The next morning...

JHope had already gotten up, showered, and spent time reading and composing lyrics, but when he realized how peaceful you were, he let you sleep blissfully. They both headed to bed around midnight after a wonderful evening.

Jhope hoping to tell the flight crew that they'd want to eat a light breakfast before arrival in Busan in a few hours.

He was so relieved that he informed his soulmate about his frightening history with the saseang, though he was a bit concerned about the obsessed fan's present whereabouts.

BangPd and management have already notified him that he would be driven to their destination by a bodyguard. His girl informed her parents that she would be bringing her soulmate to meet them. Afterward, they'll spend the weekend with the Jungs, who can't wait to meet his soulmate.

Management arranged for him to be chauffeured in one of their smaller SUV vehicles. He'll spend the two days in his own beach penthouse, which is close to his girls' apartment. He and Jimin, on the recommendation of their eldest Hyung, also purchased a property near the beach, but Seokjin chose also a penthouse over a beach house. Jimin frequently returns home and is capable of maintaining his property on a large property. The beach is right outside his door.

He only made a few trips to Busan, but he hired a housekeeper to keep his penthouse in excellent condition, and Jungkook enjoyed spending time alone in his apartment when he visited his family discreetly.

He returned to the bedroom after an hour to find his sweetheart still sound sleeping. He gave her a delicate kiss on her lovely cheeks and grinned deeply. He was overjoyed that he had found his girl and that she had forgiven him and loved him so much. Because of his irrational phobia, he made life difficult for her. 

Her eyelids were twitching, and she was trying to wake up. Jhope grinned as he saw her eyelids flutter open; her strong brows wrinkled slightly, and a calm smile caressed her face. She is stunning. That is the sight he wants to see each morning.

He softly chuckled at her flushing cheeks and murmured, "Good morning, love...."  When he glanced down at her, he touched her face. When she sat up slowly, she let out a deep, contented sigh.

You grinned, "Morning sweetie, blimey, why didn't you wake me up earlier?" You grabbed your phone, from the charger and were staring at it to check to time.

J Hope smiled and nodded: "You slept so well, and I wanted you to rest. Breakfast will be served by the crew. I asked them to wait until you woke up."

"Thank you; I'm nervous about meeting your family, but introducing you to Kenichi and Keitaro will be a show stopper." The twins will be astounded.  You sigh heavily, knowing Kenichi will burn you for hiding your status. He'll want to know what transpired and when it happened.

"Sweetheart... You have nothing to be scared of," J -Hope sat next to you on the bed and wrapped you in a tight embrace."  Our parents seem pleased and excited for us. I hope you could stay in my beach condo at Haeundae Beach with me. However, as you mentioned, your father will have an aneurysm if he finds out about our intimate relationship," he quipped especially when he see your wide eyes.

"I know right, so what you can do is allow me to spend also some time with them before they travel back to London. You and I will spend a lot of time with your family." You cupped his cheek and kissed him on the cheek.

"That noona of mine will hog your time," he scrunched his nose cutely. "Gosh! Well, here's an idea. I'll take you to my condo first, then to your apartment to meet your parents, spend time with you, and get to know your family. I'll then arrange a great afternoon Korean BBQ for you and your family at my beach condo the next day. Afterward, my driver will take us to Gwangju, which would take us about 2.5 hours to my family's home." Jhope smiled as he messed up your mahogany brown hair with his fingers. You just scrunch up your nose, seeming more anxious than ever. Are his parents going to embrace you? You've always been wary of whether people would like you, but his sister does, so you'll hope for the best.

"They will love you, sweetie; don't stress. My parents will want us to marry as soon as possible, and I'm sure I'll be terrified to meet your family. Tell me more about your dad. He's the one who makes me nervous." Jhope smirked.

"My father is...well, he's like any other dad," you said, beaming. " Let me just shower quickly, and I'll tell you about my family history over breakfast, okay?" You kiss him hastily on the lips and dash to the bathroom to shower.

Jhope left you to your routine and headed out to the lounge to text on his phone while he waited for you.

The Bangtan club was online. As he saw all the chats, he grinned. Jimin is constantly changing his profile name as if he is unaware that he knows about it.

SunshineJ joined the chat

EatJin: Oh la la la someone is online...welcome bro. How's the honeymoon?

