Happy for all her maternal feelings was the day on which Mrs. Park got rid of her two most deserving children. With what delighted pride she afterwards visited the Mr. Jeons, and talked of the Mr. Mins, may be guessed. I wish I could say, for the sake of her family, that the accomplishment of her earnest desire in the establishment of so many of her children produced so happy an effect as to make her a sensible, amiable, well-informed woman for the rest of her life; though perhaps it was lucky for her mate, who might not have relished domestic felicity in so unusual a form, that she still was occasionally nervous and invariably silly.
Mr. Park missed his second son exceedingly; his affection for Jimin drew him oftener from home than anything else could do. He delighted in going to Pemberley, especially when he was least expected.
Jungkook and Taehyung remained at Netherfield only a twelvemonth. So near a vicinity to Taehyung's mother and Meryton relations was not desirable even to Jungkook's easy temper, or Taehyung's affectionate heart. The darling wish of Jungkook's sisters was then gratified; he bought an estate in a neighbouring county to Derbyshire, and Taehyung and Jimin, in addition to every other source of happiness, were within thirty miles of each other.
So-min, to her very material advantage, spent the chief of her time with her two elder brothers. In society so superior to what she had generally known, her improvement was great. She was not of so ungovernable a temper as Aejin; and, removed from the influence of Aejin's example, she became, by proper attention and management, less irritable, less ignorant, and less insipid. From the further disadvantage of Aejin's society she was of course carefully kept, and though Mrs. Jo frequently invited her to come and stay with her, with the promise of balls and young alphas, her father would never consent to her going.
Eunji was the only daughter who remained at home; and she was necessarily drawn from the pursuit of accomplishments by Mrs. Park's being quite unable to sit alone. Eunji was obliged to mix more with the world, but she could still moralise over every morning visit; and as she was no longer mortified by comparisons between her siblings' beauty and her own, it was suspected by her father that she submitted to the change without much reluctance.
As for Sehyun and Aejin, their characters suffered no revolution from the marriage of her brothers. He bore with philosophy the conviction that Jimin must now become acquainted with whatever of his ingratitude and falsehood had before been unknown to him; and in spite of every thing, was not wholly without hope that Yoongi might yet be prevailed on to make his fortune. The congratulatory letter which Jimin received from Aejin on his marriage, explained to him that, by Sehyun's mate at least, if not by himself, such a hope was cherished. The letter was to this effect:
"MY DEAR Jiminie, "I wish you joy. If you love Yoongi half as well as I do my dear Sehyun, you must be very happy. It is a great comfort to have you so rich, and when you have nothing else to do, I hope you will think of us. I am sure Sehyun would like a place at court very much, and I do not think we shall have quite money enough to live upon without some help. Any place would do, of about three or four hundred a year; but however, do not speak to Yoongi about it, if you had rather not. "Yours, etc."
As it happened that Jimin had MUCH rather not, he endeavoured in his answer to put an end to every entreaty and expectation of the kind. Such relief, however, as it was in his power to afford, by the practice of what might be called economy in his own private expenses, he frequently sent them. It had always been evident to him that such an income as theirs, under the direction of two persons so extravagant in their wants, and heedless of the future, must be very insufficient to their support; and whenever they changed their quarters, either Taehyung or himself were sure of being applied to for some little assistance towards discharging their bills. Their manner of living, even when the restoration of peace dismissed them to a home, was unsettled in the extreme. They were always moving from place to place in quest of a cheap situation, and always spending more than they ought. His affection for her soon sunk into indifference; her's lasted a little longer; and in spite of her youth and her manners, she retained all the claims to reputation which her marriage had given her.
Though Yoongi could never receive HIM at Pemberley, yet, for Jimin's sake, he assisted him further in his profession. Aejin was occasionally a visitor there, when her mate was gone to enjoy himself in London or Bath; and with the Jeons they both of them frequently staid so long, that even Jungkook's good humour was overcome, and he proceeded so far as to talk of giving them a hint to be gone.
Jeon Jennie was very deeply mortified by Yoongi's marriage; but as she thought it advisable to retain the right of visiting at Pemberley, she dropt all her resentment; was fonder than ever of Jiyoung, almost as attentive to Yoongi as heretofore, and paid off every arrear of civility to Jimin. Pemberley was now Jiyoung's home; and the attachment of the sister and brother was exactly what Yoongi had hoped to see. They were able to love each other even as well as they intended. Jiyoung had the highest opinion in the world of Jimin; though at first she often listened with an astonishment bordering on alarm at his lively, sportive, manner of talking to her brother. Yoongi, who had always inspired in herself a respect which almost overcame her affection, she now saw the object of open pleasantry. Her mind received knowledge which had never before fallen in her way. By Jimin's instructions, she began to comprehend that an omega may take liberties with their mate which an alpha brother will not always allow in an omega sibling more than ten years younger than himself.
Lady Sohee was extremely indignant on the marriage of her nephew; and as she gave way to all the genuine frankness of her character in her reply to the letter which announced its arrangement, she sent Yoongi language so very abusive, especially of Jimin, that for some time all intercourse was at an end. But at length, by Jimin's persuasion, he was prevailed on to overlook the offence, and seek a reconciliation; and, after a little further resistance on the part of his aunt, her resentment gave way, either to her affection for him, or her curiosity to see how his mate conducted himself; and she condescended to wait on them at Pemberley, in spite of that pollution which its woods had received, not merely from the presence of such a master, but the visits of his uncles from the city.
With the Kims, they were always on the most intimate terms. Yoongi, as well as Jimin, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing him into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.
THE END
