Iris

Shit. That's what I'm in right now. I'm in deep shit.

I am still nailed into my spot, fake smiling in everyone's direction, posing for the thirsty paparazzi, dodging all of the questions that are being thrown my way, and trying to get myself out of this mess he just created.

While he has me positioned in front of him, locking me in his hold, granting everyone around us a marvelous view, and looking so chill like we do this all the time.

"How are we going to get out of the mess you just created?", I ask through my grin.

"We tell the truth", he answers. Like that's the obvious and right thing to do.

"What truth?", I clench my teeth with that stupid smile plastered on my face.

"That we love each other", he states.

Well, that's half the truth, it's a one-sided love. Mine.

"And exactly what part of the truth is that?", I giggle.

"Drop the act, baby. I know you love me", he smirks.

"I think you should see a doctor because your delusions are getting out of hand", I advise.

"The only one you're fooling here is yourself", he reasons. He's right though, that's exactly what I'm doing.

I cut our eye contact and glanced in our table's direction.

To say that Jungkook and Moni are astonished, would be an understatement. They're fucking mind-blown. Someone should close their jaws for them, better than hanging in the air like that.

However, Matteo seems unsatisfied. No, that's a wrong interpretation, he looks infuriated... Probably because I haven't told him about Taehyung and me. Well, guess what Matty? I didn't know either!

Finally, the person I dreaded his reaction the most, my father... But what I didn't expect, was to see my father relaxed. Happy even. He has one of his heart-warming genuine smiles drawn on his features.

He's okay with this? Really? Wow.

"Let's go. I don't want to keep my father-in-law waiting", he whispers.

Father-in-law, I scoff. Since when?

We march our way to our table and despite my shaken state, I confidently stride to what might be my hell or worse, I have no idea.

I hope this goes well.

"Why haven't you told me about your involvement with this young man before, Iris?", my father questions.

Trust me Dad, you don't want to know what type of involvement we had.

"I... I haven't-"

"Mr. Malik", Taehyung attracts my father's attention, "Iris must have forgotten to mention our relationship before. You know, she was preoccupied with a lot of matters to handle and I preferred to meet you and tell you about us in person."
