Hidden: Strings of Fate

CHAPTER 66

"Have you got your bags?" Min asked.

"Yes, but don't think I'm taking everything. I'm leaving something here. It's my home away from home." I replied. It was after the party. Both Jun Gi and I had gone back to the apartment to get our bags. The car had arrived to take us to the airport. We were finally on our way back to England.

"Honey, you know you're always welcome here. Just don't become a blabbering mess on my door step like you did last time or I'll never forgive you! I still get stares you know."

Min gave me a hug, wrapping her hands around me as tight as possible.

"I'll try" I whimpered as I hugged her back. It still felt unreal. I still hadn't processed the information. Jun Gi and I were getting married. It was done. It was final. I'm going to miss them. I'm going to miss VIXX. They lightened up my dark days. Which reminds me, I have to make sure I hide myself well when exiting the building. I didn't want to be ambushed by VIXX. Especially after what happened a few hours ago.

Flashback

Jun Gi, Min and I walked down the pathway to see VIXX waiting for us. They were dressed in their warmest winter clothes. Hakyeon in a pale blue pullover jumper with black jeans and trainers, Taekwoon in a white pullover jumper with black jeans and black trainers. Jaehwan had on a white fleece button upped jumper with a top underneath, black jeans and trainers. Wonshik had a blue hoodie on with black jeans and trainers. Hongbin had on a white top with a blue wooly jumper on top and black jeans and trainers. Hyuk was wearing a white roll up jumper with a black hat, black jeans and trainers. And then there was us the mismatched triplets.

To be honest, compared to us they look like they've come out of a magazine spread. Jun Gi was in a white pullover, a black scarf and blue coat coupled with a pair of black jeans with rips in the knees and trainers, Min was in peach hoodie with a grey top and black jeans with trainers. And guess what I had no choice but to wear because some people, not mentioning any names (Jun Gi and Min), decided to send my clothes off by cargo to England leaving me to wear clothes that I didn't even know I had. A loose, off the shoulder white top with a plaid mini skirt and black platforms. In the freezing cold of winter. I'm going to kill Jun Gi when I get back. I 'borrowed' a pair of leggings from Min. I say borrow because that's just nicer way of saying that I stole them, isn't it?

We went to sit down. Min and VIXX had set up a table in the middle of the pavilion with lots of fairy light to illuminate the scene. They decided to have a barbecue in honour of our engagement. Of course, I'd be treating them. I made sure that the meat was delivered earlier on. We ate, we drank lemonade, and partied. It was all a good party until the end. Min thought it'd be funny if I got up and sung karaoke with VIXX. I immediately refused but I got forced into doing it. I sung Condition of my Heart by Fly to the Sky. It was one of my favourite songs. I tried to sing it as best as I could hitting all the high notes in the correct places. While I was singing, I saw VIXX just looking at me in awe. I mean, I could sing as an amateur but I was nowhere near as good as them. I linked eyes with all of them and then had to abruptly change where I was looking because they wouldn't stop looking directly at me. It still felt awkward to feel their stares on me. My hand fell on Wonshik's watch. I looked at the time. I finished the song quickly and excused myself and Jun Gi. Min followed. We had to go check in at the airport soon. As I went halfway down the path, I tripped and fell face forwards. Just my luck to be clumsy at a time where we needed to be gone quickly. Well, that was thoroughly embarrassing. VIXX came rushing over and helped me up.

"Are you alright?"

"What happened?"

"You should watch where you're going."

"Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry." I began to limp forward. Jun Gi's eyes fell on my knees.

"Honey! You cut your knees!" I looked down to find what he was saying was true. The leggings had ripped. I had scrape marks on my knees that felt sore. He got down in front of me, back facing me. "Get on. I'm not letting you walk it home."

"Jun Gi, get up. I'm fine honestly! I can walk." He got up and put his coat on me. Then threw me over his shoulder like I was a sack of potatoes.

I kicked him on his knee. He put me down and leaned in to whisper in my ear, "any closer to my family jewels and I wouldn't have been able to give you a good time on our honeymoon." He pulled back and winked. My eyes grew wide. My cheeks began to blush. I began to feel hot. Taking advantage of my shocked state, Jun Gi threw me over his shoulder again and took me back to Min's apartment.

End of flashback

Safe to say that I'm never going to wear a mini skirt again. "Are you sure that you've got everything?" Jun Gi asked for the umpteen time.

"Yes, Jun Gi. I'm sure! Now can we go?"

"Ok. OK!" Jun Gi said as he held his hands up in surrender.

We got in the lift. My knees were still a bit sore but Jun Gi had done a good job patching them up. I admired his handy work. I wrapped my arm around his. Min pressed the button for the ground floor. I felt the lift travelling up. I was sure she pressed the lift was supposed to go down. The lift doors opened. I looked up and saw VIXX. They were smiling. Their smiles dropped slightly when their eyes fell on my arm. I noticed the change but didn't say anything. What could I say? I was embarrassed as it is. Thank goodness, Jun Gi did what he did. They walked into the lift, eyeing up my arms. I tightened it and smiled brightly. They faced the front. The lift reached the bottom floor. The doors opened.

"Got practice?" I asked, to break the ice. It felt like the breath that we had all been holding in was finally released from us all.

"Yep. We've got to practice the choreography for the new song." Hongbin replied, as he walked to the entrance of the building.

"Hwaiting! Don't let Choreographer-nim bully you." I laughed. I walked with Jun Gi to the car that was patiently waiting for us. We loaded our luggage into the boot and then I gave each of the members and Min a hug.

Jun Gi finished packing the luggage and joined me in the backseat. I looked back to wave as the car began to drive off. I was going to miss every single one of them, quirks and all. I looked at back down and took Jun Gi's hand in mine.

"You're not having second thoughts about me, are you?" Jun Gi whispered in my ear. I smiled at him delicately. I shook my head slowly. I wouldn't give up this moment of happiness for anything. Not now, not ever. I did deserve this... didn't I?
