Breaking A Contract
La is expecting Yuna to come today. Yoongi has already taken her things to his place and will come back for her later after taking care of some personal business. So, this was the perfect time for Yuna to come over.
The doorbell chimes, and La rushes to the door, excited to see you. Lanne is caught off guard when she opens the door, only to see you in tears. She pulls you in, grabs your suitcase, brings it in, and closes the door.
You stand there crying, and she pulls you in for a hug. "Oh, Yuna. Why are you crying? Come on, let's sit on the couch, and you can tell me everything, okay?"
La walks you to her living room, arm around your shoulder. You sit on the couch, and she tells you she will be right back. A few minutes later, she returns with two glasses of wine.
"Here, I think you need this."
You gladly take it and, at first, take a gulp. Lanne reaches out and takes hold of the glass. "Slow down. Talk first before you can't." She teasingly laughs.
You nod your head, and she says, "Okay, spill the tea."
You take a deep breath, then begin. "I couldn't bring myself to marry Jiho. I broke off with him. I'm now disowned by my mother!" You can't stop the tears from falling, so Lanne hands you some tissues.
You sniffle, grab one, and wipe your nose. "I'm sorry, Lanne. I've been a watering pot. But though my mother disowned me, my dad bought me an apartment in this building, and it will be under renovation for six months."
"Oh, Yuna, you have always had such a sweet dad." You lean over and briefly hug her. "It works out perfectly for us; you can stay in my apartment while yours is being renovated. I think it is a great idea for you to watch our apartments while Em and I are gone."
"Yes," you say, no longer crying. "My dad is paying for everything, but my mother is filing for divorce."
"Oh, then she can marry Jiho." Lanne playfully teases you, trying to bring a smile to your face.
You giggle, picturing the combo your mother and Jiho would make. When your father stepped up and supported you in breaking the contract, he didn't lose anything; your mother did—her share in his business. There was one thing that stopped her from taking it: He had given you more shares in the company than her the day you were born.
Lanne briefly hugs you. "There's that smile!" She goes to the kitchen, returns with the bottle of wine, and refills both your glasses.
"Lanne, I'm so happy for you and Yoongi. I'm also glad Emily has her Namjoon. I haven't told anyone, but I think I found my fate the day at the restaurant."
Lanne's whole face lights up. "It's J Hope, isn't it? Jimin told me how he reacted when he saw you, and you have been all J Hope talks about, but he didn't know who you were at the time. Jimin, let him know that you two went to school together."
You nod. "Yes, it's him. But I don't see how we can meet. I can't ask you and Emily for an introduction. I think that would be presumptuous of me."
"Nonsense!" Lanne laughs. "Stay right here. I've got something for you." She runs over to the desk across the living room, opens a drawer, and hurries back with a folded piece of paper in her hand. Smiling like she knows the answers to all the secrets of the Universe, she hands it to you.
"What is it?"
"Read it." Her smile is as big as that of the Cheshire Cat from 'Alice in Wonderland'.
You unfold the piece of paper, and there is J Hope's name and number. In shock, you look at Lanne. "What? Does he know you're giving me this?"
She sits back down on the couch beside you and grabs her glass of wine. After taking a sip or two, she sits it back down. "I'm not giving it to you, silly. He is."
"He is?" Now she has you confused.
"Yes. Jimin talked to him, then Jimin talked to me, and then we met up with J Hope. He said to give you his number because he has not been able to get you out of his head since the day he saw you." She grabs your hand, giving it a little squeeze of excitement. "He is smitten!"
"I, I can't . . . I never thought I would ever . . ." You burst into tears, but this time they are tears of joy!
Lanne hands you tissue after tissue, softly laughing and feeling joy with you. If anyone deserves to find their Red String of Fate love, she believes it's you.
After a few minutes and another glass of wine, Lanne grins like a cat who got the cream.
"Why are you smiling like that?" you ask out of curiosity.
