Hours later they arrived in South Korea and were greeted by warm weather. Jenni smiled to herself, happy to be back home after some time.

The first stop they made would be at Yuri's house that she owned before going over to the Park's residance. Jenni couldn't explain it but even though she was happy to be back she still couldn't shake her feeling of anxiousness. 

She didn't even notice that she had been squeezing and rubbing her hands together with Namjoon's, who didn't even complain or fidget as he sat next to her in the car ride. 

One look at his face and her nerves eased a bit. She didn't know what it was about him but he always managed to make her feel safe and secure even if he didn't say a word.

"Jenni-ah, go get cleaned up then we'll go over to see Hyorin and Seulong understand?" Yuri asked as they pulled up to a big white house surrounded by a black metal fence and a big front yard. "Neh," Jenni's reply was quiet as her nerves started to get the best of her again. Why am I so nervous to see my own family again?

"Do we have to do that today? She just got back and she must be tired after the long flight. Can't we wait till tomorrow morning?" Namjoon spoke up shocking not only Jenni but Yuri as well. He wasn't one to voice out his opinions or go against Yuri and his father. But he couldn't help but try to put some time between the moment they had and when Jenni would get hurt.

He knew it was pointless and inevitable but still he couldn't help but try despite knowing that in the end it would all be in vain. Jenni would find out sooner than later that she had been abandoned, lied to, and abandoned again.

Yuri wasn't sure what it was but she had a feeling that the boy knew what was going on. The look he gave her now was something that sent chills down her spine and spoke the unspoken of 'i know what you did.' 

"We can't continue to put it off Namjoon," was Yuri's cold reply as she stared back into his dark eyes that held accusation and something along the lines of hate and disgust. But Yuri brushed it off. After all, Namjoon was just a boy in her eyes so why should she care about what opinions he had toward her.

Jenni gently squeezed Namjoon's right hand in her left," its okay. I'm fine and auntie Yuri is right, we should go see them as soon as possible. I wouldn't want to keep them waiting any longer." 

Namjoon's throat felt dry and his chest felt as if someone were putting pressure on him. He could only manage a single nodd back at Jenni who smiled brightly at him.

As Jenni went off to prepare, Yuri pulled Namjoon over to the living room and without warning... she slapped him across his left cheek. "How dare you question me, how dare you even look at me as if I'm guilty of doing something wrong. You have no idea whats going on!" She half shrieked, half whispered as she tried to stare down Namjoon.

Namjoon was stuck in a state of shock as he stared down at the ground. Never had he been touched the way Yuri had just put her hands on him. He was fighting to hold back his anger and tears as he clenched and unclenched his fist.

Yuri scoffed as she straightened up her poster. "If you so much as utter a word about anything to Jenni then you can say goodbye to your trust and everything else that comes along with it. I don't know if you realize this but without me you and that father of yours would have nothing. Nothing," Yuri emphasized at the end before turning on her heels and walking off.

Leaving an enraged young boy to drop down onto his knees in defeat. Someday, someday I'm going to return everything you've ever done back to you. He vowed to himself silently as turns broke free from his eyes and rolled down his cheeks.

"Auntie I'm read-oh-where's Namjoon oppa? Isn't he coming?" Jenni paused in the doorway leading into the living room as she glanced around and only spotted Yuri waiting for her. "Ani, he's already sleeping. Lets go before it gets to late," Yuri quickly ushered Jenni out the door before she could ask anymore questions.

Jenni glanced back at the house in disappointment before stepping into the car. But I really wanted him to come with me..

The drive to the Park's house was short and all to familiar to Jenni who took in her surroundings. Old memories flashed through her mind as she reminisced on all the fun things she use to do with Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook. I missed them so much

Pretty soon they were in front of the house Jenni had grown up in and due to her excitement, she quickly undid her seatbelt and jumped out of the car. Without waiting for Yuri, she ran up to the door and rang the bell as she waited for someone to answer. 

The door slowly creaked open and Seulong's face was the first thing to appear in front of Jenni," appa!" Jenni wrapped her arms around him tightly only to recieve a gentle pat on her head.

"Oh Jenni. Its you again," the last part was directed toward Yuri who stood behind Jenni watching with an eyebrow raised slightly. 

"Jen-jen!" Hyorin called as she made her way downstairs with her arms held open wide. Unlike her husband, she was happy to see the little girl she had raised up. "Eomma!" Jenni hugged Hyorin around her waist tightly as she also wrapped her arms around Jenni's shoulders.

"Eomma, where's oppa?" 

"Oh-uh, he's not here right now sweety but I'm sure he'll be back soon," Hyorin quickly made something up. In truth though, Jimin didn't know Jenni was returning and Seulong had sent him off with the Kim's the day before. Jenni felt hurt that he wasn't there to greet her but nodded her head in understanding, telling herself she would have all the time in the world to see him later.

Yuri and Seulong stood back and watched with apparent frowns on their faces. As soon as Hyorin caught sight of their expressions she quickly took a step back, away from Jenni.

A look of confusion crossed Jenni's features as she looked between the adults. But before she could open to ask what was going on Seulong exhaled loudly and suggested they all take a seat in the living room.

Jenni sat on the longer couch in between Yuri and Hyorin while Seulong sat on the love seat across from them. Again Jenni looked between the adults, silently asking them to explain what was going on.

"Jen-jen remember what I told you that no matter what happens, we will always be your fam-," before Hyorin could finish her sentence Seulong cutt her off by clearing his throat loudly. "Jenni there is something we need to tell you and I hope you undestand why we kept it from you."
