Once In A Lifetime

43

Six months later.....

"Your Korean has gotten really good for only learning for a few months now Hannah. Bravo!" Hannah laughs at her best friend praising her for barely learning the  new important language. "I'm not that good Tae, not even close. I can say words better than I can understand someone speaking to me. It's so hard." Tae smiles and elbows her. "You're doing really good Han. None of us mind talking in English for you though, it's good practice for us too. So don't stress yourself out about it. You're doing great." Hannah smiles and leans into him to bump him back. "Thanks. When do you guys leave?" Hannah was having her regular every Tuesday lunch with Tae, who had become her very best friend. Jungkook wasn't a bit jealous thankfully, as he knew Tae would never cross a line. She was thankful for having Taehyung in her life, she never really knew what having a die hard best friend was like. Carley was her longest and best friend, but with Tae it's different. She can speak freely and he never judges her. He's always brutally honest with her as well. He's family. He pops a piece of pork in his mouth and says, "we leave in six days. First leg of the tour is Europe which I can't wait for! Paris! Ahh, Paris is my favorite place to visit." Hannah laughs and nods. She's going to miss him, and the others, so bad when they leave for tour. They'll be gone for almost six months. They'll come back twice during that time for like two days before heading back out. "What am I going to do without you" Hannah pouts. Tae laughs and squeezes her cheeks. "You'll be with your man and get your novel finished and sent in. And I'll FaceTime you and Jungkookie as much as I can. It'll go by fast. Maybe you two can fly out to one of our concerts." Hannah's eyes light up at this. "Yeah! I'll ask Kook which date would work best for him and we'll ask PD to get us tickets." Tae smiles. "Ooh! Come to Paris!!" Hannah laughs and nods. "I'll try my best to go there."

Things have been great for the past six months since Hannah decided to stay in Korea and live with Jungkook. He was still very busy and worked long hours, but he always made time for Hannah and he had her come to the company a lot, to his studio. Her family was nervous for her to move to the other side of the world after what Jungkook had done, but they came around quickly. Especially her grandpa, he's always wanted her to get out and see the world. And even after everything that happened between Hannah and Jungkook, her grandpa knew he was the one for her, and was confident he'd never hurt her again. Her mom, grandparents and Carley all flew over to Korea with all her belongings. They stayed for four days and met Jungkooks family. They also all met BTS, which Carley was more than thrilled for. She got all their autographs and pictures with them. Hobi more than the others and Hannah is pretty sure Carley and Hobi exchanged numbers, but she didn't want to ask and intrude. The language barrier was a little difficult but they all got along well. Both Hannah and Jungkook were very happy for this. Before her family left Jungkook had lunch with just her grandpa. There, he asked for his blessing to propose to Hannah. He didn't know when, but he wanted to make sure he had Mikes blessing because he was the most important man in Hannah's life. Mike got teary eyed and gladly gave him his blessing. Jungkook showed him the ring he was having designed just for her and it made Mike tear up again. "I don't have to tell ya how special that Bean is to me, her gran and her mom, I know ya know. I know y'all had your hard time there but I'm glad ya worked it out. Take good care of her son and make sure she comes home to visit." Jungkook smiles and nods. "I promise. She's everything to me. I won't screw up again. I'll spend my life making sure she's happy and loved." Mike nods, knowing Jungkook was telling him the truth. "That ring prolly costs more than my house son. Makes me nervous for her to wear it around and lose it." Jungkook laughs loudly. "She's worth so much more than the amount of that ring. She's priceless to me and I want her to have something no one else has. I want to spoil her." Mike laughs. "That's definitely spoilin' her. But she's one that should be spoiled. You're a good man son, I know you're the right one for her." Jungkook feels his heart swell at her grandpas compliment.
