Chapter 19: "Nice to finally meet you..brother in-law"

"Okay, okay. I'll bring him over for dinner tonight, alright?" Sofia said exasperatedly, as she held her phone close to her ear and rolling her eyes at the snarky remarks her brother threw in. "I bet he doesn't even exist." He joked as she scoffed but couldn't hide her chuckles. "Ah, I miss you, little sis." He blurted out albeit softly but still heartfelt. "Hm? I couldn't hear you~!!" Sofia teased as a smile graced her lips. There's rarely moments of affection between them, especially with her brother taking the initiative. When random bursts of affection flow out of him, she treasured it with her all. "I'm just kidding. I miss you too..Okay bye, see you later." 

J-hope jogged out to the kitchen, just a second after Sofia ended the phone call with her brother. "Jagi, who was that on the phone?" J-hope asked, trying to sound casual but he was terrified of meeting her family. He had only met her parents, but after all the stories Sofia told him about her brother, the thought of meeting him scared J-hope. "It was my brother." Sofia answered and took a sip out of her coffee cup while J-hope's eyes widened in fear. "I'm sorry, y-y-your b-b-brother...?" 

His heartbeat had sped up erratically as Sofia laughed heartily before going over to him and wrapped her arms around him. "Oppa, you don't have to be scared. He just seems mean to make sure no one hurts me. I KNOW he will love you." She pecks his lips. " So don't worry or stress on this. Okay?" J-hope hung his lower lip out in a pout as he nodded and pecked her head. "Alright jagi, so when am I meeting them?" 

J-hope questioned as Sofia's next words made his hands shook. "Tonight." Sofia smirked and pulled him into a hug before he had time for a second panic attack. "You'll be fine! Just relax and be yourself." 

Jin and Emily were watching TV while Chae Young buried herself into a book, clearly fascinated with the idea of a happily ever after. Emily's phone suddenly rang. " Hm, it's my agent...Hello?....Okay, thank you." Emily's voice remained calm, however her face clearly displayed the level of delight that she felt with the news she suddenly received. 

"My book sold nearly 1 million copies and it's trending now!!!" Emily exclaimed as Jin smiled widely and quickly pulled her into a kiss. "Jagi, I'm so proud of you!!!" Jin cheered as Emily fell into embrace, and snuggled happily against him. "Wait, so that means you'll have a book signing?" Jin asked as Emily smiled brightly and nodded. "Wah, if it gets made into a movie, can I play a role in it?" Jin pleaded with hopeful eyes as Emily laughed heartily amidst nodding. "Of course~!!" 

Jin smiled so widely that he was afraid it would start to hurt, but his smile was certainly  an understatement to how proud he was of his wife. "Ah, I'm so happy for you!!" Jin rocked her side to side as she giggled and wrapped her arms around his slender waist. Chae Young ran up to Emily and squealed over the cute scene in the little story she was reading. "My 3 year old has officially become a fangirl." Emily muttered as she suppressed her laughter before nodding and listened attentively to her incoherent rambling. 

Jin smiled and ruffled Chae Young's hair before picking her up. "Come on, time for your nap~." Jin sang as Emily's eyes lit up and clung to her husband and daughter. "Can I join? It's been such a long time since I last heard you singing a lullaby for her~." The small realization made her heart ache for their schedule was always contradicted, it's been a while since they had been together as a whole family. 

"I miss grandma and grandpa." Chae Young cooed as Jin's face lit up. "Oh yeah, I forgot! They're coming over today!" "Are you supposed to pick them up?" Emily asked as Jin nodded frantically. "Crap, how did I forget that?" Emily lightly smacked his arm as she motioned to Chae Young with her eyes. Jin lowered his head sheepishly as he kissed Chae Young's head. "I'll go fetch them. You put Chae Young to bed?" Emily offered, however Chae Young reached out to her with a whine. 

"I'll go pick them up, it seems Chae Young no longer wants me to put her to sleep." Jin muttered with playful sadness as Emily giggled and scooped Chae Young up in her arms. "Ah, let's take a nap now, sweetie." Emily cheered softly as Chae Young smiled and buried her face into Emily's neck. 

