The Rules: Book Five

Chapter 23

While Dr Lee was getting settled and talking to Ami and Pak, Wendy landed in Korea. The flight had been long, giving her lots of undivided time to think about everything that had happened over the last few days. As the plane touched down, her phone rang.

"Heeey, perfect timing. I just landed."

"Heeey Love. I know. I was tracking you. How was your flight?" Riggs was happy to have her closer and out of New York.

"It was quiet, which was nice. What time is it? My body is so messed up from flying around the world and back."

"It's about 8 a.m. where you are. You need to drink a lot of water, eat good food today, and rest."

"You think I've been traveling with you long enough that it wouldn't affect me so much." she sighed.

"Our trips aren't long like what you've put in over the past few days, darling. I'm glad you're going to have some downtime to recover. As much as I want you here with me, taking a break and not being drug around the world for a moment will be really good for you. I can't wait to see you though."

"I miss you," she said softly.

"I miss you too. It won't be long. Let me get Harry sorted out, and I'll be there before you know it. Call me tonight before you go to bed. Can you do that, Love?"

"I will. Promise. Tell Harry hi for me. Oh, the plane just parked...I think I'm finally here." She looked out and saw a car pulling up outside the plane.

"Give the guys my best. Love you."

"I love you too. Bye." She hung up as the engines shut down. Wendy stood up to collect her bags, then heard the door open as Jae popped into the cabin.

"HI! You're here!!" She bounced over to her and squeezed her tightly in a hug.

"Hello!" Wendy laughed as the two girls embraced. "I can honestly say I'm so happy to be here finally."

"You've had a shit show of a week."

"You have no idea." Wendy sighed.

"Come on. Let's get you out of here." Just then, Byun joined them. "Wendy, this is Byun. He's making sure we get to where we are going." Jae grinned as she took Wendy's big suitcase from her.

"Hello. Welcome to Korea." Byun gave her a little bow and smiled.

"Hello." She waved back as he now took the big bag from Jae. "Is this all the luggage?"

"Um, yeah. I think that's it." She looked around one more time to make sure she had everything.

"Ok. Come on. The guys are waiting for us." Jae took her hand, and they walked out to the awaiting car. After being cooped up for fourteen hours, the fresh air smelled so good.

The girls settled into the back seats while Byun put the bag in the trunk. "Um, this car is nice." Wendy was taking in the luxury of their ride.

"It's Ami's car," Jae smirked. "Su wanted Byun to drive it. Wait until he takes off. It's so smooth, you hardly feel like you're moving."

"Fuck, this is her car?"

"Yeah. Look! It has seat warmers!" Jae pushed some buttons to turn them on.

"So, she's off with Yoongi right now, then?"

Jae leaned over to her, "Yup. Let's talk about all that when we get back to the house. Byun knows Ami is Suki, but not everything-everything...does that make sense?"

Wendy laughed, "Yes and no, but got it."

Byun hopped back in and started them on the trek to the house as the girls chatted in the back seat.
