Destined

Things I do

Taehyung's PoV

The fact that Kookie and I cannot say 'no' to each other most times, and the fact that we end up thinking on the same lines doesn't help me at all when my brain and heart are at war. It's unfair, because one of the sides always has two people supporting it. Either Kookie sides with my brain, or with my heart. Needless to say, I always side with Kookie. SIGH!

This is why Jiminah says I am hopeless. I agree. But don't tell him. He's anyway been teasing us to death every chance he gets.

So this time, Kookie sided with my heart, and off we were to the Kim residence in Daegu to tackle my mad family (where do you think I get my quirks from?)

"Omma, Jungkookie and I are coming down for lunch"

All our lunches seem to be taking the brunt.

"Wow! To what do we owe the honour of the visit of two superstars together?"

"Omma, not again!"

"It's true though"

"We'll be there in about four hours"

"It takes only 90 minutes from Busan, though"

"How do YOU know where I'm coming from?"

"Mothers of the, what do they call you, OT7...yeah, mothers of the OT7 are closer than you think, son"

"How come none of us know about this?"

"Why don't we have this conversation when you're here? You're coming here only, right?"

Aren't children the ones who usually say this? Aah well. I got my sassiness from my mom, I guess!

"We'll be having breakfast with the Jeons and then leave, so we'll take some time."

"Aah okay, got it. It's good in a way, I get more time to cook"

"See you soon Omma!"

"See you, and I love you both!"

Kookie isn't as nervous as I was. Because he's the Golden Maknae. He's the best at everything. Even at being a boyfriend. Even at meeting the parents of your boyfriend. But I am nervous. Very.

My family is the loving kind. I am very close to them. I do not want to have to choose between them and Jungkookie. Because it's impossible to choose between family and family. It's not even a choice. So yeah, I'm freaking out. As usual.

Jungkook's mom saw us off with the same mischievous smile playing on her face. I didn't get it. As usual.

As we get close to my place, my hands start getting clammier, my brain goes into overdrive, and my heart starts beating out of my chest. Shit, this was a stupid idea. I should remember to never let Kookie talk me into things like this. Who am I kidding? I will walk into fire if Kookie asks me to. He won't. But if he ever does, I will walk. Gladly.

Mom throws her arms around me as soon as she opens the door. And then she attacks Kookie. I swear she hugs him longer, with more love. Whose mother is this woman?

"Jungkook is my boyfriend."

Who said that? Who?

Shit.

I did.

WTF Kim Taehyung! What behaviour is this? Why isn't the ground swallowing me whole?

Kookie's eyes are getting bigger and bigger, till they turn extremely shy. My mom is looking at me like she has never seen me before.

I need an invisibility cloak. Right now!

I think I am going to really faint today. Really. No one can stop me. In just another few seconds I will lose my senses. Wait, I guess I already have. That's why I have no fucking control over my tongue.

"Kim Taehyung! What did you just say?"

Oh no.

"Omma"

"Nope. Just repeat yourself. Say exactly what you said"

"Jungkook is my boyfriend."

I can't recognise my voice.

"Hey Mr. Kim senior and Mr. Kim juniormost, you two owe 50000 won to the two intelligent women in the house. Come on, get your wallets out! Come on, come on. I always knew the women of this house are waaaaay more intelligent than the men. Hah!"

Sorry, what?

"Come on in Taehyungah. You made me richer by 25000 won today. Come I will feed you an amazing lunch!"

I am so confused. Yet again. What is happening here?

I look at Kookie who looks... amused?

Wake me up, someone. I am in some alternate universe!
