We had started dinner as soon as Yejin and Seren had arrived.

It was a wonderful mix of American and Korean traditions.

Every classic Thanksgiving dish was here: the roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green beans...

"Sweet potatoes and ...marshmallows?" Seren, the half-British, half-Korean producer, frowned at the dish in front of her.

"It's a family recipe!" my mother smiled, placing a spoonful of it on her plate. "Try it!"

Seren tasted it, and her eyes widened with surprise.

"Delichious!"

I was thrilled to have them interact since my mother couldn't understand much of the Korean that was already going around the table.

"I'm sending pictures to Yoongi-hyung!" Hoseok mischievously smiled, snapping shots of the wide plates of food.

"You're too cruel!" Jin hit him in the back, laughing like a whale. "He's gonna cry alone with his hospital food!"

The table was also filled with Korean side dishes like kimchi, chili paste, grilled vegetables, spicy tofu... Both of the best worlds were collapsing together.

We even had dumplings from Dohyun's halmeoni.

"Is that what I think it is?" Yejin brightly smiled, pointing at the familiar plate in front of her before looking at Dohyun.

This one nodded with a chuckle.

Jungkook glanced in their direction before looking down at his plate, hiding a small smile between his lips.

Weird.

Taehyung's mother made a small sign to tell me we could bring the desserts. I was about to get up when I remembered a little activity I wanted to offer my guests.

"Your attention, please!"

Sitting in front of me, Taehyung tapped his knife against his champagne flute, calling for everybody's attention around the table.

"First, I just wanted to thank you all for coming tonight," I spoke with a gigantic smile on my face. "It's so special for me to have all the people I love the most around the table..." I glanced down at my mother, sitting down next to me with a smile.

I was talking and translating in English at the same time for her to understand.

Everybody around the table was giving me back smiles as huge as mine. My heart felt so full of happiness, I could have cried.

"These last weeks had been such a bliss..." I reached for my glass of white wine, raising it for the handsome man in front of me. "Thanks to the most perfect boyfriend ever..."

Taehyung shyly smiled, his head falling before giving a big boxy smile to the guests around the table.

Some of them had started to slightly clap, encouraged by the cheerful atmosphere of the room.
