The Love Of Wonders - SOPE

Chapter - 36

Yoongi - Sumi, what's in these two boxes?

Sumi - It's a surprise, Hyung! Come on, let's open them!

Jin - If you two sit down now, you won't get up again. Sumi, you and Jack should go eat breakfast first, then you can sit down with all this.

Sumi - No, Hyung, pleaseeeeee! I really want to open it now! I got something for everyone from India. Pleaseeeeee!

Jin - But Sumi, you and Jack also need to--

Jack interrupted Jin, saying, Uhmm, Hyung, I'll bring breakfast here. I'll eat too and feed this monkey as well. You all sit down—she's a little too excited.

Everyone playfully chanted, Owwwooooooo! in unison, making Jack and Sumi blush with embarrassment.

Yoongi quickly sat down next to Sumi while the rest of the group settled on the sofa. Namjin sat together, TaeJiKook grouped up, and Yeoni comfortably placed his feet on Hobi's lap.

Sumi and Yoongi began unpacking the boxes. When they opened them, Sumi pulled out another box, which contained brand new clothes, each labeled with someone's name. Sumi checked each name and handed out a package to everyone—first Jin, then Namjoon, and so on—until everyone had a package except Hobi. Hobi watched with a faint smile, feeling a bit down, as he thought he wasn't close enough to Sumi for her to bring something for him or give him the same level of importance. Though he tried not to let it bother him, a sense of disappointment lingered because, over the past few days, he had started to feel a genuine friendship with Sumi.

Then, to Hobi's surprise, Sumi hesitantly handed him a package. Shocked, Hobi asked, Is this for me?

Sumi - Forgive me, Mr. Jung. This might not match your status, but you're a part of this family, and I'll always remember that. To me, every member of this family is just as important as Yoongi Hyung. I hope you'll like it, even just a little. Hobi, still in shock, smiled warmly and took the package from her hands.

Sumi then asked everyone to open their packages. They were all stunned by the clothes inside. Meanwhile, Jack sat down beside Sumi with a plate of breakfast, feeding her each bite.

After swallowing her last bite, Sumi asked, Do you like them? Yoongi Hyung, you were asking how I design clothes, right? Well, these are my designs. The sketches you see are all mine. These clothes are only available in India, so I had to get them stitched there. Everyone was amazed. Even Hobi couldn't hold back and said, What are you doing in Human Resources? You should be in the fashion industry.

Sumi smiled and replied, Maybe in my next life, I will be. Jin, who understood how difficult it can be to chase your dreams, especially when you're the eldest child in the family, then said in a high-pitched voice, Alright, everyone, try them on quickly!

Sumi interrupted, Not just try, Hyung—everyone needs to get ready! Yoongi Hyung made me a promise... (turning to Yoongi) Hyung, you remember, right?

Yoongi, smiling, replied, Are you going to celebrate in these clothes? Go get ready, and we'll all get dressed too. Sumi, thrilled, grabbed the open box and rushed off.

As soon as Sumi left, Yoongi suddenly panicked, exclaiming, Eommaaaaaaa, Appaaaaaaa, what should I do? I didn't get a gift! (A/U - If I were to say that Namjoon was shocked to hear Yoongi call him "Appa," it would be an understatement. His heart was racing, and his grip on Jin's hands tightened. Tears welled up in Joon's eyes, but he held them back. Today, Joon had the best reason to shed tears of joy. Jin and Hobi smiled as they watched Joon's adorable reaction.) He rushed to Namjin, grabbing their hands and placing them on his forehead, pretending to cry. Jimin, laughing, said, Oyyy, Big Cat, what's the use of this drama now? You fucked up, dude. Look how excited Noona is—she even brought clothes for us all, and you forgot her important day! You're hopeless Yoonglesss.
