Come and Get It, GOT7 Imagines.

Miscommunication

It was a Saturday evening, but not a normal one. It's one of those rare days where you can spend quality time with your forever-busy boyfriend, who also happens to be a K-pop idol, Jackson Wang. He has just returned to Korea after a tour whereas you are working in the country, leaving your homeland in the bottom hemisphere of Earth.

You are so preoccupied with applying your make-up in front of the dresser that you didn't notice him sneaking into your room. Slowly and quietly, he creeps behind you and extends his strong arms around your waist.

"Oh babi!" You accidentally cursed and jumped in your spot, stepping on his right foot at it.

"When did you get in here?!" You ask in a daze as you try to wipe off the little smudge from your mascara. However, Jackson pays little attention to your question.

"What's babi? That's the first time I've heard you say that." He asks while rubbing his sore foot.

"Err... It's nothing. Anyway, where are we going again?" You try to diverge his attention to avoid him from peering more into the new word he just heard. But of course, that is only intriguing the Wang puppy more than ever.

"A~~~ Don't change the topic. What's babi? Is it a Malay word? What does it mean? Sounds cute though. Babi babi babi~~~"

He continues to sing the word in a playful tune, oblivious to the meaning that two-syllable word brings. You want to straight up tell him to stop, because that's a word you wouldn't want anyone to hear. However, along the way, you'll have to admit your ugly side; swearing. You don't want to stain that good girl image you always have in front of Jackson. And so, you decide to keep quiet and let him use the word unknowingly. After all, Koreans won't understand it anyway. It's a win-win situation. Or so you thought.

"Babi!" Jackson suddenly exclaims in the car as you two are on your way to your date spot. Your eyes go wide and you stare at him in disbelief. Then you realise he doesn't know the meaning of it. You know he doesn't mean it, but being swear at by your own boyfriend does twitch a nerve in you.

"Jackson, God forbid you to call anyone else with that word, you hear me?" You warn him before he starts running around addressing half of the population with his new favourite word.

"Of course I won't! It's especially reserved for my beloved! Babi! That's a cute nickname, eh? I'm actually very interested in Malay language now, so you should teach me. What more cute words are you still refraining from me?" The eyes of Wang puppy glisten with pure curiosity. At this point, you're feeling a mix of emotions.

Your boyfriend is truly eager to learn your mother tongue, but also not to forget that he has basically just given you an offensive nickname. Should you tell him the truth before he ruins his image as an idol, or simply assume he won't get in trouble for it? Decisions, decisions.

******

It's been exactly a week since you have last seen the hyperactive Jackson Wang. It also marks one week since a new word enters your boyfriend's vocabulary, which he is actively utilising as much as he can. Every single text would mention the B-word. Every call you answer, he'll greet with the said word. You can't understand his obsession with that one particular word, no matter how much he claims that 'it's a cute word'.
