"Oh my god, this is so sweet. I am crying." Jin sniffed as he pressed the bridge of his nose. "Namjoon, stop cutting the onions." he muttered.

"But hyung, I am not doing anything." Namjoon seemed offended, he was silently eating the biscuits and now the elder was blaming him.

"That's what I am saying. Don't do anything." Jin emphasised. Taehyung and Jungkook looked at each other as they tried controlling their laughter.

"But-" Namjoon paused, he gave up.

"Does she knows what she is getting herself into?" Jin asked Jimin who was sitting exactly in front of the elder.

"What do you mean hyung?" Taehyung and Jimin asked in unison.

"I am talking about small chilli pepper." With Jin's statement the crowd in the hall started laughing. Jungkook was literally on the verge of rolling on the floor.

"Hyung!!" Jimin shouted.

"True that, what about the small chilli pepper huh?" Namjoon asked, Jimin's eyes threw daggers at him.

"Correction hyung, shiny small chilli pepper!" Taehyung joined the conversation as well.

"You too, Brutus?" Jimin replied as he saw how his dear friend turned cruel and joined the squad.

"Let's get to the point." Jin cleared his throat.

"She knows. The chilli pepper has already been tested and approved." Taehyung mocked and received a death glare from Jimin.

"Still she is ready? Pity her." Jin exhaled out which made the situation more hilarious for the others.

There was a small house party held by Jin for the boys. It was a long time ago everybody actually gathered and had drinks. Jimin took this opportunity to tell about you.

"Have you asked for her mother's permission?" Namjoon broke the silence. "I hope you are aware that she is younger than you or we can say, you are too old for her."

Jimin shook his head. "We are going to visit her soon."

"What about your dad?"

"I will convince him as well."

"Great, I am happy for you." Namjoon smiled whole-heartedly.

~

"Don't you dare bring Sora with you." Jin shouted at Namjoon.

"Hyung, why?"

The others were witnessing their elders fighting.

"TaeTae, who is Sora? Am I missing something?" Jimin sipped his drink, their eyes were fixed on the elders who were fighting.

"Namjoon hyung's girlfriend." Taehyung whispered.

Jimin almost choked on his drink. "What?? Girlfriend? Hyung has a girlfriend? I don't even know!!"

"How would you know? You were busy running behind Eun Ae throughout these months." Taehyung mocked.

Jimin ignored his statement. "Where did he met her?"

"In the library. Namjoon hyung was writing his new rap song."

"Oh! And how this happened?" Jimin grew curious.

"Being a Civil service aspirant she use to visit library for her studies and then one fine day, Namjoon hyung overheard the conversation when she was bragging about her IQ which is 148."

"I see. That's perfect match though." Jimin wiggled his eyebrows.

"That's not the only thing that matches my friend." Taehyung bluntly replied.

"Namjoon, if you are going to bring Sora along then I am not inviting you." Jin shouted.

"But why hyung? Sora is such a sweet girl. She tried helping you as well." Namjoon was feeling offended as why on the earth his girlfriend wasn't invited.

"Helping me? You punk, she broke my glass vase which was gifted by Mizuki and a plate of my expensive dinner set." Jin yowled.

Jimin understood what Taehyung wanted to convey earlier, he looked at him. "Made for each other." And they both laughed.

+

"Is something bothering you?"

"Yes" Jimin stood up from his chair. "My appa."

"What about him?" Taehyung asked. He knew something is surely wrong.

"I doubt whether he will accept Eun Ae or not."

"Why Jimin? Eun Ae is really a sweet girl, ambitious, beautiful, humble, she is an epitome. I am sure uncle will like her."

"But she is not rich Taehyung. I know my dad, he will surely ask about her background, he will eventually reject her because of her financial status as it might bring down the reputation of Parks."

"How do you even know what he will do? You can be wrong. Don't assume things."

"I hope your words are true." Jimin smiled. "I am hoping to tell him everything as soon as he returns. I hope everything goes well." Jimin fixated his eyes somewhere outside the window.

Under breathe Taehyung muttered, "Amen!"

+

"Mr. Park, the Director wants to see you." Minjun said as soon as he entered the cabin.

