Chp 7 Love in an envelope
I have a question...
What should Jungkook call tae??
.
.
.
It was early morning,Jihyo with a bright smile on her face called everyone in the living room
"Ma, taehyung,eunchae, everybody come here"
She said in a loud voice, tae who was getting ready, came out of his room with his tie hanging on his neck and sleeves uncuffed.
Everyone came to the living room after hearing Jihyo’s voice.
“Eomma, what happened?”
Taehyung asked, and Jihyo replied with a big smile
“Taehyung my son, the girl we liked… her family said yes! They’ve called us to meet. You’re going to get married soon! I’m so happy for you.”
Everyone was left shocked, some with surprise, some with jealousy (and we all know who the jealous ones are).
“What? The girl’s family agreed?”
Jihyo nodded happily
“Yes, they want to meet us this Sunday.”
“That’s great news, bhabhi,” Eunchae said.
(A/n :- I'll use the word bhabhi instead of sister in law because i find it too long and weird to write and same goes with grandma too, I'll use dadi)
“Yay! We’re going to have a new bhabhi in the house,” Yoona said excitedly.
Taehyung, however, looked emotionless.
“Why did you say yes without asking me, eomma?”
“I liked the girl, so I said yes. Here’s her photo. Take a look when you have time.”
She handed him an envelope. Taehyung took it silently, but felt a strange tightness in his chest. The face of the girl from before suddenly flashed in his mind. He looked disturbed.
“I’m getting late for work. I’m leaving.”
He went to his room, grabbed his suitcase, and left with a frown.
Meanwhile
Jihyo looked at Minjun and his wife sana, then noticed Tzuyu, who looked sad.
“Tzuyu beta, why do you look upset? You should be happy for your elder brother.”
“He’s not my brother. I’ve never considered him one.”
Tzuyu shouted tearfully.
“Tzuyu! That’s no way to talk to elders!”
Grandma scolded her. Tzuyu ran to her room crying.
“Why do you always scold my daughter, Maa? Try saying something to your dear daughter-in-law for once!”
Minjun snapped.
“Look how you’re speaking! No wonder your daughter talks like that.”
Jihyo snapped back.
“Enough, Jihyo! Sit down!”
Grandma said sternly.
“Why should she be silent? You’ve spoiled her too much! I wish she had died along with my brother--”
(SLAP)
Grandma slapped Minjun. Jihyo’s eyes filled with tears. She collapsed onto the sofa in shock. Jimin and Eunchae rushed to console her. Yoona stood behind her with tearful eyes. Woojin got between his dad and grandma.
“How can you say that! What would your dead brother will think from heaven?”
Sana looked shocked and held her husband’s hand.
“Maa, at least don’t raise your hand on him in front of the children.”
“He wasn’t like this before. Since he married you, he’s changed. You fill his ears!” grandma exclaimed
“Maa, you slapped me, I didn’t say a word. But don’t insult my family!”
“Then control your tongue if you want to stay here.”
“Dadi, it’s not just the elder brother who runs this house, I also contribute. So don’t talk about my parents again.”
Woojin said angrily.
“There was no need to drag my son into this! Everything was going fine until your father and sister ruined it all.”
Jihyo shouted.
“Jihyo maa, please calm down.”
Jimin said, gently massaging her hand.
“Yes eomma, let’s go to our room.”
Yoona added, holding her mom’s shoulder.
“Yes bhabhi, come.”eunchae said
They all left together. Minjun’s family left angrily too.and grandma too angrily left toward her room
Now only Soya and her eomma Jiya were left, happily eating parathas and enjoying the show.
“Maa, have some shame! A whole drama just happened and you’re eating parathas like nothing!”
“Oh let them be. Why should I go hungry because of their nonsense? Now go to the kitchen and tell the maid to bring me tea.”
“Are you the daughter of Bakasur or what?”
“Get lost before I hit you with my slipper!”
Jiya said, lifting her slipper.
“No no, I’m going!”
Soya ran off.
“Useless children! One never listens, the other stays at the hospital all day, and my husband....ugh, don’t even ask! Ever since he went to his mother’s house, he hasn’t returned! When he does, I’ll deal with him too. Ugh! My head hurts.......WHERE IS MY TEA?”
With grandma
She angrily came inside and sat on her rocking chair, taking her medicine box, she took the balm and applied in on her forehead
"Oh lord, please give wisdom to my children. No one in this house knows how to speak properly. Everyone is lost in their own world…......So many fights, just because that girl’s family said yes.
What if these arguments are happening because of her?
Are we making a mistake? If there’s so much conflict already…
what will happen once she actually enters this house?
I don’t know if she’ll bring goodness with her or trouble…
Oh God, please protect this house under Your divine shelter.Keep Your hand always on the heads of the members of this family. "
At night
Koo after finishing all her work, came to her room to sleep, She opens her hair and reaches for the drawer beside the bed to keep her hair clip.
That’s when she finds the same envelope.
.. Yes, the one her father had given her.
She freezes for a moment. Quietly, she sits down fully on the bed and pulls the envelope out, running her hand slowly over its surface.
“Inside this... is the photo of my future husband.....Should I open it? Why am I feeling so nervous? My heart is pounding so fast.”
She places a hand over her chest, and slowly begins to open the envelope. She takes the photo out and quickly shuts her eyes.
“Oh God, please.....don’t let him be some old man.”
Gently, she opens one eye and looks at the picture and she gasps in surprise.
The man in the photo, her future husband, is stunningly handsome, standing stylishly next to an old car.
