A phone keeps vibrating on the nightstand and its low sound is quite disturbing. It's only an hour ago she fell asleep but now the incoming call forces her to wake up. Seulgi sighs under the blanket as she lazily reaches out her hand and grabs her phone. She peeks from one of her eye and sees her sister in law's name on screen. Then, it just hits her. There must be something wrong happening or else Joohyun will never urgently call her early in the morning. She picks up the call and before she could say anything, Joohyun bombards her with questions, sounding so worry.

"Seulgi-ya, where are you now? Oh my, did you see the article? Did you read that? Did you really---"

"Eonnie, slowly, what happened?" Seulgi needs to cut Joohyun off before her sister in law adds more questions to the list.

"I'm sorry, I bet you just wake up---" Joohyun talks "---that means you have no idea of what's happening" She continues and catches a hum from across "The Insider Talk just released a new episode, read that first and call me back later, get it?" She gives a full command and ends the call right after that.

Seulgi stares blankly as she tries to process the command. She just wakes up from her unproper sleep and her brain is in an error mode for a second before it starts functioning. Thereafter, she immediately browses the episode and reads it. Actually, she somehow knows it will be about her and Jimin, but still, after she gets into the last paragraph, she is just speechless in a very bad way. She truthfully feels upset and annoyed and this is the first time she ever experiences such negative feeling. She takes a deep breath and calms her emotion yet fails. She is so mad, not because The Insider Talk exposed her engagement, but because they unfairly stole her intimate moment with Jimin. It was a moment that should be shared only between her and Jimin, but they ruined it. Now, the whole nation consumes it and even begs for more pictures. Ridiculous, how people couldn't mind their own business. It's totally a violation of privacy.

Seulgi keeps sighing. What a mood breaker. If she feels like this, then what's about Jimin? She believes, he surely will be angry and furious. He will explode in anger and in no time he will probably file a lawsuit and sue The Insider Talk. She worries about him and keeps thinking about possibilities that could happen once he sees the article. Between her thought, she realizes that she needs to call Joohyun back. Instantly, she dials Joohyun's number and gets an answer in a flash.

"Did you read it?" Joohyun asks.

"Yes and I feel unfair,---" Seulgi is honest "---it should be my and Jimin's moment but---" She sighs "---God, it's a mess" She slightly whines.

"I'm so sorry for that, what should I do? Should I take down the article?" Joohyun offers a help.

Again, Seulgi lets out a little sigh. She thanks her sister in law but she also refuses because she knows, it's useless. Half of the population already read the episode and saw the pictures. It's too late. Everything is already stolen from her. Now, it's Joohyun's turn to sigh. She hears sadness in Seulgi's tone and it breaks her heart. She understands it really well, for Seulgi, it's a once in a lifetime experience but by force of circumstances, she needs to share with others. Yes, she agrees, it's unfair.

"Cheer up, take this, I send you a warm comfortable virtual hug" Joohyun speaks.

A smile appears on Seulgi's face. It surprisingly lights up her mood and suddenly her sadness disappears. Her sister in law successfully makes her feel a lot better and finally she decides to share her story. Actually she feels bad because her own family finds it out through another person's article and not from her own mouth. That's why she plans to tell everything with every single detail.

"Yes, now I'm Park Jimin's fiancé, he proposed me in a really unexpected way" Seulgi says as a wide smile graces her face.

Joohyun covers her mouth with her palm to muffle her happiest scream. If only her husband isn't there sleeping, she believes that she already squeals at the top of her lungs. She congratulates as she wiggles her shoulder enthusiastically. She hears Seulgi's chuckle as the younger one begins to deliver the story. Seulgi starts with how Jimin proposed her, the simplest yet sweetest one. She recalls how Jimin didn't kneel down but stood so close to her as he asked her to marry him. She also mentions that the engagement ring is originally his grandma's.

"What a beautiful proposal" Joohyun comments as tears brim on her eyes, it's touching.

Seulgi then speaks about Jimin's baby journal. It was too precious that its value can't be determined. It was priceless. She tells Joohyun how she feels grateful because grandma shared the journal with her and gave her a chance to discover part of his childhood memories. In the end, she recounts about her confession, a written love letter on the last page of his baby journal. She also tells her sister in law how she learnt and realized about her feeling for him through that journal.

