~~~~~Jungkook

I don't know why Jimin can't just talk to me at the dorm. He left the room for almost an hour and came back with Hoseok Hyung and said we needed to go somewhere. Now we're in a park and they both seem restless, but they aren't talking still. I'm trying not to be irritated, but this is getting ridiculous.

"Hyung... What are we doing here?"

"Jeongguk... The day we went to the kindergarten..."

"Papa! Papa!"

A small girl ran to Jimin and literally climbed his leg before he could say anything else. I'm stunned to see Jimin laugh and run his hand on her head.

"Hey Hyung!"

A small boy is now running to Hobi Hyung, and then I see the woman. My mouth hangs open a little as I watch her approach. She is laughing at the kids and I feel like my feet are rooted to the ground.

"Noona?"

"Hello Jeon Jeongguk-ssi"

Tears are pricking my eyes, but I bite the inside of my lip to not burst out crying. She comes and stands in front of me, and I feel like I'm being transported back in time. She looks the same as 5 years ago.

"How??? Naeun Noona... You look the same."

"Thank you... I think... You are growing well Jeongguk. You've become quite a handsome young man. The dream boyfriend of half the world..."

I cringe at what she's saying. It's from an article published recently, and I hate it. I have so many questions, but don't know where to start. I am just completely lost.

"Noona?"

"Yes?"

"Are these your children?"

Jimin turns to look at me, with the small girl now in his arms. She has been so focused on him, that she hadn't even looked at me. I'm waiting for Noona's answer when I hear the squeal.

"PAPA!!"

Suddenly Jimin almost drops the struggling child. He sets her down and before I know it, she's hugging onto my leg, almost knocking me down. She keeps screaming 'Papa' and there are tears in her eyes. I look at everyone around me and they are all smiling, but I feel only confused. Little hands are tugging at my pants and I look down into the face of the little girl... A face that is a copy of the girl I knew... The girl I loved...

~~~~~Naeun

Walking into the park, I almost turn back. I'm not sure this is a good idea. What if he freaks out? What if the kids get hurt? I see the 3 idols standing together in the distance, and I know it's too late to turn back when Mi-Hi takes off running. She's yelling 'Papa' and clings onto Jimin immediately.

Thankfully, he seemed to have expected this, so he just smiled at her and patted her head. Ye-Jun is jogging to Hoseok and greets him more formally, but with excitement. Hoseok gives him a hi-five and they begin talking. I see Jeongguk looking completely stunned in his spot, but only because he doesn't know who these kids are.

He turns slightly and catches my movement towards them. When his eyes take me in completely, his mouth falls open for a minute, and his beautifully sculpted brows draw together. I give him a small smile, and wait for him to say something. If I thought it would do any good, I would probably slap his handsome face. Common sense prevails and I just stop in front of him.

His eyes look wet, like he may cry at any moment, and I hope he doesn't. A bawling man-child is not what I need right now. We greet each other, and I can't hold back my sarcasm about him being every girls dream boyfriend. He broke my Haerin's heart, so I'll poke at him any time I want. When he asks if the kids are mine, and Mi-Hi finally notices him, she can't contain herself.
