"So, Haeryung. What is your job?" Jungkook's aunty, Chaelin, asked. She looks quite intimidating though and that's making me nervous. I gulped before answering.
"I work at Mrs Jeon's flower shop."
"Oh, your brother?" She asked as she looked at my brother, who's talking to Jungkook.
"My brother is a model." I answered immediately.
"Okay, can you cook?" She asked another question. Why is she interrogating me?
"Yes, I can."
"Actually, Chae, she's the one who cooked these foods." Mrs Jeon joined our conversation. I'm glad she stepped into this conversation because it's getting more serious.
"Really, Haeryung? The foods are delicious." Jungkook's uncle complimented. His wife was unbothered with the comment.
"Are you serious with Jungkook?" Another question. Again. I kept my composure and answered her. Again.
"Yes. I'm serious."
"Chae, let's finish the foods first. You can talk to her after we eat." Mrs Jeon came to the rescue. I mouthed thank you to her and she just smiled. After we finish eating, the boys decided to go fishing while I stayed at home with Jungkook's mother and aunty.
"Haeryung, just bear with her, okay, darling? She has always been fond of Jungkook since he was little so, I hope you understand why she's like that. Okay?" Mrs Jeon spoke to me in the kitchen.
"I'll manage, aunty. Don't worry." I replied her with a convincing smile.
"This girl. I told you to call me omma since I'm your soon to be mother, right?" She patted my back. I nodded.
"Sorry, omma. Now, I'll have to bring this out before she scolds me." I said as I put the teapot and cups on the tray.
"Yeah, you should go. I'll join you after this. I need to go to the toilet." She left and I bring the tray out.
"Have a drink, aunty." I filled a cup for her and put it in front of her. She didn't say anything but she just sipped on the drink. Okay, not a single thank you came out of her mouth. Wow. I took a sit opposite of her.
"How did you and Jungkook met?" She begins the conversation.
"Well, the first time was when we met at the bus stop because it was raining and his car was broken so, my brother and I sent him home. So, basically we met from the incident and became close after we work together at the flower shop." I answered. She listens and nodded.
"Are you really ready to bring your relationship to the next phase? I mean, the two of you are still young and you still have a lot of things to do, right?"
"We're still in the phase of knowing each other so, I think when we're ready, we'll proceed to the next phase." I replied. She seemed unconvinced by my answer but that's the thing we're doing now.
"Sorry for not joining the two of you, did I miss anything?" Omma finally joined us in the living room which makes me relieved.
"No, you didn't miss anything, Hyerin. I'm just talking to your daughter in law. She's fine. Your son chose the right one. I think she can handle Jungkook." Jungkook's aunty look at me and smiled. She just smiled at me so, does that mean she approves me to be with Jungkook?
"I told you, Chae. She's a good girl. You shouldn't be worried of Jungkook's choice. I know he'll pick the best for him." Omma looked at me with a motherly smile.
"Actually, Haeryung, I'm not really that bitchy, okay? I'm just testing you. I want to see how much patience and love you have for my Kookie because I also want the best for my nephew. I'm grateful he chose the right one for him so, you better take good care of him, okay?" She pointed her forefinger at me.
"I promise, aunty. I'm going to take care and love him whole heartedly." I pledged.
"Alright, I'll remember that but if you hurt him, I'll find you." She warned. I chuckled and nodded.
"Okay," I sipped on my drink and we continued to talk until we heard knockings on the door.
"Let me open the door." I stood up and opened the door. I was shocked. Junghyun and his wife came.
"Hi," I greeted them.
"Hi, Haeryung. I-I came here to apologise. Is my parents home?" Junghyun answered.
"Your father went fishing with the others but your mother's inside. Come in." I invited them in. He seemed hesitant to enter the house but his wife held his hand and reassured him so, they entered the house.
"Who's that, Haeryung?" Omma asked from the living room.
"Oh, uh..come on, she's calling." I quickly walked to the living room with them behind me. Then, omma turned her head to me and her face expression immediately change when she saw Junghyun and his wife.
"What a surprise, Junghyun. You finally came home. I thought you already forget where your home is." Aunty was the first one to speak.
"I came here with my wife to apologise." He speaks up and walked towards his mother. Mrs Jeon seems to be avoiding him and looked away from him.
"Omma,"
"Leave." Was the word that came out of Mrs Jeon's mouth.
"Omma, please." He pleaded and even hold her hands.
