The Love Of Wonders - SOPE

Chapter - 39

Jin's POV:

I don't know how much longer I'll be able to hide my tears of happiness. Everyone looks so joyful today. Joonie's dimples haven't left his cheeks for even a moment, and seeing Yoongi and Yeonjun so happy feels like Appa and Eomma are right here with us. I've never mentioned it before, but my Yoongi is a mirror image of our father, and Yeonjun is just like our mother.

Everyone's arrived, and Uncle Kim looks so proud. He's introducing me to all the guests with such pride and joy. It's overwhelming.

I was lost in my thoughts when Uncle Kim picked up the microphone and stood between Joon and me. All of our family members were gathered around the stage as he lovingly began to speak:

"Mr. Kim – It feels like my son has grown up today," Uncle Kim said, placing a hand on Joonie's shoulder. "When I handed over my company to Namjoon, I wasn't nearly as nervous as I am right now! Because today, I'm not just entrusting him with a company—I'm giving my son the hand of the most precious and beautiful person in the world. You might all be wondering how someone as clumsy and hot-headed as Namjoon managed to win the heart of such a wonderful person, right?"

As Uncle Kim spoke, the crowd chuckled. "When Namjoon first introduced me to Seokjin, I was shocked, thinking, 'What on earth did Namjoon do to deserve someone this incredible?' But I couldn't be prouder, because I got the best son anyone could ask for."

Then he turned to me with a warm smile and said, "Jin, my dear, I am beyond happy that you've come into my son's life."

As soon as Uncle Kim finished those words, I could no longer hold back. My tears found their way out, flowing freely in response to the overwhelming emotion of the moment.

As soon as Uncle Kim finished his speech, Joon turned to me with a soft, loving gaze. He knelt down on one knee, gently took my hand in his, and said, "Jinni, I know I've said this to you a hundred times before, but I can't help it. No matter how many times I say it, it never feels like enough. Jinni, will you spend not just this life, but all seven lifetimes with a clumsy, hot-headed, and slightly foolish guy like me?"

I was already in tears, overwhelmed with emotion. I knelt in front of him, still crying, and as I intertwined my hand with his, I said, "Yes, my love. I want to spend this life and every life after it with you, only you."

With that, Joon slid the ring onto my finger. The room erupted in applause, but I could only focus on Joon, my heart pounding with love and joy. And before I knew it, his soft lips met mine in the sweetest kiss.

When the kiss ended and I glanced around, I noticed that everyone was emotional, tears in the eyes of all our loved ones. Little Yeonjun had fallen in little space , nestled in Kookie's lap, and I gently asked the younger boys—Yoongi, Jimin, Kook, to take Junjun and head to the resting room Joon had arranged, away from the crowd and noise.

Sumi stayed by my side, refusing to leave me alone. I couldn't help but notice that Hobi had disappeared after the ring ceremony—I hadn't seen him since. We remained on stage, accepting congratulations from one guest after another. Every gift handed to us, I passed along to Sumi, who dutifully held everything for me, making sure I wasn't overwhelmed.

As Joon and Appa Kim were introducing me to various guests, explaining each family's relationship with the Kim household, a particular family approached. Appa immediately moved away from me, rushing to greet them, embracing one of the men and saying, "Finally, you've come to meet my son-in-law."

I couldn't see the person's face because Appa was blocking my view, but the moment Appa stepped aside, and my eyes fell on the man in front of me, the ground beneath me seemed to vanish. A cold chill spread through my body, my vision blurred with tears, and I began to tremble uncontrollably. The man had arrived with a woman and a girl, and as he stepped toward me, my feet instinctively took a step back, almost as if they were retreating on their own.