ChimLove:  Is there still honey left, I wonder.

RaPmoN: Shush you...before cockroaches come from your mouth.😒

ChimLove: I didn't even say anything bad...🙄

JkSeagul: Since when! ...Hey Hyung...when are you coming back? We miss you.

SunshineJ: We are on our way to Busan-meeting the in-laws and from there we are meeting my parents. 

theGenius: Good luck with that. Meeting the parents always leads to anxiety. 

Vante: It will not be that bad Hobi, her parents will love the Sunshine.

ChimLove: ...Until they found out how he treated her the whole time.

RaPmoN: Seriously Jimin!🤨

ChimLove: Just saying...did I commit an unpardonable sin...jeez😑😕

RaPmoN: He had his reasons why he didn't complete the bond at first and he worked on his fears.

SunshineJ: I know I was a very difficult and hotheaded soulmate.

theGenius: You think?

 SunshineJ:  I know I was more than that...But we worked out everything and she forgave me and we are having an awesome time. We love each other very much.

RaPmoN:  I'm glad to hear that Hobi. We are so proud of you and good luck in meeting the parents. I'm sure they will love you.

Vante: We miss you and the Bells just wanted to talk to your girl, but her phone is off.

SunshineJ: She forgot to charge it last night. I had to put it on charge for her this morning. She will talk to them soon.

theGenius: Ji-Ho can't wait for her to choose her room in the Bells' apartment. I heard they have a lot of girly things planned and with Samiya as the ring leader, you don't want to know. Just be ready not to see her as often as you like even when we are in the same mansion. When Ji-Ho met the two Bells for the first time...they know I want my soulmate after 8 pm with me...so just lay the ground rules early otherwise Jin-hyungs soulmate will monopolize your girl.

SunshineJ: Thanks I make use of that advice. I'm not ready to share her so soon at the Mansion.

RaPmoN: Are you going to meet BangPD? 

SunshineJ: Yep...first thing next week when we are back on the job. How are things there at the agency?

theGenius: like always...just the security has been beefed up on what happened in Tokyo. 

SunshineJ: So they didn't find the saseang! oh my gosh!😲

EatJin: I'm sorry Hobi. Sejin didn't want to alert you...but she is after your soulmate. Luckily she thinks she is in Seoul and not in Busan.

SunshineJ: Oh my goodness!😮

theGenius: She will be protected. Don't fear ok. Just be vigilant. That saseang even sent gifts to the agency but you know they will never reach us. The police are on her trail, but she is so slippery. 

Jhope almost feels like vomiting. He will not be able to relax if that creepy psycho is not locked up and his girl and Yunru be safe. 

Vante: Don't worry Hobi-Hyung. Our girls are safe. Enjoy your time and we want to hear all the glorious details ok. 

SunshineJ: Ok...I need to leave the chat. Kira and I still need to enjoy our breakfast...I'm starving.

ChimLove:  Why are you starving? Didn't you have your physical breakfast this morning?😉😚

SunshineJ: Oh my gosh!😬

RaPmoN: Chimmy please for heaven's sake leave the chat! The amount of nonsense that is spewed out of your mouth is worrying.

ChimLove:  Your minds are all in the gutter. I'm talking about bacon, eggs, and kimchi pancakes ...that kind of breakfast..what were you guys thinking..gosh.😒

EatJin: We also know what you actually mean. The nuances are so you-like🤨

JkSeagul: 🤣🤣🤣 It's true Hyung. Oh, before I forget, yeah please tell  Akira a big thank you for the Japanese snack box. We love the Jagariko chips snacks.

EatJin:  Yeah because you, Chimmy, and TaeTae almost eat the whole box, during your midnight gaming. 🤨

SunshineJ: Well, that is our Chimmy...I'll tell her..'.I'm sighing off. See you or talk to you soon.

SunshineJ left the chat.

When he senses your presence, Jhope just shakes his head and widens his eyes. You smell lovely, and he jumps up to admire your magnificent presence even more. You wore a patterned chiffon blouse and a white-cream light top, as well as tight white trousers that hugged every curve. Your enticement almost made Jhope's eyes bulge out of their sockets. As he noticed you lift an eyebrow and smirk, he cleared his throat.

