Forever - Book 3 in The Perfect Partner Trilogy

Chapter Fourteen

Jimin rang the doorbell and looked down at his watch. They probably wouldn't have a lot of time.

The door opened, and Sara welcomed him into the apartment. He glanced at her as he kicked off his shoes inside the door. "Is everything ready?"

"Yes. We're just waiting. How did everything go?"

"As expected. Everyone here?" He followed her down the hallway to the living room, the sight of everyone pretty much answering his question.

Hobi jumped up and ran over to him. "Are they coming? How did it go? I can't handle the suspense!" He placed his hands on Jimin's shoulders and desperately hung his head.

"Hyung, they'll be here soon, I'm sure." Jimin removed his friend's hands from his shoulders and grinned.

"Knowing Jenna as I do, she's probably dying to talk to me about it and won't be able to stay out much longer." Sara giggled, imagining her friend's excitement level about now.

Jimin looked around the room and frowned slightly, "Where's Yoongi hyung?"

He saw a thin arm pop up from behind the overstuffed chair.

Namjoon rolled his eyes and spoke, "He didn't want to be bothered to move when it was time to hide, so he is already in his spot." He waved a hand at the chair and went back to looking at his phone.

Jimin walked over to the chair, knelt on the seat, and looked behind it. Yoongi was stretched out on the floor with one arm over his eyes, and the other laid lazily across his stomach.

"Good to see you again after so long, hyung." Jimin giggled, and his eyes disappeared with his broad smile.

"Mmn," grunted Yoongi, moving the arm on his face slightly and cracking open one eye slightly. Then, he smirked at Jimin and returned to his original position.

Jimin giggled and turned around. He saw Jungkook sulking on the couch. "Jungkookie, what's with the long face? You're making Hobi hyung's face look small at the moment."

"Yah! I heard that," Hobi grumbled loudly from the bathroom.

"Sorry, hyung!" Jimin grinned and returned his attention to the younger member. "What's up?"

"Why am I the last to know these things?! I should have made her wear the sexy dress," he groaned with disappointment and put his face in his hands. "If I had only known," he muttered.

Jimin laughed. "Jungkookie, I saw her. She looked...amazing. Even not knowing the plan, you did a perfect job."

He patted Jungkook on the back. "Cheer up," he giggled.

His phone buzzed, and he quickly moved to pull it out of his pocket. Everyone looked towards him, bracing themselves to run and hide.

"Hmm. It's the manager. They're about three minutes away, which gives us about five minutes! Scramble everyone! And don't forget to count to ten from the time the keypad beeps before you jump out!"

Everyone ran like madmen to find places to hide. Jimin and Sara moved to the kitchen to prep the cake. Hobi ran around like a lightning bolt, clicking off lamps and flipping off light switches.

About forty-five seconds later, the entire apartment was silent and dark.

Sara felt something nudge her from the side. "Jimin," she whispered, irritated he would possibly try flirting with her with Namjoon nearby.

"It's not me, Sara," Jimin giggled softly, having seen the large shadow move into the kitchen.

Sara gasped as two strong and familiar arms wrapped around her from behind, and she felt her face flush.
