Min Yoongi, cherished only child of the Min family, was born in the gentle embrace of spring. His life, from its earliest moments, was steeped in warmth and love, every milestone celebrated with the reverence.

His father, Min Hyun Jae, was the heir to the prestigious Min Construction Group, a legacy passed down through his father. Like Yoongi, Hyun Jae was the sole child of his family, groomed from a young age to take the reins of the family empire. He had graduated with distinction from Seoul National University, a testament to his ambition and intellect.

During his university years, however, Hyun Jae’s path took an unexpected turn. He fell deeply in love with a woman from a modest, middle-class family. She wasn’t adorned with wealth, but her intelligence and quiet resilience captivated him. For months, he pursued her with unwavering determination, his heart set on winning her love.

Their romance, though passionate, was not without its challenges. By the time they were still university students, she became pregnant—a reality that threatened to upend their carefully laid plans. Against all odds and societal expectations, they chose to embrace their future together.

Min Hyun Jae married her during the second trimester of her pregnancy, defying whispers of disapproval and carving out a life built on love, courage, and an unshakeable belief in their union. Together, they welcomed Yoongi into the world, their first spring as a family marking the beginning of a new chapter filled with hope and promise.

Yoona, not through wealth but through her intellect, had won the hearts of Hyun Jae's parents, earning their acceptance and respect.

Yoongi didn’t remember his grandparents’ passing clearly; the memories were hazy, like fragments of a dream. Yet, he distinctly recalled a certain warmth fading from his life.

Hyun Jae, who didn’t come from a extended family, had shouldered immense responsibility after the loss of his parents. With no siblings to share the burden, the weight of running the Min Construction Group fell squarely on him.

From as early as he could remember, Yoongi had seen how close his parents were to their university friends. That bond naturally extended to him, forming an easy camaraderie with the children of those friends. Yoongi, two years older than the twins, quickly took to them, finding joy in their chaotic energy.

The twins, especially Jungkook, were undeniably noisy, their endless chatter and antics filling every quiet moment. But Yoongi never minded—he adored the two bunnies as if they were his own siblings. Alongside them was Jisoo, whose  presence balanced the group, completing the circle of his cherished childhood companions.

Min Hyun Jae was like the warmth of winter in Yoongi’s life, steady and comforting, while Min Yoona was the fragrance of spring, bringing lightness and renewal to his world.

Yoongi watched as that warmth and fragrance began to wither.

Now, the company Hyun Jae had dedicated his life to was being held accountable for wrongdoings he hadn’t even committed.
