"You're making me more nervous," he admitted to stop her because he was squeezing his nerves with hers.
"Sorry," she pouted ruefully. "I'm nervous too, sorry"
...
Well... At least he was not the only nervous mess in the room and he felt a little calm go through him when he noticed that Lisa was trying for him, she wanted to do things right for both of them and find a middle level that would solve this problem. He had to calm down and help her.
That made him smile a little bit and he moved her hair behind her ear, brushing her cheek. "Everything's gonna be alright," he repeated, tilting his head from side to side with a slightly funny expression that made her giggle.
That sweet sound calmed his erratic heartbeat quite a bit because for a few seconds at least he finally felt like everything would be okay.
"Okay, we're ready," she nodded with a determined expression.
They weren't.
"We are," he agreed, it was too late to run away anyway.
And both, hands clasped and palms together, approached the table with their best smiles, getting polite smiles as a reply.
"Hellooo, good morning everyone," Lisa hummed naturally with her charm unfolding its best because she knew she was going to need it. "Mom, Dad, this is Jeon Jungkook. Jungkook, my parents, Ananda and Preeda Manoban," she was quick to introduce them.
Jungkook leaned 90 degrees down with his hands clasped politely and he just received slight bows in response. Both older adults were clear wealthy people with years of high status and privilege and it wasn't noticeable because of their expensive clothes, but because they exuded an intimidating and powerful aura that naturally made you feel small... Especially when that was their clear intention.
Jungkook was not stupid, these people disapproved of him without knowing him at all and it was all because of his physical appearance.
But it was not the first time and if he could survive the horrible looks filled with hatred from Tzuyu's parents who believed that he had disgraced their daughter, he could probably survive this prejudice.
Not like he had another option.
Maybe if they knew him they would like him.
Maybe...
Everyone said that he was actually a very good boy AND IF THEY HAD LIED TO HIM HE WAS GOING TO DELIVER SLAPS LIKE AMAZON PRIME BECAUSE THE GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PARENTS OF HIS GIRLFRIEND HANG BY A THREAD AND ONLY HIS SUPPOSED CHARM COULD SAVE HIM.
"It's a pleasure," Preeda said... with all her lungs, forming a smile on her lips.
Lisa suddenly wanted to laugh wryly and barely managed to stifle her snort, thankfully Jungkook moved the chair for her in that moment and distracted her.
Her boyfriend sat next to her, upright with his hands together on his lap and fingers playing with his own rings, and looked at his in-laws with disguised attention.
Lisa's mother had the same eyes as Lisa but a little smaller and less accentuated, probably because of the makeup, the same happened with her lips but they both shared the same petite bodies and delicate movements. And even though they were alike, they were totally different in style and attitude and probably wouldn't seem related if you didn't see them together. Lisa's father, on the other hand, was huge. He was sitting but you could tell that he was a tall man, he had broad shoulders wrapped in a thin black dress jacket and huge hands with thick but pristine and clean fingers like those of a person who had never done any manual work. That probably explained Lisa being relatively tall for what was common.