"I'm going to my room. If you need anything, just ask Haeryung." She removed his hands harsly and left us in the living room. Junghyun sighed in frustration.
"I'll make you some drinks." I went to the kitchen and made orange juice for them. I came back to the living room and serve the drinks.
"How dare you leave your parents here with your little brother when they need you the most, huh?" Aunty spoke to him and I don't know what to do so, I took a sit quite far from them and texted Jungkook.

I can't stop smiling whilst looking at our conversation. It makes my heart flutter.
"What's with the smile?" I looked up and it's Miss Bora.
"Miss Bora. Oh, it's nothing." I smiled shyly.
"Is it Jungkook?" She asked as she took a sit opposite of me.
"Well, yes. It's him and I'm sorry to ask but what are you doing here?" I answered.
"It's fine, Haeryung. Aunty wanted to talk to Junghyun so, she asked me to find you."
"Oh..."
"You remind me of the times when Junghyun would text me and I was like you. Smiling, while replying him. That feeling of texting the one you love, it's just wonderful. Especially when you're madly in love." She replied with a smile.
"Really?" She nodded.
"His texts always makes me happy."
"Can I ask you something, Miss Bora?"
"You don't have to be so formal, Haeryung. Just call me unnie."
"Okay, unnie."
"So, what's your question?" She asked me.
"I'm just curious but..how does it feel to be married?" She chuckled after listening to my question.
"Maybe I shouldn't ask." I scratch the back of my head because I feel shy.
"It's okay. Sooner or later you'll experience it too, Haeryung. For me, marriage is a wonderful journey. It's like Euphoria. You'll feel all the joy in this world just being with the one you love for the rest of your life but also, you need to remember that there will be times when your relationship is put into test. So, at that time you two need to solve it together and your relationship will be a wonderful one." Wow. The way she answered it was like listening to a relationship caunsellor. She sure has experience a lot.
"Wow, unnie. I feel like listening to a love guru right now." She laughed at my comment.
"I'm just talking based on my experience, Haeryung."
"I'll keep everything you said in mind."
"Haeryung! Bora! Come here." I heard aunty Chaelin's voice calling from the living room. We went out of the kitchen and walked to the living room.
"What is it, aunty?" I asked.
"Where's Jungkook?"
"Oh, he's still out fishing. Why?"
"Tell him to come home. We're having a family dinner tonight along with his brother here." She looked at Junghyun with a sharp look.
"Okay, I'll call him." I went outside and called him.
"Hey, baby. What's up?" He answered.
"Where are you?"
"I'm on my way home. Why?"
"Good because aunty is going to have a family dinner tonight. So, she wants you and the rest back home early."
"Hm..what's that dinner for?" He asked.
"I don't know but your brother will be joining us too." I answered.
"Oh..okay. We'll be there around 15 more minutes."
"Alright. Stay safe. Bye."
"Bye." I heaved a sigh of relief and entered the house. I only found aunty and Bora in the living room. Where's Junghyun?
"I've called Jungkook. He'll be here soon." I told aunty.
"Good. Now, the two of you help me cook. Come on." She stood up and went straight to the kitchen.
"Unnie, where's your husband?" I whispered to her.
"He's upstairs. With his mother."
"Oh.." I nodded and we helped aunty to cook for dinner tonight.
"We're home!" I heard Jungkook's voice from the living room and immediately turned my head to his direction.
"Your husband is home, Haeryung." Aunty teased which made me blush.
"Go, see your husband." Unnie added to tease me again.
"You too, unnie?"
"Go Haeryung. We can manage." Aunty interrupted.
"Fine. I'll go." I washed my hands and left.
"So, did you enjoy fishing?" I asked him as I saw him lying on the couch.
"Hey, how are you?" He immediately sat up and patted the seat next to him.
"I'm fine. Why are you asking?"
"I'm afraid you'll be eaten by my aunty. She's fierce like a tiger." He whispered which made me giggle.
"No, she's fine, Jungkook. Don't worry."
"Ah, my back aches."
"You must be standing for a long time." Then, he gave me a mischievous smile.
"Can you massage my back?" He wriggled his eyebrows. He's weird.
"No, take your shower first. You smell like a fish." I made a disgusted face which made him laugh and teased me even more by moving closer to me.
"Go. Take a shower." I pushed him away from me.
"Do you want to join me?" He smirked and I immediately shake my head.
"You dirty minded boy. Go and take your shower."
"I love you!" He yelled from upstairs. He's one of a kind.
