Jungkook's POV

My whole life I thought I was a nobody. Someone that was discarded and disregarded. I've been treated like a lepper, a disease, a virus. No one has ever cared for me until I met my Jin hyung. He gave me a chance and that was all I ever needed. And yet, he still gave me hope and a sense of belief in myself. He saw talents in me that I didn't know I even had and he gave me opportunities to hone that talent. But the biggest gift he's ever given me; he's born my children. My lineage and my legacy that I never thought I'd ever have.

And for someone who grew up knowing he had nothing and no one, that had been the biggest thing ever. And now, after some miracle, and through an association of my Jin hyung, I've discovered my true parentage and my true lineage. I'm not a nobody anymore. I have a father, one that has been mourning my loss for years now. And he's about to give me another gift, something that I could never have gotten if I didn't have him.

As we enter the gates to Jin hyung's parents home, my breathing becomes unsteady and I'm nervous as hell but my father exudes confidence. He even looks intimidating. I've only known him for a week now but I already like who he is as a person. He's successful because he has worked hard. He has grit, power and determination. And I feel I need to borrow some of that right now.

Jin hyung insisted on coming with us but he wasn't feeling well all morning, throwing up and feeling queasy, so I sent Sangook off with Namjoon to spend the day and Jin hyung is now resting at home.

"Mr Shin Jihun and Mr Jeon Jungkook to see Mr Kim Sangmi."

We were duly announced and we walked into a drawing room with high ceilings and tasteful modern furniture. Jin hyung's father made his entrance and we all exchanged pleasantries.

"So, what can I do for you men today?" Mr Kim asks, settling on a leather couch opposite my father and myself.

"We're here to talk to you about my son, Jungkook and your son, Seokjin." My father begins.

"Your son? This man is your son, the one who's been living with my Jin?"

My father nods.

"But I was under the impression that he had no family. It seems that I've had incorrect information."

"No Mr Kim. You have been given correct information. It's a long story and I'm going to ask you to bear with me until I'm done. It's only fair that you understand the full story."

Mr Kim accepts my father's reason and he proceeds to tell his story to a shocked and surprised Mr Kim. As I listen to my father recall his young days and his obvious love for my mother, I begin to wonder what my life would have been like had I grown up with my parents. But I can't change the past and trying to think of 'what ifs' and 'what could haves', will just sink me into a place that it took me long enough to leave behind.

Mr Kim looks at me with interest when my father speaks of my being born in an orphanage and being raised in foster care. I step up here and give my own story of my miserable life on the streets. I don't want to hide anything from this man. It's better for him to hear it from me instead of the media who I am sure will dissect my life if Mr Kim accepts me.

He seems intrigued how I met his son and that his son took me in without their knowledge. I spoke of our life together every step of the way until today where I've come to ask for his permission to marry his son.

He stands up and paces the room. We watch him and wait for his verdict. At this point I'm neither nervous or apprehensive. I just want this over with so I can be with my family. I miss my Jin hyung and our Gookie. And I'm worried about him being alone at the flat.

"I have thought on all you have said Mr Shin. It's unfortunate that your son was born out of wedlock and lived this kind of life. I can empathise with you but that's about all I can do. I can't accept him as my son in law."

"Then I'm sure you can't accept Sangook as your grandson either since he too was born out of wedlock," my father deadpans, "and let's not forget that your son is also expecting their second child who will also be born out of wedlock."

"Shin! You cannot come here and insult me and my traditions! I do not accept them and neither do I accept him as my son!"

My father laughs lightly. "But you accepted a broke, gold digger like Namjoon and his parents to enter your lives and try to steal your company right from under your nose? You even accepted Sangook then. Why? Because he came from 'good stock'? Please Mr Kim, don't insult my intelligence. If it wasn't for my son, your grandchild and mine would have been dead now. And you know all of this. Then who would be your heir? Jungkook is my heir and I accept him to take over my legacy of over a 100 billion dollar company. He can find a thousand people like your son to be his partner in life and believe me, they will throw themselves at his feet but he wants your son. He loves Seokjin. He loves his children. Shouldn't that be enough?

You don't value your son Mr Kim. Ask me, someone who didn't have his child, how I've suffered daily without him. Don't be a fool. Accept his love for your son and make them a complete family."

I looked at my father with tears in my eyes. "It's okay father. Please don't worry. I will still love my Jin hyung and my children without his blessings. I will never forsake them. Let's go."

My father was seething but he soon composed himself and patted his clothes down before exiting the drawing room.

"Mr Shin. Wait. Please."

My father and I both turned around to face Mrs Kim, Jin hyung's mother. We bowed low to her. She walked over to me and cupped my cheeks lovingly.

"I accept you my son and don't worry about anything, we will take over all the plans for the wedding. Did you say my son is pregnant?" I nodded. "Oh my God. I'm coming with you now to see him."

"What are you saying Chunhei?" Mr Kim asks his wife.

"Just be quiet Sangmi! I will not lose my son and my grandchildren over your fake pride and silly ego! My son needs me and I think we put him through enough his whole life. He's been a great son to us and a wonderful man. He's never once complained or denied us. He deserves his own happiness."

Mr Kim lowers his head in shame. "You are right my love. I'll come with you."

"Does that mean, you accept my son, Mr Kim?" My father asks him.

"Please call me Sangmi and yes, I accept Jungkook."

I smiled widely. My dream of marrying my hyung will finally be realised.
