"THE BEACH!" Ji Ae screams and jumps out of the car and onto the sandy beach. She kicks off her shoes and runs.

"Ji Ae stop running or you'll trip!" I shouted and as always she ignores my warning, but instead of tripping she cries out.

"Ow!" She looks at her foot. 

"Why did you take off your shoes?" I huffed and grabbed her sandals. "This is why I made you wear sandals. You can still wear these in the water." 

"But I wanted to feel the sand!" She pouts and I gave her a look. "Ok can I have them back now? The sand's hot."

I smile and crouch down to help her put them back on.

"Do you want to play on the beach or do you want to go inside? Jihyun wants to go inside." Jungkook calls out from the driveway. 

"Inside." Ji Ae looks at me and I carried her back to the villa. 

Jungkook shows us our rooms and goes to get our luggage since we were staying for the weekend. I opened the curtains and stared at the ocean view from mine and Jungkook's room.

I looked back when I heard footsteps and my children came back wearing their swimsuits.

"We wanna play outside!" 

"Let me get changed then we can go ok?" I ushered them out of the room and went through my luggage for my swimsuit.

I changed and came out of the bathroom just as Jungkook walked inside with the last luggage.

His eyes trace my body and I clapped in front of his face. 

"Hey eyes up here." I smirked and grabbed my phone. "The kids want to play outside, Avery should be coming with Ina and her husband soon."

"The guys should be here soon as well." Jungkook goes to his luggage and takes out his swim trunks. "But we should have family time before they get here."

"Then hurry up, I want to get in the water already." I grin and went to find the kids. They were already halfway across the beach. I sighed and chased after them.

They began to splash in the water and look for seashells. I sat on a towel watching over them when someone covers my eyes. "Guess who..." 

"Hmm... I don't know... Jimin?" I grinned.

"Stop teasing." Jungkook scoffs and sits beside me.

"We're the only ones at the villa right now, what was the point of that." I shook my head and gazed at the kids. "They're seven years old now." 

"I know." Jungkook nods. 

"It's hard to believe that they're already seven. The grow up so fast." 

"Seven may seem like a short time, but there is still more moments to come. They have a lot of time before they become adults." Jungkook puts his arm around my shoulder and I leaned against him. "Let's enjoy them being children for now."

"Mommy! Daddy! Come play!" Jihyun shouts and we went to join them.

"Let's play a game of chicken!" Ji Ae suggests. "I want to play with daddy!"

"I want to play with mommy anyways." Jihyun huffs and they climb onto our shoulders. The twins put their hands together and start to push against each other.

"Wha!" Ji Ae shouts when Jihyun pushes and she starts to fall back. Jungkook and Ji Ae fall into the water and Jihyun and I laugh. We did a high five while the losers looked at us sourly. 

"Aw don't look so sad just because you lost." I pout. "We're just better than you."

"Rematch." Jungkook stands up and sits Ae on his shoulders again. 

We played two more matches, us winning the last one making it 2:1. 

"I suggest that we stop here." I smile and help them up.

"About time!" Someone shouts from the beach and we all turned our heads. Avery stood there with Ina, Chan, and another man I assumed to be Ina's husband. 

We went back to shore and dried ourselves off. The four of them wished the twins a happy birthday and we went back inside.

"When did you invite Chan." I whispered to Avery.

"It's been so busy at the company that I didn't even have time to tell you. Chan and I are dating." 

"Really?! Congratulations!" I gasped. "Who asked out who."

"Him obviously." She flips her hair. "That night I won the bet, it was so obvious of his feelings after that. He pulled me out 3 days ago and asked me out."

"If he liked you before that then he did a better job at hiding it than you did." I roll my eyes.

"Y/N!" Ina waves me over. "This is my husband, Hansol." 

"Hi." I smiled. "And sorry for the late congratulations."

"Thank you. It's nice to meet you." Hansol smiles back. "Ina has told me a lot about you." 

"I hope she didn't tell you about my high school moments." I glanced at her.

"There was no way I wasn't going to pass up telling anybody those stories." She smiles and takes a seat on the couch. 

"Aunt Avery!" The kids shout when she squashes them in a hug. 

Ina watches them and smiles. "They're so cute."

