Nice to meet you. I love you. |BTS JIMIN HS FF|

'Jimin, wake up.' I felt someone touching my shoulder, gently shaking me awake

I have no idea what time it is. It could be 7 in the morning or 7 in the evening. I have no clue. All I know is that I'm holding her hand, sleeping with my head on the bed, in a chair by the bed.

I opened my eyes, looking around myself to see Namjoon smiling at me, and two people sysnding behind him. A middle-aged lady and a man.

Parents.

'Oh, I'm so sorry. Hello. I'm Jimin Park.' I got up quickly and started bowing deeply. 'I'm truly sorry we had to meet in such a horrible situation.'

'Oh, poor baby. You must be so worried!' I did not expect her mom to run and hug me

'Y-yeah. I'm kind of scared to death. But I think we all are.' I hugged her back. What else am I gonna do?

'You could not be more right.' Her dad agrees. 'If I ever get my hands on whoever did this, I'm gonna strangle him with my own two hands.' He hissed out

'Considering these two are a bit spacey, I guess I'll introduce them. This is my mom, Una, and my father, Sang-He.' Namjoon jumps in

'You'll have to forgive us. We are a bit too out of it right now.' Her mom apologizes

'Please, there's no need to apologise for a single thing Mrs. Moon. It's completely understandable. I'm barely thinking myself.' I can't even imagine the fear they feel as parents

'Namjoon explained it briefly, but you and Yeona, you are together?' Her mom asks

'Yes, ma'am. We are.' I bow a little

'I see.' She smiles. 'Thank you for staying with her.'

'As if I would leave her. She's gonna have to wake up and fight me on it. No other way I'm going.' I was being serious, but her father must have found it a bit funny and chuckled at my words

'Have you eaten anything yet, Jimin?' Her dad asks

'No, sir. I don't really have an appetite, to be honest.' I admit

'You and me both. But we kind of have to. All of us. She's not waking up anytime soon as much as doctors told us. Let's all 4 off us go and have something to eat, shall we?' He had such a gentle smile on his face

'He looks sweet, but he is stubborn and won't drop it. Just accept your fate, and let's go.' Namjoon sighs. Looks like he's been through this before.

'We won't go far. There is a restaurant by the hospital. We will be about a minute away if anything happens.' He smiled again

I just nodded, giving in. It really seems as if he won't let out go, so I might as well accept.

'I bet you didn't think you'd be having dinner with the parents without the girlfriend being present.' Namjoon snickers at me, teasing a little

'I gotta admit, I did not see this coming.' I chuckle

'At least we don't have to be afraid of her cutting herself or something.' Her dad jokes

'I think I've seen her just hit the table more times than anything. Her knees and ankles are always bruised.' I sigh a little

We all joked a bit about her clumsiness before they changed the subject.

'Do you mind if we ask how you two know each other?' He mom asks me

'Not at all. We are in the same class as of this school year, but we actually knew each other back when we were kids. Maybe 7 or 8. We used to play in that park in the neighbourhood together.' I smile at the memory

Her mom squinted a little, looking like she's thinking about something, then she got all shocked.
'Don't tell you were that little steamed bun that used to run around with her? The one that would come home with her every time she fell?'

'Yep. That steamed bun would be me.' I laugh

'My God, the time flies so fast.' She looked all happy, clapping her hands together

'Well, you don't look like a steamed bun anymore, that's for sure.' Namjoon jokes

'Only when I laugh a lot. My eyes still hide behind my cheeks. I don't think I'm getting rid of that anytime soon.' I poke fun at myself, making them all laugh a little

My phone went off, and I would have ignored it if it wasn't my mom. I told her about Yeona, and I told her what happened. She would notice me missing for a few days.
'I'm sorry about this. It's my mom. Is it okay if I get it?' I really don't wanna be rude

'By all means.' Her mom smiled, and I bowed a little

'Hello? Mom?'

'Jimina, son, how is she doing?

'She is still asleep, mom.'

'And you? Are you okay? Tired? Scared? Have you eaten?'

'I'm okay, mom, I promise. I'm... I'm actually just having dinner with her parents.'

'Go and make yourself presentable! Don't forget flowers!' She was so loud they definitely heard her

'Yes, mom. I'm sure I'll be able to get a suit and flowers and all that in the hospital.' I sigh at her idiocy. I did notice Namjoon and his parents trying not to laugh

'First impressions are important!' She is still at it

'Mom, please.' I laugh. 'I don't think any of us care about that right now. We've got bigger problems. Please, calm down. Okay?'

She took a deep breath but caved in. 'Okay. Just be polite.'

'When am I not?' I argue

'Right, right. Okay. Go now. It's rude to be on your phone during dinner.' She scolds me

'You're the one that called me, what do you-' She hung up on me mid sentence, having me stare at the screen

'I am honestly very sorry about that. She is... eccentric.' I can't say she's crazy

The three of them threw a little laughter fit, finding it all so amusing.

'Oh, thank you for that. I was so worried and scared, but this made me truly laugh for the first time since the news.' Her dad smiles at me

'Anytime. I can call her anytime you need a good laugh.' I offer, and he laughs even more

I guess this isn't bad at all as far as the first meeting dinners go.
