Persona

Chapter 27

We piled into the van June had borrowed from Big Hit, she'd known that Lan would finally insisted on meeting the members. June drove all of them to the building and made their way into the lobby where Cass and Jun flashed their ID's and picked up the visitor passes for the others.

"I didn't ask before, did you tell Yoongi you were here?" Cass asked her.

"Nope. If I had he would have crashed our girl bonding last night. He couldn't have stayed away. I told him I was getting in this morning and you'd pick me up and bring me here." Ash brushed her long blond locks away from her face. "He also doesn't know I'm feuding with my record company again and I'm not going back for at least a month." She chuckled evilly.

"What are they doing now?" Lan asked her sister angrily.

"Same crap. They keep putting off the release of the album, saying they aren't happy with it. Pushing back the tour another few months. All they want is for me to sign an new crappy contract with them and I'm refusing so they are trying to hold me hostage." She shrugged.

"I keep telling you to let me deal with them."

"I'm giving them a few more weeks, then you are welcome to take care of it for me. Release the Kraken." She giggled quickly joined by the others.

Lan shrugged knowing it was really close to the truth.

They came to a stop in front of one of the dance studios, Cass opened the door. It was empty as the girls filed in and scattered around the room. Cass put on some music and began her morning stretches, she was joined by the rest of the group in the next few minutes.

When she was fully warmed up Cass began to dance, choosing to freestyle. Her body moved gracefully through the motions, switching styles from ballet to hip-hop to contemporary with an ease that was breathtaking. No one could take their eyes off of her. Her movements were strong, yet graceful. Even the most difficult of steps she did she somehow managed to make look easy. She was beauty and elegance in one package and no one could argue one of the best dancers in the world.

When she finished she was scooped up in Hobi's arms. "That is my girl. She is amazing." Cass blushed burying her face in his neck.

She kissed his cheek then she swatted his shoulder. "You didn't tell me!" She accused. "How could you not tell me they were engaged?!"

His beautiful sunshine smile covered his face. "Thank heavens you know, I hate keeping secrets." He planted a kiss on her mouth. "Sorry, Jagi, but I'm more scared of her than I am of you."

"Probably a good move." She whispered something in his ear and he turned a brilliant shade of red, but he didn't stop smiling.

Hobi glanced at June as if asking permission, since he hadn't wanted to ruin her engagement announcement. He somehow widened his already wide grin when she nodded her encouragement. He stepped back taking her hand in his. "You are the love of my life, Cass, the woman I can't imagine living without. Every day with you by my side is complete. Any time we are apart I feel a piece of me missing. You are my home. My love. My life. I want to know that you are mine and I am yours forevermore. Will you marry me?"

Cass stared at him speechless, one hand pressed over her mouth as tears began to pour down her cheeks. She couldn't speak, so she simply nodded, and threw herself into his arms. When she finally managed to speak, she said. "Yes, yes, of course, yes!"

There wasn't a dry eye in the room as he slid the simple diamond ring on her finger. Then came the rounds of hugs and congratulations for the newly engaged couple.

"I also got you a chain so you can wear it around your neck for now, since it wouldn't be safe to keep it on your finger with all the craziness going on, at the moment."
