CHAPTER 12

AUTHOR P.O.V

Y/N found herself immersed in a playful and joyful moment, surrounded by a group of children. Their laughter filled the air as they chased each other around the room, their innocent energy contagious. Y/N smiled, her heart feeling lighter as she engaged in their games, momentarily forgetting the weight of her own worries.

As the laughter subsided, Y/N heard a knock on the door. Curiosity piqued, she made her way to answer it, her mind filled with thoughts of who might be visiting. 

To her surprise, when she opened the door, she found Taehyung standing there, a warm smile on his face. But what shocked her even more was the presence of Jungkook standing beside him.

Y/N's eyes widened, a mixture of emotions flooding her. Confusion, surprise, and a hint of apprehension all danced across her face. She stood frozen for a moment, trying to process the unexpected reunion.

Taehyung, sensing her shock, spoke gently, "Y/N, may we come in? There's something important that Jungkook would like to talk to you about."

Y/N hesitated, her gaze shifting between Taehyung and Jungkook. The memories of their past and the pain she had endured resurfaced, causing a mix of emotions to swirl within her. But amidst it all, a glimmer of hope flickered, a sliver of curiosity about what Jungkook had to say.

With a deep breath, Y/N nodded, stepping aside to allow them both entry.

Jungkook's eyes widened in surprise as he stepped into the apartment, taking in the sight of children playing and laughter filling the air. He hadn't expected to see the presence of kids, and it took him a moment to comprehend what was happening.

His gaze shifted towards Taehyung, seeking an explanation. Taehyung's smile held a hint of mischief as he spoke, revealing the unexpected truth. "Y/N has started babysitting," he explained, his voice carrying a sense of pride for his sister-in-law.

Jungkook was surprised but didn't comment anything and saw Y/N gently gather the children's attention, their playful giggles fading into attentive gazes. She smiled warmly at them, her voice filled with a nurturing tone.

"Alright, my little ones," she said, her eyes twinkling with kindness. "I have some guests to attend to, but I'll be back soon. Remember to be good and listen to each other, okay?" The children nodded to her and continued to do their business.

Y/N led Taehyung and Jungkook through the hallways of the apartment, her footsteps echoing softly against the polished floors. She guided them towards a cozy visitor's room, a space designed to provide comfort and privacy for guests.

As they entered the room, Y/N gestured for them to take a seat on the plush couch, her demeanor calm yet tinged with a touch of nervousness.

Y/N's eyes lingered on Jungkook, a mix of curiosity and uncertainty filling her gaze. She couldn't help but wonder what had prompted him to come after so many days of absence, and the questions within her remained unspoken.

Her sight flickered between Jungkook and Taehyung, the room filled with an awkward tension. She couldn't help but feel a hint of hesitation and uncertainty, unsure of their sudden arrival.

Finally, summoning her courage, Y/N spoke with a slightly hesitant tone. "Um... I didn't know you both were coming," she began, her voice betraying a subtle nervousness. "I... wasn't expecting to see you here, Jungkook."

Jungkook shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his gaze momentarily dropping to the floor. "I know it's been a while," he replied and expressed he was hesitant to converse his purpose today.

Sensing the unspoken tension, Taehyung took a deep breath, his voice calm yet filled with purpose. "Y/N," he began, his eyes meeting hers with sincerity.
