Spending Chuseok with Jin's family was no joke. It was true that they were together for months and she owed it to him too, but she couldn't help but get nervous. She was not the most talkative person in the world, and although he had assured her that everything would be fine, she was still afraid that they would think she was not good enough for their son.

- I do will tell you one thing before we go in. - Jin said suddenly. - Always sit with your back straight.

She nodded in surprise. Any recommendation was well received. In fact, she had tried to memorize as much information as possible about them that she had read or asked Jin: about his mother, about his father, that as a child he was volunteering with his father... not forgetting the Japanese restaurant he had with his brother, SeokJung, Ossu Seiromushi.

- They're not going to give you an exam, Y/N. - He laughed every time she asked him more.

- I'd rather be prepared.

Jin's parents lived in the same city, and his brother and his sister-in-law had arrived when they knocked on the door.

-Breathe... - he whispered, looking at her as he squeezed her hand warmly.

She also squeezed his hand, while in the other she held a bag of gifts, especially for the future baby.

- Omma! Have you done sanjeok? - It was almost the first thing Jin said when he entered the house.

Y/N bowed and smiled sheepishly. Then she handed the bag to the mother and began to exchange her shoes for slippers. She understood that beauty came from his mother's side, that woman was beautiful. His brother, however, was more like his father. It had been so long since she had been wearing a hanbok that she felt a bit uncomfortable.

After introductions, they headed to the cemetery. Jin's sister-in-law approached her.

- You're not wearing the ring. - She said in a low voice smiling at her.

- No, I don't have one. - She answered worried.

- But you've been over a hundred days together.

- Yes... I suppose that with his work it is difficult to put it on, so why buy it, right?

- To put it on you.

- Oh, well... yeah.

- Y/N... I don't want to bother you, excuse me if I did. Maybe it's that pregnancy hormones make me want everyone to love each other, or because it's the first time we've met Jin's girlfriend.

- I'm the first. -Ahreum nodded.

- Wow, Butter is moving, will want to meet you. You want to say hello?

Ahreum showed the belly to Y/N, who, with a trembling hand, put it on top. She noticed the movements and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

- This is your future aunt, Butter.

Y/N removed her hand and leaned in to thank her.

- You don't have to do that, we are family. Call me Unnie, please. And... as a tip... when we're all together, call him Oppa.

She nodded and burned it into her memory so she wouldn't forget it. The two fell silent and Y/N could hear the conversation that the rest of the members who were walking in front of them were having.

- Tomorrow the rest of the family will come, your uncle will bring strawberries from the plantation for everyone and your aunt will give you money like every year, even if you don't need it.

- I'm not sure if we will be able to see them.

- You told me on the phone that you would spend the night here. - Her mother answered. - Besides, in such a short time I won't have time to meet her.
