Falling for my little devil💕

Chapter 9

Hiding their relationship from Mrs. Jeon was an impossible task.

Not because Jungkook and Jimin weren't discreet. They tried.

They didn't act any differently in front of her. They still bickered like usual, still teased each other non-stop, still pretended like nothing had changed.

Except...

Mrs. Jeon was too smart.

And Jimin was horrible at keeping secrets.

It all started the morning after their first kiss.

Jimin walked into the kitchen, still groggy, his lips slightly swollen.

Mrs. Jeon immediately squinted at him.

"Jimin, sweetheart," she said, too sweetly. "Why do you look... well-kissed?"

Jimin choked on his own spit. "W-what?"

Jungkook, who had just entered the kitchen, froze mid-step.

Mrs. Jeon's sharp eyes darted between them. "Hmmm."

Jungkook quickly recovered, grabbing a banana from the counter. "No idea what you're talking about, eomma."

Jimin nodded too quickly. "Yeah! Haha! What a crazy thing to say eommaa..!"

Mrs. Jeon didn't say anything, but her expression screamed: I'll find out. And soon.

Jimin gulped.

For two whole days, Jimin and Jungkook tried to act normal.

They failed.

Miserably.

The first mistake? Jimin slipping up in the dumbest way possible.

They were in the living room, alone, when Jungkook wrapped his arms around Jimin from behind and whispered, "You smell nice."

Jimin giggled. "Stop it, Koo!"

And then—

Silence.

Jimin's heart stopped.

So did Jungkook's.

Because Mrs. Jeon had just walked in.

And she had heard that.

Jimin's soul left his body.

Jungkook, ever the panicked idiot, immediately stepped away like Jimin was on fire.

Mrs. Jeon stared at them, expressionless.

Jimin tried to play it cool. "H-haha! What's up, eomma? Lovely weather we're having, huh?"

Mrs. Jeon slowly crossed her arms. "Koo?"

Jungkook swallowed. "...That's my name."

"Jiminie has never called you that before."

Jimin panicked. "I—I just thought of it! Cute, right? Haha!"

Mrs. Jeon smiled.

Not a nice smile. A terrifying one.

"You two are dating."

Jungkook and Jimin both flinched.

Jimin: "NO!"
Jungkook: "YES—wait, NO!"

Mrs. Jeon took a step closer. "Jimineee Tell me the truth."

Jimin gave up immediately. "YES! WE'RE DATING! PLEASE EOMMA!"
