[A/n POV]
The brothers were all sitting inside a cafe waiting for Hoseok and Jia while chatting and goofing around with eachother. Namjoon and Yoongi were talking about something, whereas Jin and Jungkook were playfully fist fighting eachother and Jimin and Taehyung were waiting for their food to arrive.
As they all had arrive before Hoseok they had ordered food after asking the guy for Jia's food preferences and allergies. Although Taehyung didn't wanted to order for the female, Jin threatened him with his sandal causing him to order Jia's food first before theirs.
Soon Jia and Hoseok came and sat down beside the others. Hoseok took a seat between Namjoon and Jungkook whereas Jia situated herself beside Jin. Jungkook peak into Hoseok's bag and when saw one box, furrowed his eyebrows and asked him
Jungkook - You took two hours to buy a suit? Just one suit?
Hoseok - No, not just mine. It took a little time to get her dress.
Hearing Hoseok, Jin now asked him
Seokjin - So it took you both two hours to find two outfits, each one for you both.
Hoseok dramatically gasped hearing Jin and said
Hoseok - How could you ask me this!? Hyung atleast you should know how much time and effort it takes to find the perfect outfit.
Yoongi - Here he goes again.
Hearing his comment, the others chuckle while Hoseok look at him pointedly but that didn't faze Yoongi a bit also. He calmly look at his brother and said
Yoongi - What? Just spitting facts.
Hoseok - Hyung!
Everyone laughed this time seeing Hoseok and Yoongi bicker like that. Jia look at the brothers with a small smile which didn't go unnoticed by Jin and so he leaned towards her a bit and said
Seokjin - Very soon you will be a part of this bickering as well.
Jia smile hearing him and nodded. Soon their orders arrived and everyone started to eat while making little chats here and there. It was mostly like the Hyung line and sometimes Jungkook talking to Jia from time to time to not let her feel left out and the soulmates were ignoring her existence all together and joining their brothers in their conversations.
Jia couldn't help but remember "them" while witnessing the bond of the Kim brothers. She couldn't help but remember those memories she have of them at the back of her mind. It surely has been a couple of years since she has spoken to them but she still misses them immensely from time to time.
Especially him. She misses him very much and whenever now she sees the Kim brothers her mind goes back to the times she has spent with him.
?? - It seems like your shopping is done.
Jia's thoughts were put on a stop by Naira's voice. The brothers and Jia turn around only to find Naira and Sung-ho standing there with two bags. The parents came near the kids and sat down beside them all.
Namjoon - Got your dream suit and dress?
Sung-ho - Yes. And I fell all over in love with Naira once again.
The brothers chuckle hearing their father while Jia cough a little looking towards her mother which made her shove Jia playfully with a smile on her face. After that the soon to become family spend some more time with eachother before Naira and Jia have to go back.
As Sung-Ho bid farewell to the mother and daughter duo, Jia couldn't help but look at Hoseok and Seokjin who when felt her stare smile and wave to her causing her to wave back at them. The interaction between them didn't go unnoticed by the others - The brothers were suprise and shock, somehow angry as well (Jimin and Taehyung), Sung-Ho was amused and Naira was happy.
After the interaction the mother and daughter duo started to walk towards the parking area for their car. As they both were walking side by side, Jia couldn't help but glance at her mother from time to time while a thought seem to roam around her mind.
After seeing the brothers, Jia couldn't help but remember the times she and Naira spent with him. How he thought of Naira as his mother as well. So seeing that Naira is getting married now, Jia couldn't help but think of talking about inviting him to the wedding with Naira.
Jia - Mom.
Naira look at her to see Jia staring at her. She have noticed how her daughter was glancing at her side from time to time and wanted to ask if she was okay or not but decided to wait for Jia to speak, as she could sense that she wanted to say something.
Naira - Yes cherry.
Jia - Don't you miss him?
Naira knew exactly whom she was talking about and the truth was that she misses the boy very much. And not just him but all of them.
Naira - There isn't a day that goes by without me missing them. They are like my kids as well and so staying away from them breaks my heart but I also know that wherever they are, they are doing well just like you here. But why did you asked? Any specific reason?
