When you arrived at the luxurious apartment building that left your family in awe, you were all quite excited.

The family that would be visiting Jhope was already known to the porter. The porter entered the unique access code before leading the entire family to the glass elevators on the top penthouse floor. Deep-level security is present on the penthouse floors. Without the authorization of the apartment security, nobody is permitted on that floor. Each apartment's owner has a private corridor they can access with a code. To access the corridor leading to the Hobis residence, you receive the code from your soul partner.

"Now, this is the elite life. I aim to become a successful physician and buy an apartment like this... you more protected than the British royal family?"Keitaro gashed.

You giggled while lightly nudging his shoulder". If you work hard in school and don't waste time dating soulmarked girls, you will succeed", you teased.

When Keitaros notices his parents raising their brows, his eyes enlarge.

His father says a little sharply, "What do I hear?"

Keitaro let out a heavy breath, and you bit your lip to keep from snorting as he looked at you accusingly and said, "Mom, Kira is just silly. Oh my goodness, Maria and I are such great pals. Despite having a soulmark, we enjoy spending time together".

Her dark blonde brows wrinkled, his mother asked, "And how old is this, Maria?" Keitaro exhales heavily.

You smiled and said, "Oh, she's Afonso, the elder sister of Ken's best friend. She shares my age of 21."

""Keitaro, you're still a teenager; don't trigger any intimacy bonds." His father told him to wait for his soul mate.

Keitaro nods and adds, "I'm going to get you back," with his eyes warning you. Just wait for it, and you won't be prepared."

Breathlessly, you laugh. You muttered, "Oh, come on, Kei, that was a slip of the tongue."

You purse your lips as he merely scoffs.

You are still ascending the 24th floor. Your parents was chatting softly about their new son-in-law And how respectful he seems, and how much he clearly loves their daughter. You couldn't stop grinning at how deeply happy they were that your soul mate loved you so much.

Your family was so excited to meet their celebrity son-in-law that they had a hard time comprehending that the average boy was such a prominent A-list citizen.

A huge, heavy double door made of dark mahogany stands in front of you as you enter the lavish private penthouse floor. Your family enters the code. When you get to the only other double door in the corridor, you press the intercom, and shortly after, Hobi opens it wide and beams a warm welcome at you.

His toned arms displayed his casual limited Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch collection. The white, pristine sleeves of the shirt were rolled up to his arms. In addition, he looks fantastic in black casual pants.

The most friendly greeting you got was from him was his smile.

He cheerfully bowed and said, "Welcome family, I'm glad to have you here. ",He merely grinned as he shook hands with your dad, but his gaze quickly shifted to you as you posed beautifully next to Keitaro, who appeared giddy and star-struck.

Along with that, he hugged Keitaro warmly. In Kei's eyes, there were stars. The sight of a boy fan was hilarious. Unfortunately, you had already forgotten about trying to get a picture of his face on camera.

It's worrying what kind of an impact these boys made on people. Hobis' loving eyes, which are now entirely focused on you, catch your sweet grin.

You all come in after enthusiastic hellos and hugs. In brand-new packaging, Hobi had cozy slippers available for everyone of the family to walked around in.

Your mother even promised to establish this cultural custom at your London house because your parents are so fond of it. You only smiled. When Hobi encouraged your family to make themselves at home, you were the first to enter. He pointed Keitaro in the direction of the balcony with a panoramic view of the ocean.

"Keitaro, the balcony is all set up. Please take Eomma and Appa so they can unwind; there are really cold ciders in the container. Help yourselves, please." He made an indication with his hand.

From the spacious lounge to the breathtaking view of the ocean, your folks were mesmerized by the beach condo. Dad quickly handed your mum a cider, and she stood on the glass balcony to take in the sea breeze.He took a beer offered by Keitaro.

Your dad smile widely with satisfaction as he took a seat at the soft white leather lounge chairs. His son-in-law is really well do do. Keitaro took some beautiful pics with his family on the balcony. He is desperate to tell his town but he promised his sister that he will let she informed Ken.

