After court was adjourned, everyone came out of the courtroom.
"What happened, Namjoon ? You always talk big but you can't do anything. What did your lawyer even do ?" Mina asked furious.
"Oh really ? Do you really think it's my fault ? I told you to bond with the girl but you couldn't even make an effort in that." Balloon Namjoon scolded back.
Here jungkook was scolding his lawyer. "How could this happen ? How can judge give the decision of my daughter to a third person ?"
"Who is Y/n to decide whether minji will live with me or not ?" Jungkook said with rage.
Ha-joon sat in hall of court. He was still lost in the words of y/n inside courtroom.
He was baffled by it. Y/n looked so lovingly at minji and the pain she felt for her.
A hand was kept on his shoulder which brought him back to reality.
"What are you thinking Mr. Kang ?" Hyun-tae asked.
"God is unfair, Mr. Jeon. My daughter can't conceive but gave her so much motherly affection for minji."
"And the real mother..." He looked at Mina.
"She doesn't even cares what is happening with her daughter."
"Both jungkook and Mina are so lost in their fight that they have forgotten about the person they are fighting for."
"You know Mr. Kang, sometime we have the solution in front of our eyes but we fail to see it."
"What do you mean ?" Ha-joon asked frowning. "Listen, the loneliness minji has in her life the same loneliness is in heart of y/n" Hyun-tae said.
"I am sorry but I am not understanding. Please say clearly, Mr. Jeon." Ha-joon asked.
"I want jungkook and y/n to marry." Hyun-tae said and ha-joon was shocked.
"What!? No, Mr. Jeon, this is not possible. First, our families don't get along well and jungkook and y/n dont even speak normally with each other." Ha-joon said.
Before hyun-tae could say anything they heard laughter. They looked out and saw y/n and minji in parking.
Y/n was chasing minji with a smile. Minji sat on her car hood and played with y/n.
Y/n squeezed minji's nose and in turn minji squeezed y/n's nose making both laugh.
Ha-joon smiled seeing them. On one side both the parents of minji were busy in scolding their lawyers, here minji was happy with someone else.
"See, Mr. Kang, minji's parents don't even realise about minji and minji is so happy with someone else and that too your daughter." Hyun-tae said.
"Y/n was right, their relation is magical. So, what's wrong in naming their relation that off mother and daughter ?"
Ha-joon was conflicted. "Mr. Kang, with this alliance, minji will get a mother and y/n, a chance of becoming mother."
"And if we ignore the happiness of our children that won't be good. I know that jungkook's happiness is in minji."
"And minji's happiness in y/n. You remember that when minji's life was in danger, what y/n did that time was what a mother does."
"We being the seniors, should look after our children's happiness." Hyun-tae said.
"I.. I need time Mr. Jeon. This is y/n's life's biggest decision and I can't do haste in it." Ha-joon said.
"You can take your time but let me tell you that your daughter is the last hope of my family's happiness." With that hyun-tae left.
.
Mina watched y/n and minji playing. "Wow!! Look at that." Namjoon came from behind.
"Minji is staying at our house from so many days, but you couldn't form a bond with her. Look at that, what a bond they share. That should've been you." Namjoon said.
Mina looked at him with anger. "I told you to ask for help from y/n not to give your daughter to her."
"That's so shameful for a mother, when her daughter wants to go with a random neighbor more than her mom. But why would you care ? You wanted to go Greece with me. You didn't had any time for her."
Mina scoffed. "Excuse me. Don't blame me, I tried. And you wanted all this, you wanted to defeat jungkook not me. You too could have tried to bond with her."
"But instead you scared her and scolded her. This fight is yours Namjoon, why should I alone bear the blame ?"
Namjoon sighed. "Ok, calm down. We both are at fault. But now we have to be careful and make y/n believe that minji will be happier with us."
Mina nodded and looked at y/n and minji. She felt a little jealous of y/n, seeing her bonding with minji.
.
"Mom, I was waiting for you only." Yeji said when hae-won came inside her room.
"What do you want now ?" Hae-won Ahmed tired.
"Mom, you told me that y/n would decide our case of minji, so I am thinking of befriending her." Yeji said.