"They're cute but they're devils." I dry my hair with the towel. "You'll be getting your own soon, newborns are always the worst to deal with. Most of the time they sleep, they only wake up to eat or poop and when they do they cry nonstop." 

"Oh no." Hansol instantly pales.

"Well they'll have a wonderful aunt to help take care of them right?" 

I bit my lip. "Don't count on it, I already got my hands full. But you got Avery." 

"I wouldn't trust her to babysit my child." She sighs and watches Avery spin my daughter crazy fast. Ji Ae squeals in delight before Avery losses her footing. Just before she falls, Chan was there to catch the two of them.

"UNCLE TAEHYUNG IS HERE!" Taehyung bursts through the doors with Jimin. "Where are the kiddies?"

"Uncle Tae!" The twins run up to him and hug him.

Jimin stands awkwardly next to Taehyung and the twins turn to him and smile. "Hi Uncle Jimin." Jimin smiles back at them and wishes them a happy birthday which they accept. Ever since Jimin and I have officially ended things the twins have started to open up to him more and see the good side of him.

"You didn't bring Rose?" I asked him. "I would love to meet her." 

"Ah, she's currently in London. She sent over a gift for the twins." Jimin holds up a box which the twins take.

"She didn't have to." I watched them place it on the couch and open it. They pulled out a drone, they gasp and Taehyung helped him start it up. "They are getting spoiled this year." 

"It only shows how much everyone loves them." Jimin chuckles. 

Jimin's eyes drift down to my body and he blushes then looks away. I suddenly remembered that I was still in my swimsuit and blushed as well.

"I should go change, unless you all want to go to the beach?" 

They all agreed to to go the beach and the kids built a sandcastle with Taehyung, Chan, and Avery. Ina and Hansol were sitting on the sand talking to each other and Jimin stayed behind with Jungkook and I to help prepare for the barbecue later on.

"This reminds me of the time we went to Jace's summer house in our last year of high school. It was his birthday and we all had a barbecue." Jimin says and skewers some meat.

I suddenly remembered that night and laughed. "And then after the dinner we threw him into the ocean. We messed up his hair that he spent the whole day trying to do." 

"And then he said no one is allowed to his summer home anymore." Jimin sighs. 

"Jace was just kidding, the next month he threw a beach party there." 

"Really? I never knew." 

"Ahem." Jungkook clears his throat and we both turned to him. He was watching us with an angry look on his face. 

Jimin and I look back at each other and I giggle. "Does this big boy need more attention." I ruffle Jungkook's hair. 

"Yes." He grumbles while Jimin and I make fun of him.




A few hours before dinner, the kids open their presents. Avery had given them the polaroids, Ina and Hansol got them a children baking set after Ji Ae was interested in watching easy baking recipes on Youtube. Taehyung gave the twins his set of cameras and Jimin gave them wireless headphones.

"Thank you mommy!" They said after I handed them my present.

"And here is my present." Jungkook walks in with the two battery cars and the twins squeal.

"A car?!" Jihyun gasps and gets into the car.

"Not a real one since you're too young but it's a good practice." Jungkook ruffles his son's hair.

"This is amazing daddy!" Ji Ae starts driving around the living room accidentally bumping into a few things. "Oops." 

"Why don't you take it outside?" I suggested before they broke something and they drove the cars outside. "That's not exactly what I meant..." 

"I'll go with them." Jimin gets up.

"I'll go too." I said.

Jungkook gives me a look but I sent him one back. Trust me? Jungkook sighs and nods. I kissed his cheek then followed Jimin outside to the beach. 




Jungkook

I watched as Y/N left the villa with Jimin. They went to the beach where the kids were driving the cars in circles. At least they were where I could see them.

I knew that I shouldn't feel this way and I trust them but the way they were talking about their past earlier got me jealous. Jimin may have another now but they were their first loves and engaged before.

"You should stop being jealous, it isn't a good look on you." Taehyung says and pops a chip into his mouth. I looked back at him and he's staring out the window at the four of them as well. "She loves you, you shouldn't doubt her."

"Yea." I sigh.

"Hey boss man!" Avery shouts and I internally roll my eyes at her nickname for me. I turned around and saw her looking at my alcohol cabinet. "It isn't too early to drink and enjoy ourselves is it?" 

"Avery..." Chan looked horrid by his girlfriends frankness. At least someone remembered that I was still their boss.

