The runaway bride

Chapter 29: Expect the unexpected.

Hoseok and Jungkook planned a get together dinner with the rest of the gang. Now all five were sitting at a table at a restaurant, brain storming ideas on how to make Yoongi listen to them. Even Jimin came back to the city just for that. Ivy was back on her island to take care of some things she hadn't finished, and he wanted to spend some time with the boys.

"When I talked to him, Yoongi said we were good." Hoseok said. "I'm not sure if I was forgiven though."

Jungkook patted his shoulder. "I think I'm forgiven too. We didn't talk much, I just had the feeling that he wanted to cry."

"He must be in pain." Jin sighed. "I don't know how to do this."

"I actually talked to him. I followed Jin's advice and went there to talk to his wife. I even apologized to him and he said he can't forgive me for what I did. We did." He pointed at Jimin. "I don't understand."

"Why the hell did you talk to his wife?" Hoseok asked confused.

"The question is, how am I involved?" Jimin rubbed his forehead.

"Well..." Namjoon drank the contact of his glass and a sad smile spread across his features. "Vi is his wife."

"Vi? The girl from..." Jimin's mouth hanged open. "How did that happen?"

"I have no idea." Namjoon replied.

Jimin was surprised but not shocked. The girl he knew as Vi, the girl from the night that changed his own perspective on life and relationships, was now the wife of his best friend.

"Care to explain how you lot know his wife?" Jungkook asked. He was confused. He didn't understand a thing that was going on.

Namjoon looked over Jimin, and the former shook his head. "It's not our story to tell." Jimin replied in a tone of voice that meant to drop the conversation.

"Can we like, use her to get to him?" Hoseok tried to set up a plan, at the same time, he didn't want to use anyone.

"We are not putting her in the middle." Namjoon stated and Jimin approved. "She had enough."

"Okay." Jin crossed his arms on his chest. "I'm sure I'll figure out something."

"We'll come back to this." Hoseok beamed. "How is your relationship with Melanie working out?"

Namjoon grinned. "It's perfect. I've never been happier. It's such an amazing feeling."

"Well..." Jimin started. He was looking at his glass and smirked. "I might just have an idea of how amazing it is."

"What?" Jungkook gasped. "Don't tell me you got a girlfriend."

"Yep." Jimin beamed. "It's Ivy. The girl I told you about. She finally conceded to her own feelings."

Hoseok clapped his hands together. "That's perfect. I always thought you'll end up alone."

"Thanks brother. You're faith in me is invigorating." Jimin joked.

"I'm having a baby." Jin announced out of the blue.

The entire gang stared at him, all shocked by his statement. "What?" Namjoon asked.

"I had no idea you were seeing someone." Hoseok added.

"I've been dating my secretary for the past two years." Jin explained. "I didn't want to make a big thing out of it since we were both afraid it might not work. That's why I haven't told you guys."

"Apparently Yoongi isn't the only one who is keeping secrets." Jungkook said hurt. "We got, Jimin and Namjoon, and now you. Anyone else wants to share something?" He eyed all the boys. He was more than upset. He was hurt. They were friends, they used to share everything, now, they all had some secret.

"What's the matter Kook?" Hoseok asked. He was concerned.

"It's just, we used to talk and share everything, now you're all keeping secrets." Jungkook explained.

"I'm not keeping anything from you." Hoseok quickly excused himself.

"I wish you'd understand that our secret, it's not even ours to share." Jimin went on. "What can we confirm is that we helped someone in need. That's all. The rest is not up to us."

"Okay." Jungkook was still unsure.

"I think I can use this opportunity to talk to Yoongi. I'll throw a party in the honor of my future boy." Jin jumped in the conversation before it escalated to further questions that were left unanswered.

"Good. And congrats for the baby boy." Hoseok beamed patting his shoulder.

"I'll throw the party at my hotel. We'll fly together in my plane. It will also give us a moment to talk among ourselves until we get there. Clear some air." Jimin wanted to throw the party in the honor of one of his best friends. "I can't wait to become an uncle."

"We need to drink and celebrate." Jungkook finally came to his senses. It was no point in getting upset. Yes, they kept some things away from him, but at the end of the day, their friendship was intact, apart from Yoongi's.

"Thanks guys. I'm really happy. I can't wait to be a father. I have so much to teach the little guy. Imagine his small hands and feet. Gosh, if I think too much I'll end up crying." Jin was happy.

Happy that his friends didn't hold a grudge against him for keeping the matter away from them. In all honesty, he didn't even tell his parents, or Tae. They would definitely freak out too.

"Have you thought about the wedding?" Hoseok asked.

Jin shook his head. "We don't want to get married. My girlfriend said she doesn't need a paper to know that I'm hers and she is mine."

"That's something, I guess." Namjoon mumbled under his breath. "I can't imagine me not marrying Melanie at some point in the future."

"Me either." Jimin admitted. "I worked hard to get her. I'm not taking my chances on loosing her."

"It's not like that." Jungkook jumped in. "Not everyone feels the need to take the plunge. For me it's all about the connection, not necessarily a piece of paper."

"That's what she said." Jin smiled, happy that someone could understand his point of view. "I'm not saying that we won't be doing it sometime in the future, but if never happens, that's okay too."

"Whatever you decides, we'll support you." Namjoon patted his back and the rest of the guys agreed with him.

They spent the rest of the night together, drinking and laughing, just happy that there will be a new addition to their group. A small version of Jin. They couldn't wait for the child to come. They even told Jin that his child will find out all his embarrassing stories his father had gone through. Even if they didn't know from the start, they were happy. They had Jin's back with whatever he may need.
