Serendipity

Chapter 12 - Part 2

Jimin and I lead the convoy back to the hotel, the rental behind us and our parents bringing up the rear. Pulling into the underground parking lot, we all get out, grabbing luggage. Jimin hands me the key card to our room, giving me a quick kiss and a pat on the *ss. I take the women and children up to our room while all the men go with him to the lobby to check in and get room keys. They'll take the luggage to the rooms and meet us in the large conference room, which I didn't realize is across from the conference room where the meetings have been.

Stopping at our room, we drop off our purses and bags while I check the time on my phone to see it's about six-ten...that means food should be ready. And thank goodness, because I'm starving!

Everyone except Mi-Jeong is quiet, staring around at the hotel furnishings. I lead them out of the room and turn the corner to walk to the conference room when a door closes behind me.

"Little sister!" I hear being called. I stop and turn, my face splitting in a huge grin.

"Hobi oppa!" I call as he jogs up to me, his smile infectious. He wraps me up in a hug, lifting me up and swinging me around.

"It's happening!! Are you excited??" he sings out as he puts me down, holding on to my hands.

I nod vigorously, my own smile a mile wide. I lean forward and whisper in his ear, "But I'm a little bit nervous..."

He leans back, a surprised look on his face. "Why? Why, why, why?"

"Because it's happening so quickly...but I'm extremely happy and excited and scared and happy..."

He laughs at me when I say that. Then he notices the women behind me and lets go of my hands. He steps next to me and bows to them.

"I don't mean to be rude, but once everyone is in the conference room, I'll introduce you. Okay?" I ask, seeing them nod. Hobi and I continue to the room at the end of the hall, with my family following. Going through the door, I'm surprised to see how much larger this room is compared to the one across the hallway. Two long tables are set up side-by-side with seating around it, almost like a small banquet hall. I see Namjoon and Yoongi setting up the food on the tables, and Hobi makes a beeline for them.

When Namjoon and Yoongi hear all of us come in they turn, and I see grins split their faces. Dropping the food containers on the table, they both hurry over to me, wrapping me up in their arms.

"Where's Jimin? Didn't he come with you?" Namjoon asks, looking back at the door. I chuckle.

"No, Namjoon oppa, he and his father are helping my father and brothers check in and get the luggage to their rooms. Once that's done, they'll all be here." I shake my head. "Where's everyone else? I thought for sure Jungkook would be in here salivating over the food by now."

"Hey, I resemble that remark!" I hear him say as he and Taehyung walk through the door with a scowl on his face and comes straight for me. Lifting me up over his shoulder like a sack of rice, he spins me around as I yelp and hit him on the back, laughing.

"Hey, put my bride down!!" I hear Jimin call out with a laugh in his voice. Jungkook does as he's told, only to run at Jimin, lifting him up over his shoulder in the same way he did to me.

"Hey, put my groom down!" I call in the same fashion, the members and I laughing. I look around at everyone in the room and see Mi-Jeong and Hyun-soo shaking their heads with smiles on their faces. My family, on the other hand, have a mix of surprised and disbelieving looks on their faces.

Jungkook, with Taehyung following and smacking Jimin on the *ss, brings him over to me and sets him down, grinning widely. Bowing with a flourish he says, "There you go, big sister...your wish is my command!"
