Jeongin POV:
"Guess what!?" "What?" "I'm in UK! I'm in Brighton idiots!" I was watching as Amber was on a call with her best friends from here, the ones who she was always messaging at the dorms or in the cafeteria when we weren't sitting with ITZY or when we took a break from practice. As far as I knew she was really really close to them and spent a lot of her teen years with them.
She had gotten ready to leave and meet her friends. "I'll be back by evening babe, enjoy with the guys!" She said as she wore her shoes and wore her jacket. "Call me when you reach the- where even are you going?" I asked her. "I'm going to a place we used to hang out a lot in. It's this park and it's beautiful. We were supposed to go to a tree house but it's too tiny for all 5 of us now." She explained. "Alright then, wherever you are going, call me when you reach alright? And call when you're coming back to the hotel." I said her. "Alright, I love you and bye!" she said and gave me a peck on the lips and then wearing a mask and running off.
I had no plans so I collapsed on the bed and started scrolling through social media. I started chatting with Beomgyu (TXT) because he was on break from dance practice. We were talking about the most random stuff and he was ranting about one of his member's, Yeonjun hyung, Changbin hyung's friend. Till I got a message from Amber's dad. He and I exchanged numbers in Seoul when they had visited but we never really messaged each other, it was like an emergency contact. So obviously when he messaged me I was freaking out, "Did I do something!?" I whisper-yelled at myself as lay on the bed munching on a bag of potato chips.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amber's dad
Hi there Jeongin, are you free today?
Me
Hello! Yeah I am free today till evening.
Amber's dad
Could we meet up for a coffee in a cafe in about 15 minutes?
Me
Of course! Where do you want to meet up?
Amber's dad
I know this cafe, it's called Meet to Eat. It's near my house.
Me
Alright, I'll be there!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did I do something? Is he going to kill me? He doesn't seem like that kind of man though...I guess. I got up and went to start cleaning up. I took a shower and started deciding an outfit. "Alright. It's her dad, I need to look presentable. Like a good kid. I am a good kid though. Eh,what about this? Oh no probably something tucked in. Ah ha! Gotcha!" I finally got an outfit that looked presentable enough for meeting her dad. I combed my hair quickly and did my usual hairstyle and obviously grabbed my jacket.
I left the hotel and started walking to the cafe. Our hotel was pretty close to her house so I reached there in about 5-8 minutes. I started looking around till I saw this board saying Meet to Eat and showing an arrow pointing to a small but comfy looking cafe with a sign over it also saying Meet and Eat so I walked there. I opened the door to the cafe and a bell above made a jingling sound. I looked around and saw him, "Hello, sorry I'm a bit late. I was trying to find the cafe." I said chuckling as I shook hands with him. "Oh it's alright! It's a new place for you, happened to me a lot in Seoul." he said and gestured to the seat. I sat down and he said, "You're probably wondering why I called you here. I just wanted to get to know you more, that's it. But before that do you want something to drink?" a waiter had just come up to us and took both of our orders.
"Tell me Jeongin, do you have any siblings?" he asked. "Yeah I do actually, 2 brothers. An older brother and a younger brother." "Where are you from?" he asked. "I'm from Busan. About 320-325 km from Seoul." "I see I see- ah here are the drinks!" he said as a waiter got the drinks in a tray.
We started talking about many things. "How old were you when you left to be a trainee?" "I was around 15 sir." I said. "Same as Amber I see. Want to go out and walk around a bit?" "Of course." I relied back with a smile.
We were at the counter to pay and that was when we both realized we both had the intention to pay. "Please sir, let me pay!" I whined as I put my card ahead but he pulled my hand back saying, "You save that money for something more useful. Let me pay for this! Please take my card and ignore his card please, thank you." The lady took his card and he paid. I put the card back away in my wallet.
We went out and I said, "You should've let me pay sir, I'll feel guilty now." I chuckled a bit. "Ahh, it's alright. I'm sure you'll live with it. And call me dad, you don't need to be so formal." When he said that, I can't say I wasn't shocked. I looked at him shocked but then looked down and smiled.
We walked around for a while longer till it was nearly time for me to leave for plans with Amber. We were in front of his house and he said, "Well son, I'll see you again sometime. Goodbye!" and he put his hand out for me to shake, I shook his hand with a smile. "I really enjoyed today. We should meet up again. Goodbye!" I said and then left.
I entered the hotel room and saw Amber sitting there. I closed the door and went up to her. She was sitting on a revolving chair working on her laptop, I hugged her from behind, "Hi~"I said to her and then gave her a kiss on her cheek. "Hi love, where were you?" "I was out with your dad, we were getting coffee." When she heard that she turned a bit to look at me. "I never expected my boyfriend and dad would become best friends." she said and chuckled. "Guess what he told me." "I don't know...tell me!" she said all excited. "He told me to call him dad and he called me son." I said with a smile. She suddenly got out of my grip and spun herself around to face me. "Seriously?!" I nodded and she jumped up off the chair and hugged me. I chuckled and hugged her back. "I feel like I'm over-reacting but it makes me so happy. It took my father a really long time to just get used to the fact I was friends with guys but him liking you, my boyfriend, has me thrilled!" "It makes me happy too." And then I kissed her, wrapping my hands around her waist, tight and leaning forward a bit, making her lean a bit back. I felt her hands holding onto my shoulders.
