With frequent updates, there won't be any hiatus in this story✨
Rain poured as the skies cried too along with everyone who mourned for the loss of their beloved one.
Everyone stood in black as one particular lady bawled her eyes out while her husband stood beside her with a dejected look.
Pastor
My Brothers and Sisters, we are gathered here today to give our final goodbye to Kim Jung-eun.
Pastor
God called her to Him at such a young age.
Pastor
Jung-eun was a loving wife and doting mother, who was always kind to those around her.
Pastor
It is a great shock to all of us who were blessed to be a part of her life, including all the children she helped and volunteered for. The memory of Jung-eun will live in our hearts forever.
Pastor
May her soul rest in peace.
Kids played in the room as teachers assigned kept an eye on them.
Principal Hyun
*comes inside*
Mr. Jeon?
The male teacher who was talking to his colleague turned as he immediately put on a good smile to pass on to the Principal.
Jeon Jungkook
Good morning, Mr. Hyun. Do you need anything?
Principal Hyun
Yes, as a matter of fact. May I borrow you for a moment?
Jeon Jungkook
*turns to his colleague*
Hey, will you be okay with the kids?
Park Jimin
*nods*
Yup, you go ahead. I'll be fine.
Jeon Jungkook
Okay, thanks Jimin.
Walking out of the classroom, the Principal was quick to let on Jungkook with the thing at hand.
Principal Hyun
We have a new little princess here.
*smiles*
Principal Hyun
Her name is Kim Taeri.
And just then Jungkook heard the little footsteps behind him, only to turn around and see a little, cute girl already dressed in the school uniform come towards him with her head cast down, looking all sad and lost.
Principal Hyun
This is her.
Principal Hyun
And this is her nanny, Mrs. Myun
Jungkook just politely nodded at the middle-aged nanny as he let the Principal continue while his eyes couldn't leave the sad little girl in front of him.
Principal Hyun
They have asked specifically for you.
Jeon Jungkook
Oh? How nice!
Jeon Jungkook
Well, why don't you come with me..
Jeon Jungkook
*says cheerfully as he crouched down in front of the girl*
and I'll introduce Miss Taeri to the her new classmates?
*smiles brightly*
But the nanny's hesitation made Jungkook stop.
Loss!
Nanny Mrs. Myun
Actually... I was hoping to speak to you in private.. 😥
Nanny Mrs. Myun
There are some things about Taeri you should be aware of.😥
Jeon Jungkook
I see... in that case..
Jeon Jungkook
Come with me lm We can talk in my office.
*smiles*
Nanny Mrs. Myun
Thank you Mr. Jeon.
Jeon Jungkook
Please, just call me Jungkook.
Coming to Jungkook's cabin with the lost looking little girl follow them quietly, Jungkook was more intrigued to know what is she so sad about.
Jeon Jungkook
Okay, here we are.
Jeon Jungkook
*crouched slightly to speak to Taeri*
Hey, Taeri why don't you go play with those toys in the corner while your nanny and I have a little grown-up talk? ☺️
Kim Taeri
*let's out a sigh as she quietly walked towards the corner with toys*
😞
Jeon Jungkook
(Such an obedient little girl, but why so sad? It almost pains to see her look so lost...)
Jeon Jungkook
*looks up at Mrs. Myun*
Okay, why don't we have a seat?
Nanny Mrs. Myun
Okay, thank you dear.
Jeon Jungkook
All right... I hope I'm not out of line here, but...
*speaks hesitatingly*
Jeon Jungkook
Why weren't her parents the ones to bring Taeri here on her first day?😟
Nanny Mrs. Myun
Oh, that is actually why I wanted to talk to you.
Nanny Mrs. Myun
The child's father is Kim Taehyung.
Hearing the name, made a surprise gasp leave Jungkook's lips as he couldn't really believe what he heard.
Jeon Jungkook
As in the owner of Kim Corporations?!😲
Nanny Mrs. Myun
And as I'm sure you're aware, he lost his wife about a year ago.
Jeon Jungkook
Yes, I recall hearing the news.
Jeon Jungkook
I'm so sorry.
Nanny Mrs. Myun
Well, Taeri is still grieving. 😔
Nanny Mrs. Myun
We've tried sending her to different schools, but she wouldn't settle down anywhere.
Jeon Jungkook
So you brought her here.
Nanny Mrs. Myun
*nods*
That's right.
Jeon Jungkook
Mr. Hyun said you asked specifically for me...?
Nanny Mrs. Myun
Yes, well.. after this situation with changing schools, Mr. Kim asked around and your name came up in many recommendations.
Nanny Mrs. Myun
You're a well respected teacher, Mr. Jeon!
Jeon Jungkook
I see... um, so I assume you've been Taeri's mother-figure ever since her mother passed away, right?
Nanny Mrs. Myun
Oh, no dear!
Nanny Mrs. Myun
I tried to be that but, the child keeps asking for her mother.
Looking over to the girl in the corner playing mindlessly with the toys, Jungkook could only let out a small sigh as he decided to pry further just for the new girl he would soon be teaching.
Jeon Jungkook
What can you tell me of her relationship with her father?
Nanny Mrs. Myun
Oh, she loves him dearly.
Nanny Mrs. Myun
They grew even closer after her mother died, but still... she needs a mother-figure and her father's girlfriend isn't much help.
The more he heard about Taeri, the more sorry he felt for the little girl.
Father's Girlfriend!
Jeon Jungkook
Mr. Kim's girlfriend?
*raises an eyebrow as he very doubtingly asked again to be sure*
Nanny Mrs. Myun
*nods*
Yes. She used to be Mrs. Kim's nurse, but after she died... Ms. Yuna kept in contact with Mr. Kim.
Nanny Mrs. Myun
She's literally obsessed with him.
*sighs dejectedly*
Jungkook could hear what a pain in the arse this new girlfriend of Taeri's father has been that he couldn't help but speak up his mind.
Jeon Jungkook
Ah.. so she sees the child as a threat, doesn't she?
*cocks his eyebrow as he remarked in dissatisfied tone*
Nanny Mrs. Myun
*gasps*
How did you know?
Jeon Jungkook
Well, you said Mr. Kim and his daughter grew closer, ever since her mother passed away. If the girlfriend is obsessed with the father, as you say and Taeri is obviously not hers..
Jeon Jungkook
Not being of much help in the mother-figure department can only mean one thing.
*shrugs*
Jeon Jungkook
I have to say however, that is definitely not the ideal environment for the child.
Jeon Jungkook
Teri needs the tender loving care of a mother, not the jealousy of her father's partner.
The Nanny was left speechless as she never thought she could hear such insightful words come out of a man's mouth, understanding the need of a mother to a child and how the environment of the house has been literally destroying her within.
Nanny Mrs. Myun
(I must say, Mr. Jeon is indeed very great to be able to understand what a child needs!)
Nanny Mrs. Myun
I can't agree with you more.
Jeon Jungkook
No wonder she's still grieving..
*says in low voice as he again looks over at Taeri who now sat quietly looking out of the window*
Jeon Jungkook
Let me try talking to her... see if she's willing to open up. Then we'll proceed from there.
Nanny Mrs. Myun
By all means, please do.
Nanny Mrs. Myun
You're out last resort.
