You slowly opened your eyes and saw your dad sobbing beside you.

"D-Dad..."

Your voice came out barely above a whisper.

"How are you feeling, sweetie?" He was sitting beside you, holding your hand the whole time. He was barely holding back his tears because he knew he couldn't break down in front of his daughter.

"I am feeling fine, Dad." You tried to sit up, and your dad helped you.

"Princess, where are the maids in our house?" You gulped a huge lump because he was looking more serious now.

You panicked upon hearing the question, and he could see it.

"D-Dad, i-it's... actually, we thought that since only two people are at home... So we gave all the maids leave. They also need to enjoy their life, right?"

You stuttered badly because this is the first time in your whole 25 years that you lied to your dad.

"Whom are you saving, baby? That person who didn't even come after seeing you fainted?? Don't save her from me."

Your dad caressed your cheeks, then kissed your forehead.

"D-Dad..."

"I am your Dad, baby. I raised you up. After Hana (Yn's biological mother), I am your Mom. I know a mother is her daughter's best friend, but to my bad luck, I can't save her. But still, you have me, and you can share every single thing with me. I promised your mom, baby, that I will take care of you like a princess till my last breath. You know that I can't see tears in your eyes. You're my precious diamond, darling. You and Hana are my first and last love; no one can replace that place, princess."

Your Dad held your hand in a tight grip. You looked down.

"I got to know everything. I know you have a very, very big heart just like Hana. But you know that we shouldn't let the ones who took control over us, who never thought about our goods." Maybe you've grown up a lot, but still, your dad is more experienced in life.

"Dad, I am tired. I am tired of that woman. I-I can't live with her anymore. She is even more evil than I thought." Now the barrier of your emotions broke. You couldn't hold it anymore and burst in front of your dad, while hugging him tightly.

"We will find a solution soon, baby. Just some more time, okay? If society hadn't forced me to take you and your brother from me, I would never have married that evil woman. I am sorry." He was also crying with you because the most precious person in his life, his daughter, was crying in front of him. How could he hold back his tears?

You didn't utter anything and just slept like that in your dad's embrace.

Time skips to days. .....

"Jungkook, are you free tomorrow?" While walking on the office premises with her son, she asked him.

"Is there something important, Mom? Then I can manage." He instantly replied.

"Actually, I have planned a dinner night with some of my guests, and I highly expect you to be present there." At first, he thought to protest as he already guessed what his mom was up to. But as soon as he remembered his promise to his mom, he nodded, bringing a faint smile to his mother's face, which was his biggest achievement.

"I invited Jimin and Eun-Ae. But as Eun-Ae went to Japan for her novel promotion, she couldn't come," she explained further. In response, he just nodded.

The next day, in the evening...

"Dad, why did we rush to Seoul suddenly?" Being curious, you couldn't hold it anymore and finally asked. You were looking outside of the car's window, admiring the city lights.

"You topped in your whole college and broke a 10-year record, so take it as a gift from Dad. And tomorrow we will go to the new medical university to take admission for your further studies," he said. Instantly, you looked at him.

"How about you? I don't want you to live with that woman alone. Bro is also handling his training process. No, no. This can't be," you said, your eyes welling up without your knowledge.

To calm you down, your Dad hugged you tightly. "Baby, I am not gonna live with her. I have business trips, and more than that, I will come to you whenever I need. You don't need to worry," he reassured, placing a kiss on your forehead.

"Dad, you still have to go to the house, right?" you asked while hugging him.

"Nope, dear. I changed the house after marrying her just because I don't want to ruin Hana's memories just because of her. I will stay at our old house. You don't need to worry. I will find a way to get rid of her soon. I just need one strong proof," he said while looking ahead.

"Sir, we are here," the driver said.

The car stopped near a very luxurious restaurant. You entered with your Dad. The interior design amazed you.

A lady in her office attire came forward to show you both the way towards the VVIP room. As soon as you entered, you were greeted by three people, two men and one lady.

"Beautiful..." as soon as you entered, the lady said.

"Your daughter grew up beautifully, Oppa. Come sit beside me, Ynaah." That lady called you. You looked at your Dad to know what was happening. Without answering anything, your Dad gestured for you to go near her. Being an obedient child, you went near her and sat on the next chair.

Soon the dishes were served.

"Let's dig in, everyone," one of the men said. And without waiting any longer, he dug in first, followed by the others.

"Oppa, did you tell her?" You looked at your dad as soon as the woman asked him, only to see him shake his head.

"No. I didn't have the courage," your dad looked down. He didn't know what to say, and here you were, dying to know the thing your dad had hidden from you.

"Okay, so I won't beat around the bush, I will come directly to the point," you looked at her with your curious eyes.

"We arranged this dinner just to discuss the marriage between you and my son Jungkook. We want to know both of your opinions, and we hope we won't be disappointed. Think carefully, talk with each other, and then make a decision." Your mouth went ajar. You looked at your dad only to see him looking at you lovingly. No words came from your mouth. You sat there silently.

You still don't know who she is talking about between those two men. Suddenly, one of them spread his hand for a handshake. You looked at him.

"Hello, future sister-in-law. I am Jimin, his elder brother. Nice to meet you." He flashed a smile. Out of generosity, you took it and gave a small nod.

"Ynaah, I know this is a huge shock for you. But as a parent, I am asking you to think carefully. Okay? Take your time. Don't stress out." She caressed your hair. You just nodded. And after that, the whole dinner time, neither you talked nor ate something.

You couldn't bring yourself to think about what is happening around you. You even forgot how to think. Even you didn't hear what they talked about later.

You couldn't remember how you came to the panthhouse or something. Everything was feeling blank beside you.

"Princess."

Anyway....

I am expecting at least 10 votes.
Not only expecting it's the goal for this chapter.
