Dream Come True | Joshua Hong FF

Part 11

Here, at the company, all the members were waiting for Joshua, Jeonghan and Mingyu as they did their workout for practicing for their next leg of the tour...

Hoshi, Seungkwan and Dk were enjoying Fire by Hip-hop Unit..

Scoups and Woozi were talking about their next comeback..

The others were watching BSS and shaking their head....

Just then,the gate to the practice room opened and all looked at the gate to see the members they were waiting for...

Vernon was the first to break the silence and asked,"Shua hyung, how come you slept so well to the point of not hearing the alarm?"

Hao shook his head, walked to the 2 of them, kept his hand around Shua's neck and said in a teasing tone,"I don't think he slept last night, after all he went on a date with his future wife. I bet 100k KRW, he didn't sleep last night. And therefore woke up late."

Mingyu and Jeonghan smirked and went on to do their daily workout, knowing that now Joshua will have to answer the questions.

Seungkwan dramatically waved his phone in the air. "For anyone who's been living under a rock, this is the picture we're talking about," he declared, holding it up for the group.

The image showed Joshua and Divya sitting across from each other at a beautifully set restaurant table. Their hands were raised, clinking wine glasses together in celebration, but their faces were cleverly out of frame, leaving fans curious about the identity of the woman next to Joshua. The shot perfectly captured the intimate moment without revealing too much.

Hoshi immediately leaned in closer, his eyes widening. "Ohhh, this is the one where you didn't show her face! No wonder the fans are freaking out."

Mingyu chuckled as he scrolled through the comments. "Hyung, they're all calling her the 'LUCKY GIRL.' Everyone's going crazy trying to figure out who she is."

Wonwoo, who had been quietly observing, finally chimed in. "Honestly, this just adds to the intrigue. You've created a whole narrative for the fans to obsess over."

"Exactly!" Dino added with a laugh. "They're probably coming up with fan theories as we speak. 'Who is Joshua's mystery girl?' But we all know her, right?"

Jun grinned, leaning back against the wall. "Yeah, we've all met Divya. You could at least give them a hint."

Jeonghan raised an eyebrow. "Ah, why are you trying to keep things mysterious, huh?"

Joshua sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "I wasn't trying to be mysterious! We just took a quick photo, and that's how it turned out."

"That's not how the Carats see it," Vernon grinned. "They're practically launching a full investigation."

DK joined in with mock seriousness. "You know, hyung, with the way you posted this, you should've at least given us a heads-up. Now we're all suspects!"

The members burst into laughter, while Joshua could only shake his head. "You guys are impossible. I didn't think it would blow up like this."

The8, still scrolling through the comments, added with a smirk, "Well, it's too late now. You've set the standard for mystery dates. Good luck topping this."

Woozi chuckled, "You kind of set yourself up for it. What did you expect when you posted something like that?"

"Honestly," Joshua groaned, "next time, I'm just posting my food."

S.Coups clapped him on the shoulder, laughing. "Good luck with that. They'll just zoom in on the reflection in your spoon."

S.Coups then remembered something and turned to Joshua, a serious expression crossing his face. "Hey, I talked with the manager earlier. He said he'd let you know when you can talk to the CEO about this sudden arranged marriage setup."

Joshua raised an eyebrow, feeling the weight of the conversation. "Really? I thought we were just letting it all unfold naturally."

"Yeah, but your parents wanted to make sure everything was clear," S.Coups replied, crossing his arms. "They asked me to talk to the manager about it since it's a public arrangement now."

"Got it," Joshua said, taking a deep breath. "But honestly, Divya is okay with it. We talked about everything, and she understands the situation."

Mingyu nodded in agreement. "That's good to hear. The last thing you want is for her to feel overwhelmed."

"Exactly," Jeonghan chimed in, leaning against the wall. "Just make sure to keep Divya in the loop. Communication is key."

"Right," Joshua said, feeling a wave of relief. "I just want to make sure she feels comfortable with everything."

Hao patted him on the back. "You're not in this alone, Shua hyung. We're all here to support you both."

Vernon smirked. "Well, if the fans are already calling her the 'LUCKY GIRL,' it sounds like she's already won over a lot of hearts."

"True," The8 added with a playful grin. "And you might just be the one who needs to worry about living up to the title of 'LUCKY GUY.'"

As laughter filled the practice room once again, Joshua felt a mix of excitement and nerves about what lay ahead. With his friends by his side and Divya supportive of the arrangement, maybe this unexpected journey wouldn't be so daunting after all.

In another building, everyone heard the lift opening, sat straight in their seats, all of them wished Divya Good morning when she passed by them.

As Divya walked down the hall, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor, the whispers of her colleagues buzzed behind her. Heads turned as she passed, not because of her position or her usual air of authority, but because of the mysterious post she had shared the night before.

"Good morning, ma'am," another voice chimed, this time from her assistant, Shambhavi, who hurried to keep up with Divya's quick pace.

"Good morning, Shambhavi," Divya responded, her expression calm yet focused. She couldn't help but notice the slight grin on Shambhavi's face, one she knew all too well.

"Ma'am, um... everyone's talking about that picture you posted. You know, the one with the wine glasses?" Shambhavi tone was casual, but her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Divya stopped walking, turning slightly to face her assistant. "And what exactly are they saying?"

"Well, everyone's wondering who the guy is, of course! Some are even betting that he's a businessman or maybe an ambassador from one of the countries you work with. But... Don't worry they don't who's it.." Shambhavi leaned in, a playful smirk forming on her lips.

Divya chuckled, shaking her head. "I think I'll let them keep guessing."

"You're no fun, ma'am," Shambhavi teased, though she quickly shifted her focus back to work. "By the way, there's a meeting in 10 minutes with the trade delegation from Japan. Should I bring the files to your office?"

As she entered her office and closed the door behind her, Divya allowed herself a brief moment of reflection. The fact that her colleagues were clueless about the identity of the man in the picture amused her, but it also brought a sense of calm. For now, her relationship with Joshua was known by their families, including the members and Shambhavi, and she liked it that way.