"Dad is here?" Jimin was shocked, he wasn't expecting his dad to visit the office.

"Yes, he wants to talk to you about something."

Jimin walked towards him. "About what?" he asked Minjun who was trying to avoid his gaze.

"Abou..About-"

"You blurted out everything isn't it?"

Minjun looked at him for a while and then looked elsewhere, he was feeling guilty. "I am sorry Mr. Park. I am helpless, he is the Director and I need to follow his orders, I cannot lie to him." Minjun's tone was apologetic.

Jimin sighed. That's not his fault, he is just obeying the orders. "It's okay, not your fault." Jimin patted his shoulder and walked out after taking his coat.

~

The room was soaking in silence when he opened the door. He wasn't sure what was colder, his hand or the door knob.

Silence.

"You called?" Jimin asked.

His dad raised his head and nodded.

Jimin walked inside, there wasn't anyone in the cabin so he assumed that his dad wanted to talk about his relationship with you.

Jimin sat on the chair when his dad gestured him.

"Any probl-"

"Heard that you are in relationship." he raised his head, he knew he was right just by the way Jimin's face blanched.

Jimin gave a slow nod.

"An average girl who use to work as an intern for Park and now she is your Personal-"

"I love her dad." Jimin cuts him off. He is not even afraid, he doesn't cares.

His dad smirked. "So I was right. I got the news from Minjun and Isabella. I just wanted to confirm it. Don't blame them, they were just doing what were told to them."

"I won't."

"Good!" he averted his eyes towards the laptop screen. "I did some research about her family." He looked at Jimin. "...and learned that she doesn't even matches with our standards and-"

"Does that matter?" Jimin hysterically smiled, "I am not doing business nor I am asking for business partnership. I am looking for a girl who can be loyal and capable enough to understand, who can be compatible with me and not with my standards. I am looking for someone who can stand by me, complete me and she is the one."

He could see how excited and happy Jimin was while talking about you, there were little stars twinkling and exploding in his eyes.

"You deserve better Jimin-"

"By leaving the best?" Jimin retorted, "Dad, I refuse to agree with your statement. She is an epitome, she is lovable, caring. I know that she isn't rich nor she can offer a huge chunk of money nor her family can invest in our business or can partner with us. Believe me, she is more than that and worth the chase."

"You are madly in love with her, aren't you?" his dad got up from his chair. "Let me tell you son, girls from such families are hungry, she is with you because you are rich. She needs you with your money. Let's just minus your money and ask her to marry you. Do you know what will happen?" He asked, Jimin was still. He did not replied because he knew his father is wrong.

"I think you have met wrong girls dad. Eun Ae is different." Jimin bragged.

His dad saw how confident his son was. "I can prove you wrong. I have seen people changing into heartless morons my son. I have seen that... that's harsh reality of our society."

"You will prove it? How?"

"You will see. I need to meet her."

+

"What? He wants to meet me??" Your mouth went agape.

"Don't worry its just a formal meeting. Just go and meet him." Jimin assured but you were still in shock.

"Jimin, can you please come with me? I am not ready and I-"

"Shhh.. woman just breathe. He is not going to eat you. Don't forget that I am there for you."

You stared at him, Jimin laced his fingers with your cold ones. You smiled feeling the warmth he gave. "Just go." he whispered with a smile.

You nodded.

+

"Can I co-"

"Oh yes please."

You smiled at him before walking inside the conference room. You wondered why he chose the conference room instead of his own cabin. Nevermind, you sat on the farther most chair.

He was scanning you, you can feel your heart thumping inside your chest, it might explode anytime sooner.

"Hello, nice to meet you..." the back of your throat ached and you could feel your heart resting on the top of your stomach.

"Same here." he says and you knew it is just out of formality. He rested his elbows on the top of the table. "So, Ms. Lee Eun Ae... tell me the price.."

"Huh?" you twisted your eyebrows. Which price he is talking about? "Sorry?"

"You should be.." he muttered as he looked down only to sharply look at you.

"I have an offer for you." he said. "Name the price. As soon as you step out of this room, my secretary will hand over the cheque to you."

You were confused. "Cheque? But why?"

"Price to leave Jimin."

"What??"