"Oh my goodness," Jhope said, his eyes wide. " You look gorgeous, baby. "Very elegant and exquisite," he muttered as he lovingly took your hands in his and kissed your ring finger with the magnificent teal diamond engagement ring.

"Thank you, sweetheart," you said, with a big smile and a cute flush on your cheeks." I'm excited to meet my parents as well, but right now I'm so hungry I could eat your finger off."

"My cheeks are healthier," Jhope laughed. " There's more meat there." As you winked back, he just wiggled his brows.

"I'll keep that in mind...preferably when we're alone," you say gently.

Jhopes' breath twitched slightly. "How come you have such a knack to say something so effortless and completely turn me on? Gosh, let's go eat; else, you'll need another change of clothing."

You laughed as you were escorted to the center part, where a delectable breakfast buffet awaited you. For you both, the flight crew chef made such a very filling meal.

You just treat yourself to a light selection of meats and slices of bread. Jhope ate a hearty breakfast, and you both took a seat by the window. You have a relaxed breakfast, conversing about his career and his family. You grin as you see compassionate he is when he talks about his family ties.

"So tell me about your family," he asked as he sipped his filter coffee and glanced at your adorable grin. " Are they as insane as mine? You have twin brothers, but your surnames differ." He seemed puzzled.

You took a deep breath and looked dejected. "Erm, the twins and I are actually adopted," you said quietly.

JJhope's eyes widen. "Well, so, if I may ask, your adopted parents are from England. They raised a beautiful person, and I must thank them for raising my lovely soulmate." He smiled as he gazed fondly at you. His dazzling eyes glowed in your eyes.

"Yes, the Wilsons are from Kensington in London. My adoptive mother was unable to have children. She had a hysterectomy when she was younger. Womb cancer, so she and my adoptive father took a vacation in Tokyo, and all of a sudden she and my father visited orphanages to see if they could include it as one of their international charities. She adores children, and she spotted me, a very solitary, introverted girl sitting on the windowsill, reading. I was staring at them as our carer escorted them up the stairs. My mother and I locked gazes, and her gorgeous gray-blue eyes were gentle and full of compassion. "When you recall your first meeting with your new parents, your eyes soften.

"Wow...so that was fate," Jhope pondered.

"I was thirteen, and I was never a bubbly child, and no one was interested in adopting me. I was too gloomy and aloof. Boys at my school constantly bully and harass me, but I love my carer and beg her not to let anybody adopt me. I intended to stay till I became 18 years old. I have seen some of the creepiest parents who adopted some of the children and mistreated them or took them only for government funds. So we came to an agreement. So the Wilsons spotted the mischievous 9-year-olds Kenichi and Keitaro and wanted to adopt them, as well as me; they wanted a teen girl as well. They were desperate for me, but I was frightened. " You inhaled deeply thinking about how the Wilsons left that month and corresponded with the orphanage in the following weeks, then came back and wanted to talk to you. " I met with the Wilsons, who assured me that I would never lose my Japanese identity or surname. I wanted to find my parents when I'm a little mature. And my carer thought it was safer for me to leave Tokyo and I could never understand the reason."

"Wow, so you let them adopt you as a 13-year-old while maintaining your identity." There is so much lurking in his soulmate, he looked stunned. Jhope fell more and more in love with her at that moment.

"Yeah, and three months later we packed up and the twins and I were officially adopted by the affluent Wilsons," you grinned and inhaled. " They reside in a magnificent penthouse and lavish us with goodies. They put us in the best private preparatory schools, among children from dignitaries, aristocracy, and political families. There, I stumbled into my best friend Byron. You'll meet him soon. He is mated to a royal lady. My adoptive parents are Caucasians OR white Brits, and my mother is a successful senior accountant, and my dad is a college professor---"

"Oh, my goodness. My dad is a college professor, and he recently started a new position at another institution as a history professor. My mother has a boutique. Jiwoo is an influencer who is launching an internet shopping company." He seemed overjoyed that your fathers would have something in common.

"That's fate," you smiled as you wiped your lips with the linen napkins.

"So, how did you land up at an orphanage? Do you know your biological parents?" As he peered into your dark eyes, he furrowed his brows.

