Jimin’s POV

"Honey, look who's home with me!" letting myself get dragged by the forearm into the house of Jeon, I was pulled into what it seemed like a reading room and stood in front of Mr. Jeon the next second.

Looking at the lady who was the mother of my boyfriend at the moment, she was exactly how I imagined her to be when I heard her talking to Jungkook on the phone before.

"Jimin?" the man called, and I was surprised he knew my name in an instant, like he had already knew me.

Well, I guessed he had learned my name after knowing my face from the photo Jungkook sent them.

"Uh, hello Mr. Jeon" bowing a little to the older male, I admitted that Jungkook really got the looks from his parents.

They were a pair of beauty.

"I'm glad to see you, son. Come, have a seat," he stood up to greet me and pulled me into a brief hug, and I felt welcomed at the auras both alphas were emitting.

"Thank you, sir" taking a seat beside the alpha lady as she pulled me to sit by her, my hands were patted soft as Mrs. Jeon tilt her face to look into my eyes.

"Oh, come on sweetie. Just call us auntie and uncle," she smiled bright looking softer and prettier not looking like her age at all, and I felt my breathing a little calmer than before.

I can't help feeling nervous in front of people I just met after all.

"Okay, auntie" smiling back to the lady, I was amazed at their humble attitude even how well known they were in town.

"Good! Now, what would you like to drink? Coffee? Tea? Hot chocolate?" she asked.

"Coffee would be great,"

"Alright, I make great coffees. I'll come back in a second," she stood up to leave and I was surprised.

"O-Oh, I'll help" not expecting the lady of the house to go make the drink herself, I wanted to follow her but was pushed to sit down again.

"It's okay, sweetheart. Just have a talk with uncle and relax. It won't be long before Jungkook comes," she smiled, and her reply made me curious.

"Jungkook's coming as well?"

"That boy rarely comes home now, so I'm kind of using you as a bait to make him to. He saw me kidnapping you at the front gate and he had already texted me a bunch of threats, so it won't be long before he arrives" she giggled happily showing me her phone, and I smiled guiltily at her.

"I'm sorry,"

"No, don't worry. That's just how he is. A possessive bunny. I'll be back, okay? Get along with uncle," she went out of the room in lightning speed and close the door behind her, making the room quiet all of a sudden.

Feeling my heart thumped a little faster as the nervousness increased again after being left alone with Jungkook's father, I didn't know what to say until Mr. Jeon started the conversation first.

"How's your day, Jimin?"

"It's good. We're close to exam week now so there are less classes held these days. Jungkook had been a great help to me in understanding the subject we're taking this semester," telling with a smile about his son, I didn't expect the middle-aged man to widened his eyes.

"He helped?" he seemed genuinely surprised, and I just nodded.

"Yes, he even gave me some of his books on the subjects he had taken from previous semesters," adding to what Jungkook had done to me to help me study, Mr. Jeon was in deep thoughts for a second before we met eyes.

"Jungkook has never been someone who'd share his things with others. You're special to him," he looked pleased as he looked at me, and I felt shy hearing the words.

"I just started being close to him and Jungkook's always like that. He's always giving me his things so I thought he's like that with everyone," fiddling with my fingers on my lap, I gave my attention to Mr. Jeon when he talked more.

"No, the boy's possessive, or too overprotective of his things even from us. He's determination is out of this world too. He'd do everything to get what he wanted. There's one time when he was so fixed on taming a stray cat, he would always come home with muds and scratches for days, wanting to bring the cat home," he smiled wide telling the past, and I could see how precious the memory was to him.

"Did he succeed?" asking as I imagined small Jungkook coming back home all dirty and injured, I could almost imagine his determined face in my mind.

I'd ask to see his childhood photos later if things went well.

"Only after a whole week passed, and it was a very beautiful calico cat," the father smiled proud, remembering his one and only son's behavior.

"Is the cat still here?" I blurted out without thinking far, and regretted it soon after.

"No, Kitty passed away two years after we adopted her, due to old age. She's already quite old when Jungkook brought her home," the man told, and I felt my heart dropped at the news.

"Oh my, I'm sorry for that" quickly apologizing for asking without thinking, Mr Jeon just smiled kindly, shaking his head soft.

"It's what life is, son. By the way, I'm glad that Jungkook could finally get close to you now. Thank you for not pushing him away even after what he did to you," he thanked, and I just shook my head, not minding the son's past behavior at all.

"I understand why he did that, and he had explained everything to me. I also heard about what you did for our school, and I was so shocked to hear from Jungkook about what happened to him," I expressed my feelings about the school's wrongdoings, and Mr. Jeon just smiled with a little frown on his forehead.

"It's been like that since a long time. We've told Jungkook to transfer school, but he didn't want to, because you're there" he told, his frown eased up shortly after mentioning me, and I just smiled small, not really knowing how to reply to that.

"Jungkook might be a bit too clingy since he was always being pampered by me and your auntie since he was a baby, but please bear with him as long as your heart wants. We'd be very thankful for that," he added, and I was about to nod and gave him my word.

Only if Jungkook hadn't burst through the door and snatched me away.