"I fall for him, fast and hard, I don't know why and I don't know how, I just do" Seulgi states.

Joohyun smiles and nods a little. She totally understands that feeling. Even up until now, she is still not able to interpret her love for her husband. It's unexplainable but that's an enough reason to tell, what she feels for her husband is clearly a love. That also applies for Seulgi. What she feels right now is a true love and Jimin is man that her heart chooses. She believes in her heart. She has no doubt, even the slightest one, that Jimin is the right one. He is the missing piece she needs. He completes her.

Mr. Kim, personal assistant of Grandma Park, walks on zoysia grass lawn as he heads to a greenhouse which takes place in the corner of the garden. He carries a tablet and letters on his right hand. Honestly, he doesn't want to disturb her peaceful morning with the news but he needs to. He takes a deep breath as he is just steps away from the entrance. Variety kind of beautiful flowers and plants welcome him as he enters the greenhouse. He then turns and walks down the natural stone steps which is flanked by Mongolian basalt columns water fountain. Then, he finds her there, sitting on an ornate Victorian style garden chair as reading a book, served on the table, iseul-cha1 with traditional rice cake as its company.

"Good morning, Mrs. Park" Mr. Kim greets and bows.

Grandma Park immediately lifts her face and smiles to her loyal personal assistant. Every morning, she usually spends some time there to enjoy her breakfast and read some books before her personal assistant comes and gives her daily letters or news. Today, she somehow knows that something bothers Mr. Kim. She just waits patiently as she watches him puts down letters to the table and then she hears him clears his throat lowly.

"I apologize in advance but I need to inform something unpleasant" Mr. Kim puts a tablet above all the letters.

Grandma Park glances as she takes the tablet and sees The Insider Talk page there. She fixes her glasses and slowly reads the episode. Mr. Kim stays silent as he anticipates for her reaction. He studies her expression and it's hard to conclude. Then, suddenly a smile grows on her face and it changes into a chuckle. He doesn't expect it since Mrs. Park never likes it, or he can say that she almost hates it, whenever one of her family member's private life becomes a topic, but it's quite surprising to witness her reaction right now.

"Aren't they so cute?" She proudly shows him her grandson's pictures with Seulgi.

Mr. Kim gives out a fatherly smile and nods. Truthfully, he always feels affectionate toward Jimin, probably because he watches Jimin grows up, and that's why he wants the very best thing in the world only for Jimin. From his point of view, he finds them not only really cute but also pure. They start with a blind date but turn out a perfect match. It's what people call 'If it's meant to be, it'll be'. He witnesses how Jimin is so comfortable around Seulgi and that's enough for him to understand that Seulgi is the right woman for Jimin.

"Mr. Kim, please take down everything from the internet, you know Jimin, right? He will be so annoyed" Grandma Park talks after she saves all the pictures to the tablet.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Park, everything will be gone before your grandson even wakes up" Mr. Park replies as he bows.

"Ah, one more, don't wake them up for breakfast, just let them sleep" Grandma Park smiles and lets her personal assistant leaves.

Grandma Park keeps holding the tablet on her hand as her finger slides to the left and right, zooming in and out the candid photos of her beloved grandson and his fiancé. Smile refuses to leave her face as she observes. She is glad and happy to know that her grandson gets all the love he deserves and she is thankful because Seulgi is the one who gives him the joy. She believes, the young man and woman belong to each other.

In the other hand, Seulgi crosses path with Mr. Kim as she makes her way to the greenhouse, guided by one of the maid. She greets him and he smiles politely but he looks like he is in hurry. She just ignores it as she keeps following the maid to enter the greenhouse. There, she mumbles her amazement. It looks like a green paradise and the sound of the waterfall is a calming music to her ear. Right when she steps down the stairs, grandma turns her sight and meets eyes with her. Immediately, grandma welcomes her warmingly.

"Oh, Seulgi-ya, you look beautiful already" Grandma adores her.

"Good morning, grandma" Seulgi smiles.

