Threads of fate

Chapter 25

Minji simply shrugged. “Well, it’s a job, isn’t it? As long as it makes you happy.”

Namjoon was taken aback but also deeply appreciative. Minji’s lack of fascination with his fame was a refreshing change from the world he usually navigated. She treated him as Namjoon, not RM of BTS, and that grounded him.

Out of respect for Jin’s privacy, Minji never mentioned her best friend to Namjoon beyond calling him “J.” Similarly, Namjoon refrained from discussing the other BTS members in detail, believing they would meet when the time was right.

Minji’s world revolved around her art, Namjoon’s heart, and her cherished friendship with Jin. Her ignorance of Jin’s connection to BTS was a product of mutual respect and personal boundaries, but it also set the stage for an inevitable revelation that would shake all their lives.

Minji was curled up on her couch, phone in hand, as she texted Jin, or “J” as she always called him. The wedding planning with joon was going smoothly, but finding the perfect venue had been a challenge. She trusted Jin’s taste and resources, knowing he owned several properties and resorts.

Minji: J, I need a huge favor. joon and I are searching for a private place for our wedding. Do you have any recommendations?

Jin’s reply came almost immediately.

Jin: Of course. I have a resort in Jeju that’s completely private. It’s surrounded by nature and away from any crowds.

Minji’s eyes lit up as she read the message. She could already picture the serene beauty of Jeju Island, the perfect backdrop for her and Namjoon’s intimate wedding.

Minji: J, that sounds amazing! Are you sure it’s okay for us to use it?

Jin: It’s yours. I’ll make all the arrangements. You don’t need to worry about a thing.

Minji clutched her phone to her chest, grinning. She immediately shared the news with Namjoon, who was equally thrilled. “He said it’s completely private,” Minji explained. “No one will be able to bother us there. Isn’t that perfect?”

Namjoon nodded, a rare wide smile spreading across his face. “That’s exactly what we’ve been searching for. Jeju is beautiful, and if it’s that private, we won’t have to worry about the media finding us.”

Minji quickly messaged Jin again.

Minji: Thank you so much, J. This is exactly what we wanted. You’re a lifesaver!

Jin smiled at her enthusiasm as he sat in his study, looking at pictures of the resort. The property was one of his favorites, a hidden gem nestled in Jeju’s hills, surrounded by the sea on one side and lush green mountains on the other. He hadn’t visited it in years, but it was impeccably maintained by his staff.

Jin: It’s my pleasure. Just let me know the date, and I’ll make sure everything is perfect.

Minji and Namjoon finalized their plans with the location set. When Minji told her family about the resort, they were thrilled. Her mother especially loved the idea of an outdoor wedding surrounded by nature.

Jin took out his phone and dialed the resort manager, his tone leaving no room for negotiation. "Block off two weeks. No new reservations. If there are existing bookings, offer them an all-expenses-paid stay at another time. I want complete exclusivity. prepare for a wedding—joon and Minji’s. It needs to reflect their taste perfectly."

The manager hesitated for only a moment before responding, "Understood, sir. We’ll handle everything."

As the weeks passed, Jin worked behind the scenes to ensure the resort was ready for the wedding. He personally instructed his staff to prepare the venue with simple yet elegant touches, aligning with Minji and joon’s preference for intimacy. Despite his own emotions, he poured his heart into making the day special for Minji.

On the day Minji and Namjoon arrived at the resort to see it for the first time, they were blown away. The resort stood gracefully against the backdrop of the sea, and the courtyard was adorned with soft lights and blooming flowers. The ancient tree in the center of the yard stood tall and proud, its branches stretching wide, creating a perfect spot for their vows.

“This is perfect,” Minji whispered, her voice full of emotion as she held Namjoon’s hand.

Namjoon nodded. “It’s more than perfect. It feels… peaceful and totally private.”

The resort wasn’t just a place—it was a legend. Unlike any other luxury getaway, this resort was built for those who needed absolute privacy. It was surrounded by dense forests, dramatic cliffs, and a private, untouched beach, making it impossible for paparazzi or uninvited guests to get anywhere near it.

What made this place truly unique was its zero-network policy. In the entire area, there was no signal, no Wi-Fi, and no way to contact the outside world.

No Cell Service – The location was naturally isolated, and Jin ensured that no mobile towers operated in the area.

No Wi-Fi or Internet Access – Unlike regular five-star resorts, guests could not be tracked, contacted, or disturbed.

Private Landline Access: Each villa had a landline phone that guests could use to make calls anywhere in the world.

Dedicated Communication Room: A soundproof call center was available for guests who needed to make long conversations or business calls without interruptions. The lines were secure, ensuring no leaks of private information.

Satellite Connection for Reliability: Since there was no cellular network, the resort’s landline system used a direct satellite connection, making calls crystal clear even in stormy weather.

Walkie-Talkies for Internal Use: While outside communication was through landlines, guests and staff used encrypted walkie-talkies to communicate within the resort.

Even the booking process was highly exclusive—reservations had to be made at least six months in advance.

Minji sent Jin a heartfelt thank-you message that night, but little did she know, Jin was watching from afar, ensuring everything was just right. It was his way of showing his love and support without stepping too close. For him, Minji’s happiness was enough.
