I  missed waking up next to her, smelling her honey comb hair, having general conversations or even watching her sleep. I miss her touch and little giggle as my face is buried in her neck. I miss the kisses and just the moments when we look into each other's eyes saying no words but with smiles.

A couple of days ago, I was watching tv with Namjoon, after work and supper. The movie we watched finished and we decided to head to bed. I closed all the lights and was about to head upstairs that's until I heard a door creaking open.

I slowly went back downstairs standing by the wall, blending in with the darkness.

I saw her figure walking out a room but she suddenly stopped as if she felt my presence. She hurriedly went back in the room lightly closing the door.

I knew maybe she saw me, so instead of standing I crouched down hiding behind the banister. My guess is that she never missed an early midnight snack so I knew she was going to sneak out again. Sleepwalker.

After a while she came out, a growing smile formed on my face as I peaked my head just to see her. She creeped slowly out tiptoeing to the kitchen.

I walked carefully to the kitchen, the bright white light showing the view of her back. I wanted to see her face, but I didn't want to scare her. It's in those little moments that I realise I have to fix things with her.

I sit up on my bed having nothing to do. My day off usually is spent with Taedae or just resting at home with Andrea but neither of those are optional right now. My phone buzzes with a message from Fiela.

Fiela:
Hey brother in law :D
It's me, your sister in law, Fiela.
I'm having a family and friends gathering today at my house... well at JK's house and I really want you and Andrea to come! Dress neat, party starts at 5pm

"You came!" I embrace her tiny frame as she puts her arms around my torso. "Ohh I'm so nervous,"

I chuckle at her picking up Aufilea as she runs into my arms.

"TaeTae!" she chuckles. "Uncle Tae I'm a big girl now. You still don't have to carry me anymore," she laughs.

"You'll forever be little in my big arms. As long as you don't gain weight or become more tall then I'll keep carrying you," I remind her. I kiss her check enjoying the music that's playing in the background.

"Where's Andrea?"

I've been dreading that question. I knew it would come but I was hoping it wouldn't. Aufilea jumps off my arms to the other kids.

"She's not feeling well." I answer half hearted trying to reassure her with my smile. "We got in a fight and she's avoiding me,"

Fiela chuckles sadly almost looking like she wants to cry. "Is that what marriage is like?"

I chuckle a bit. "Yes. Lots of ups and downs and whole lot of misunderstanding, but it's not that bad. As long as you're willing to fix it you know,"

She nods her head. "I'm sorry you're going through rough patches. I hope things get better," she sighs but instantly grins when Jungkook comes up right behind her kissing her cheek.

"Taehyung!" He cheers and we bump knuckles. "How've you been man?  My apologies for not being able to attend to the situation with Namjoon," he apologizes.

"It's alright. We've actually started getting along,"

"How's he managing though?" He asks.

"He's not trying to kill us anymore. That's one," I answer. Fiela visibly rolls her eyes.

I know she doesn't like Namjoon and I'm not gonna fight her on it. But he's changed... I mean Andrea's been saying it and I've kind of seen him be good to me.

"If you say so," Fiela comments. "But I feel like it's bullshit, this whole house arrest–"

Jungkook turns her towards him and kisses the tip of her nose. "Calm down. There's no reason to get mad,"

Usually on subjects when we both have differences, we fight. Not physically but verbally. She's never liked my past or that I'm built on corruption neither do I like how she's spoilt and thinks she can blindside the real world and only live in her bubble. But despite all that we still get together and talk about it because we care about each other and we're family.

Jungkook turns her towards me and stands behind her. Fiela takes a breath."I'm sorry,"

My eyes open wide taking a glass of wine as a servant walks by. I look around jokingly looking to the sky. "Did she just...apologize? It's broad daylight and she's apologizing,"

She rolls her eyes laughing a little. "Taehyung you know I mean no harm, but ever since you guys broke into our home..a lot of things came out of that. Some good and others bad," she says. "I mean you and Andrea are together, Agust is now Yoongi, Jimin and even Jungkook.." she looks at him. "I would've never met him if you guys never did that. But as everyone changed Namjoon went to prison he came back and still wanted your head and attacked Andrea. Do you really think he's not gonna do the same thing again?"

I sigh taking a sip of my wine. "I'm not saying I trust him completely. I'm saying that his behaviour is very different. Reminds me a lot of when we were still growing up,"

She shrugs her shoulders. "I love it that you're maybe getting along with your brother, but please Tae, don't loose sight at all of what's behind his mask,"

Jungkook clears his throat. "She's right. He's been too silent while in prison and we should be very careful in this period,"

I nod my head watching her hands holding onto Jungkook's arm around her waist. "That ring is strikingly glamorous and stunning. Better hop fast Kookie, someone might take her before you know it," I gleefully smile.

They share a glance and laugh.

"May we have everyone's attention please," Jungkook says gently as Fiela taps her wine glass with a fork.

Jungkook bites his lip and looks down at Fiela. He smirks turning to the crowd. "Thank you all very much for making it this afternoon,"

A few people clap causing everyone to forcefully applaud. This is of course Fiela's side of the family.

I've never met all of them, I just know a few knowable people. Either way, the rest of their family is very egotistical for my own liking.

Veronica, Fiela's mum, puts her arm through my own. I bend down a bit leaning to her ear. The whole night she's been giving me advice on how to manage my anger and also how to keep my emotions in check. It's like she knows that I hit Andrea. Jin also came by and gave me some advice as well. I'm really grateful to have them as my in-laws.

"Doesn't that ring look fabulous on her finger?" She asks.

I curiously look at Fiela's ring. I feel as if Veronica is hinting something. Fiela bears a very stunning smile while Jungkook holds her hand in his. Now that I think about it, they've been together for a year..literally living together and being together.

My head snaps down to Veronica and Jin beside her, they both hold proud grins and knowing looks. I turn back to the perfectly fit couple.

Fiela smiles at me and laughs into the microphone. "Well..the moment has come," She lifts up her left hand displaying that very same bold glamorous ring.

"We're getting married,"

Theirs no air left around as everyone jolts into cheers and tears. I cheer with everyone as Fiela and Jungkook embrace each other smashing their lips longingly together.
