Jimin held SuJae in his arms as Namjoon proceeded to lock his car while SooLin was some steps ahead, opening the  gate that would get them into the garden of their house.

"They are back~! Grandpa! MOM IS BACK~" The voice of little Yuna was heard from inside, right after she opened the door and appeared with a smile on the doorstep. She rushed at her mother's embrace happily as Jimin reached near and left SuJae stand on his own feet. They had left him out of the hospital however they had suggested to not restrain him much for a few more days and that was the reason why Jimin had carried him all the way from the hospital till here. 

Thankfully he had found them before they left the hospital as he was going there to see them and he was more than happy to be at the company of the little SuJae that even though was still weak, didn't hold back his affection and love for his uncle by giving him his most tight hug he could currently manage. Jimin's heart literally felt like it was being healed as he kept his small hands around his neck and for a moment he was able to forget of all the bad feelings he had been experiencing these days.

"You saw your mom just yesterday princess, how about you show some love to your uncle too."Jimin pouted his lips, pretending to be feeling left out and Yuna placed her little hands in her hips before shaking her little head,disapprovingly

"Uncle Jimin, you are an adult, you should be able to live without my love."She told him making him laugh before grabbing her and throwing her in the air ones or twice, making her scream and laugh till he finally secured her in his arms.

"How can i live without your love. You know that such a thing is impossible ,right?" He looked at her and she pretended as if she was thinking for a moment before she threw her little hands around his neck and hugged him again.

"Then i won't stop loving you uncle Jimin, but you can't stop loving me either, okay?" Jimin giggled at the hearing of her words and patted her back, reassuring her that his love would never stop then his eyes fell on SuJae whom was gaving them an angry gaze.

"I am the sick one here Uncle, stop hugging her and take me." He grumpily said as they had both missed Jimin so much and he couldn't help but feel extremely happy and loved by those kids.

"I will take you both, cause i love you both. Now let's go inside cause your mom is ready to yell at us for standing at the door." He picked SuJae up at his other hand and proceeded to get inside, the house getting filled with noise and laugher once again.

NamJoon that was behind him though, didn't step further inside. He just left the bag he was carrying with SuJae's clothes to the side and turned around to leave, till he heard SooLin's voice calling out to him.

"Why aren't you coming in? I will cook us something quickly." She told him as she stood at her doorstep and he smiled at her for a moment, before telling her that he had to get back to work.

"I see, take care then. Pass by whenever you can. I still need to thank you for your help." She told him and he looked down for a moment as his hand traveled to the back of his head, raffling a bit  his hair.

"No need to thank me. I did all someone would do as a good..friend." His reply sounded a bit stiff which he quickly covered  with a bright smile and a wave of his hand before turning his back on her and getting back in his car. He hurried to take off and once his car was in motion , getting him away from the house, he couldn't help but let his sadness surface on his face.

Was that all he would ever be? A friend? Was that all he could ever have? A small moment here and there when she would happen to be vulnerable ? And if the answer to those questions was positive , for how much longer was he willing to stay at such a state? 

"It's time you move on NamJoon-ah. Just accept it once and for all. No matter how alone she may be or how many years may pass, you will never be her choice." He told himself as he took a glimpse of his reflexion on the rear mirror then he forced his thoughts to get away from the tight feeling that gathered in his chest and go on with his day that was going to be quiet full, considering that he had a murder case to catch up with as well as take a look personally at Manuel's murder scene.

---Time skip---

TaeYong handed his coat to the maid as soon as he stepped inside the house then he proceeded to head upstairs to his room ,having in mind to change and take a shower before dinner. He had had a difficult day which had followed after a sleepless night as he had ended up not sleeping at all .

Once he reached at the top of the stairs, his feet halted as he was met with a painting hanging on the wall, close to the door of your personal work room. He hadn't seen it before but he disliked the sight because paintings reminded him of her plus that the colors that were scattered on that canvas were coincidentally  the ones she mostly liked to work with . He gulped down his saliva forcibly , thinking for a moment as to why was a painting hanging there since he had requested long ago for all art canvases to be taken off the walls of his house then  he went on to go at his room, in which once inside, he couldn't  help but leave out a tired exhale as he loosen his tie.

He proceeded to unbotton his shirt as he approached his bed  and  sat at the corner, soon taking off his watch and leaving it  momentarily at his commode. As he did so however, his gaze couldn't help but fall on the sketch that was waiting for him there and his eyes instantly grew wide as there was no way he wouldn't recognise it. MinHee used to show him every sketch she would end up making of him and he would always admire them a bit as she would go on about some technical stuff of shading and pencil types she had used.

His hands trembled a bit as he picked it up and stared at it, feeling a knot getting tight in his throat. He took a deep inhale after some minutes of looking at it then left it on his bed , his hands soon reaching to his head as he placed his elbows on his knees and rested there a bit, in an attempt to gather his thoughts.

His thoughts were swirling around creating a mess however one thing was pretty clear in his mind and that was that this was your doing. He didn't know that you had that sketchbook but it also made sense that you did, since he had searched for it back then but wasn't able to find it. Was this how you knew about their relationship? Was this all you had in your hands ? He wasn't sure however that wasn't his current worry. The biggest question was  why were you making such actions now of all times. Were you trying to pull something  on him? If yes what was it exactly?

He stood from his bed and took his phone out of the pocket of his pants and calmly proceeded to call LeeGuk and inform him of this as he didn't plan on taking any actions that would be rushed and in his current state of mind, truth was that he wasn't able to think clearly, so LeeGuk was his best option on avoiding to make any mistakes.

"Y/n is making moves. She left me a sketch that she made on my commode."He told him as soon as he heard his voice picking up the call and then he waited for him to reply as he closed his eyes, feeling not well prepared for whatever was that you were trying to do.

"Sounds like a warning. Did you do anything?" LeeGuk asked him and he replied with a simple 'No' even though in his mind returned the argument he had had with you at the hospital however it seemed too far fetched for you to have gotten that angry just because he was being a bit controlling of your actions.

"Play it safe for now. Continue with being nice to her as we had originally decided. Be more touchy too if you will." LeeGuk's words annoyed him just be listening as he really didn't want to do anything from the things he was saying nor was in the best of moods to pretend .

"Aren't you asking too much of me?" He complained with a clear unpleasant facial expression then he  heard LeeGuk laugh as he was imagining his face.

"She is trying to confuse you so you have to confuse her too. For now i can't really find you another solution. Just go and pretend like you are falling for her and don't call me again for tonight, I am busy." He scoffed at his words then looked shocked at his phone as his friend had just hang up on him.

"How dare he- He seriously- Aish!" He murmured angrily before throwing his phone on the bed and proceeded to take his shower , in hopes that he would have calmed himself enough till dinner time.

In hopes that he will be able to act well enough when he sees you.
