Ari was guilty of speaking rudely to hanwoo earlier in day.
She went to his apartment. She wanted to knock but someone called her from behind.
"Ari ? What are you doing here ?" He asked. "Well, I spoke rudely to hanwoo earlier so I was going to apologise." She said.
"Oh!! But i think it's not good to go this late at night. You should talk in morning." Tae said.
Ari nodded and went back. Tae slammed his hand on wall. "Damn it!! I was thinking to impress Ari but this hanwoo.."
Tae smirked. "I will have to plan something."
.
NEXT MORNING
Y/n was going to her clinic when Ari also joined her.
"Where are you going ?" She asked. "Uh, unniee, my friend has an interview today, so I am going to meet her." Ari lied.
Y/n and came in parking lot. Everyone who passed them was staring at Ari and whispering.
"Why are they staring ? Stupid people." Y/n huffed. "Ok, unniee, see you later." Ari said and y/n nodded.
Ari left. Y/n was opening her car door when she heard two boys talking.
"Isn't she the one who moved a few weeks ago here ? That lives in Mr. Kang's house ?"
Y/n turned around and saw them watching something on mobile.
"At last she showed her true colors. What was her name ?" The boy asked.
"Ari."
"What nonsense ? Who are you talking about ?" Y/n said furious.
They both panicked. "We were just..."
"What were you watching ?" She asked and snatched their phone.
She was shocked to see what was inside. She saw Beom furiously walking inside building.
"Oppa!!" She stopped him. "Y/n where is Ari ? Do you know what happened ?" He asked and y/n nodded.
"She has gone to garden area." They went towards parking area.
.
Hanwoo was standing in garden area and Ari arrived there.
"Hi!" She greeted. "Why did you called me here ?" Hanwoo asked coldly.
"I wanted to apologize for talking to you rudely earlier." She said.
Before hanwoo could reply beom arrived there and punched hanwoo.
"Oppa ?" Ari shouted in shock. Beom started beating hanwoo mercilessly.
"Oppa, stop!! Why are you hitting him ? Stop it." Ari tried to stop beom.
Y/n held Ari. "Unniee what happened to oppa ?" She said with worried expression.
Every resident of apartment gathered there and tried to stop beom.
"Why are you hitting me ?" Hanwoo asked. "How dare you do that to my sister ?" Beom shouted never stopping his punches.
Nari was jogging when she saw the commotion.
She entered the crowd and saw beom beating hanwoo.
'Oh god!! I have to tell oppaa!!' She thought and ran inside building.
.
Jungkook looked at minji's picture and smiled. "I miss you and I know you miss me too. I will do my best and bring you back." He said and went down to meet his lawyer.
Everyone sat in living room.
"Mr. Hyunsik, what have you thought ?" Jungkook asked.
"For minji's custody we have to prove that Mina is a bad mother or else the custody will be given to mother." He said.
"What's there to prove ? She is a bad mother. She left her newborn and eloped with her lover." Hae-won said angry.
"We know that Mrs. Jeon but court won't accept it. Someone has to testify it." Hyunsik said.
"We all will testify." Hae-won said. "Your and jungkook's claims won't work. We have to get someone else who knows this matter. Who is not from your family and can give testimony."
"I know someone. She might help us." Hyun-tae said. "Who ?" Jungkook asked.
"Y/n. She can help us." He said. Hae-won sighed. "Dad, I don't want to argue with you but do you think that Kang Y/n will give statement in our favor ?" Jungkook scoff.
"But she loves minji a lot too. If she gets to know Mina and Namjoon's truth she will help us." Hyun-tae said.
"Oppa!!" Nari came inside running.
"Y/n's brother-in-law is beating up hanwoo." She said. Everyone was shocked.
"But why ?" Jungkook asked standing up. "I don't know but come fast." Nari said and everyone rushed out.
.
"Ari, we are with you. You are not alone, ok ?" Y/n said with tears in her eyes.
"I am very scared, unniee please tell what happened ?" Ari asked crying.
"Hanwoo had leaked your private video with him." Y/n said and showed her. Ari saw the video in which hanwoo and Ari were kissing.
Ari was shocked to see this. "What have I done ?" Hanwoo asked freeing himself.
He went close to Ari. "Don't come close. You are the most despicable person in the world." Ari shouted.
"What happened ? I am not understanding anything." Hanwoo said. He was all bruised up now.
