Jagiya.. // Moonjo x Jongwoo

Chapter 16: Boyfriends?

Jongwoo's POV

It was around 1:30 AM and I am lying in Moonjo's arm, his arms holding me close. I've been thinking about what Moonjo had said and had promised. I've came to the term that I couldn't kill Moonjo, never. He's the only person who understands me, loves me unconditionally even though he's crazy but so am I.

I shook off my thought and snuggled into Moonjo's chest more, feeling his warmth in my face as he tightened his grip around me. I feel really safe and secured in his arm, being with Moonjo cleared away my worries. I closed my eyes, attempting to sleep.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Moonjo pulled up to my mother's driveway as I unbuckled my seat. "I'll be right behind you babe" "Okay" He smiled as he leaned over to the passenger seat and quickly kissed me. I didn't tell my mom that I—I mean—we are visiting so this will be a surprise.

We got out of the car as I made my way to the front door. Suddenly I felt nervous, I haven't call or text my mom in so long, she didn't even know what had happened to me and my stay in the hospital. Moonjo squeezed my shoulder gently to calm me and I took a deep breath.

I knocked on the front door, waiting impatiently. "Coming!!" The voice of my mom now was clearer. "Yeol! Did you invite your friends over without telling me?! Ish!" I started to tear up, I missed hearing that name, the scolding tone, the voice.

The front door opened revealing my mother in front of it. "Ahh—hello—" she stopped talking as soon as she saw who was knocking on her front door.  "Jongwoo?" My mom held a hand up to her mouth and started to cry. She hugged me and I hugged back. "Eomma!" I cried into her shoulder. She pulled away to look at me,  smile plastered on her face. "Aigoo! My baby is home! Yeol! Your brother is home!" "What?!" I heard Yeol screamed as I heard more footsteps running towards the door and I saw Yeol.

"Hyung!" Yeol said as he rushed to hugged me and I hugged back. "I can't believe I also missed you, trouble" "I missed you too" he replied. The time in Eden made me appreciate my family more than anything. We broke the hugged and I turned around and saw Moonjo looking at me lovingly, smiling.

"Ah.. I should go-" I interrupted Moonjo by rushing to hugged him, burying my face in his chest as he stood stunned but eventually hugged me back. "Thank you..thank you for bringing me here" I felt Moonjo gazed on me as I imagined him smiling at me. Moonjo stroked my hair gently, "anything for you" I broke the hugged as I dragged Moonjo to meet my family.

"Eomma, Yeol, this is Moonjo. He's my... boyfriend" I hesitantly said the last sentence as we never really confirmed it but it just felt right to say it. Moonjo suddenly whipped his head to look at me immediately, a shocked expression on his face but smiled and turned back to my mom and brother who also have shocked expression on their faces.

"Oh, annyeonghaseyo I'm Seo Moonjo" he said as he bowed at my mom and my brother to show respect. "Oh wow he's hot" Yeol said as he turned to look at me at winked. I rolled my eyes at him and my mom smiled at Moonjo. I was pretty nervous about how I introduced Moonjo to my family because not only did I brought my 'significant other' to my house, but I also came out. I was scared at how they would react but luckily, they both accepted me.

"Oh! Look at me, it's blazing hot outside please come in both of you! I need to catch up and definitely get to know you better!" She said as she looked at Moonjo when she said the last thing.

"Boyfriends huh?" Moonjo said smirking after my mom and brother went in. "Shut up" I rolled my eyes at him as he chuckled.

We entered my house and we all took a seat. "Oh wait! Let me get you guys tea. It must have been a long drive" My mom said. "Oh let me help you!" Moonjo quickly rushed to help my mom.

"He's good huh?" My brother who sat across from me teased as I glared at him. If only he knows. "So tell me, why did you choose him? Is he loaded?" I felt myself getting angry as he made those assumptions about me. "Seriously Yeol? Is this what you think of me?!" I slightly raised my voice at him as he put his hand up in surrender.

"Right! I'm sorry. I'm sorry" I sighed as I shrugged him off. "Well?" "Well what?" "Why do you date him" "I mean.. he's really nice. He's gentle, he's caring, he's understanding. He's a good listener, way better than Ji Eun. He's also handsome as well.." I said as he nodded. Suddenly my mom came back.

"Eomma, where's Moonjo?" "Ah..that young man is making us tea. He didn't want to stop me from meeting you. What a lovely man!" My mom praised Moonjo.

We began talking for awhile, her asking about my health and stuff and we caught on pretty fast. Moonjo got back, holding a tray of tea cups and hot tea pot in his hand. He set the tray down and poured tea for all of us then took a seat.

"Young man! You must be exhausted. I assumed you're the one driving? Jongwoo still can't drive." My mom laughed as Moonjo just smiled and nodded. It's impressive how he is able to act like that, is it even acting or is it his other personality, the good side of him?

"So tell me about yourself!" "Ahh.. my name is Moonjo but I've already told you that, I'm 34 years old and I'm a dentist" Moonjo answered politely. "Oh! You're 34? Oh my! I would've never guessed it because you are so handsome." My mom said chuckling as Moonjo just smiled again.

"Oh right! What about your job Jongwoo?" "Oh Uhm.." I hesitated. "Is everything okay?" My mom asked. "I don't have a job.." I said quietly.

"What?!" Both my mom and brother asked at the same time. "The thing is my boss is dead so the company shut down. I'm still trying to find a job.." I said silently. "So how are you getting the money to pay for Yeol's treatment?! I thought you found a job when you told me to stop sending you money?" "That would be me, I asked him to live with me. It can get really lonely in a mansion." "MANSION?!" Both of them said in sync again.

Oh gee.. this will be a long talk.
