HER

pt. 38 Later

Six months had passed since Jin met my mom.

As I sat on our couch in the new apartment we lived in together, I pulled up Instagram to check in with my friends.

Namjoon and Kia were still going strong. In fact, Namjoon had recently brought forth a plan to all of us involving a song to him use to propose to her this weekend.
I was already preparing to bawl my eyes out.

Jimin and Yoongi had taken their relationship even further as well, in a different way. With the success of their music with my company, Jimin was encouraged by Yoongi to use his beautiful voice to pursue a career in singing. Suga Productions was going to debut his first song in a few months.

Jungkook and Chae Young had dated off and on since they met. They were both busy and young. But they always seemed to find their way back to each other. They were currently apart for now, with Jungkook focusing on graduating college. Chae Young was insistent on waiting for him, though, busying herself with her modeling.

Melissa had taken over my previous apartment, finding work as a dance instructor for a major music label in Korea. She was picking up the language fairly quickly, mostly thanks to her handsome dancing partner and boyfriend, Hoseok. Her recent pictures were of the couples retreat to Paris we had went with all the other couples. We had met up with Taehyung there.

Which brought me to his page.

He had become more frequent with his photography, due to his travels. They were gorgeous pictures from all over the world, even in America.
His most recent pictures were of him and the girl he met in while in Spain. We had all planned to meet her during our next reunion. She was a travelling artist, very eccentric, but also very smitten with Tae. They were so happy together, it brought a smile to my face.

"What are you doing, my love?" Jin asked, joining me on the couch with his sugar gliders on his shoulders.

I took Oodeng, rubbing his head with my finger.
"Just snooping on our friends' social media." I replied, accepting his greeting kiss.
He wrapped his arms around me as I snuggled his chest.
We turned on the TV, arguing for a good half hour on what to watch.
Those arguments always turned into laughter somehow, and always ended with a kiss.

He was still rude and stubborn and got on my nerves.
That was never going to change.
But he was also always considerate, loyal and kind as well.

As we sat together, holding each other, I thought about how unsure I had been about moving here. Everything had happened so suddenly after, but I was proud of myself for taking it all in stride.
That's all someone can do when they make such big decisions.

All I know now, is I am exactly where I want to be and proud of who I was becoming.
