Grandmother's Decision

Pamela felt like she wanted to run as Mr. Min's mother stood at the door, just staring at her. "Mom." Her voice shook.

"Hey mom!" Mr. Min greeted her happily. He got up and helped her over to the chair.

"What's wrong with Pamela? What did the doctor say?" She inquired.

"Don't worry. Doctor said two days of bed rest should do." Mr. Min answered.

She gave Pamela a scolding look. "You're too careless. Didn't even know you were pregnant." She turned her stare to her son. "She needs to be careful from now on."

To both of their surprise, Pamela got up and stood beside grandma. "Mom..."

Grandma grabbed her hand to steady her. "Pamela, lie down." She commanded.

Pamela set her pleading eyes upon the older woman. "I don't know how to obtain your forgiveness."

Grandma raised her eyebrow in confusion. "Why? Just because of your carelessness?"

"Because..." Pamela could hear her heart beat in fear. "My daughter, Lonna...and your grandson, Yoongi, are in love. I'm really sorry, but I don't believe they're wrong."

Grandma averted her eyes from Pamela's sad ones. "So...you think your individual children can be in love, even marry?"

"Mom." Mr. Min spoke. "If there must be something wrong, then it's...their choice...not matching our expectations." Pamela was stunned to see Mr. Min stand up against his mother. "But as long as they're happy, mom..."

His mother only sat silently, staring at the floor. Pamela started to become anxious, waiting for her answer. "They're both kindhearted and considerate children, so they're mutually attracted and in love with each other."

Grandma still said nothing. This forced Pamela to do the first thing she thought of. Before either of them could stop her, Pamela fell on her knees by Mrs. Min's feet. "Mom...if you still allow me to call you mom...I beg you, please accept their love." Grandmother's eyes went round with shock as Pamela bowed as low as she could go.

"Pamela." Grandma finally said something. "To be a Min woman, you can't be this weak. Stand up." She ordered, but Pamela refused.

"I know by your standards, we're too self centered." When Pamela looked back up at her, tears were running from her eyes. "But I sincerely ask you, please accept those of us who, in other's eyes, have messy and complicated relationships."

"So, to gain what you consider to be the happiness you deserve, then you need more than anything to stand tall in front of me." She said.

Feeling his heart hurt seeing his lover on the floor, Mr. Min moved to help her up. He held her hand tightly and stood before his mother. "Mom, what others think, I don't care. But I can't disregard your opinion. Your thoughts will decide whether our family is together or splits up."

"Then..." Grandma looked away from them. "You should split up."

The tears Mr. Min saw falling down Pamela's cheeks, gave him a courage he had never felt before. "Mom..." He said trying to get her to look at him, but she refused. "Mom..." His mother rolled her eyes and finally stared up at her son. "If I can't have your blessing, then I...I..." His nerves caught up to him, making him go quiet.

Grandma chuckled. "My blessing is really so important?" Mr. Min became confused as she stuck her finger in his chest and push him lightly. "You, the father, are less than your son."

Mr. Min's eyes went wide. "Mom, you mean..."

"Yoongi visited me this afternoon." A proud smile stretched her lips. "You think your son would listen to me?" Her smile grew bigger as she recalled what happened.

"I have someone I like." Suga said. "Same as before, I know you won't accept her, but I don't care. The person I like is..."

"Lonna." His grandmother shocked him by finishing the sentence.

Suga nodded his head and stared down a his hands. "Grandma, you knew?"

"More like, I suspected." She answered. "That is why I arranged for you and Seungwan to date. And I tried to tell Pamela to pay closer attention."

"So now what?" Suga asked.

"I should ask you that. Do you think I should accept it?" Suga smirked at the way she threw his question back at him. "You're about to become siblings. Can I accept it?"

Suga took a long calming breath. "Grandma...although I hated those childhood violin lessons, one incident left a deep impression on me."

"Go on." His grandmother encouraged him.

"I still remember the teacher that taught me violin. He was to preform at a very important concert. But, the thing was, whether it was sabotage or not, before he went on stage, he discovered that his world-famous violin had been switched. When he opened the case, inside was a very ordinary violin."

His grandmother nodded her head. "I remember that incident. That day, I forced you to go to the concert. Before the performance, we went backstage. That's when we saw it happen."

"At the time, I thought he had to be mortified." Suga continued. "But he actually went on stage and finished the performance."

"Using that very ordinary violin." His grandmother said.

"He said something to me. That I still remember to this day." Suga told her. "He said...it didn't matter if he held a world-famous violin or a ordinary violin. To him, it wasn't important. What was important was the music already in his heart."

"Why are you talking about this?" She asked curiously.

"Like that violin, only the inexperienced would care if he held a world-famous violin or an ordinary one." Finally getting to the point, Suga stared at his grandmother. "Similarly, what's Lonna's and my relationship? Whether it's lovers or siblings, to me, it's not important." His stare grew more intense and serious. "Because, no matter how people look at me, Lonna is already in my heart."

Mr. Min was overly proud of his son's courage as his mother told them what he had said. "Since Yoongi said that, I couldn't tear his heart out." She sighed. "Forget it. Although I don't like your arrangement, but..." Pamela wiped the tears from her face as she finally smiled. "Do whatever you want."

"Mom." Pamela said. "Thank you for accepting us. They all were overjoyed to finally be whole again.

Mr. Min's POV

Mr. Min couldn't wait till morning to tell the kids the good news. He took his shoes off and walked into the quiet house. "Yoongi, Lonna!" He yelled figuring they were upstairs. "Midnight snack!" He sniffed the pizza box he had in his hands, before sitting it on the table.

When they didn't come down, he climbed the stairs to see if they were in their rooms. "Lonna, Yoongi!" He yelled once more.

Once he got to the top, he went to Suga's room first and opened the door. What he saw at first shocked him, but then the cuteness of the scene made him smile.

Suga was sound asleep with his head on Lonna's lap, and Lonna was also asleep slumped against the headboard behind her. Deciding his news could definitely wait until tomorrow, he slowly closed the door back so he wouldn't wake them.

Krystal's Dad's POV

His faith in his daughter was starting to lessen with each passing hour. His nerves seemed to snap more and more as the sound of the nearby clock ticked loudly in the dark living room. He felt fear, but also anger. He worried, but also was enraged.

The clock struck three in the morning, and he refused to sleep till she walked through the front door that was now blurred by his sleep heavy eyes.
