When you noticed the light fading in J-Hope's eyes, you swallowed hard, attempting to hold back tears.
"I'm sorry, but I refuse to let the system dictate whom I should love... or interfere with my choice. I alone will de...
You were thinking about what Ji-woo said, feeling a bit uneasy at first. But knowing that Hobi loves only you gave you the confidence not to be afraid. Hobi belongs to you, and everyone else, especially the delusional Dove, must accept it. Whatever tricks she has won't work.
Your time at the mall was terrific. You had a great time with your new family and the cheerful Ji-woo.
Ji-woo drove you home, and the atmosphere in the car was relaxing. The Jungs talked about Jiwoo and Jordan's wedding in two months, and you need to find a cute cocktail dress for it.
Back home, the men returned from their lake adventure with lots of fish. The moms prepared a stew with hairtail fish while you and Ji-woo handled the vegetable side dishes. The dads enjoyed drinks outdoors, and the younger guys decided to swim.

The atmosphere was calm, with the younger guys playing water games and enjoying the massive pool. Hobi kept coming out of the pool to be near you, tasting the food and hugging you from behind. His parents were thrilled to see him so happy and lively again.
Later, he joined his brothers-in-law in the big pool, and they all had a blast shouting and having fun.
Keitaro and Jordan were in the pool, enjoying their newfound bond. J-Hope, wearing colourful swimming shorts and no shirt, laughed loudly as he watched Keitaro playfully dunk Jordan's head underwater in retaliation.
Ji-woo smirked beside you, noticing how flustered you looked, wholly absorbed in your soulmate's joy, especially admiring his chiselled chest. Your parents also observed Hobi's happiness around you, grateful for his timely appearance in your life.
As you and Ji-woo prepared food on the patio table, she teased you with a smile. "You two look so happy, and...my lips are sealed," she teased, waggling her eyebrows.
You looked at her curiously, still keeping an eye on your soulmate. "What do you mean?"
Ji-woo's eyes sparkled mischievously as she looked into your confused gaze. "I know you and my brother fooled around last night. You spent the night together," she whispered smugly in your ear, causing your eyes to widen in shock. Oh no! You and Hobi hadn't been careful enough.
"What? How?" You blurted out, looking around frantically to ensure your family wasn't within earshot.
Ji-woo burst into giggles. "Don't worry, I won't blackmail you...yet. Hobi knows I'm a light sleeper, and you two are not... let's say, quiet lovers," she teased, chuckling at your flushed face and horrified expression.
You covered your cheeks with shame. "Oh blimey, this is so embarrassing! Please... tell me you didn't hear everything. This is terrible," you stammered out.