Jia look down at the ground beneath her for a moment before turning her gaze back to her mother and said in a low voice
Jia - No.... it's just that.....you are getting married to uncle Sung-ho and so...... shouldn't they be invited? Don't you want them and him to be there for you as well?
Naira smile hearing her and said
Naira - I do cherry, I do wish for them to be here with us but will you be okay? If you are doing this because of my happiness then don't cherry, your health matters the most to me. And I'm sure they will give me their blessings from there through their hearts.
Jia - It's not that mom, it's just that.... not only us but they also think of us as their family. They think of you and treat you as their mother and today their mother is going to start a new chapter of her life, so I thought that they would want to witness that as well.
Naira smile hearing Jia and ruffled her hair a bit causing the girl to gaze up at her. As her mother, she could feel the anticipation and nervousness in her which caused Naira to crouch down beside her and holding her shoulders, said
Naira - I know you are feeling nervous cherry but don't be. If you feel uncomfortable then we don't have to do this, you know that right.
Jia - I want to mom. It's true that I'm not ready for that life but it doesn't meam that I don't want them to be here in our life when you're about to start such a beautiful chapter. I want them all to be there for you, cheering you, blessing you and be happy for you.
Naira smile proudly, while she felt the brim of her eyes tear up in joy.
Naira - You know cherry if your father was still alive, he would have been very proud of you. *Wipes the tear away* Okay then we are going to call them and you *points at Jia* are going to talk to him.
Jia widened her eyes in an instant hearing Naira and was about to shook her head, indicating a no when Naira said
Naira - If you talk to him, then he would definitely come, I'm sure of it. Please for me, please cherry.
Jia sighed, knowing she won't win against her mother's puppy eyed expression and so said
Jia - Fine. But you will be calling them.
Naira - Okay deal.
After shaking hands in a comical way, the mother and daughter duo went away towards their car. Meanwhile, the Kim family was going home in their limo when Sung-ho notice the awkwardness in the car. After the interaction between Seokjin, Hoseok and Jia, Taehyung and Jimin aren't talking to their big brothers which have caused the silent atmosphere.
Sung-ho sighed and said while looking at Taehyung and Jimin who were staring at their phones.
Sung-ho - Boys seriously -_-?
Taehyung lift his head up and with a confusion filled face said
Taehyung - What dad?
Sung-ho - Taehyung, Jimin c'mon why are you both not speaking with Jin and Hobi? Hmm?
Hearing the question Jimin look beside him at Hoseok who was already staring at him with a smile on his face. Hoseok was trying to make Jimin smile as he knows that he can't stand to be expressionless infront of him but to no avail.
Jimin turn back to look at Sung-ho and said
Jimin - Because.....
Sung-ho - Because?
Jimin - Because....they...they wave at her.
Sung-ho - Okay....wait what?
Jimin - They smile at her and they wave at her.
Sung-ho - She is your soon to be sister. What are they supposed to do? Give her silent treatment!?
Taehyung *whisper* - That would have been great.
Sung-ho hearing Taehyung, look at him with a done expression on his face causing the boy to look to the other side. Jimin sigh and said
Jimin - Dad it's true that we have accepted ms. Naira but Jia....me and Taehyung can't accept her as our sister although I can't say the same about the others.
Sung-ho - I am not going to force you boys to accept her or Naira, it's all upto you but what I'm seeing is that you boys are not talking to your own brothers and that shouldn't happen. Just because two new members are coming doesn't mean that you brothers will start drifting away from eachother. Jimin, have you ever been able to not smile while being in Hoseok's presence or have you not ran to him whenever you felt depressed?
Hearing him, Jimin shook his head in no and then glanced at Hoseok who was looking at him sadly. Although he was angry at his brother but he can never accept sadness on his sunshine like brother's face and so, he gave his closed eye smile and hugged Hoseok tightly causing the older male to return it with the same intensity.
Sung-ho smile at the duo before turning towards Taehyung and said
Sung-ho - And Taehyung whom do you go to when you need to rant your frustration out? Who lend his ears to listen to your voice? Who is the person who comforts you whenever you have nightmares in the middle of the night?
