Make It With You

*Monique*

We arrived in London and checked in at The Savoy hotel. A lot of surprises happened these past few days. My parents, the kids, and my brother are also staying in the same hotel with us. Though I have not seen them, especially my idiot brother.

Jennie and Lisa are staying together in one room. The same goes for Mina and Sana. Four of them went to their rooms, while Jisoo, Rosé and myself are still in the reception.

Chaeng, you can join us in the room or you and Jisoo will share a room. I commented.

Rosé looking anxious and uneasy, I am ok. You and Jisoo go together. Rosé said.

You look sick Chaeng, are you ok? Jisoo asked worriedly.

Don't worry unnie, I am ok. You two go ahead. Rosé pushed us.

Ok, meet you in 2 hours in our room. I will inform Jennie and Lisa as well. I told Rosé and she nod.

She is acting strange since we were in Japan. I whispered to Jisoo.

She's been strange since she have a boyfriend. Jisoo giggled.

After two hours

Has everyone rested well? I asked all of them and they all nodded. What's your plan? I asked again.

We-, Lisa started but I interrupted her, forget it, Lisa. In two hours Jisoo and Jennie will do a photoshoot for Dior and Chanel. I said looking at my watch.

Unnie, I am hungry. Rosé complain.

I have already ordered our lunch, they will serve the food here in my room. I replied shaking my head. In less than five minutes the food arrived and Rosé happily savored it.

By six pm, you guys will attend London Fashion Week. Rosé will represent the YSL, Lisa for Celine, Jisoo for Dior, and Jennie for Chanel. I explained.

Are you coming for the fashion week? Jisoo asked.

I don't know. I will have dinner with my parents and the kids together with my brother. I quickly replied.

Rosé started choking and coughing. Hey Chaeng, eat slowly. Jisoo said shaking her head. Sorry guy, I can't join you during dinner. I said looking at Rosé giving her a questioning look but she just smile.

How about you? Lisa asked.

What about me? I looked at her.

What are you going to do? Lisa questioned me.

The usual, work and meeting. After that, I will join Mina and Sana together with the kids roaming around. I smiled at them. In the meantime rest in your free time and see you all later tonight. I winked at them.

I went to my parent's room with Mina and Sana around 9 pm. I was beyond shocked seeing Rosé inside my parent's room.

Chaeng, what are you doing here? And where are the others? I asked her curiously.

They are on their way here. She quickly replied.

Why? How long have you been here? I asked her.

We finished an hour ago unnie. She replied.

What are you doing here? I asked again.

We are all having dinner together. My mom answered. Hi Honey, mom and dad greet me and kiss me. I also greeted them and kissed them. While the rest of the girls showed up in my parent's room.

Sis!!! Joseph runs towards me and hugged me tightly.

Oh my, you are here. We have a lot of catching up to do. I replied still hugging him.

Everyone, this is my idiot brother Joseph. Joseph these are everyone. I said and they laughed. Joseph and I are like twins. I added.

Ok ok, let's have dinner. Joseph said.

Oh no, no, no. You guys go ahead. Joseph and I need to talk. I said firmly.

Can't it wait? Rosé stutter.

No, it cannot. You guys go, will be there before the dinner finish. I stated.

While everyone is arguing about the dinner, my parents are watching us in amusement.

Guys, stop! Joseph half yells getting everyone's attention. Joseph was standing beside Rosé who is looking nervous and red as a tomato at the same time. When did he get there? I asked myself.

Joseph takes Rosé's hand and entwined it with his. I raised my eyebrows questioningly as the rest of the girls did the same thing while my parents are trying to hide their smiles. Joseph's grip was steady as he meet everyone's intense gaze.

The reason I wanted to talk to you my dear sister was to tell you personally that Rosé and I are dating. Rosé is my girlfriend. He said looking dearly at Rosé.

What???? Everyone reacts in unison.

He is your mystery boyfriend? Lisa asked looking at Rosé.

Yes, Lisa, he is. Rosé replied shyly.

He is the one keeping you busy on your phone the whole time? Jennie added.

Yes, Jennie unnie.

Wait, how did it happen? Jisoo asked.

It's a long story Jisoo unnie, will tell you all next time. She quickly replied.

Everyone look at me especially my brother and Rosé waiting for my reaction.

Jisoo fake cough, interrupting my thoughts. Regaining my composure... Congrats? I said awkwardly still in mental shock.

Well? Rosé and my brother asked looking at me.

I can't say I expected this. Joe and Chaeng you're learning more about secrecy and privacy than I knew. They all chuckle. But the most important thing is, if you're both happy, I am happy and support you together. Welcome to the family Chaeng. I hug Rosé and I whispered, you owe me a lot of stories. She giggled then I hug my brother.

In the presence of my family and friends Joseph and Rosé share a long tender kiss.

Everyone claps and congratulates them. Zoe is the happiest because her favorite Rosé is with her favorite uncle.

So, can we go to the dinner now? My dad asked as we all nod at him and laughed.

Dinner went smoothly, celebrating Rosé and my brother being together. I am happy for them.

Lisa and Jennie are getting married. Rosé and my brother surprised us, committed seriously to each other... Are there any surprises you want to tell me? I said teasingly and they all laughed.

Monique unnie, when will you propose to Jisoo unnie? Zoe suddenly asked then Joseph and Rosé gave high fives to Zoe.

I choked on my food, Jisoo immediately give me a glass of water and caressed my back.

Nice Zoe. Well, answer your niece. Mina teased.

They all looked at me smiling waiting for me to answer.

Seriously? I looked back at them they just shrugged still waiting for my answer.

We will get there, but for now, let's enjoy dinner. Tonight is for Chaeng and Joseph. Jisoo said saving me from the situation.

Cheers to that. My parents said raising their glasses. Everyone followed their actions. Cheers!! Everyone said.

Thank you for saving me. I whispered to Jisoo.

But when are you planning to propose? Jisoo asked seriously.

I.. I-, joke! She continued giving me the peace sign.

We will get there. I mutter to myself looking at Jisoo.