Beom again punched him. He threw him towards floor but jungkook caught him.
"Hyung!! I didn't do anything." Hanwoo said. "Who did it ?" Jungkook asked.
"He just started beating me." Hanwoo was so confused and panicked. "Tell me!!" Jungkook shouted.
Hanwoo pointed at beom. Jungkook went up to him and grabbed his collar. "How dare you hit my brother ?" He shouted.
Y/n went up and pushed jungkook away. "Lower your tone." She glared.
Jungkook had red eyes. He looked at beom then at y/n. "We have only raised our hands so far. We will send him to prison soon." Y/n said.
Jungkook glared at her. His breathing was heavy.
"Why would he go to jail ?" Hae-won asked.
"You won't be able to hear what your son had done." Beom said.
"We have already tolerated your cheap acts and lies. Just tell what he did." Jungkook said glancing both beom and y/n.
"Even I am asking him what I have done but he just beating me." Hanwoo shouted with tears in his eyes.
"You..." Beom charged towards hanwoo but jungkook pushed him away.
"Don't touch him!!"
"Don't touch him!! "
Both y/n and jungkook shouted. "If you say something, I'll kill you." Beom said.
"Do you want to know what he did ?" Beom said to jungkook.
"He leaked his and Ari's private videos on internet."
"What rubbish!!" Hanwoo shouted. "Shut up!! You gave false promises of love and marriage and now sold her dignity." Beom said.
Hanwoo was baffled. Tae watched everything and smirks.
Beom showed the video to jungkook. Jungkook was surprised and looked at hanwoo.
Hanwoo also watched the video. "T-This... I d-din't... I didn't made this video. " He stuttered.
"Sangmo!! I... I d.. didn't.." He said desperately.
He went to Ari. "Ari.. I.. I didn't m.. made this video. Please, believe m.. me." He said while tears flowed from his eyes.
He went to jungkook. "Hyung, you know me. I.. I didn't do this."
"Relax.. I do.." Jungkook tried to calm him. "I... I.."
"Relax!!" Jungkook shouted. He hugged hanwoo who kept mumbling same thing.
"I know you didn't do it. It's someone else doing." Jungkook said and y/n scoffs.
"Whose conspiracy could it be ? Who could have access to their private videos ?" Y/n shouted with red eyes.
Jungkook was silent. Tae smirked.
Flashback -
Tae went to hanwoo's room at night as he was staying that night at their house.
Hanwoo slept with his laptop and ipad unlocked. Tae took his ipad sneakily.
He saw a video of hanwoo and Ari.
"If she doesn't agree then this video is gonna be a huge failure of my life." Hanwoo said.
"So, how do I look ?" Ari said in video. "You always look beautiful." Hanwoo said.
"Well, I wanted to ask you something."
H took our a box and a necklace. He made her wear it. "Will you marry me ?" He asked and Ari blushed while nodding.
Tar clutches the ipad in anger. "I am gonna twist this video so bad that your whole world will shake up, hanwoo." Tae smirks.
"I will teach you such a lesson that you will think twice before doing something again like this." Beom fumes in anger.
"And then even your money, power and position won't be able to save him." Beom said to jungkook and left with Ari.
Y/n was also leaving but she heard jungkook's next words.
"Don't worry. Let the cops come. I will handle it."
"There are two types of criminals in this world." Y/n said taking jungkook's attention.
"First those who commit crime, and second those who support the former."
"And second ones are more dangerous." Y/n said.
"I can't believe that you are supporting a person who himself shattered his girlfriend's dignity."
"You betrayed her in name of love." Y/n said to hanwoo who shook his head in denial.
"And you, you have two sisters and you are a father of a daughter, don't you see pain of a girl ?" Y/n asked jungkook.
"You know Ms. Mina called me and asked to favor her in minji's case but i refused. I think I made a mistake, now I will accompany her to court and give testimony in her favor." Y/n said.
'What!? I was just targeting hanwoo, how come this situation happened ?' Tae cursed in mind.
"I am not doing this because you are supporting hanwoo but because you don't deserve to be father of a daughter."
"I promise you that minji will never return to your house." Y/n said and left from there.
.
"Start the proceedings." Judge says.
"Thank you, your honor." Hyunsik got up.
"Your honor, we should look into this, that who is asking for minji's custody. The lady who left her newborn for her boyfriend and a luxurious life."