“Ahhhhh... he’s so handsome! Since when did I become this lucky? I can’t believe he’s going to be my husband. Thank goodness he’s not some old uncle... I must admit, Appa really does have great taste!”
She hugs the photo close to her chest and lays down on the bed with a big smile on her face.
But after a moment, doubt creeps in
“But looks aren’t everything.Personality matters too.What if he’s arrogant? Hot-tempered? He does look like someone who’s full of attitude. Will I really be able to spend my whole life with him?”
She whispered all of this while gazing at the photo.
Otherside
Taehyung after coming home all tired had his dinner in the silent dining table where all the family members were there yet silence was aloud
He came into his room after eating and immediately went inside the washroom to take a quick bath and change into comfortable clothes.
After freshening up, he took his suitcase and sat on the king size bed, he opened his suitcase and that's when he found the same envelope which his mother gave him this morning, the same envelope which he was trying to avoid from morning and yet here he was convincing himself whether he should open it or not
But his intrusive thoughts won, he picked up the envelope and opened it sliding the pic out, he flipped the photo and looked at the same beautiful girl which he saw in the picture that morning
"I-is she the one?"
His heart missed a beat, he was staring at the photo, and then immediately kept it back in the envelope and kept it inside the drawer next to the bed
"I should focus on work and sleep"
Saying that he got busy in his work, but somewhere in between his mind was drifting back to the girl in the photo, his heart was begging to take one look again but his mind refused making the poor hear ache.
In yoonmin's room
Jimin was sitting on the bed folding yoongi's clothes, and yoongi was inside the washroom taking a bath
He came out in his night clothes wiping his hair with the towel, he looked at jimin who was folding clothes
"Why was everyone so quite on the dining table?"
Jimin startled and looked at him and said in a low voice
"Umm dadi, slapped minjun appa that's why"
"Why?"
"Um actually minjun appa was talking bad about jihyo maa that's why"
Yoongi nodded standing infront of the mirror combing his wet hair
"And what happened to elder brother?"
"Actually,jihyo maa like a girl for elder brother that's why I think"
Yoongi nodded
"What’s all this mess you’ve spread on the bed? A man comes home tired, and now he’s not even allowed to sleep?"
Jimin hurriedly got up from the bed collecting the clothes in her arms
"Sorry, sorry, I was just folding your clothes"
Yoongi said nothing, as he watched jimin collecting the clothes from the bed and walking towards the closet , he layed on the bed as he stared at the ceiling, jimin soon came and layed beside him with a respectful distance between them.
"There's a balm in the drawer next to you,give it to me"
Jimin nodded as she reached for the balm, and gave it to yoongi, while giving yoongi noticed a burn mark on jimin's hand, he caught her wrist
"How did this happen?"
"Umm i was roasting the roti, that's when it happened"
"Then why do you use your hand to flip the roti, wasn't there any spatula?"
Jimin free her hand from his grip
"It's nothing jii, go to sleep, it's already midnight "
Yoongi hummed as jimin turned around facing her back towards him, he was staring at the ceiling with a blank face , he's knows that after their marriage something had changed between the them, the love they used to have before marriage is not the same anymore, somewhere in between a rift has began to form.
And with this intrusive thoughts he went into deep slumber

The next morning
Kook, Mr jeon ,Minho and Mrs Jeon was sitting in the dining table having breakfast
While eating Mr jeon asked
"Did you like him?"
Kook choked on her food, Mrs Jeon handed her a glass of water as she chucked it down
"You okay?"
Mrs Jeon asked making koo nod her head
" So I asked did you like him?"
Kook nodded looking down
"He's good"
"So is that a yes?"
Kook shyly nodded, Mr jeon smiled as he combed her hair
"My princess, appa will give every tiny precious things of the world to you"
Kook looked at him with teary eyes
"Appa, if I marry him, i have to leave you all, how am I gonna live without you'll?"
Mr jeon hugged her from side keeping her head in his chest and said with a tearful voice
"Appa is gonna miss his princess so much, you're gonna be okay there my princess, i have heard that your soon to be husband is very wise, gentleman, don't worry he's gonna talk care of you"
Kook nodded her head
"They're gonna come to see you this Sunday, doll up like a beautiful princess you're, appa loves you so much "
"I love you too appa"
Mrs Jeon eyes for filled with love too, and Minho he was trying not to cry hard like a baby, and why not, The one he’s been troubling since childhood, the one he’s always annoyed and loved deeply, the one whose life he made difficult in a playful way since they were kids, she’s soon going to leave this house.
So, of course, his crying like a child is justified.
Koo looked at him with her side eyes and saw him shedding tears
"Aww oppa, why are you crying,please don't cry"
She said getting up from her seat and walking towards her brothers seat,she hugged him,caressing her brother's hair, who was crying like a child on her shoulder
"Opp-oppa don't cry,eomma see na he's crying, tell him not too"
Mrs Jeon kept her hand on his shoulders
"Minho, my child please control yourself, she isn't going anywhere now, there's plenty of time left till her marriage"
She consoles him, but does it work?, Nahh, his arms tightened more around koo's waist as he cried more
"I'm-I'm gonna m-miss her so much"
"I'll miss you too oppa"
Kook leaned and kissed his forehead
"If you keep crying like this, I'll take an ugly picture of you and will post it in your friend's group"
"Do-Don't you dare"
Minho said breaking the hug, wiping his nose with tissue
"I'm not crying, who said I'm crying"
"Oh really?"
Kook giggled as he nodded his head
