The guys all checked their phones from wherever they were only to see a shocking message in the group chat.

Kris: Hey guys, you remember Jia’s grandma Suzy right, the seriously ill one. She fears she’s gunna die soon and she asked me and Jia to push the wedding to an earlier date so that we get married before she dies. Jia already did it.

Kris was tired of flicking through different channels on his TV. Jia still hadn’t come back from work since she usually finished at 8. Just as he was about to throw the remote at his TV out of boredom he heard loud knocks and the doorbell being rung repeatedly. He rolled his eyes fondly and dragged his feet to the door.

“We have been so patient; humouring you even.” Jongin added.

“But when are you going to finally come to your senses and break that engagement of yours?” Chanyeol continued, tone straightforward. The other guests didn’t even scold him instead they nodded.
