❀ 3- The Promise

"Ah! Welcome to our home!"

My mother stood in the front as she greeted the mom and the dad of the new family. My father went ahead and hugged the dad, and I now truly believe that they were close friends from awhile back.

"Oh my... who is this girl here?" The mother greeted me, and I faked a smile and bowed. She gasped, and turned and looked at my mom. "I didn't know your daughter was so pretty!"

It sure felt nice to be complimented, and I couldn't help but feel the love.

"Thank you..." I say, bowing. She smiled warmly at me, and squeezed my hand.

"She is very kind, I could tell very well."

I'm kind? Let me just laugh at what she said at the,"I could tell very well" part.

"She is." My mom said shortly, while giving me this look and I made a face before turning back to smile at the lady who smiled back at me.

"Well my dear, you can call me Mrs. Kim. And your name?"

"Hyeri." I answered.

"That's a very lovely name." She commented.

"Well, I would like you to meet my son." She said, and moved out of the way to reveal him standing a little awkwardly near outside my door steps.

He looked up first at my parents and bowed, but when he looked up at me, his eyes widened a little, but he ducked a bow.

"Introduce yourself, honey." His mother said to him, and he walked inside the house.

"My name is Kim T-Taehyung." He stuttered a little.

I wanted to just roll my eyes, but my mother nudged my side.

"I heard that he was going to the same school as her." His mother said, and I looked at him, and he lowered his head. Did he tell his parents about me? Oh geez.

"Ah really?" My mother said in a surprised tone. "What year is your son in?"

"In year 3." His mother replied.

"My daughter is in year 3 too! Do you two share any classes?" My mother pointed at me, then to him. I shook my head no but he shook his head yes.

"Ah you do?" My mom said, a little confused.

I sighed, letting him answer. "Yes Mrs. Lee."

"My son is actually a year younger than his grade level." Mrs. Kim explained, and he touched rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly as his mother began to brag about him.

I watched him, and he met my eyes a couple times before he would look away, like he always did every single time. I smirked, and looked away.

Soon, my mother invited the family into the dining room where the food was already set. When Mrs. Kim came in, she smiled as she smelled the food.

"It smells so good in here! I'm excited for the food you have prepared for us."

"Yes! Thankfully, my daughter helped me prepare it." My mother said as she headed into the kitchen, leaving me, Mrs. Kim, my father and Mr. Kim, who were heavily engrossed in a conversation to notice we were about to sit down.

"Why don't you sit in front of each other? You know, to get to know each other better." Mrs. Kim said, and nudged him on the side.

I watched as he nodded, and walked to the other side of the table, and sat down in the chair directly in front of me.