Grandma then asks Seulgi to sit and orders the maid to pour iseul-cha for her soon to be granddaughter in law. Seulgi joins grandma and exhales once she is seated. A while ago, after she ended her phone call, she decided to have shower and get ready rather than lazily rested on the comfy bed. The reason was because she needed to meet and talk with grandma about the mess that she and Jimin made. Right now, she presents herself as relaxed as possible infront of grandma yet she still hesitates to start. She is confused about how she should begin but in the end she chooses to open the conversation with an apology.

"Grandma, actually I want to say sorry, last night, Jimin and I sneaked out to the beach, but unfortunately---" Seulgi halts as suddenly grandma lifts her hand, a sign for her to stop. There, she feels nervous.

"I know dear, don't need to apologize, it's okay" Grandma gives a reassuring smile.

"But, still,---"

Grandma once again stops Seulgi. She sees a frown on Seulgi's beautiful face and knows how much this young lady feels sorry. She then comforts Seulgi as she tells that everything is already handled, there's nothing to worry about. She also adds, she is not mad at all, on the contrary, she is happy because both of them had a romantic date. There, Seulgi blushes slightly. She just realizes, grandma surely saw all of the pictures released, including the kissing one. She slowly looks down and bites her lips. She just hopes grandma will never bring that up and how relief she is when grandma puts a rice cake on her plate, asking her to enjoy the breakfast.

"Seulgi, I think you should be the one who explain everything to Jimin" Grandma says as she watches Seulgi eats deliciously.

"Ah---" It startles Seulgi at first but she gets herself together and says "---sure, of course, grandma" She agrees.

Both of them concern about Jimin more than anything or anyone else. They know how he loves to live his life quietly and privately. This mess is going to test his patience and it's predictable that he is going to lose it. Now, Seulgi's brain works really hard to choose words that she will say to calm her man down. She expects to see his wrath but she believes, he is mature enough to at least listen to her, think twice and act wisely.

***

The clock already strikes 11 but Jimin still drowns in his dream. With grandma's approval, Seulgi is on her way to wake him up. Behind her, there is a maid who follows her as brings tray of Jimin's breakfast, or more suitable to call it a brunch. After she stands infront of his bedroom, she slowly opens the door and decides to peek first. Vaguely, she hears him snoring softly and immediately she smiles before she steps in and asks the maid to leave the tray on the nearest coffee table. She waits until the maid disappears behind the door and right after that, she approaches his bed and sits on the edge. She reaches out her hand and brushes his hair gently. From her point of view, he looks like an innocent angel when he sleeps and it's so adorable. She can't wait to wake up to his face everyday.

"Jimin"

Seulgi whispers as she starts caressing Jimin's cheek. She is not able to control her smile when he whines and pouts in his sleep. It looks like he doesn't want to give up the bed yet. Then she just lets him has 5 more minutes as she stares and watches him sleep. Her smile never leaves, it stays there. She tries to call him again and he sounds a little bit annoyed by the distraction as his whine is a lot louder. She chuckles. This time, she moves her body forward and bends down to get her face closer to his.

"Hey, wake up" Seulgi says cutely as she places a peck on his forehead.

It's so effective. In a second, Jimin opens his eyes and blinks continuously. It's not a dream, it's a reality. Yes, Seulgi is right infront of him and witnesses how ugly he is. Instinctively, he pulls the blanket to cover his face. He hears her giggle as the embarrassment hits him right on his face and turns it pink. He hisses under the blanket but then she forces him to open up, saying that he looks adorable and she wants to see it. There, he buys it and immediately gives up as he removes the blanket.

"Say it again" Jimin talks as he sits up.

"You look adorable" Seulgi tells him with no hesitation.

Jimin just smiles. He then excuses himself to have a shower first and Seulgi gives him a nod. Thereafter, he gets up from bed and rushes to the bathroom. He does everything as quickly as he can because he doesn't want to make her wait. He usually needs more than half an hour to get ready but today he manages to do all in 15 minutes. He sprays his Bleu de Chanel parfume before finally he steps out, clean and neat. He then sees her sits on the couch, closing her eyes. He walks closer and that moment she opens her eyes as she feels his presence.

"Done?" Seulgi asks as she pours the tea for him.