"And that too was her husband's boss." Hyunsik said. Namjoon was silent.
"Despite being in pain, my client raised his daughter. Now after six years she came back to take her custody ? We have to stop this, your honor." Hyunsik said and sat down.
"Your honor, Mr. Hyunsik is doing same as the society does. Throwing mud ata lady." Namjoon's lawyer spoke.
"This whole story is false. After marriage my client's in-laws tortured her and never accepted her. Due to this torture and unhappiness with her husband she left the house."
"She wanted to give the comfort to her daughter. Now she is at success of her life and she wants to take care of her daughter."
Hae-won and hyun-tae looked at him in disbelief.
"We all have seen on TV, that Mr. Jeon doesn't has any time for his daughter and Ms. Mina wants to invest her time in minji. So I request court to give custody to mother." With that the lawyer sat back.
"The court heard both sides but no one has able to prove that with whom minji will be happier." Judge said.
"I want to ask the kid myself." Judge said.
'Oh god!! Minji will have to come here ? Please give her strength God.' Y/n thought.
Mina went to bring minji. "Minji dear, let's go."
"Where ?" Minji asked. "Inside. You know judge will ask you that with whom you want to stay and I know you will say Mumma,
right ?" Mina smiled.
Minji stood in the chamber and judge smiled. "What's your name dear ?" She asked.
Minji didn't speak but looked at y/n. Y/n smiled at her. "Minji"
"What's your full name ?" Judge asked softly. "Jeon Minji." Minji replied.
Jungkook smiled. "Do you know why you are here ?"
Minji shook her head. "I want to ask you, that with whom you want to stay ? Dada or mumma ?" Judge asked.
Everyone waited for minji's reply. "I want to stay with y/n sangmo!!" Minji said making everyone shocked.
Jungkook and Mina stood up from their seats and looked at y/n, who was equally shocked.
Hyun-tae and Ha-joon looked at her.
"Who is Y/n ?" Judge asked. Y/n stood up. "It's me, your honor. Kang Y/n."
"Please come in chamber." Judge said and y/n walked upto chamber. She looked at minji who was in opposite chamber to her.
"Ms.Y/n what is your relation with minji ?" Judge asked.
"Some relationships don't have a name, your honor." Y/n said looking at minji.
"I was her neighbour at one time but not anymore as she is not staying with Jeons anymore."
"There are two types of relations in this world. Either blood relations or emotional relations."
"Blood relations are biological but emotional relations are magical. My relation with minji is also magical."
"So magical that we forget our grief, pain, problems and suffering."
Hearing to y/n both Ha-joon and Hyun-tae looked at each other.
"When minji and i are together, we don't miss anyone. It feels like this is enough and I want nothing more in life." Y/n smiled as minji looked at her.
"I have just met her 3 months ago but it feels like I know her since ages. First time I met her was when she was going to get in an accident."
"When I saw her, I don't know what happened, I didn't even cared for my life to save her life."
"I don't know but I at that time felt a connection with her. Whenever she is in trouble, it's like God sends me to help her."
"I always think about her day and night. I think that where is she, what is she doing ?"
"When she laughs, a smile makes it way on my face, I get sad to see her cry." A few tears slipped from her eyes.
"And now when she is dragged in her mom and dad's fight, and how everyone is just thinking of their win and loss instead of minji's happiness..."
"It makes my heart ache." Y/n said looking at minji who was also having tears in her eyes.
Jungkook listens to her with mixed emotions.
"I can't define our bond. I can't give it a name. I have seen minji craving for her parents love."
"I have seen the longing in her eyes."
"According to everyone, this case is for minji's custody but in actual this case is for minji herself."
"I hope whatever decision today is taken, is taken with regard to minji's happiness and not because of some old grudges or broken relationship." Y/n said glancing at jungkook and mina.
"I think minji also deserves happiness, your honor. If it was possible for me, I would have given that happiness to her but in our society, blood relations are more important than emotional relations."
Mina rolled her eyes.
"I haven't give birth to minji so, I am not the one to decide." Y/n said.
"Thank you Ms. Kang." Judge said. "After hearing Ms. Kang's testimony, I want to give more time to this case."
"Next week we will again ask minji and in that hearing Ms. Kang's opinion will be most important. Normally it's not like this but in this case I think it's needed." Judge said and adjourned the court.
