Chapter 68

It's 4 weeks after being let out of hospital, Lori is in Korea, my flat is on the market and empty, my belongings have been shipped and I no longer work for Nickels Notes. When I was released from the hospital I went in to see the boss and he accepted the resignation from me with no contest. He thanked me for all my hard work, congratulated me on my engagement news and said that if the boys ever wanted to record in London again they would be welcome back with open arms. He was excited about the imminent release of the album and hoped it might step his little studio up a peg or 2. I bumped into Nancy and she hugged me, told me she was glad I was ok and that she was happy that I had found something special, she wished me every luck for the future. It was kind of touching.

I had completed my rehab, all my muscles back in full working order and have been given the all clear to travel so here I am at the airport waiting to board my flight. Namjoon stayed with me for 2 days before he had to go back for the first concert. We told my parents together our news and they were thrilled. Both of them are looking forward to a trip to Korea soon for the wedding. They flew back to Spain just after Namjoon left, once they were happy that I would be ok alone.

Jimin had arranged for Louis to be flown over by a specialist company. They took care of everything for me. He had left before me, the reason being he had more flights over a few days rather than the long one I was to take. He would be in Korea now and Lori would be looking after him and settling him in. As the boys all live together in a huge house, Lori and I would be living with them all too. I was really excited to get there and get accustomed to everything. The boys were due for another break after completing the concerts that were scheduled. I was arriving at a good time.

My flight was called to board, so I made my way to the gate. Namjoon had arranged for me to travel first class so I was one of the first to board. My seat was comfortable and I was well looked after on the long flight. I managed to get a little sleep but was too excited about seeing Namjoon and Lori, and to meet the rest of the boys. I was less excited about finally meeting Namjoon's family though. For that I was really nervous. Thankfully I had a few days to settle before we met up for introductions.

When the flight arrived at incheon we were quick to disembark and moved through security quickly. I collected my luggage, the last of my things from home and moved through to arrivals. When I stepped out of the double doors, there was my fiancé. I will definitely not tire of calling him that. He is flanked by bodyguards, I can see Ji-Ho and Min-Yun both smiling at me. There are lots of army behind him. They have banners saying welcome to Korea Aimee and are chanting something in Korean but I am not sure what.  He has changed his hair, and it's a pale baby pink now, he looks gorgeous! His smile lights up the room and i've missed those dimples! I leave my luggage and run to him. I jump into his arms and wrap my legs around his waist kissing him with all my energy. Photographers click away getting 'that shot' and the fans cheer in a united roar. Ever the helpful one Ji-Ho has grabbed my case and the others usher us through the crowd out to a waiting car.

"You're really here" he says, in the cutest excited voice with a little disbelief. "I am. I'm home. Wherever you are is home from now on". I launch my arms around him again and kiss him hard. Feeling his body after all this time turns me on, but obviously I will wait until we are at the house and alone before I do anything about that.

We have spoken as much as possible in the last 4 weeks, not as much as I would have liked because of their schedule, but now he has 4 weeks off so we can properly get reacquainted and he can show me around his town. We also need to start talking about the wedding. I want to be married as soon as we can, but because of their forth coming schedule and Lori to have the baby, it looks like it might be 9 months before we can. I suppose that gives me a good long while to plan it and make it perfect.

The journey in the car goes really quickly and we drive into a gated community filled with enormous houses. The road winds to the left and we drive on to the driveway. It's lined with huge trees, the garden looks spectacular. It's landscaped with flower beds at different levels, flowers that are bright intermixed with gorgeous green shrubs. Over on the left is a summer house with seating area and on the right is a water feature. The driveway ends in a circle, a copy of the Rodin statue the thinker in pride of place in the centre. That's one of Namjoon's favourites. I remember him telling me on our first date that the boys sometimes refer to him as 'the thinker' much to his amusement but a reference to his ridiculously high IQ.

As the car comes to a stop I see 7 people run out of the front door. It's my new housemates come to welcome me! I get out of the car and it's Lori I want to hug first. She looks wonderful, glowing like they say. She has put on a little weight but only being 8 or 9 weeks doesn't have a bump yet. We embrace for what feels like forever, both of us tearing up over finally being back with the other.

Next to show me how much they have missed me is Jimin. "Gwihan welcome! You

Look amazing" he says with his usual upbeat vigour. He is followed immediately by Yoongi who hugs me and kisses me on the cheek. "Welcome" he says in a typical Yoongi nonchalant way. Now it's to meet the  other boys in person for the first time.

Namjoon introduces me to Hoseok, and he hugs me and tells me to call him Hobi, then Jungkook, Taehyung and Jin. They are all very polite hugging me like I am made of glass and telling Namjoon i'm far more prettier in real life than my pictures. They usher me inside, sweeping me along the hallway and into the lounge. There laying on a huge gold cat bed embroidered with his name is my Louis! I make my way to him and give him love, tickling his chin like he loves and he rolls onto his back and I stroke his tummy. "How has he been?" I ask Lori. She laughs and says "he is loving it! He gets so much love and fuss".

The rest of the day and the following one for that matter are a blur of introductions to managers, bodyguards and house keepers.  Unpacking my things I arrived with, all my other items had already been done, space being made for me in Namjoon's room. Sleep, jet lag is a bitch and lastly but most importantly making love to my fiancé.
