Chapter 101: From Just Us to All of Us

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Is this... all yours?" he asked quietly, his voice low but not cold.

Joonie smiled. "Ours," he said simply.

"All of us

"All of us."

There was a pause-long enough to carry the weight of decades-and then his father nodded once.

"Good," he said.
Just that. But it was everything.

His mother smiled too, a little softer now, her hand gently resting on Joon's arm.

"You've created something extraordinary."

Joonie's eyes shimmered then, just a little.

And I watched it happen-slowly, surely.

The walls around them-their reserved formality, their quiet caution-began to melt.

Not in grand declarations.
But in small gestures.

A warmer gaze. A shared laugh. A plate passed to someone new. A drink accepted.

By the time dessert came around, they weren't just observers anymore.

They were family.

And I?
I looked around and saw home.
I wasn't nervous anymore.

Kookie was now laughing with Jeff, Jiwon and Tae. Dara was dragging Joonie into a wine debate.

Jin hyung and Yoongi hyung were being praised like culinary gods.

Jae has joined Yeona and Y/N noona dancing barefoot to music only they could hear.

And I was sitting on the couch beside Jiwon's mom, who was telling me stories about Tae in high school, while Wacha curled on my lap and Yeontan snored beside my foot.

I reached over, took Kookie's hand again. He looked at me with eyes that sparkled.

"This is a great family," he whispered.

I smiled.

"Yeah," I said. "It really is."

I catch a glimpse of Jungkook and Hobi across the living room, both tucked near the fireplace with Yeontan curled between them, his tail happily wagging.