The two of you stood in the kitchen hallway, looking at each other with deep affection. His smirk made you feel giddy.

"Hi baby," you greet him softly. Gosh, you missed sleeping next to him last night. You were having major abandonment issues.

Hobi looked down on you with sparkling eyes, enveloped you in his arms tightly, and gave you a warm, promising kiss on your lips. "I miss you so much, baby; just don't leave me alone like that ever. You look so elegant today. Woah, you are beautiful and totally edible," he said with admiring eyes, his eyes darting from your head to the pointy white shoes.

You chuckled softly at his admiring stare, but the glint in his eyes speaks volumes. Hobi smiled brightly and waggled his eyebrows. You just rolled your eyes at the hidden innuendos.

You had a beautiful pastel pink pencil skirt that fit snugly around your hips, a laced designer long sleeve top, and a cute black fur jacket around your arms. You placed your pastel pink Chanel handbag on the sofa as you and your soulmate walked hand-in-hand.

"Come show us what you've prepared... for the Wilson family?" you wink.

You chuckled as you both walked to where your parents were chatting excitedly. You gasped at the glorious ocean view. You wonder if you would see whales or dolphins here. The balcony is huge with marble tiles, and a wooden patio dinner table seat is already set up with crockery and cutlery. A big dish of grilled black pork belly and numerous veggie dishes and salads await you. A bottle of sparkling wine and different sodas and ciders are in a cooler next to the BBQ stand.

Hobi has already prepared everything. Hobi took your hand and pulled you next to him, and with a gentle smile, he thanked your family once again for raising his beautiful soulmate and accepting him as a new son in the house. He promises your parents that he will only be good to you.

You smiled happily as he hugged you and gave you a warm kiss on your temple. Your family clapped their hands, and you were all invited to enjoy the barbecue.

Hobi grinned as he poured in some wine for your parents first and then for you. Keitaro is not yet eligible to drink, but you already know he and Kenichi have already experienced alcohol behind your parents  backs.Even you with Byron and Sarah on Sarah's 21st birthday.

The day was so relaxing. You and your mom were later seated all by yourself, eating peanut chocolate ice cream and watching the waves while Keitaro played PlayStation on Hobis' massive TV.

Hobi and your dad walked around the penthouse, privately discussing your engagement and future marriage. Your dad already gave him the go-ahead to marry you whenever both of you are ready. He told your dad about his rigorous schedule but that he will always make sure your physical and emotional needs are met and that he will be a big brother to the twins. Watch out for them, especially Kenichi, who will be constantly with BTS as their main backup dancers on tour.

He felt so elated, and when he and your dad emerged from the private lounge, you inhaled with relief when Hobi showed you a thumbs-up sign. They reach the balcony once again.

"Debra Your new son is perfect for Kira. Kira, please respect Hoseok as your soulmate, and Hoseok will always love our beautiful daughter. I only have her in sight. We can see you love each other with passion, and we understand that the red gold string will force you to seal the bond. You are mature, and I believe you know when you will be ready for that step." He encourages you to be there for each other and to support each other.

You and Jhope stood there with all the innocence that you could muster, but what your parents didn't know was that you and your soul mate had already sealed the bond. You are unofficially married by the system. The only thing you know is that you should get officially married with your family and friends as witnesses to your union.

You hugged your dad tightly, and you both thanked them for the official blessing of your union. You can now feel free to put on your engagement ring. You had it in its holder in your bag. Your family stood in awe at your beautiful platinum ring. Keitaro is almost hyperventilating at the most expensive, exquisite ring that your soulmate gifted you with.

His poor brother, Kenichi, is missing out on the best news ever. He definitely won't be impressed with him and Kira. He feels so blessed to witness Jhope and Akira's soulmate status. His sister is so cool and calm, like the moon, and Hobi is energetic and warm, like the sun. The perfect match is made in heaven.

