The Rules: Book Five

18 and over, enjoy!

Riggs stood there as Namjoon explained their true relationship with Ami. He had worked in the industry a long time and had seen and heard a lot of things: quick flings, naughty escapades, dramatic relationships, and tormented love affairs, but this was locked-down love.

He looked at the guys, then over to Ami, then landed on Wendy who was smiling as she watched him take in what they were saying.

"You're joking." He finally looked back at the three smiling guys.

"Oh we wouldn't joke about that. Yoongi and Ami weren't in Iceland for just a vacation. They got married there." Tae shared. "Hobi is next.'

"Sooo, you aren't all getting married at once?" Riggs was trying to wrap his head around the logistics, let alone how they pulled it off for so long.

"Nope. Seven weddings. Only Hobi, Jungkook and Namjoon are left." Jimin relaxed. They all did, seeing he wasn't freaking out over their oversharing.

"Saving the best for last you know." Namjoon kidded.

"This nugget of information will put the puzzle pieces in place for the many things they do," Pak smiled. "You'll also see how hard they work to keep it secret. We all work hard. Things that may have looked like overkill before now won't seem like enough."

"So, like we said inside, the only people who know who aren't here now are Choi, Quon, and Dr. Lee."

"And he just found out a few days ago," Namjoon said more seriously. They all changed their tone to a more quiet, serious one. Riggs started thinking over everything from when he first met Ami to when he worked with Pak and when he met the guys. How they handled and managed things in New York the first time, let alone Su helping Wendy, "Oohh. This is why the tour is such a problem." He said slowly as he stared off into his thoughts.

"Yeah. It's a big problem." Tae said seriously. "We won't let her wander the world without us for that long."

"No. I believe you. I couldn't do that with Wendy. So, Jin let it slip about him and her, but why are you telling me this now?"

"Ami told Wendy. If she felt okay sharing this with her, you need to know, too." Namjoon turned as they slowly started walking back to the group.

"Actually, Su and I were considering telling you anyway to give you a more well-rounded perspective of the unique situation. Ami wanted more time, but would have told Wendy eventually, I'm sure. She needs to have all the boxes checked before letting people in." Pak explained, then Riggs stopped and they all turned and looked at him.

"She's smart to be cautious. This can't be public knowledge." Now Riggs was being serious as they started walking again. "Not that you want it, but running two tours might have some benefits. It gives the illusion of some breathing room, I know that's not what you want to hear."

"We need to talk about all options, whether we like them or not." Pak sighed as they joined the rest of the group and he walked over to stand by Su.

"How'd it go?" Su leaned over and asked quietly as Riggs sat down next to Wendy, putting his arm around her as she leaned in. Everyone looked happy they could relax again in their own home again.

"Good. While it's not my call, I think this is as far as sharing needs to go." Pak said quietly back. "I feel good about this group. Riggs understands both sides, he's like us. The girls are solid. Any more people and it feels messy. When we were in New York, she didn't hesitate to tell Lee. Just shared it without a blink."

"Well, he knows they're all together. I'm sure she didn't feel like sharing the rest was much of a stretch." Su turned to walk away from the group as Pak followed.