Taehyung look up at Sung-ho for a moment before his eyes went towards Seokjin who was looking down at his lap. Although he was upset on the fact that Seokjin and Jia have decided to give this relation a chance, but he can't do anything regarding that as it is completely their choice and decision as individuals.
And maybe because he knew that, he was angry at Seokjin. Taehyung sighed inaudibly and put his hand forward towards Seokjin and called him
Taehyung - Jinnie hyung.
Seokjin, hearing the nickname that Taehyung uses, looks up from his lap and when saw the his hand open towards him, he smile and kept his own on his hand causing Taehyung to intertwined their hands together.
Seeing the kids making up, cause Sung-ho's smile to widened even more. He was about to say something more when suddenly his phone rang up causing him to get it out from his pocket and when look over at the caller id, his facial expression changed drastically.
Jungkook, who was sitting right beside him, when notice his facial expression nudged Yoongi, who was dozing off, and pointed towards their father.
Yoongi seeing the serious expression on Sung-ho's face, furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and asked
Yoongi - Is everything alright dad?
Sung-ho turn to look at Yoongi and shook his head.
Sung-ho - David is calling. I think he has gotten a new information.
Saying so, he picked up the call and started talking. On the other hand, hearing the name the boys' ears perked up as they know that if David is calling then it means they soon have to go on a mission.
And that's exactly what happened after the call. Sung-ho cut the call after thanking David and then turning to face his kids said
Sung-ho - David has gotten a new info and it's 100% guaranteed correct.
Namjoon - What is it, dad?
Sung-ho - David has gotten a lead that our rival, mr. Byun had kidnapped over hundred girls ranging from 13, 14 to their late 20s and is going to sell them off to the people belonging to the higher society tonight at a auction.
The boys hearing this look over at eachother before giving eachother a nod and then look back at their father, who seeing their interaction, said
Sung-ho - This mission is going to be very risky so take Treasure and TXT with you all, they will be a great help in this. Make small groups and save the girls as they all are put in different rooms in different levels of the building. David will contact you Namjoon and will sent you the room numbers so that it won't be a problem.
Namjoon nodded and said
Namjoon - Okay and don't worry dad we will be careful and will come back safely. We all will.
Sung-ho nodded and told the driver to turn the car around and get them to their base. Soon the family arrive at their destination, the Kim Enterprises. They all came out of the car and went inside the building.
Soon they all arrive at the top floor of the building where the boys saw David, Sung-ho's right hand man standing, waiting for them. Sung-ho shook hands with him before they all went inside the conference room to discuss about the mission that is going to commence tonight.
They all took their seats before David got up and said
David - I assume that Sung-ho have already informed you boys about the information I got my hands on right.
The boys nodded causing David to reply
David - Okay then let's start with the structure. As per my sources the auction is going to be held at the Golden Holm Palace, which is a 30 storey building and in the 21st floor this auction will be held. There are four groups of kidnapped women that are going to be held hostage in room no.s 210, 211, 215, and 216 that are situated on the 24th and 25th floors. There will be ten bodyguards situated outside of the rooms and inside each room there will be four bodyguards situated. The 21st floor will be filled with people of the high society with cctv cameras in every corner so you boys have to very careful while making a plan as these will be the impediments you all will have to face.
Namjoon, who was thinking something, nodded hearing David and then got up from his seat causing his brothers to get up as well. He look towards his father and with a small yet confident smile said
Namjoon - Those girls will be reunited with their families, safe and sound, don't worry dad. Now if you both gentlemen excuse us.
Saying so he look at Seokjin and nodded, which gave him and the others a signal to get out of the conference room. One by one they all got out of the room and started to walk out of the building towards their car when Jimin asked
Jimin - So what's the plan hyung?
Namjoon - Let's go to our main hidden base first, I will tell you all about the plan there. And Jin hyung contact Treasure and Taehyung contact TXT and tell them to come to the base immediately.
Seokjin/Taehyung - Okay Joon./ Yes, hyung.
Namjoon - Let's show mr. Byun what happens when someone messes with the Kims.
