The Adventure of a Lifetime Part 2: Texas Bound

Unpredictability

As JYP entered, he looked tired. More tired that I had ever seen him. "Ummm, sir. Mr. Park, are you ok? Can I get you some water?" Changbin shows up just then with a bottle of water, looking worried too. We glance at each other, then at Chris. Something is up and we can feel the worry coming off of him.

"You all might want to sit down." He waits for us to take our places on the sofa, as he too sits down in one of the chairs facing us. "It looks as though someone has leaked plans for your quiet two weeks in Jeju." I gasp as I sit up abruptly next to Changbin. "I know you all are due to leave in a couple of days, but I have a plan and an idea. Lynn, I know you have a place in Texas. I want you to go there. All of you. Tonight. Take nothing but what you absolutely need for the next couple days. You will take one of my cards with you for anything else. Once you land, there will be a van waiting to take you to your place. We may need to play this by ear if it needs to be extended longer than a few weeks. I'm sure your two kids can hold it down here?"

"Of course. I'm just... I still have a follow up doctor visit I'm supposed to do."

"Mom, breath. It will get taken care of. Just calm down. Me and Tony will hold down things here. You and the guys just go. Ok?"

"Lynn, baby, let us help you. If we need to fly back for those, we will. Or if we can meet with a doctor there, we will. Whatever it takes. And look, we get to see where you live." Chris looks at me, smiling.

"Lynn, I will take care of the doctor. Please, let me. I am very upset about this and am tracking down who said something. I had a feeling that we have not gotten all the bugs out in the building. I have a team on it right now, combing over the entire JYP building. When I got here, they had already notified me of two found in the cafeteria area so far. I am sure there are more. I owe you so much for helping me to see what was going on in my own company. So please, let me help."

"Yes, I do have my property in Texas, but my house is not exactly large y'all. It's a three-bedroom smaller house. I never changed it when we won the money. We might need to get something a bit bigger. And further away from town so not everyone knows we are there. Cause ya know, Stray Kids? You're kinda famous and all that! And I really don't wanna have to beat a bitch trying to lay hands on my men. I will pull my Beast out and run some skank over."

"I love when our woman goes all American country ghetto." Changbin grins from ear to ear while JYP stares at me in shock.

"I do not even understand exactly what was just said or how to interpret that. Do I even what to know what was said?"

"NO!" Both Chris and Minho shout at the same time, doubled over in laughter. JYP stands up, shaking his head and grinning as we all scramble. Don and Tony come in, helping me throw my clothes and toiletries in a bog. I pull out my phone, realizing it is well past time to call my friend. Now. I desperately need her and she is the only one will understand everything.

Calling my friend Lauren, I know she's going to kick my ass when she sees me. I had texted her a few times, but she had no clue everything that had happened. Now, I know how stupid it's been to hide. Out of everyone I know, she would be the one to understand everything I've been going through with the guys.

"Lynn, woman, what the hell is going on there! You are marrying Changbin and did not think to call me? I have been trying to get a hold of you. What..."

"Lauren, please hold that thought. I need your help."

"What is going on doll? And what is all that noise in the background? Is everything ok? Do I need to book a flight to fight someone?"

I giggle before starting the conversation back up. "Well, I'm fixing to be on my way back to Texas. Long story that I will tell you about when I get there. But all of us are coming. Well, me and the eight guys. Don and Tony will be coming later. Ummm, got any houses you think we could rent? Or hell, even buy? Enough for all of us? There is so much I need to tell you about. I know I should have called you. And Ren, let's just say I now understand your relationship a whole lot more."