"For years, I suffered from unexplained nightmares and excruciating migraines. My birth parents had a harrowing past. I just recently discovered that my nightmares had an explanation and an origin. My parents had a not memorable past. My biological mother was an undercover cop, and my father was a chemical scientist. This infamous mafia gang abducted and confined him for five months. They escaped but someone in the force was a mole and ratted them out. They got tortured and killed; my mom's friend was also in the police force. She and her husband took care of me. I was four years old when I witnessed my parents' murder—" Your eyes teared up.

Jhope leaped up as he sensed your deep anguish and drew you up into a tight embrace. "Oh, my sweetheart, I can't imagine how you must've been feeling."

Your warm tears streamed down his silk shirt as your arms tightened around your soulmate's waist while he caressed and reassured you. Shame wanted to overwhelm him as he realized that he added to your misery.

"Yeah. For years, I had night terrors. My adoptive mother sent me to various therapists to get rid of my night terrors, but they persisted until I figured out what was causing them. I also found my siblings. We've remained in touch since then... I'm just relieved to know who my parents are. I now have two families and a lineage," you grinned into his chest, wiping your face with the back of your hands. When he chuckled, you could hear his chest rumble.

"No, you have three sets of the family now. Our children will be so privileged... Sweetheart, I admire you. You are my entire life. I appreciate you sharing with me about your past." He embraced you firmly as he kiss you on the forehead.

You gaze up at him with cautious eyes,"... But, something unusual occurred in Tokyo. I discovered that the ones responsible for my parents and my first adopted parent's death are after me. My first foster parent got mysteriously killed in a light aircraft.  Evidently, my father was hiding something with me. I have no idea what it is. They even harassed daily my foster parent's mom.  They're convinced it's stashed among my possessions, which I took to London... Hobi I'm so terrified that they will locate me. These are Tokyo's most renowned mafia criminals. While they were following Kenichi and me throughout Tokyo, we had to run. Fortunately, I found the information I needed about my history at the orphanage."

"Oh my gosh, I recall our last week in Tokyo," Jhope says, his eyes widening. "I felt your terror in tidal waves, and I couldn't focus on anything. I had been absolutely petrified, and I know I ordered you to stay away from me, but I couldn't just sit, and the Hyungs had to keep a close watch on you.   You tried to keep your emotions in control, but some got through."

Your pained eyes looked troubled " I had too much to deal with, and after our encounter, I needed to be alone. My background is dangerous, Hobi, and I'm not safe right now. I'm so frightened that they will trace my trail to Korea." You shudder at the sight of those massive Japanese thugs. They terrified you and Kenichi out of your wits.

"Oh, my gosh. Bighit will reassure you that you are safe; they have even reinforced security at the agency specifically for those obsessive seasangs." You could feel a tremble run through him. "I'll assign you another bodyguard to keep an eye on you. Perhaps get you a driver who takes you to and from your apartment, or you need to come live with us on President's Hill. It is very guarded."

"Thank you, darling; I'll consider it. I'm not sure what they want from me or what my real father has hidden in my stuff. They ransacked my family home and orphanage bedroom. They believe my father concealed something in my plushie toys. My dad was abducted to work on their new drug, which is similar to opium and heroin, and my mother and her friends were sent to smuggle him out of the drug den. This underground stuff was keeping me up at night. But once we completed the bond, I never experienced these night terrors anymore." You appeared worried as you considered those scary men.

Jhope nodded, completely realizing why he had also suffered restless nights and migraines. It was what his soulmate was experiencing in Tokyo. It's no surprise she felt restless, and his presence and scent allowed her to sleep peacefully without night terrors.

Jhope gently raised your face with his palms, peered into your anxious eyes, and murmured quietly, "Sweetheart, don't panic, alright?  They will not come near you. If we receive any leads about them in Seoul, I believe BangPd and the police will handle it." He tenderly kisses your lips and brushes lightly over your hair.

"So I have a lot to be grateful for—-to have you in my life, and losing you is not an option," he lifts his eyes and smiles warmly into your eyes."I love you, sweetheart."

"And I love you too," you add tenderly. Then you gently traced your arms over his shoulders, rising on your tiptoe to reach him, and kissed him sweetly on his soft lips.

Jhope smiled into your kiss and captured your eager lips once again.

There isn't a concern in the world. You are protected as long as you have Jhope.