Jungkook came back home after an early morning workout at the gym, as his face displayed how 'traumatized' he felt. He saw an adorable little boy at the gym, trying to lift tiny barbells but he was struggling. Jungkook wanted to help him however Jungkook received a glare. "I don't need your help, you're a weakling!" The little boy spat with a biting tone as Jungkook scoffed in disbelief. "Are you serious? Do you not see these muscles?" Jungkook asked, worked up as he flexed to make his muscles even more visible. 

"Psh, my  daddy has bigger muscles." The little boy spat as Jungkook got even more irritated at the rudeness from the little boy. "Yeah, you have nothing to say!" The little boy jeered as Jungkook sighed and walked off. It was evident how immature Jungkook still was, and therefore not ready to have his own kids. 

"Jagi~." Jungkook whined as Teresa chuckled and ran her hand through his hair. "What's up?" He sighed in pleasure as he looked up at her. "Let's not have kids yet." Jungkook faked a sob as Teresa's shoulder convulsed with laughter. "Alright." Teresa readily agreed for she wasn't ready for kids herself. 

Sheri was out with Sofia and Mella as they walked past the building of Starship Ent. and bumped into a few members of Monsta X.  Shownu, Wonho and Kihyun smiled at the three girls while the girls' jaws dropped. "Ah, Hi." They greeted quietly while the boys chuckled and smiled warmly. "What are you guys' doing here?" Shownu asked while his gaze focused on Sofia, he knew she's married to J-hope but couldn't deny to himself how beautiful he found her to be. 'She's gorgeous.' He thought as she swung back her long and luscious curls. 

Wonho smiled sweetly as he greeted Sheri and held her hand for a second too long. " Wow, I can't believe there's such a beautiful Monbebe." Wonho was obviously flirting with her as Sheri smiled nervously. Kihyun and Mella bickered playfully as his hand gently grazed her arm. 

Feeling a strong temptation to grab her arms and crash his lips against hers. 'Stop it Kihyun! She's dating Min Yoongi!' He scolded himself as he smiled brightly at her while they chatted. 

Namjoon, J-hope, and Yoongi were strolling the streets as they squinted their eyes when they saw the Monsta X members with their respective wives. "What the hell does he think he's doing?" Yoongi cursed as he sprinted over to where Kihyun and Mella were. While Namjoon and J-hope jogged over, feeling skeptical and a little peeved. 

"Yoongi oppa!" Mella called out as Yoongi smiled warmly at her and tucked an arm around her waist, before smiling softly at Kihyun. "Sup." They greeted each other as Mella frowned at the awkward atmosphere. Namjoon openly claimed his territory over Sheri in front of Wonho as he smirked in triumph. To Namjoon, Wonho was a huge threat because he could easily sweep Sheri off her feet with his vocal range and warm voice. 

J-hope smiled brightly at Shownu and casually pulled Sofia close to him as Shownu smiled back awkwardly. 'Dammit, it's so awkward now.' "Well, we'll see you around!" J-hope greeted before the rest mumbled their goodbyes and walked off. 

Sofia's brother had just got out of the market as he bumped into Wonho. However, from behind he didn't know that. J-hope and Wonho had a similar build and similar hair color. "Hoseok!" Luis called out as Wonho turned around. "Um Hello?" Wonho answered skeptically, not really sure that the man who called him out was a fan. "I'm Sofia's brother Luis." Luis extended a hand as Wonho shook it and smiled warmly at him. "Oh, nice to meet you." Wonho greeted before Luis shoved a bag of groceries into his hand. 

"I hear you're a good cook! Why don't you make something and bring it over tonight, alright?" Luis ran off as Wonho called out to him. "Wait! Luis!" Wonho looked around frantically as he dialed Shownu's number. "Hyung. I think Sofia's brother assumed I was someone else, can you give me her number?" Wonho nodded and breathed heavily as he dialed Sofia's number. 

However, Sofia didn't have her phone on her as she was in the shower and J-hope didn't pick up an unknown number from her phone. " Dammit, pick up the phone!" Wonho complained as he made his way back to the dorm first. 

