Can I help you?

Chapter 77

The next morning, Jhope wakes up and the first thing he does is feel the bed. Sarah is gone again. He is panicking. "No, not again..." He moans and is grabbing his boxer to dress himself to find her, but suddenly he hears the shower. He drops the boxer and walks carefully to the bathroom. He pushes the door open and under the shower he finds Sarah. He is almost crying. He gets in the shower with her. Sarah suddenly feels his dry body against her back, and his hands are slipping over her belly and boobs. She can hear Jhope whisper right next to her ear. "Did you wash there already?" and then nozzles her ear and softly nibbles it. Sarah softly moans. She can feel that he is ready for another round and is so turned on by it that they just go for it.

After that they get dressed and just in time, because they can hear a knocking on the door. Jhope opens the door and V bursts in with Mary. Mary immediately goes in for a hug. "SARAH! WE WERE SO WORRIED I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Mary is semi crying. V smiles at this reunion and looks at Jhope, who is looking happier than ever. "Mary, I will need your help to do something." "ANYTHING" "So let's just first get a breakfast. I don't know about you guys but I'm starving. Mary made me so hungry from the sports we did all night long." V smiles his naughty smile. Jhope smiles too. "Same." Mary is not leaving Sarah's side. The guys just follow. In the resto, Jhope is messaging.

Sunshine: Mission accomplished *PYONG* thihi *Victory smiley*

Rapmonsta: Good, so you'll be back soon?

Minimi: AWESOME

Kookie: So are you guys finally a couple?

WWH: .... congratz....

Kookie: Wow Jin hyung, why such a meek response?

Rapmonsta: .... Now you are the oblivious one, Kooks...

AgustD: is Sarah okay?

BbiBear: She is fine. Mary is sticking to her.

Sunshine: She needs to still round up things here, but then she is coming with me back.

Sunshine: and @Kookie yes. yes we are.

Minimi: Have a safe flight hobi hyung.

Mary and Sarah are out doing the business. It is hard but since Sarah is actually not legally working there, and under the pretence of working for the management. She did barely do the hall. So she could easily somehow neck the company from all the numbers and fake contracts they have. They let her go. Mary and Sarah are walking on the streets in Tokyo. "I'm going to miss it." "You always loved living here, right?" Sarah nods. "But I also want to be happy with Hobi. I really love him so much." Mary puts her arm in Sarah's. "I know. You both will be so happy together." "You think? I'm not so sure..." "Why not? Sex is good, he is so much in love with you, he cares for you and he is your bias. What could possibly be wrong?" "The contract thing..." "Hmmmm the contract thing indeed. But let's trust Namjoon for that. He is on it." "You're right." Sarah says and looks across the street, face still in doubt.

They are going to stay a few more days in Tokyo, date and travel. Mary and V are having a blast at museums. Sarah and Jhope are on the monorail towards Toneri. "So you lived here for a year?" He asks in marvel. Sarah nods. "I feel so much at home here. My heart has been here all this time... This is my home." Sarah looks genuinely happy out of the window at the scenery. Jhope sees her face glow up. They get off at Toneri park and Sarah had made a pic-nic for them. She also brought a tent and some mosquito cream. They have dinner in the park, and watched the sunset together. The fall is really warm in Tokyo, so they enjoyed the sunset in comfort. Sarah is sitting between Jhope's legs and leaning with her back against his chest. "Hobiya.." "Hhhhmm" "Why do you love me?" Jhope looks down onto her and smiles while he places a kiss on her head. "Why wouldn't I? You are so perfect to me. Somehow I can't shake you off. I don't know what it is about you, but you excite me, shake up my heart, interest me, resume me, designate me. If ARMY is my universe, you are my Mercury. Closest planet to me. Also very hot planet..." He jokes around. She smiles. "My sun." She cups his face and gives a kiss from where she can reach, so his jawbone. He turns his head to hers and reaches her lips. He pecks her too.

When the night falls, they put up the tent and lay under it, they rub their faces and just have their heads pop out of the tent. They are looking at the starry sky. Jhope softly sings mikrokosmos. "Sarah" "yes hobi?" "Would you like to live here, in Japan?" "It is my dream to live here. But my first priority is he love of my life. I want to start a family soon." She turns her head to Jhope and lays on her side, looking at his face. He turns to her too, laying on his side. "Are you serious about that? Is that what you want the most?" Sarah smiles and nods. "I'm older than you, I have found myself wanting that." "I want to give you everything you desire. I want to make you happy. My love." "But your career... It's too soon for you." Sarah closes her eyes and bites her lip Maybe I should have picked Ji Hoon after all. He grabs Sarah's chin and forces her to look at him. "Don't regret choosing me. Please. I'm sure we can find a way." Sarah nods and he gets up on his arm and leans in to kiss her. Deeply. A shooting star flies right above them.

The next day they meet with Mary and V because it's been already 5 days. Their ticket back is today. So they get ready to fly. They leave for the airport. Sarah looks back at Narita airport. When the plane goes up she looks out of the window and holds her hand on it. She can see the streetlights forming little dots below them. She sighs. "nippon, matane" Mary is laying together with V in his first class seat, sleeping. Jhope is on his laptop working on songs. "Don't you have free time now?" "Hmmmm, we do, but most of that time we are working on our own projects." Sarah nods after dryly saying 'oh'. She is bored. She doesn't want to disturb him. Sarah watches a movie.

When they arrive in the house, Everyone goes in for a hug. Sarah is getting cuddled to death by almost everyone. Jin looks at her with happy and yet sad eyes. He hugs her. "Congratulations on being true to your heart." Sarah hugs Jin close too, enjoying his hug. "Thanks. I'm sure you'll find it soon too." Jin looks at the wall behind Sarah I don't count on it... She releases him. She goes to hug others. Jin is standing a bit awkwardly. The others hug Jhope too and congratulate him. Jin awkwardly puts out his hand. "Congratz bro." Jhope can feel Jin is having a hard time. "Thanks. I'll take good care of her, hyung." and he pulls Jin in for a manly hug too. RM smiles. "I think I found a way." They all sit around the table, and are all ears. "So the contract states that as long as they are employees for us, they are not allowed to do that, right?" They all nod. "So let's say... like Sarah... They are not employees anymore?" They all look at him. "That....is....so simple?" "Is that all it takes?" Mary did not even sign a contract even. She is freelance. She didn't even fall under the rule. V smiles. "But I want to help you guys." "Me too." Doenja is doubting. "Finally I feel accomplished and I climbed a hard way up to where I am now... I kinda don't want to ruin that." She looks at Suga who seems to understand her ambition. "But that is the only way..." RM says. Emma looks at her hands too. I mean, it would be great to be with RM, but I love my career too... "I need time to think..." RM is surprised why they are so hesitant. Why wouldn't they just jump to the occasion?