"How ?" Hae-won asked. "My cute little hari will help us." Yeji said picking up the child from crib.
"Hari, ask your mom that how can you help ?" Hae-won asked sarcastic.
"You will know it tomorrow mom." Yeji said smiling.
.
"You don't worry, we will soon catch the culprit, after we get ip address of the laptop." The officer said.
"But officer, you should interrogate, hanwoo, he is the one who had their private video." Y/n said.
"I don't know if hanwoo did this or not but he did had that video." Ari said whispering. Her eyes were tired from crying.
The officer assured them about catching the culprit.
Y/n gets a call from clinic to come urgently and she leaves first.
.
"I am sorry for being a little late..." Y/n said coming in her cabin but stopped when she saw yeji and hae-won sitting.
"You ?" She ask frowning. "Hello." Yeji said smiling. Y/n smiled, "uh, who is the pateint ?" She asked.
"She is the pateint." Yeji said taking Hari from hae-won. Y/n looked at her confused.
"You know you are highly reputed in neighbourhood, so you are the best doctor for this." Yeji said.
"But this young..." Y/n trails but yeji cuts her off. "We have trust in you. So here." Yeji have Hari in y/n's arms.
"You even treated minji too." Yeji said and hae-won just listened to her.
"Ok, what is the problem ?" Y/n ask. "My daughter doesn't eat or drink and her teeth are not growing." Yeji says and hae-won looks at her as if she was a clown.
"Uh.. What is her age ?" Y/n asked. "6 months." Yeji said smiling and y/n looked at her with shock and amusement.
She tried to suppress her smile and said gently, "You do one thing, being her to me after few months, as normally children's teeth grow at 9 or 10 months of age."
She gave the child to hae-won. Hae-won glared at yeji. Yeji smiled awkwardly and said, "You have is your precious time, so here a little gift from us..." She gave a gift wrapped box.
"No, thank you." Y/n refuses. Hae-won urges yeji to leave and they leave the box there.
.
Jungkook waits for judge mam to come as he waits for her in her cabin.
After sometime she comes and sits on her seat. "I have really worked hard to secure this meeting. I've only come to tell you that I don't want to lose my daughter. Minji is living with me since her birth, if she doesn't chooses her mother is understandable but she chose someone outsider... isn't right." Jungkook says.
"I mean y/n is our neighbour and knows minji from just 3 months, how can she decide my daughter's life. I am not saying your decision is wrong but it's unfair too. My daughter is just 8 years old, how can she decide who is good for her ?"
"Y/n and i always had problems and i am sure that she had brainwashed my daughter. You are smart to understand that she is just a kid and why she chose an outsider over her parents. Y/n had formed some opinions about me which she will never change so it's unfair to me." Jungkook says calmly.
"I know Mr. Jeon but I have to judge fairly and i have seen love for minji in y/n's eyes and that too is case for minji. Minji knows y/n for just 2 months but y/n managed to do what you couldn't do in 5 years. Children are not complicated Mr jeon, they are simple. So I think you should think about it." Judge says smiling.
'I have to do something, either get y/n on my side or get her out of the case completely.' Jungkook thinks.
.
"What a rubbish idea that was, yeji!! You made me a doll in front of that fool." Hae-won grumbled when they came out.
Yeji sighed and then was shocked to see Mina coming their way with a bouquet of flowers and wine bottle.
As she passes them and gives a side eye, hae-won ask yeji to leave but, "Wait, mom, let's see what she is going to discuss with y/n." Yeji said and took hae-won with her back to clinic.
They hide and see Mina greeting y/n. "Here, this gift is for you to loving and taking care of my daughter so much." Mina said.
"Ms. Mina, I can't accept this. I love minji with my heart not out of greedy." Y/n says frowning.
"I know that and i respect you a lot. I am astonished that how can someone love my daughter so much. Please keep this for minji's sake." Mina urges and y/n nods and takes flowers.
Mina sits on chair in front of y/n. "Well, I saw my mother-in-law and sister-in-law right now outside." Mina said and glances at the gift wrapped box kept on table.
"Were they here to bribe you ?" Mina asked while picking up the box. It was a makeup palette.
