It was always you (BTS JIMIN FF)

Chapter 26: The yacht

"Are you sure you want to go alone?" JK asked Jimin yet again, as he helped his older member gather some belongings before he was about to head to the rooftop of Hybe's building.

After an exhausting few days in the US filming their MV for their song ON, the members were all gathered together in the Hybe building recreational area keeping Jimin company before flying over to visit Sophie and her father.

"I'm so nervous." Tae complained while pacing up and down the common area.

"Tae, you're making everyone nervous. Sit your butt down." Jin ordered. Tae collapsed onto the nearby couch with a deep sigh.

"So dramatic." Jin commented, rolling his eyes.

"At least I care!" Tae objected with a pout.

"Alright, no fighting! " Namjoon intersected, shaking his head at the need to scold the youngest and oldest who were behaving like two little kids. "We are here to support Jimin, and not add to his stress."

"It's ok, RM."   Jimin said with a slight smile as he watched both men hold their eyes on the floor. "Seeing them act normal like this helps me to get my mind off of things."

"How many days you're going for again?" Hobi interrupted, wanting to plan ahead and make sure he is available the moment Jimin returns, just in case he needs to talk.

" Well, I initially thought it would be a few hours." Jimin explained. " But then when I talked to Sophie yesterday, she said there are still other people there that need to catch up on some business matters with her father, so she suggested I come for 3 days. The yacht is apparently huge, the size of a resort hotel, and we can spend some time together beforehand while we wait for an opportunity to meet with her father."

"Hmm." Yoongi hummed suspiciously.

"I know, Yoongi, I hear you." Jimin nodded, as if he could hear what Yoongi was thinking." It makes me wonder if Sophie's father does not want to meet me, or at the very least, if he is making it difficult for me to get close to him, "Jimin seriously reflected.  "I suspect he may be wanting to take this opportunity to demonstrate his strong disapproval of me. But don't worry, after what we all talked about back in in the US, I feel I am ready for it. I won't give up on Sophie, and I intend to send a clear message about this to her father while I am there."

"Good." Yoongi simply concluded, and he turned on his heel to plop down on a nearby couch and closing his eyes. He felt satisfied enough with the reassurance Jimin just gave, and could now finally rest.

"Excuse me, Mr. Park," a young boy interrupted. "The helicopter has arrived."

"It's time," Jimin said, quickly getting his small bag of belongings and heading for the stairs leading to the rooftop.  The other members followed Jimin in a single file, wanting to keep him company and provide encouragement and support until the very last moment. 

When they arrived at the rooftop, the loud blare of wind and noise from the helicopter made it impossible to talk, and so RM led the members into a group circle and gathering of hands. Breaking away from the encouraging team cheer, Jimin smiled at his members and waved goodbye and ran to jump into the helicopter whose pilot was clearly in a rush to get going.

Although the flight took no more than 15 minutes, Jimin was so lost in thought that he didn't realize when the helicopter began to descend into landing. He was finally pulled out of his thoughts when he felt a sudden jerk of the helicopter that signified they have touched ground. Jimin opened his eyes wider in a slight panic but was immediately soothed when his eyes fell on Sophie's figure waiting for him in the nearby distance.