Jimin nods and joins Seulgi to sit on the couch. He takes a cup of tea from her hand and has a sip. It's soothing. He sips again before he puts the cup on tray. He looks at her and smiles. She drives him crazy and his feeling for her is uncontrollable. It feels like he needs to touch, to show his affection 24/7. He opens his arms and in flash, she throws herself into his embrace. He keeps her close and she snuggles more to his chest. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. His scent is her favorite and his embrace makes her feels safe and comfortable. She loves it.

"I love you" Jimin softly whispers.

"I love you" Seulgi replies sweetly.

This is the first time Jimin hears that three little words directly from Seulgi's mouth. It's thrilling and fluttering. His smile grows wider as he feels warmth inside his heart. It's magical everytime she is around him. It's like thousand stars suddenly appear and brighten up his heart. It's like the world stops spinning and the time stops ticking. It's only the two of them, appreciating each other's company and cherishing the moment together. No word can explain how thankful they are. It's surely a blessing that she is his and he is hers.

"Uhm---" Seulgi suddenly opens her mouth as she begins and lifts her face to meet his eyes "---I need to tell you something" She continues and Jimin just raises his brows.

This is it. Seulgi is a little bit nervous but she chooses to tell Jimin everything about The Insider Talk. She starts delivering the news as she never pulls away and keeps on embracing him. As the story goes on, his expression changes and there is only annoyance on his eyes. At one point, somehow, she finds his body tenses and knows, his anger already reaches the limit. She hears him curses lowly as he tries to pull away. Instantly, she holds him back and gives a gentle stroke on his back to conciliate but it doesn't work. She speaks to him, saying his grandma handled everything and there is no trace left, yet he stays mad, losing his control over his emotion.

"I'll sue and put them in jail" Jimin raises his tone.

Seulgi needs to witness how furious Jimin is and it's scary. For a while, she turns speechless. She doesn't know what to say. She nearly gives up as she watches him cusses here and there, until she selects a shortcut to solve it. By initiative, she wraps one of her arm around his neck and pulls down to line up their face. She right away tilts her face and shuts him up with a kiss. She should've done this from the beginning. It silences him in flash. She feels her lips melt when he nibbles her lower lips. She assumes, because he is in angry mode, he does kiss her a little rough, but it makes her heart beats faster and her body turns weak. He deepens the kiss as he lowly moans. The air is thinning out as he starts involving his tongue. The desire is real and this is too erotic and inappropriate. He still has control and knows that it's time to stop and hold back. He swears, he tries it, but she suddenly lets out a little whimper and his brain catches it as something sensual. It's really hard to stay sane. He is about to lose his mind but he successfully gets a grip of his own self and pulls away.

"That was dangerous" Jimin says, still panting.

Seulgi also catches for her breath. She bites her red swollen lips and nods. Initially, she never thought her maneuver would turn into a steamy scene. That was wild and she enjoyed it a lot, but she is not going to admit it openly.

"I'm not in the right mind, you should leave me now if you still want to get out of here alive, beautiful lady" Jimin warns Seulgi and smiles.

"I plan to, gentleman---" Seulgi pauses to smile back "---but promise me, you won't do reckless thing, no, just don't do anything, it's already handled" She continues and stares into Jimin's eyes. He pouts as disagreement.

"I beg" Seulgi frowns cutely. Jimin just sighs as a defeat and nods at her.

"Thank you" Seulgi states and gives Jimin a peck before she continues "Alright, I need to go now, I still want to get out alive" She chuckles.

Jimin watches Seulgi stands up and lastly she waves her hand before finally walks to the door and disappears behind it. He inhales and smiles. Seriously, he feels so proud of himself. He didn't cross the line eventhough he was pretty close to do so. He was within an inch of being a trash but thankfully he still could present himself as gentleman infront of her. Very lucky.

***

It was right after Seulgi got an approval and immediately excused herself that Grandma Park's personal assistant came. She expected the newest information about the progress, but she heard an unexpected detail. Everything was gone already. The Insider Talk's page was nowhere to be found when you searched for it on the internet. The blog was wholly vanished along with all its episodes and pictures proofs. It was strange and it leaded to another surprising fact. There was a person who already destroyed it and even blocked every single keyword that related with The Insider Talk.

"Who is it?" Grandma Park asked with curiousity and Mr. Kim answered immediately.

"It's your daughter in law, Mrs. Yoo Hyorin"

That was the bomb.
