Love Maze | BTS Poly

Full House

Jimin points a finger gun at her and winks.

Roxy has always been bold like that. And Jimin is definitely not the shy type like he sometimes pretends to be. They'd make quite the pair if he wasn't already in a relationship with the members and me.

Jimin takes the checkbook from me and signs the bill, placing his card in it afterward. He then closes it and gives it to Roxy.

"I'll be right back with your card," she tells him before leaving the table.

The boys and I thank him for paying and I ask, "Did you leave a tip? I can just Venmo her if not."

"Yeah, I tipped a thousand."

"Did you say a thousand?! Like, as in three zeros after the one?"

"Mhmm," Jimin says casually. "She's in medical school and she's your best friend. The tip is fitting."

I press a chaste kiss to his cheek. Jimin's so selfless and caring. This man truly has a heart of gold.

When Roxy comes back, she tells Jimin that she can't accept that much money. Jimin refuses to take it back. They go back and forth like this for a while. Eventually, Jimin wins and Roxy vows that she'll repay him for his kind gesture.

"No, no, no," Jimin shakes his head. "There's no need. You're a good waitress. You deserve it."

"Thank you so much. This means a lot to me."

He smiles. "Don't mention it."

"We should probably get going," I say after we chit-chat some more. "My mom is texting me asking if we landed yet. See you at Anna's grad party tomorrow?"

"Wouldn't miss it."

I give Roxy a quick hug and she waves goodbye to the members.

We exit the restaurant the same way we entered and pile back into the cars. I then plug my address into the GPS.

"You ready to go home?" Yoongi asks me.

"As ready as I'll ever be."

Following a short ten-minute drive, we're now parked in my driveway. The sun has set and lightning bugs are dancing around the yard. And it looks like my stepdad finally painted the front porch. My mother has been nagging him for ages to do it.

I make my way up to the house with the members close behind me. I hesitate once I reach the door, my hand on the knob. I contemplate whether I should knock or just walk right in. I choose the latter to avoid getting my dogs riled up.

"Is that my Audaire?" I hear my mom wonder when I push open the front door. Ellie and Honey bark, surrounding us as soon as we step inside. So much for my stealthy plan. I pat their heads to greet them as well as calm them down. My mother then sprints towards me and engulfs me in a warm embrace. She sniffles.

"Mom, are you crying?"

"Well, duh. I haven't seen my baby in over a year," she replies, breaking from the hug and wiping a fallen tear. "I can't believe you're finally here!"

"Me neither. This feels... surreal."

"It does," she concurs. "Now, are you gonna introduce me to my future son-in-law?"

"Mom!"

"Kat! Don't embarrass her!" my stepdad scolds, getting up from the recliner.

"Oh, can it, Eric," she jokingly responds.

Jungkook chuckles softly, stepping up beside me. "Hi, it's nice to meet you."

"Oh my!" exclaims my mother. "You're even more handsome than the pictures."
