"She wants to m-meet my family?" You choked out, accidentally dropping your utensils against the counter as it makes a clattering noise.
You both jump in unison, and Namjoon looks over at you with his brows drawn together. "What's the matter?"
You gulped, unable to think rationally. What the hell were you supposed to say? That you had doubts about the idea of your family meeting his? Of course, you weren't going to tell him the reason why you were opposed to this.
"And I take it you're not quite happy with the idea," He comments, sounding a bit dejected with your reaction. He didn't expect your reaction to being like this - he at least thought you'd be happy with the idea.
"I, uh...that's not it, sir," you swallow awkwardly, not wanting to ruin his mood so early in the morning. "But, may I ask why?"
He raises his brows, confused as to why you were making a big deal out of this. It was just a simple question. "Because it's her birthday?"
"—But I've always attended her birthday every year without my family." You don't understand why they suddenly want to meet your family now.
Namjoon drops his fork down and turns his stool to face you entirely. "Hmm, do you not want to?"
"No, no it's not that," you grimaced. "It's just..."
"Just what?"
"Don't you think it's a bit odd?"
'Odd? Where did this come from?' Namjoon wondered to himself.
"No, I don't Y/N," Namjoon sighed. "It's not odd at all. Mom just wants to finally meet your family. And... I do too," he whispered, raking his hair back.
Your heart sinks at that. You were aware of your family's opinion on your boss - like they weren't a fan of Namjoon when he was brought up during conversations.
Of course, these weren't valid reasons to dislike your boss, but seeing him in the media changed their perception of him as cold, heartless, and a self-centered, stuck-up human being that only cared about himself. And that was far from the truth.
But maybe this was a chance for them to see Namjoon as he is with you. Get to know him in the same way you've gotten to know him over the years - without judgment - and that he was nothing like how the tabloids and headlines made him out to be.
The cogs in your head start to rotate. Your heart slowly warms, your brown eyes and the hard exterior of your expression slowly soften with realization as you look up at his almond-shaped eyes. The sharp edge of his eyelids curve downward as if he was regretting the question, but he hides his emotions well.
