          The entire dining room fell silent. Jin, RM, Yoongi, JHope, and V were looking at each other. Their silent, stunned expressions mirrored one another. They had to wait and see. But was this true though? Or was Father Bae just joking–? Their golden maknae got the genes from him after all and loved to make fun a lot, so it was probably just a hoax he had read somewhere on the internet. They were fully aware of how haters out there were quick to concoct all kinds of trouble that potentially hurt families and friendships. Then the hyungs glanced at Jimin, whose eyes were full of mixed emotions. There was a deep aura of anger emitting from him. They knew all along that when a situation caused him to show his dark personality, Jimin never recognized a person's status. He was blunt and monstrous. They feared any moment he will burst tonight, knowing him fully well as the scariest member. They hoped not, even though there was the highest probability of him in a deep, verbal argument against the pillar of Jeon house. It was also clear to them that Jungkook doesn't know anything about this too because of the way he was looking at his father right now. They saw Bang PD-nim eyed both Jungkook and Jimin with a concerned look behind his spectacles. This long stretch of silence made it more evident to everyone in the table at this point that this really was never a hoax at all. This was serious. It such a kind of news which everyone could hardly swallow. Even JungJae-Hwa sat stunned that she eyed her elder brother beside her, to Jimin and back. What in her dear father's right mind did something like this just came up to him?

"What are you talking about, Bae?" began Mother Young-Mi with furrowed brows that mirrored her youngest son's own.

"Appa. Am I hearing this right?" added Jungjae-Hwa. This time, her voice went from cute to the debate version once again.

"–That you really found someone to marry my Jungkook-Oppa off?"

Jungkook blinked and looked down at her still shocked. He wished to hear a clear explanation of this because seriously this wasn't funny at all. Mother Young-Mi at the far end of the table blinked nervously and looked at her husband, who just sat in his chair calmly as if nothing happened. He smiled and nodded as he calmly replied.

"Yes, my dear. I had been waiting for a long time to find the timing to tell this to you and everyone in the family. . . I felt it best that Bang PD-nim and your elder brother's members are also here so they'll know about the news and do something about it. Because soon, your favorite Oppa will finally become a married man. You will soon have a sister-in-law."

But the girl could never accept this. Her voice had gone even more serious. So much that it raised a bit.

"Are you sure?" she said sternly.

"Yes, Jae. I'm sure."

Before Mother Young-Mi could speak, the girl was fast to point out smartly and hit all of her expectations to her father.

"Who is she, Appa–? What family does she come from? Under what company? Is this because of your business with them, Appa–?"

Lady Young-Mi raised her hand. "–JungJae-Hwa–"