Hobi looked down with a bright smile into your sparkling eyes and said, "Akira Sagami-Wilson. I love you with all my heart. I only see you. Your family is my family, and my family became your family. I promise to your dad that I'll try by all means to protect you and be there for you and your brothers here in Seoul."

Your heart wants to burst at the devotion coming from your soulmate.

You smile brightly up at him,your arms linked around his. "I love you too, Jung Hoseok, and thank you for accepting me."

You grinned in each other's eyes. Your parents' satisfied smiles and Keitaros' smirks make both of you blush red.

The Wilsons spent an extra hour relaxing in the young couple's presence. Hobi, let me take your mom and Keitaro on a little penthouse tour. Keitaro secretly took photos without you watching. He wants to show his brother when you have already revealed your soulmate status. It is still so surreal.

Hobi and his father-in-law took some alone time to chat. Hobi confided in your dad, telling him about the sasaeng on the loose and the precautions the agency is currently taking to safeguard their soulmates. And Kira is the fourth Belle.

Your dad now understands how dangerous it is to be the soulmate of a global A-class citizen.

Jhope got a message from the driver that he would drive them to Gwangju. A few minutes later, the whole family and their weekend bags were all comfortable inside the luxurious Mercedes van. You and your families breathe hitch to the opulence and sheer luxury of the van.

It looked like a limo inside. Your parents sat together, facing the television screen. You sat next to Hobi, and Keitaro opted for a window seat. You all took a family selfie inside the fan. The family promised not to post anything online.

The van was decked out with assorted drinks,sweet treats, and crispy snacks. Keitaro was flabbergasted. The three-hour trip to J Hope's family home was relaxed, and he told them about their tours and their hardships during trainee days. Your parents were safe to say that you were in love" with your soulmate. His humility and sunny disposition impressed them so much, even when he suggested that he speak to management so that Keitaro could accompany them during his breaks on tour to be with his twin brother. It was so difficult for Keitaro to be without his half.

.....

It was almost five p.m. when they arrived in Gwangju province.

You felt the nervous butterflies wreaking havoc in your stomach and the prospect of meeting his family. You want to barf.

Jhope looked down on your anxious face as your driver entered one of the affluent estates in the city. It was a very high-security neighborhood. The driver knows the code, and they could easily drive in.

"Darling, my family is very excited to meet you. Trust me. They are so welcoming, and Jiwoo will be going overboard. She even warned me not to overfeed you because she and Eomma were busy with the biggest Korean cuisine buffet. It shows how much they anticipate the Wilsons' visit." He kissed you softly in the temple.

You smile softly and nod,snuggling deeper into his embrace.

The occupants' eyes almost bulged out when they entered the most tranquil estate. It was leafy, with a shimmering lake. Numerous mansions surround this lake.

Your mom's eyes  widened!"What a beautiful environment!" She gushed, her eyes enlarged at the opulent mansions they passed.

Jhope smiles. "It is. My dad always wanted to build my mom her dream home, and while I was still in training, he bought a big plot of land and built this house for us. They moved in three years ago. Its secure and away from sasaengs and annoying gossipers."

He gestured with his finger at a mansion next to the lake. It was the backyard of the house. His dad also owned a luxury cabin boat that was docked. They love fishing and camping as a family.

"Look, Kira, there is my family home. We just need to drive around the block to the front entrance of our house."

You all gasped in shock at the beautiful house on the lake.

Your dad and Keitaro looked overly giddy. They love camping. At least they have more in common with Kira's soulmate family.

Jhope smiles widely when they reach the double-story mansion. You all looked up at the big open windows and the wealth around these mansions.

When the driver presses in the special code for Hobi of the house, they drive in silently past the big flying house fountain and immaculately landscaped garden.

When the van drove under the huge entrance, the Jungs' stood outside with wide smiles. You could see the excitement in the expressions.
When the driver stopped and opened the doors,Jhope was out first to greet his family that had run up to the van.

