There was a boy and a girl and their worlds collided

"Wanna bet he is gonna realize he loves her"

"No duh Jisung, it's a romance for a reason," Nora says and I roll my eyes.

We both sat on the couch, watching a movie. It was accidental. No, we didn't plan it out, which would be weird on either of our parts as we haven't done something like this in years.

I was on my phone when she came in with a blanket and snacks telling me to leave because she was binging movies and I told her no and she didn't argue back, leaving me be.

I tried for about thirty minutes to act uninterested but when the guy cheated on the girl, my attention was on the tv. I needed to know what happened next.

"It could be a love triangle and the director could introduce a second love interest" I shrug and she glares at me. "What? Anything is possible"

"No, I specifically watch romance movies that only have one love interest because I don't like my emotions played with"

I furrow my brows "That's unrealistic"

She crosses her arms and looks to the TV "I'm a hopeless romantic, couldn't you tell?"

"Is that a hidden talent?" I ask jokingly.

Nora grabbed the pillow and hit me with it, making me laugh loudly. Our laughter was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell.

I slowly look at Nora "If we were watching a horror movie I would be freaked right now"

"Be a man and open the door, It's getting late and dad ain't home"

I inhale and nod, getting up but before I can move anywhere my mom walks to the door and opens it.

"Hi? Are you here for Nora?" I heard her ask and I looked to Nora and she looked at me confused.

I walk to the door "No, Jisung actually. I'm Maya"

Maya comes into view as I step behind my mom. My mom looked back at me with a knowing look, making me clear my throat "Mom, this is Maya. My girlfriend"

⁺ 𓂋 𓈒

"And this is Jisung on his second birthday" I grab it out of Maya's hands.

"Okay, enough of the baby pictures" I hold it close to my chest and they all laugh, making me swallow harshly. I had never planned on Maya meeting my family, not this soon at least.

It all felt real, too real.

My mom's large smile and Nora teasing me, I loved and hated it at the same time. It just felt so fast but still, I put a smile on my face.

"Are you hungry?" My mom asks her and she quickly shakes her head.

"No, thank you I just had dinner before my dad left for London"

My mom nods "And your parents are?"

"My dad is the Mayor"

My mom's brows raised in surprise "Right, I knew you looked familiar. My son..." She looks at me and chuckles lowly "They know each other quite well"

"If you call having court because he said me and my friends ruin the city hall statue knowing each other well then yeah, we're buds" I said sarcastically.

"Jisung" My mom calls, giving me a look to shut up.

Maya chuckles "It's okay, I know how troublesome Jisung is, but he's a good guy and I see how much he's trying" Maya looks at me and gives me a soft smile.

"I don't know if I should be in awe or disgusted by this" Nora says, letting her inner hopeless romantic out—or whatever she said she was.

"This is it" I motion around my room as she steps inside. Her eyes wander "Not much" I chuckle nervously. We had finally escaped my mom and Nora, which was a big relief.

"It's so..." She sits on my bed "Boy"

I laughed "Is that a bad thing?"

She shrugs "No," She says simply before continuing "It has personality, it feels like you"

I looked around and I never thought much about it. It's been my room growing up. Not much changed. I still have the light grey walls, and most of my stuff was grey, like my sheets and my comforter which was a dark grey but the color came from the random posters on my walls or the action figures that I had and collected dust from when I was a kid. I never found it in me the get rid of them because the little kid in me had a personal attachment to them.

My desk wasn't clean but it wasn't dirty, random clutter filled the area. It just felt lived in, even though I don't remember the last time I stayed a full week in here—always escaping to Minho's. These walls witnessed so much of my life, the good and the bad and there was a point that I hated it. The feeling of my room—of this house. The dread I would feel just when I pulled into the driveway.

I sit beside her and look at her "Nobody outside of my family has seen my room, or even been in my house" I said "Beside Minho, and now you"

She smiles softly and grabs my hand "I hope I didn't intrude"

I shake my head "Never, I was surprised but I like that you're here" I shrug.

"I like seeing this side of you" She spoke softly "And I like to know that you have such a caring family by your side"

I swallow harshly "I do, don't I?"

She nods "They love you, I can see it"

I tuck her dark brown hair behind her ear as I look into her eyes "You really are beautiful" She looks at me shyly before pressing a kiss on my lips.
