room, no one dare to take it" Areum yelled and joined the others. Jungkook laughed seeing her childishness. "Wait for me" he yelled and ran towards them.

Ahhh, finally. The story came to an end. It was such a beautiful journey to write this story.
Thank you to all the lovely readers who constantly supported me. It wouldn't be possible without you.For now, the story came to an end. There won't be any sequel to it but I can assure you that I will be writing few bonus parts, but not right now. I need some time to write those. Hope you understand.
Before you leave, a small request from the readers. If you didn't vote on all the chapters from the start, can you please do it. It's a little request from my side. I would be happy if you do it as it's a way for the readers to let the author know that you liked the story. Even if you don't do it, it's totally fine. I just had a thought.
Look forward to more books from me.
Signing off