"He wants you to call him today."
She watches your eyes become round as saucers, and your mouth forms a cute little oh.
"They leave in two days, and though that is not enough time to get to know each other, he can't wait six months, he says. He wants to take you out to dinner."
You can't believe it. You never thought you would meet, let alone ever find, the one fated for you.
"Oh, Lanne. What am I to do?" wringing your hands, you start to panic.
"First, let's get you unpacked and decide what you're going to wear tonight for dinner." She takes your hand and practically drags you and your luggage to her guest room.
Later that day, as the sun starts to descend, you meet Lanne in the living room. You twirl, showing her the dress you decided to wear.
"You look beautiful, Yuna!" She takes your hands in hers and twirls with you as you laugh. Starting to get dizzy, you both sit on the couch laughing.
"Yoongi will be here shortly, and we'll be spending the weekend at his place before we leave. I can't tell you how glad I am that you can apartment sit while I doggie sit."
You both are laughing when you hear the door chime.
Lanne jumps up excitedly and runs to the door. She stops, straightens her dress, and takes a deep breath before opening it.
You smile at how cute she is. You see Yoongi gazing at her like no one else is in the world but the two of them. You almost started to cry.
After closing the door, Lanne brings Yoongi over and introduces you. You share greetings and pleasantries, and then Lanne says, "Yoongi, I'll be right out. I have a few things to tell Yuna before I leave."
Yoongi kisses her cheek and tells you it was nice meeting you. He gathers Lanne's bags, which are waiting at the door, and prepares to take them to the car.
"I'll be back up in a few minutes, baby."
"Thank you."
Once the door closes Lanne turns to you. "On the desk you will find the spare apartment keys, and if you need to go anywhere, I left my Uber number for you. He is really sweet, and you don't have to worry about paying him. We have already taken care of that. Oh, here is the list of people who can help you with the apartment if anything happens. My lawyer will be taking care of paying all the bills on both apartments while we're gone, so you don't have to worry about any of that. Oh, and also, there are the numbers to Yoongi's phone as well as Emily's, Namjoon's, and Jimin's in case you need to get in touch with me or Emily concerning the apartments."
You start to laugh at her. She is talking a mile a minute and is so thrilled to be going on tour with her boyfriend and his band--even if it is work, but boy, oh boy, what work.
She is still giving you information, but she is repeating herself. She is so excited about the adventure she is about to embark on when the door opens, and Yoongi walks back in.
"You read to go, baby?" He's approaching Lanne, leaving the door open. He holds her hand and speaks to you.
"Yuna, I ran into someone looking for you." He grins such a cute, gummy grin that you smile. But then suddenly, you almost panic. Could it be Jiho!? No, no way. Your dad promised that Jiho would never know where you moved to, or your mother either.
There is a knock on the open door, and you, Yoongi, and Lanne turn toward the knock.
There stands J Hope with a bouquet in his hands. "May I come in?" he asks Lanne, but his eyes are on you.
Laughing, Lanne quickly hugs you, "I love you. Have fun!" Yoongi leads her to the door. As they reach J Hope, Yoongi can't help but tease him.
"Dongsaeng?" (younger brother)
J Hope snaps out of his gaze and looks at his hyung (older brother). "Yes?"
Yoongi pokes him in the chest, joking, "Don't stay out past your bedtime. We have a lot to do this weekend before we leave."
J Hope blushes and playfully pushes his hyung aside. Yoongi is laughing as he walks you out the door and closes it behind him.
J Hope comes close and holds the flowers out to you. "These are for you. I'm so glad you called me earlier."
You take the flowers from him, and as your hands touch, you once again see the Red String of Fate connecting you both.
"Me too, and these are beautiful."
J Hope feels no flower will ever be as beautiful as you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thus, Yuna and J Hope's relationship starts. Though the tour will physically separate them, they plan on constantly being in touch through texts, voicemails, or FaceTime.