Jin and Emily were entertaining his parents as she smiled respectfully and often grabbed some food for both of them. His parents were happy to see how much love and care Emily showered Jin with. "Aigoo son, you married the right girl." His mom cooed as Emily blushed and smiled shyly. "Thank you mom." Emily said as his dad pat her shoulder. "You guys love each other, don't let anything come in between that, alright?" His dad advised as she smiled warmly at him and nodded. 

Chae Young quickly climbed onto her grandfather's lap as she snuggled against him and smiled cutely at him. "Grandpa~. I missed you guys so much!!" She exclaimed as he laughed and pats her cheek before he kissed her head. "We missed you too, Chae Young." Her grandparents both exclaimed as they played with her. 

"They love you more and more each time, Jagi." Jin whispered in her ear as she turned her head and pecked his lips. 

J-hope and Sofia arrived at her brother's place, however Luis's jaws dropped when he saw the 'Hoseok' next to Sofia. "Um...You're Hoseok? Jung Hoseok?" He asked, quietly and bashfully as J-hope nodded. "Hello! Nice to meet you." J-hope extended a hand which Luis shook shyly as Sofia's eyebrows furrowed. "What did you do?" Sofia asked directly, as her brother chuckled nervously. 

Sofia then checked her phone and noticed many missed calls from Shownu. It dawned on her what happened. "Hello? Shownu?....Oh my god, okay I see. Thanks for telling me." Sofia glared at her brother and right then, Wonho came running up with the bag of groceries in his hand. 

"Sofia!" He called out, panting and tired. "Wonho! I'm so sorry. My brother got you mixed up with my husband J-hope." Sofia apologized as Wonho smiled and shook his head. "It's fine." He said and smiled at Luis before walking away. "Ah, sorry about that J-hope." Luis apologized as J-hope chuckled and shook his head. "It's fine, hyung." J-hope answered with a smile that also made Luis loosen up. 

"See, now you guys are getting along well." Sofia remarked as she settled on the couch with ease while the boys prepared the food. "You're so lazy, how did you get an idol to marry you?" Luis joked as J-hope laughed heartily and added to it. "She blackmailed me, Hyung~!!" J-hope pretended to whine as Sofia laughed fervently. 

Natalie and Jimin went out to the  beach, despite the sky being pitch-dark. The darkness and soothing sounds of the waves only seemed to entice them even more. "You wanna go swimming?" They asked simultaneously as they giggled and ran into the water, hand in hand. Jimin splashed her as she shrieked in laughter and feeling the ice cold water. 

"Yah! Jimin oppa, come here!" Natalie chased him in the pitch darkness, unaware that Jimin turned around and caught her in his arms. "You're trapped." Jimin cooed teasingly as he gently kissed her lips and scooped her up into his arms. "Jimin oppa, what are you doing?" Natalie asked worriedly as Jimin laughed amusedly. "I'm just picking you up, why are you suspicious?" "Because you have this golden opportunity to just drop me into the water!" She shrieked as she locked her arms around his neck. 

Jimin laughed, his laughter sounding charismatic and melodious in her ears. "Aish, Jagi I won't drop you~." Natalie smiled and snuggled against his chest. " I love you Natalie~!! Soon to be Mrs.Park." He cooed as she smacked his chest, making them both fall into the water. "Ahh!!" Natalie and Jimin screamed in unison when they were soaked with the very cold water. 

Taehyung and Joanna were on their way home from a date night, as Danny once again ran up to Joanna. However, this time he was completely intoxicated as he caressed her hands and leaned in as though to kiss her. Joanna kicked as Taehyung roughly pulled him away. "I thought I told you to stay away from my girlfriend!" Taehyung roared in fury as Joanna's eyes widened. It was her first time witnessing such a side to him. 

Danny quickly scurried back up and charged at Taehyung whom blocked and dodged his blows. "Leave us alone!!" Taehyung snapped as he roughly grabbed Danny by his collars. Dragging him to a corner where Taehyung had dropped him and continued on his way home with Joanna. Guilt was beginning to fill him up but he was also scared that helping him would only make Joanna vulnerable to his advances. 

"Jo...Joanna..Please come back to me." Joanna felt nothing towards his words, but felt her heart clench at the revelation that he still loved her.
