Take Me to the Sky✔️

Chapter - 61

"But they are your parents, Hyung. Their opinion is important to you." Jungkook said with his voice tight from the lump that was forming in his throat.

"Listen to me well, Jungkook. Nobody, absolutely nobody, can decide who I should or should not be with. You're right, I care about my parents' opinion, and I want them to see how wonderful you are. But if for some reason they don't like you, that doesn't change anything between us. We will continue together even if they do not agree. You are my soul mate, and although there was a time when I did not want to know anything about them, now that I have you by my side I am not going to let anything or anyone separate us. Only we have that power of decision, do you understand?"

Yoongi hadn't anticipated the lump that had formed in his throat at his own words. But everything he had said was true, and he had said it with his heart because he really felt that way.

"I'm never going to leave your side, hyung."

"Good, because I'm not parting with you either, Kookie."

Jungkook smiled happily at his answer and leaned in to kiss him. "Thanks, Hyung."

"You're welcome. Ready?"

"Ready."

Before the two of them reached the door, it was flung open, revealing Yoongi's brother, whom Jungkook had seen only in photos. Up close, the similarities were most striking, and the only difference between them, aside from age, was that Yoongi was shorter than his brother, if only by an inch.

"Mom, they're here!" His brother yelled with his head in the direction of the kitchen. "Yoongi, little brother, how are you?"

"It was fine until you started yelling, hyung. I think the whole neighborhood knows we're here now."

"See if I care." His brother replied with a shrug. "So you're Jungkook, right? Welcome to the family."

Jungkook was surprised by Yoongi's brother's words, but more surprised by the welcoming hug he wrapped him in. Jungkook returned the hug as best he could, as such a reception had not been expected, and from the corner of his eye he could see the tenderness with which Yoongi was looking at them. The moment did not last long, as another person appeared, this time Yoongi's sister-in-law, who greeted them both warmly, ushering them inside, the couple helping them with their luggage -there were only two suitcases, but they had insisted-.

Once inside, the two took off their shoes as the newly married couple went up to Yoongi's room to leave their suitcases there. At that moment, a woman of medium height and with her black hair in a bun approached them smiling.

"Yoongi-yah, come here sweetheart."

Yoongi did as his mother asked, who was waiting for him with open arms. It was a touching scene, seeing Yoongi treating her mother so lovingly, whispering a couple of words in her ear that made the woman smile. When they parted, Yoongi's mother turned to him, who had been standing to the side, staring unsure what to do. After the introductions were made between Jungkook and Yoongi's mother, the woman took his hands and gently stroked his cheek.

"Welcome to the family, Jungkook." The gratitude in the woman's eyes left Jungkook speechless, who could only smile sheepishly.

Later, when everyone was gathered in the room, catching up and integrating Jungkook into their circle, the front door opened, and moments later Holly appeared trotting through the room. When he spotted Yoongi among the seated people, he was quick to jump on top of him, wagging his tail frantically. Seconds later Yoongi's father appeared on the threshold of the door, and so another round of introductions, hugs and welcomes followed.
