EP XXVII

they're heads turned towards our direction when we stepped inside the living room

"eomma.." I got the notification on my mind that the act has begun when jungkook's tone rang in my ears

"eomma, I know that you're mad at me but-" he came forward and held his mother's hand

"who said I'm angry?" our brows furrowed when hearing his mother's question. the thing is that, we expected Mrs. Jeon to not accept me but..

"h-huh?" Jungkook's voice now reflected real confusion as he peaked a glance at me to see that I had the same reaction as him

"who said I'm angry, Jungkook-ah? why would I be angry?" Mrs. Jeon got up and made her way to me

"I am rather happy with the news" she stood in front of me. seeing me having a surprised expression on my face, she chuckled and brought her hands up to cup my face

I didn't know why but my subconscious mind leaned in to her gentle touch. her hands were really soft and warm, making me feel a new feeling

a feeling.. that I have craved for the longest time..

a feeling.. that I was hesitant to let go of but I had no other choice but to do so..

a feeling.. that I left behind years ago

the feeling.. of getting mother's love and affection

her this very small made me go way back that I was losing my current self

"y/n dear?" my body shook up "you okay?" her voice was also soft. I could clearly see the concerns that was held in her for me

"what happened?" she asked again which I shook my head to "no-nothing, eomma" I said and looked down but a second had barely passed when I realized, what I had addressed the lady in front of me

"oh no. I-I am really s-sorry, ma'am-" I was apologising until she stopped me "aish, such a kiddo. why are you apologising, hm? you're my jungkook's girlfriend.. I am his mother so, I am your mother too" she exclaimed before engulfing me in a hug with herkkkk

I turned my head to look at jungkook. He was just staring at us with the same expression as before

"now, let's go and eat, hm?" her voice chirped as she walked towards the dining area with her husband, leaving me and her son alone in living room

I brought my face up to see him taking steps closer to me. I quickly wiped my tears that had unknowingly  formed in my eyes

"what happened to you suddenly?" his confused voice made me look at him again "w-what? oh, nothing happened. let's not make your parents  wait anymore" I passed him a forced smile so that he wouldn't suspect anything

but his face clearly said that he didn't believe me but shrugged it off anyways "alright.. now, come" he made his way towards the dining room as I heaved out a heavy breath before joining the Jeon family in the lunch

"this is so good" I complimented before chewing on the delicious tteokbokki that Mrs. Jeon made

"do you like it? I specially made it myself as you'll be coming to lunch with us" "like? I love it!" I smiled at her as she returned the same

"now, y/n. tell us about yourself" Mrs. Jeon sat down on the chair in front of me "what would you like to know about me? you already know my name and what I do so.." I looked at them as she nodded

"well, tell us about your family, your parents, do you have any siblings?"

my eating stopped right there

the air suddenly seemed to become heavy around me as I found it hard to breathe

I took in a large amount of oxygen and I obviously had to let out. my sigh may had taken all of their attention

"y-y/n.." a hand rested on top of mine

I looked up from my lap to see jungkook looking at me with concern making me realize what I was doing. even tho I didn't notice much things but i did notice jungkook stuttering while calling for me by my name instead of addressing me formally

which I found funny and that helped me lighten my mood a little. we had to act as couples now. so, jungkook has to get used to calling me by my name until this act comes to an end

"yeah? oh, uhm. my parents? sorry, I zoned out" I chuckled and looked up to cover up the way I acted just now

"my parents are fine.. my f-father has a model agency under him but currently my older brother is taking care of it" I answered making them nod

I tried very hard to not show my nervousness but I still let it out sometimes while answering

"do you live with them?" my breath hitched at her question but I hesitantly shook my head side to side

but then I realized that tears were starting to form in my eyes again

shit shit shit!

no, don't break down in front of them!

"y/n, you alri-" I cut off Mrs. Jeon and get up from my seat "I'm really sorry. please, excuse me" I bowed and then sprinted off to the washroom

"o-oh no" I locked myself inside. my body started to shiver as I made my way closer to the sink

a shaky breath escaped my mouth as I look at myself on the mirror. tears were running down my face

stupid, y/n

why are you so emotional, huh?

why are you crying?

why did you run away from there?

why do you still cry at the mention of them?

knowing that their the one who abandoned you?

why can't you just hate them?

why do you still love them?

but.. why shouldn't I love them?

they're my parents..

I splashed water on my face and kept on doing so

b-but, it's my fault, right?

If I agreed to dad then we three still could've been better

far more better than..

being acknowledged as a stranger by your own father and mother

but should I only blame me tho?

what could've happened if they accepted my professional choice?

I wouldn't be here crying

I need to be strong..

and as said, I harshly wiped my tears away

I looked at myself to be sure if I was presentable enough. heaving out the last frustrated sigh, I turned back to face the door and twisted the doorknob

just as I opened the door, I was jolted up to see someone standing right outside the bathroom

"M-Mrs. Jeon?"
