Forever Together

Chapter 98

"Aimes, hurry up, or we are going to be late." Stasia heard her yelling, almost ready, as she left her room. "Trey, Jesse, where are the triplets?" she asked as they scrambled to find something they had to have right that instant. 

"I don't know; I saw them in the game room earlier," Trey said without even looking at her.

"Oppa," she yelled. The boys groaned, and she stuck her tongue out at them. 

"You are way too old to be calling Jin Appa Oppa. Find a new nickname, Eomma," Jesse said with a disgusted face. 

Then Jin walked into the room, "Yah I like it when she calls me Oppa, it makes me feel young."

 Jungkook was right behind him. " Too bad you aren't young." They started fighting. You'd think after being together for over twenty years that they'd stop fighting, but no. 

Stasia threw her hands in the air, "Yah, where are the triplets? You know they take the longest getting ready." Jin gave her a quick kiss and ran off to get them. She walked over to the intercom, "You have five minutes to be standing in the kitchen and 100% ready to go. If you make us late for Aim's graduation, I will personally torture you for a week. Be prepared for your Appas and I to take your phones and post all over your social media!" She heard groans from several children.

Everyone was ready and getting into the cars. Yoongi was driving, and Stasia was trying not to cry. Aimes was graduating from High School, and she was #1 in the country. Stasia couldn't believe it; her little princess scored higher than everyone else. They aren't the type of parents that push studying on their kids. They know test scores aren't the most important thing in the world. They want their kids to be happy; that's what matters. 

When they were seated in the auditorium, it was quite a show since there were 18 of them. They took their seats and waited for Ami to give her speech. When she walked up to the podium, she smiled at her family.

"For those of you who don't know, I'm Ami Lee. I'm the daughter of the girl that stole BTS' hearts. You see my Mom was at their concert when a tragic accident happened, my Father Noah sacrificed his life to save my Mom, and without him knowing he saved me too. My Mom was pregnant, and they didn't know. My Father literally threw my Mom into Appa Koo's arms. The next several weeks were spent in the hospital, attending my father's funeral and packing up the house. My seven Appa's were there through everything. They loved my Mom so much that they convinced her to come back to Korea with them. They all fell in love; they gave me nine amazing siblings and more love than any one person deserves. When my Mom fell into a coma for two years, my Appa's were always there. They took care of our family and were by my Mom's side the entire time. When she woke up, I'll never forget that day. Everyone was so happy; they had missed her so much, and now she was finally there. When I was asked to talk about someone who inspired me, my Mom was my first thought. She was just a young pregnant widow when she came to this country. Not knowing what to expect, she did it with her head held high. I know a lot of people look down on my mother, but I have never seen a happier family. All 10 of us were raised in a household that knows nothing but love and happiness. When I found out I came first in the country, my Appa Yoongi asked me why. Why would I spend all my time studying, there's so much more to life than test scores. When I told him that this made me happy and it was what I wanted, he looked at me with a huge smile and told me how proud he was to call me his daughter. You see, they were extremely famous idols; they didn't have to take us in and love us, but they did with their entire heart. If you take nothing else away from this, remember that love is the most powerful emotion there is. Because of the love of 9 people, I'm here alive today to be #1 in the country." She looked to the sky, "Thank you, Noah. I'm sorry that I never got to meet you. But thank you for saving us."

Stasia was an absolute mess. Jesse grabbed her hand, and Yoongi grabbed the other and kissed it. She didn't know how she got this lucky, but she thanked her lucky stars every day that Jungkook was singing Eurporhia. 

"These seven men made me who I am today. Appa Koo got me painting when I was really young, and Appa Joon gave me a love of reading. Appa Hobi taught me how to dance, and Appa Yoongi taught me how to write songs. Appa Jimin and Appa Tae, or as my Mother calls them, the Things, taught me about fashion and how it's okay to be myself and not what people expect me to be. Appa Jin is the reason I can cook more than ramen, and while I'll judge you when all you can cook is ramen. They taught me so much more, but my time is almost up. So, Eomma, Appa Jin, Appa Yoongi, Appa Hobi, Appa Joon, Appa Jimin, Appa Tae, and Appa Koo, thank you for loving me. Trey, Jesse, Luna, Johnny, Nami, JJ, Eric, Sara, and Julie, thank you for being the best little brothers and sisters any girl could ever ask for. We had a crazy childhood, but I wouldn't change it for anything. Thank you Senior Class, I look forward to seeing what we all become in the future."