"Disgusting... Seriously, no matter how rich they get, their choices are always tacky." Mina said with disgusted face.
"Mom, has she looked at herself, what kind of cheap dress is he l she wearing.?" Yeji said glaring.
"They have taught my daughter also same thing. Let me tell you that minji's grandma is really a conniving woman."
Y/n looked at her awkwardly.
Hae-won gasped and stepped to go inside but yeji stopped her. "Mom, where are you going, let's listen more."
"This is not time to listen but to give an earful. Leave my hand...." Hae-won yanked her hand with force due to which she stumbled and landed inside cabin.
Y/n looked at her shocked and asked, "Haven't you left ?"
"You were sitting on me, right ?" Mina mocked. "Did you see y/n, just like the in laws of soap Opera, they are scheming against me."
"You are a TV soap vamp, and what did you say, were are here to bribe ? And you, what are you doing here ?" Yeji asked in loud tone.
Y/n came in between them. "Please don't fight, this is my clinic." She said but yeji smiled at her and asked to move side.
"What did you say earlier ? Are gift is tacky ? Maybe are gift is tacky, but you yourself are tacky." Yeji retorts.
"Listen, go and fight outside." Y/n said. "No, y/n move side." Mina said this time.
"I have a class unlike you. My gift for y/n, this wine is from Singapore. But how would you know, one should have a class to understand class." Mina spat.
"No..." Y/n again tried to intervene. "Don't you understand once ?" Hae-won shoes and y/n flinched and stepped back.
"Both are telling you to not interfere, understand. And you..." Hae-won first glared at y/n then shifted to Mina.
"You keep lecturing is about class. When you eloped with your lover, you already showed your class." Hae-won said.
"Keep blabbering, i don't care. And one thing, that I'll only get minji's custody and even judge understood yesterday that her future is secure with me." Mina said mocking.
"First secure your future." Hae-won said and picked up an iron ruler which y/n brought for a class project of seokie.
Y/n's eyes were like saucers now. "What... What are you doing ?" Mina asked stuttering.
"Are you crazy ?" Mina shouted. "No, i am perfectly fine but today I will teach you a lesson. If your mom had been strict with you in childhood then you wouldn't have been this blabber mouth." Hae-won said.
Hae-won stepped ahead and Mina stepped back. "What were you saying huh ?" Hae-won chased Mina in while clinic.
"Y/n this woman has gone crazy, please save me." Mina said scared and hid behind y/n.
Yeji sees the matter getting out of hand and calls Jungkook.
"Hello, oppa, I i and mom came to meet y/n in her clinic but here Mina and mom are fighting a lot. Please come fast." She then hangs up.
"I will thrash you today." Hae-won tries to hit Mina but she hides behind y/n.
"I told you to not interfere. Move side." Hae-won warned her.
"Look, how cheap they are. They will teach this to my daughter also. Ahh." Mina again sucked her hand before hae-won could hit.
Yeji tried to stop hae-won. Y/n tries to calm them but hae-won goes to hit Mina but y/n's hand comes in between and she gets hit and has a small cut in her palm.
"What are you doing ?" She asked clutching her hand. "Sorry, I didn't mean it. She was my target. Sorry, are you hurt ?" Hae-won asked.
"No, she is enjoying." Mina said sarcastic. Just then a voice boomed in clinic.
"What's going on ?" Jungkook stood in doorway. "Dear, i didn't do it intentionally, i just..." Hae-won tries to explain but Jungkook stopped her.
"I understood. Yeji take mom and go home." He said and they both left after saying sorry last time.
"Is it paining a lot ?" Mina asked. "I know how much you care for others. You too leave." Jungkook said to Mina.
Mina sighed frustrated. "Y/n please take care." She says and leaves.
"And you.. please leave." Y/n said to Jungkook and went to take first aid from cabinet.
As she keeps the box on table Jungkook takes it. "Let me help you." He says.
"No, thank you I'll manage." Y/n says. "You don't deserve any help but if someone is helping you, you should take it." Jungkook said.
"Show me your hand." He says and held her wrist. "Mr Jeon." Y/n tried to protest.
"Shut up!!" Jungkook said rudely but then calmed himself. "Let me do it, please."
