"is everything done?", i ask lia and the other guys standing in front of me. we were at the restaurant that we rented for the evening and made sure the birthday balloons and decoration were all done.

"don't worry, everything's perfect. i think he'll be here in a few minutes", doyoung smiles sweetly.

"is he coming alone?", i ask them.

"well he thinks his parents are coming to pick him up to go out for dinner first and then meet us at the dorm later", junkyu laughs.

"guys i can see them parking their car!", junghwan shouts from the entrance.

we all get in our places and dim the lights.

a minute later we hear the door open, so we all jump up to surprise him.

"surprise!"

his eyes widened and he starts to laugh, "oh my god! what?"

the members and a few of his other friends that we invited, all walked over to congratulate him.

i was standing behind with lia.

"we should let them all talk first and then greet them right? or maybe we look rude standing here-"

lia puts her finger on my mouth, "shh. relax, kaia. don't overthink everything. let's just wait for jihoon to come over here and then greet him and his parents nicely."

i sigh and nod. i remember the first time i met jinyoungs parents. i was barely even nervous. look at me now, i'm freaking out.

"kaia! lia, hey guys!", i can see jihoon walk towards us.

"happy birthday, jihoon!", lia smiles and gives him a friendly hug.

"thank you. kaia," he turns to me, "are you okay? you look really pale and your hands are shaking."

he takes my hands into his and starts gently massaging them with his own, which surprisingly makes me feel less anxious.

"yeah, i just don't know how to act now. i don't want to be all over you in front of your parents that's why i tried to keep some distance."

he laughs and puts his hand over my shoulder, "you're doing great, babe. but they know we're dating so i think it's okay. also it makes me feel kind of sad if my own girlfriend doesn't want to be near me."

"jihoon, there you are", i hear a female voice behind me.

we turn around and he smiles immediately.

"oh mum, this is kaia", he points to my while still holding my hand.

"oh there she is. it's so nice to meet you", she reaches her hand out.

i gently shake her hand, trying not to let her feel me shaking like an idiot.

"it's my pleasure. i'm kaia, very nice to meet you mrs, park."

she chuckles and looks at jihoon, "she is just as cute as you told me she was."

"mum..", he looks away embarrassed which makes me smile a little.

this went a lot better than i thought it would, but my stupid ass forgot that i haven't met his dad yet.

as if he could hear my thoughts he appeared in front of me.

"who is this? is this the girl?", he asks with barely any emotion in his voice.

jihoon nods, "yes. this kaia, dad."