"No it isn't. Let's drink!" Taehyung said as if it was his house and took the bottle of wine from Avery's hand and pops it open.

"I'll have a coke thank you." Ina says and her husband, the person I promoted to our financial head after I made Y/N my secretary, went to the kitchen to grab her a drink.

The doorbell rang and I went to answer it. I saw my aunt and uncle standing there with a smile. "Come in." I stepped aside for them. Everyone seemed to freeze when they saw the new couple. "I'm sure you know that they're my aunt and uncle. Y/N invited them to meet the twins." 

"Please treat us no different from everyone else." My aunt smiles and they continue to pour drinks and talk. "Where are the children?" She looks around the room.

"They're playing outside with Jimin and Y/N." I pointed out the window but I noticed that the four of them were missing. Where did they go? I furrowed my eyebrows and went outside. I looked around but they were no where to be seen. My heart started to pound and fear set in. 

"Y/N! Hyun! Ae! Where are you!" I shouted and everyone comes outside.

"What happened?" Avery frowns.

"Where are they?" Taehyung looks around.

"I don't know." I gritted my teeth. "I knew I shouldn't have left them alone with Jimin. I take my eyes off them for one second and he steals my family." 

"Trust them Jungkook." Taehyung said. "They probably went driving somewhere else or something came up." 

"I have to find them." I went towards my car. "Everyone can stay if they want but I'm not going to sit around." 

Taehyung sighs and suggests that some people should stay at the villa in case they come back and if others wanted, they could help search.

In the end, Ina and her husband stayed behind with my uncle and Chan. Avery, Taehyung, my aunt, and I went to look for them.

Just where did they go?




Y/N

The twins wanted to ride around city in their new cars so we followed them on the sidewalk. People turn their heads and move out of the way as the twins drive by. 

"They're really loving Jungkook's gift." Jimin said. 

"Let's just hope that the battery will be out soon so we can go back to the villa." I sighed and looked around the city. "Do you remember when we used to come here?" 

Jimin looks around at the familiar shops and smile. "Yea, we used to come here often when we were in middle school just to get those bread the old grandma makes." 

"Does she still sell them?" I told the kids to make a right to the bread shop that we were talking about. 

"I haven't been back in Korea in a while either, I wouldn't know." Jimin shrugs. "But I guess we'll find out."

After a couple minutes, we stood in front of a familiar bakery and the kids get out of their toy cars. 

"Why are we here mommy?" Ji Ae asks. 

"Mommy used to come here when she was just a few years older than you with Uncle Jimin." I told them. "They sell amazing bread here. We should bring some back for the others to have." 

The kids choose whatever bread interests them the most and I walked up to the counter.  "Excuse me, does Mrs. Yo still make her custard bread?" 

"Yes, how many would you like?" 

"Can we have six?" The saleslady takes them out of the display case and bags them. The kids bring their breads and we pay for everything. 

"Hurry up, I want to eat one." Jimin looks at me and I give him a bread and take one for myself. We take a bite and moan. "It tastes exactly the same." 

"This brings back so many memories." I take another bite and the children look at us. I gave them one each and they ate it.

"Delicious!" Jihyun exclaims and we stood in front of the shop finishing our bread before heading back.

"I can't believe that over 10 years that bread could still be one of the best I ever had." I licked my fingers which had some custard on them. "It's the one of the things I regretted while leaving." 

"Really?" Jimin laughs. 

"It's delicious! I couldn't imagine not trying it ever again. None of the ones in America tastes the same." 

Jimin slows down and frowns. "You never imagined coming back to Korea?" 

I froze and tried to say no but I couldn't. "I had no real reason to... I left hoping to end things, and a year after I did, you were engaged. There was nothing left for me in Korea, I just needed my kids with me to start new life." 

"You had friends, your parents. You came back for them." 

"Not because I wanted to Jimin." I sighed. "I would've been happy to stay in America, I could just send money to pay for the hospital bill if it weren't for my mother begging me to come back. Even when I came back I knew I wasn't going to stay for long, but I didn't expect to find a reason to stay."

"Y/N-"

"Y/N!" 

We both flinched at a familiar voice and I looked behind Jimin at the face I dreaded to see the most.

"Mrs. Park."
