Falling Into Your Smile [JIKOOK AU] ✓

Drunk 🎮

"Wait for me, Jungkook! Why do you have long legs? Eh? Why are you all standing there—Mom?! Dad?!"

Although Jimin knew that his parents came by, he didn't expect that they're still here.

"I texted you earlier. Why are you still surprised, son? Let's have a serious talk in your room. Don't worry. We're not going to stay longer."

Jimin keeps on hiccuping and looking at his team members, embarrassed and shy.

When they arrived in Jimin's room, Jimin prepared tea for his parents.

"I thought you're here to play some sports? What did you promise when you left? Did you say this is a decent job? Look at you now, so drunk and wasted." Mrs. Park said.

"Mom, we're celebrating, and yes, this is a decent job! Look, I'm happy here. I'm so glad because the members are taking care of me, mostly the captain." Jimin explained, but still drunk and tipsy.

"What's your relationship with that Chessman?" Mrs. Park asked.

"We're just friends and teammates, Mom. Nothing more, nothing less." Jimin smiled at her.

Mrs. Park hit his arms that made Jimin hissed from pain. "Don't lie to me. When I saw you and Chessman earlier, it felt like something was going on between you and him. Your father would also say the same—okay, but where did that idiot go?"

Jimin pouted. "Mom, dad is downstairs. My teammates are entertaining him. I like dad better because he understands me, but you? You're always nagging me."

Jimin sighed. "I know you're worried about me. But I've been well here. I wasn't quite used to all of this initially, but I want to become a professional esports player. You don't have to read and believe anything on that fan page. These are the things that I have to overcome."

Mrs. Park sighed. "Let me find you another job—"

"Mom, I know you're doing it for my good. But if you want me to intern at the place you arranged for me, do a job I don't like, marry someone I neither like, nor hate, and live on until I retire. By the time I pass away, this will be on my epitaph, 'this was an ordinary person who lived a peaceful and ordinary life, but he was never happy.' Do you want that, mom?" Jimin said.

"I'm an adult now, so I'm not fooling around. I am serious about this industry, and I told you that I would prove it to all of you. I will be able to stand on stage and hold the trophy for the champion." Jimin excitedly said.

Mrs. Park laughed. "A champion? Nice dream."

"Why are you laughing? I'm sure we're going to be the champion in the National League!"

"Alright, alright. We're going to look forward to it. Now, go and take a rest. We will go now."

"Okay, mom—"

"But, wait before I go. Does that Chessman have feelings for you?"

"Mom! Stop it!"
