Missing in the Storm

Chapter 29

Jimin's POV

I am not sure if signing the contract is the best thing for the girls. On one hand, it will give the company a lot more rights in defending them against internet attacks like this. On the other hand, it may take away their ability to just be kids. I see it a lot with celebrity kids in America and some European countries. I know that signing the contract won't be admitting they are my kids, but I do know that rumor will never go away.

I know signing the contract will make them a part of the Big Hit family and we will be able to do something together with that family. "Can you take to me to Gangnam, please?" He nods and we head off in that direction.

I have no idea how Athena is going to take the idea of signing them to a contract, but I plan to stand by her decision. I want them to have as normal of a life as possible. I like the idea of them being able to come to watch us practice or do shoots with us. Like we do with Tomorrow by Together. That idea excites me and helps me firm up what I am going to do next.

If Athena decides that she genuinely thinks it's a bad idea. It will change all our lives. The girls will have to leave Seoul. Maybe we will move them to Busan closer to my mother. I haven't thought about what I would do once I retired but I guess now is the time. Staying in Seoul without my girls is not an option. I refuse to not be a part of their life and I can't be a good part with them so far away. The driver opens my door. "Mr. Park we have arrived." I nod and take a deep breath. Grabbing up my courage I head inside the store.

The thoughts of how staying in Seoul would change the girls' life helped me firm up my decision. Not being able to go to the parks like they are used. I would hate for them to be limited to only the gardens inside of our community. I want them to be able to see the world and enjoy all that it has to offer. I know they can do it with or without a contract and I can do it with and without BTS.

Athena's POV

Sitting on the floor playing with the girls. I try to occupy myself and not think about what Jimin is doing. I can't help it my mind keeps wandering to what Jimin might be doing. He is normally a very calm person, but I know family means a lot to him. Jin was telling me that he threatened to leave the group so he could go find me and his babies. I would hate to be the reason for BTS fracturing or disbanding. I hope he doesn't do anything rash while he is upset.

For all of the good and bad with his fanbase. Most of them seem to draw a hard line at kids. When I finally got off my computer, there were a few hard Jimin stans shutting it down. It is equally fascinating and scary how ruthless they can be. They work in tandem sometimes and even politely translate it into multiple languages for those that need it. Leaving nothing but a path of devastated feelings and crushed excuses.

I got up to get lunch ready for the girls, while they continued to play with their Mega blocks. They are almost seven months old and still surprise me every day. I didn't think that they would like those blocks, but they like to stack them. They of course throw them but they mostly like stacking them with the guys. After I fed them lunch I got them laid down for a nap.

I got back on my computer and began to work again. It's almost time to get them up but not quite. I firmly believe in a schedule since it allows me to have a set amount of time to work. I know some parents don't but to each their own, this works for me. The rest of my day was kind of normal. Well, if you pass over the nerves I was suffering because Jimin was missing.

I got the girls up like normal and we went for our walk. We stayed inside the community garden though. I know they are stricter here with paparazzi than in the United States, but I am not willing to take the risk. So, I pushed them around in their stroller and they laughed. They reached out to touch the flowers and they whined to get out and play like they normally would.

I took them out and placed them on the ground. We sit on the grass and the girls crawl around and pull at the grass. After a few minutes, I get the girls back into their stroller. Time to head back inside they will play while I answer some more emails.

Jimin's POV

Instead of going straight back home to my girls, I went to the dorms. I need to talk to bounce my idea off of someone. My brothers make a good sounding board. Walking into the dorms I see Suga and Hobi relaxing in the living room. They both look up as I walk in, and I take it as a sign to talk.

"I am going to ask her to marry me." They both look at me before looking back to the Movie they are watching. "That's nice Jimin but what are you going to do about the contract?" Suga said in his usual unbothered matter. "Besides we already knew you were going to ask her sooner or later." Hobi at least kept looking at me.

"Well, I am not doing it today. I need a little help getting things together. I want this to be perfect." That got Suga to get himself out of his favorite chair. "Step one is asking for help. You are already on your way to perfection." He smiles and slaps me on my back. Hobi just nods and says, "How much time do we have?" I have no idea how long it takes to set his kind of thing up. What I do know is that I am in good hands.

Athena's POV

Jimin made it home and was all smiles. "How did it go? Is everything OK?" Not gonna lie is smile scares me. I have had so many different scenarios run through my mind. I am currently a nervous wreck. Kissing my forehead as he hugs me. "Babe let's get the girls to bed and we can talk. It's not bad I promise."

I helped him get the girls into the bathroom, then went to clean up after dinner. I could hear them laughing and splashing in the bathroom. I have no idea why it has to be so loud when he does bath time. It was supposed to be a time for them to begin to settle before bed. After I finished washing I head into the bathroom to help him get the girls into their room. I don't know how he did it but they were lotioned dressed and sleep in like ten minutes.

Quietly leaving the girls' room. I head to the living room, but Jimin continues to the kitchen to grab two glasses of wine. I don't how I feel about needing wine to have this talk. He takes a seat next to me and smiles as I sip trying to calm down.

"Our lawyers are working to have the pictures removed. They also have a detective working on figuring out who took the pictures." I nod and he continues. "They don't have a lot of control on punishing the people on behalf of the girls. So, the company wanted to know I you would be interested in signing the girls to a contract. It would allow the company to help the girls with sponsorships and make sure that no one is using their image to sell products." I never even thought about that. I simply turn down all sponsorships because I don't have time to read the contracts. I also don't want to have to not use one company because of another.

"If you are not interested, it's ok. No one is going to make you sign in." The look on his face is telling me he has already made that very clear at the company. "Do you think it is a good idea? I have never looked at an entertainment contract before so I am not familiar with what I should be looking for." If I would have thought about it before I would have looked for a company before.

"I think it is a good idea. I requested that the money goes into a trust for the girls until they go to college. Since they don't need the money it will be nice for them to have it later in life if they don't want to work." I hear him talking and it sounds good, but there is no way I am letting them know that is an option.

"Also, they are paid well. They are paid to show up and they also make a percentage on TV appearances and certain products. Not to mention the company will help you with the give-aways you do. You will be able to include things from other artists and maybe even bigger prizes. Finally, you have control over what companies they work with and what pictures are released." He looks at me, waiting for me to give him an answer.

"I'll sign. I trust you to make good decisions for the girls too." Never made an easier decision in my life.
