Remember Me This Way

"It's ok, right, babe? The more the merrier? Look at this way, at least they can distract Bammie away from me so we can have alone time."

"Good point but I was also looking forward to bonding with your brother this weekend. But I guess, I can do that some other time."

"You're planning on bonding with Bammie? Oh, Jinyoung...that's so sweet.... But there's plenty of time for that. Let's just enjoy this weekend ok?"

"I know, baby...it's just that...I want to do it as soon as possible...because it seemed like -" Jinyoung paused, contemplating if he should tell Jackson or not as he lowered his head and looked at his shoes. Jackson tilted his head, trying to look into Jinyoung's eyes.

"What's wrong, babe? Tell me what's on your mind." Jackson softly said.

"I-I...I just felt that Bambam didn't like me anymore since we started dating. I mean he didn't do or say anything to me....I just can't help but think this way." Jinyoung explained.

"It's not that he didn't like you. He...he is just in a protective mode? He just....he just thinks that we are moving too fast. And I think he was also a little bit jealous that he has to share me with you." Jackson giggled.

"The more reason I want to show him how much I love you and to assure him that I am serious about you...about us. And I am not planning on taking you away from him either. I would never do that."

"I know, babe, I know. You'll have that chance to bond with him." Jackson cupped Jinyoung's face and gave him a quick peck.

Jinyoung leaned on Jackson's touch, "I love you, you know." Jackson smiled. "I love you so much, Jackson." Jinyoung replied. He then moved away from Jackson, "Everyone ready? Let's go?"

After an 8 hour drive, more like 9 hours since Bambam and Yugyeom kept on asking to stop to get food or take photos. The group finally arrived at their destination. Jinyoung beamed at Jackson, "We're almost home. Are you ready?"

Jackson took a deep breath, "No? But I have to be. I just hope they'll like me." Jinyoung squeezed Jackson's hand that was on his lap. "They will adore you the same way I do." Jinyoung whispered.

Jinyoung turned inside a driveway and parked the car, "Whoa!!! This is your house?" wide-eyed Yugyeom asked.

"You're filthy rich and your wardrobe is mediocre?" Bambam mumbled.

"Bambam! Watch your mouth! That was rude." Jackson reprimanded.

Jinyoung laughed, "It's ok. But let me clarify this though, this is my parent's house so it's my parents who are rich and not me. You're right, Bam, my clothes are mediocre. When I finally have a best-selling book and make money, I will ask you to help me change my whole closet. Deal?" Jinyoung asked.

BamBam beamed with excitement, "Deal!" Jinyoung glanced at Jackson who was smiling at their interaction. "You just earned yourself a point, Jinyoung Park." Jackson discreetly cheered.

Mark, who was already walking towards Jinyoung's parents house, shouted, "Hurry up, slowpokes!" Yugyeom and Bambam hurriedly walked and passed Jinyoung and Jackson on the way. Mark was already on the porch when the door opened. An older lady who looked like Jinyoung greeted, "Markie!!! What a pleasant surprise. Jinyoungie didn't tell us that you're coming with them.

"Hi, Auntie." Mark hugged and kissed Jinyoung's mother. "You didn't know I'm coming because Nyoungie didn't invite me, so I invited myself because I miss my favorite auntie and uncle. Where's uncle?" Mark asked. "He'll be home any minute now. Oh, hello?" She asked when she saw the two younger ones approaching the porch.

"Hi, Mrs. Park." Yugyeom greeted while Bambam bowed. "This is Yugyeom, our maknae from the same university. And this is Bambam, Jackson's younger brother." Jinyoung said as he and Jackson reached the porch. Jinyoung's mom came outside the door and let Mark, Yugyeom and Bambam go inside while she hugged Jinyoung, "I miss you, baby." Jinyoung smiled. "You must be -" Jinyoung interrupted his mother to introduce Jackson, "Mom, I want you to meet, Jackson." Mrs. Park gave Jackson a hug, "Ah, our Nyoungie's boyfriend. I am happy to meet you. Come in." Mrs. Park said as she wrapped her arm around Jackson's.
