DESTINED LOVE

Chapter 41

The unknown person walked in confidently and said, “Hi.”
Everyone went quiet, eyes fixed on her.

Taehyung stood up with a soft smile. “Hi, Ami,” he said.

Jungkook looked at him, clearly confused, while the rest glanced at each other, trying to piece things together.

Namjoon was still standing, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. The once cheerful mood shifted slightly, curiosity filling the room.

“Guys, this is Ami—my best friend,” Taehyung explained gently.

Everyone suddenly understood. The Ami. The one from Tae’s past stories. The trio—Tae, Hyungsik, and Ami.

“So she’s the leech you mentioned before,” Jin whispered to Namjoon, who chuckled softly and replied, “Yep. No idea why she’s suddenly here, though… she was living in the States.”
“Ohhh…” Jin muttered, nodding.

Ami walked into the living room and sat down, her eyes scanning everyone. “Hi, Joonie,” she said casually with a smile.

Namjoon gave a polite nod. “Hey, Ami.” Taehyung sat beside Jungkook and gently kissed his forehead. Ami’s expression shifted into one of confusion. Tae noticed it immediately.

“Ami, he’s my husband—Jungkook,” Tae said softly. “It was a quick marriage, everything happened fast, and I didn’t get a chance to contact you.”

Ami smiled, trying to hide her surprise. “It’s okay, Tae. Congratulations. You two look cute together.”Tae smiled and nodded.

Then Ami continued, “So, I’m here for some work and I’ll be staying around for two months. I just came to meet you guys before looking for a hotel.”

“You can stay here,” Jungkook offered kindly, smiling. “We’ve got a guest room—it’s no problem at all.”

He looked at Tae for approval, and Tae nodded. “Yeah, it’s totally fine. Stay here.” “Are you sure? I don't want to disturb you guys” she asked, a little nervously. Both Tae and Kook nodded again.

"We are more than okay, you can stay here" tae said and it's decided. Ami is going to be with them.

“So how’s life in the States? Any boyfriend yet?” Tae teased, nudging her lightly.

Ami rolled her eyes and laughed. “Nope. No one has passed my standards yet. I want someone handsome… like him,” she said, glancing at Hobi and giving him a wink. Hobi looked at yuna "me?" Whispering to himself.

Yuna, who had been quietly observing, looked at Ami, then at Hobi, her expression unreadable. Hobi, on the other hand, looked like he’d just been dropped in hot water—nervous and completely thrown off.

“So much fan-following, Hobi-aa,” Jimin whispered, smirking as he nudged him. Hobi glared at him playfully. “Yah, Park Jimin. Don’t start.”

Namjoon,  who is observing silently from the side, kept his thoughts to himself. Something about Ami’s sudden visit didn’t sit right with him—but he pushed it aside for now.

After some time, Ami stood up and said, “I’ll head out now. My luggage is still at my friend’s place. I’ll bring it and come back tomorrow.”

Everyone nodded, and shortly after, the Jeon family also left the house.

As the door closed behind them, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief. Jimin immediately seized the moment.

“So, Hobi,” he said with a teasing grin, “who’s gonna win your heart first?”