"Oh my goodness,welcome back home, my baby! Where's my new  daughter?"His mom gushed .Jiwoo was jumping up and down with a big, giddy smile next to her smirking soulmate,Jordan. He was trying to reign her in but Jiwoo is too happy for Hobi.

She hugged her son and peered into the van. His dad was just smiling happily as Hobi turned to the van.

Jhope grinned. "Hello, papa, Eomma! I'll let you meet the Wilsons from London. Er, family, meet my soulmate's parents, Mr. Tom and Ms. Debra Wilson, and Keitaro, one of Akira's twin brothers." He stretched his arm out and helped his parents-in-law out of the vehicle.

There were exuberant welcomes. Embracing until a nervous you and Keitaro left the vehicle.

"And the love of my life,Akira Sagami-Wilson—;" he embraced you softly while introducing you to his family,who looked so elated. 

The Jungs were flabbergasted at your beautiful Asian beauty.

"Oh my goodness, Hobi, what a beautiful soulmate you were gifted with. She is gorgeous." His mom was over excited as she embraced you tightly. Your parents stood with a wide smile as they beheld your first meeting with your new patents.

His dad also welcomed you with a tight hug. You got a small hug from Jordan,who waggled his eyebrows at a flustered Hobi. But you didn't anticipate the overexcitement when his sister got to you. Jiwoo was everything you imagined her to be. Hobis' older sister was energetic and 100 times more vocal and expressive than her brother. They were carbon copies of each other.

" Wow! You really are too pretty for Hobi! Gosh, girl, I love your elegant style. Tell me who your stylist is,please!" Not caring about the amused looks of the family or even Hobis' exasperation, she linked her arms with yours dragging you away as you followed behind the delighted in-laws in the magnificent foyer. She was chatting excitedly with you totally  ignoring Hobi.

Your parents clicked immediately, and they were chatting while walking the big entrance room in,while Hobis family Butler helped with the luggage.

Keitaro chuckled when he and Hobi walked behind the family house.

Hobi groaned as he looked at an amused Keitaro. "Brace yourself, bro, for a weekend of sibling squabbling. Don't say I didn't tell you,but Jiwoo is a real pain." He had a cute scowl on his face.

Keitaro grins. "Hmm, it seems you are the little,bullied maknae at home. I don't think she is worse than Kira. Sorry,  bro, but Kira is the worst."

They both snickered as they walked in.

You and your family were pleasantly surprised by the elegance of this house. Hobis' mom was beyond excited as she told Jiwoo to cool off her overbearing affection as she wanted to talk to her daughter-in-law.

Your new mom took your hand and gestured to sit next to her after your family complimented the Jungs on the beautiful home. The walls were high with big windows adorned with cream white silk curtains. Gleaming walnut-brown laminates adorned themassive room with an enormous gray rug in the middle. The open patio doors lead out to the private pool adjacent another private lounge and dining area. The soft sofas were neutral gray with shiny silver cushions. There were two golden yellow chairs where your dad and Mr. Jung sat. The Jungs had an impressive display of wines in a glass enclosed cellar near the entrance room, and your dad offered two bottles of very expensive wines to the Jungs. And your mom hands Eomma a silver gift bag filled with boxes with English chocolate dates and expensive nougats.

Keitaro made himself at home,while Hobi and the butler took the luggage upstairs. Hobi looked so relaxed and delighted to be back at home. His demeanour made his family very happy.

Mr. Jung looked so happy and friendly,. "Welcome to Gwangju, and we hope you'll have a lovely stay with us." He offered your dad a good seat next to him.

You sat tightly next to your new mom with your hands in hers. She couldn't get enough of her son's lovely soulmate, and you couldn't believe the welcoming reception that almost made you burst into tears.

Hobi was right—they loved you instantly!

A/n . There you are. Akira met Hobis' family.