He takes cotton from the box and applied antiseptic on it. "It will hurt a little, so manage. Close your eyes." Jungkook instructs.
Y/n closes her eyes reluctantly. Jungkook goes to apply antiseptic and y/n yells in pain.
"Ouchhh!!"
Jungkook looks at her and gives a little chuckle. "I didn't even do it yet."
"It still pained." Y/n said embarrassed. "Drama." Jungkook mumbles and cleans the wound.
Y/n stared at him. The slope of his nose, the crease between his brows and the slight pout on his lips, it all held her still.
Jungkook's gaze flicked up and y/n looked away flustered. Jungkook blowed on the wound.
Jungkook wraps the wound and again catches y/n staring but this time y/n doesn't breaks the contact until a knock is there on door.
Both look away and the receptionist all to close the clinic and leave.
"I will leave shortly. Just give me 2 mins." Y/n start collecting her things and Jungkook offers help.
"Let me..."
"No, I'll manage." Y/n refuses and Jungkook looks at her with a done look. "Don't be stubborn. Those who take others help don't become inferior. Ok ? Let me drop you." Jungkook said.
"No." Y/n replied flatly. "Why ? Will you drive with one hand ? To show off your style ?" Jungkook mocks while imitating the gesture.
Y/n looks at him annoyed. "Let..." Jungkook tries to take bag but y/n again refuses.
"I said no." Jungkook gives irritated look. "What do you mean no ?"
"So you help others rudely ?" Y/n asked as Jungkook points things in her bag.
"No. I help others affectionately, but what shall I do ? I asked you politely but you didn't agree, obviously i will get angry."
Y/n remains silent. "I am sorry on my mother's behalf. Sometime she gets crazy." Jungkook said gently and y/n looked at him surprised and thought.
'Wow, sorry from the jeon jungkook.'
'Yes, I am having bad times now.' Jungkook thought looking at her.
"Why do you do such acts that you have to say sorry later ?" Y/n mumbles and Jungkook snaps his head to her.
"So you do black magic ?" He asked. "No. If you think so loudly in your mind, others will hear it." Y/n said.
"Take my laptop and clean this table." Y/n said haughtily and left. Jungkook mumbles to himself. "She can read minds."
.
Tae and his friends were playing games sitting in garden. "Guys, you know that Kangs have complained in cyber cell."One of them said.
"So ?" Tae asked still playing games. "You sent video from my laptop, so if they find out my IP address, i am going to drag you all into this." He said and others got scared.
"You are all cowards. I uploaded the video using VPN so police can't track is easily." Tae smirked. He then gets a call from yeji.
"Hey, Tae, can you come home, actually hanwoo needed your laptop's password, can you come up ?" Yeji says and Tae gets nervous as a copy of the video is on his laptop and that too on desktop screen.
He hurriedly goes up to the apartment and takes laptop from Hanwoo. As Tae prays for his life and goes to open laptop, cops come to their house. "Who is Hanwoo ?" Hanwoo stands up. "it's me."
"We have to arrest you as you tampered with a girl's private video and leaked it on internet." The officer said. "What!? No, you must be mistaken. Hanwoo can't do this. Someone is framing him." Hae-won says. The officer ignores them and takes Hanwoo with them.
Tae hurries to delete the video from desktop screen and sighs.
.
"Thank you." Y/N says and starts to walk away but jungkook stops her. "I want to talk to you about Minji's custody, I have got a solution for it." He says and goes to his car to bring few papers.
"Here, this is the property papers for my flat in Gwangju, it's a well maintained good flat. It's yours from now and just do a favour in return in custody of minji." Jungkook says and Y/n looks at him with dissapointment.
"This is what you think of me ?" She asks. "Try to understand my situation. Everyone knows that the verdict depends on you. Minji is just 5 yrs. old and the fondness she has for you, maybe she doesn't have in future, so just take this flat and give your verdict in my favour." jungkook says desperate.
"Do you think I am doing all this for money ? You know I thought you are a little different but no, you, your mother, sister and ex-wife all are trying to bribe me, but let me tell you that neither me nor my verdict is on sale, got it ?" Y/n replied firmly.
