Chapter 25

Rose's POV


"Why are you here?" Jimin leans towards me and speaks lowly in my ear.


"I'm here to pick up my parents." I answer.


"Oh." He leans back. "Right."


"Why are you two here?" I ask them.


Jimin looks back at Jungkook, who looked a bit worried and confused.


I stand there, dumbfounded.


"Taehyung had studying to do after school, so we offered to pick up his parents for him." Jimin says.


Jungkook stiffly nods. "Y-Yeah. He had a lot of work. Such a hardworking man, he is! Yes, he is- ow!"


Jimin nudged his arm.


I tilt my head. "Okay..."


"Well, you don't know how happy I am that you all know each other." Aunt Yumi puts her arm around my shoulder and Jimin's. "Makes the process much easier, doesn't it?"


"This will be good. Do you know Kim Taehyung?" Uncle Kim asks me while patting Jungkook's shoulder.


I smile. "Yes, I do! He's actually my bo-"


Jimin starts screaming crazily and Jungkook starts coughing right as I was about to reveal him as my boyfriend.


"Are you sick?" Aunt Yumi cups Jimin's face and checks him like he was a little baby.


Uncle Kim backs away from Jungkook in a discust. "Bro, this sweater is new."


Jimin pouts while Aunt Yumi squished his cheeks.


"How about we get dinner together?" My dad suggests, moving this awkward scene along.


Everyone cheers in agreement, leaving me, Jimin, and Jungkook completely lost and surrounded by weird adults.


I look to Jimin and Jungkook.


"What was that about?" I whisper.


"It was nothing, I thought I saw a bee." Jimin answers.


"Oh."

Jimin's POV


"Taehyung." I whisper into my phone.


I check over my shoulder to make sure no one was paying attention me. Thankfully they're not because I look really suspicious right now.


"Taehyung!" I repeat a bit louder.


"I'm here, I'm here, I'm here." Taehyung's voice causes my phone to vibrate. I back away from the weird feeling on my ear.


"Everything alright over there?" Taehyung's mother asks from the table.


I give her a thumbs up and turn back to the phone.


"Not too loud, bro, the whole group is here. Rose, HER parents, Jungkook, YOUR parents. What took you so long?"


"What!? Rose?! Parents!?! Were they-"


"Dude, I couldn't believe it either. I don't know if I should be happy or not..."


"What are the chances?"


"I don't know!"


"I should be happy about that."


"She almost mentioned your relationship too."


It was quiet on the other side.


"What did you do?" His voice was low.


"I-I screamed."


"A-Are you crazy?"


"What? Jungkook coughed. If anything, you should be thanking me."


"Anything else would've been way smoother."


I make that TCH sound with my tongue. "It was quick thinking, Taehyung. I didn't know what else to do."


"Never mind that. Where are you now?"


"We're at this local dim sum place near the airport. We're just about to be finished, though."


"Ok, text me when you drop them off."


"Ok."


"Thank you, Jimin. Tell Jungkook I said thank you too."


"No problem, Tae, and will do."


"See you, Jimin."


Rose's POV


I help my parents out of the car and gathered their luggage.


"Thank you so much for the wonderful dinner." My mother hugs Aunt Yumi.


Aunt Yumi laughs. "No problem. Honey, did you pay?" She looks to her husband.


"No, I thought you did." Uncle Kim looks to my dad.


My dad shakes his head. "I didn't..."


Everyone stays quiet for awhile, while me, Jungkook, and Jimin look at each other, awkwardly.


I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that Taehyung's parents are now close with my parents.


I should be elated about this, but Jimin and Jungkook made it awkward for me to even look at them hug.


"I'm just joking. I paid!" Uncle Kim smacks my dad while laughing. "You should've seen your faces, aha!"


The parents decide to go inside our house to hang out more.


"What? No resting? You guys must be exhausted." I watched them in shock. "Mom, dad, you're not tired?"


"Honey, we're ok. Stay with Jimin and Jungkookie while we, adults, hang out. Have fun." My mom kisses my head and waves me goodbye.


The other parents already entered the home and my mom brought me closer.


"You like any of them?" My mom whispers in my ear. "Jimin or Jungkook?"


I shake my head. "No, mom! I have a bo-"


"Come on, ROSE! LET'S HANG OUT AND LEAVE THE ADULTS ALONE!" Jimin yelled, again, stopping me from exposing my boyfriend.


My mom winks at me before walking away.


Great, now my mom thinks I like Jimin or Jungkook...


Jimin's POV


This is so awkward.


Taehyung owes me big after this.


Yo! Rose is here with me right now
-Jimin


I urgently texted Taehyyng, while Jungkook was talking/distracting Rose. I turn around to check on them.


"No no, heh, pancake face is a face full of makeup!" Jungkook says to Rose. "To the point where you could see the powder."


"What? I can't believe you know that and I don't! I thought it had something to do with actual pancake batter..."


I turn back to my phone with my head shaking.


What do I do!?
-Jimin


"Do you put on makeup?" Rose asks. "Your face is flawless!"


"Psh, it's natural beauty." Jungkook brags with a smirk.


Taehyung!
-Jimin


Sry, sry I was in the bathroom
-Taehyungie💕


I don't know what to do!
-Jimin


Why is Rose there? What about her parents? What about mine?!
-Taehyungie💕


they're hanging out again
-Jimin

-Taehyungie💕


should we go to your house?
-Jimin


I guess
-Taehyungie💕


K, see you there
-Jimin


"Hey," I pat Jungkook's knee to get their attention. "We're going to Taehyung's house now."


Rose's face lights up. "Really?"


"Seatbelts!" I called and started the car.


"You sound like my mother!" Rose giggles.


"No, you sound like Seokjin." Jungkook laughs.
