"Joon's Dia"

(Chapter 28: Home1)

We left Namjoon's hotel room walking hand in hand and talking about so many things. He told me about his home, his family and his friends. We were definitely friends and most definitely potential lovers. The girlfriend status was just simply a title. I was just loving the fact that we were getting closer and closer to knowing and loving each other.

.

We sat in my car and I turned on the ignition. I looked at him and asked, "Where to?"

.

He smiled at me and surprised me, "Let's go home by your mom and have lunch." It was actually 1pm but knowing my family there would still be a big spread on the table and when he found out that I helped cook too he was even more willing to go so I took him to meet my family.

.

Oh boy! It was almost as though they were waiting for the King of England. As soon as my car pulled up, Anni came out to greet us. "Mommy!"

.

I smiled, "Wow. What a greeting. Seems as though you're extra thrilled to see me. Or are you excited about someone else?" I chuckled and I heard Joon laughing a bit too. When I looked at him, his dimples were deep and I wanted to badly to touch his face but I held back. He saw the look in my eyes and bending lower to my ear he whispered,

.

"Later..."

.

I blushed as I hugged my little one whom I had to re-introduce to Namjoon. She was very lady-like and held his hand to welcome him into my mother's home. Everyone was sitting and chatting as they normally would. They were also still dressed in their funeral clothing. Namjoon also still wore the pants and shirt from his suit but left the jacket back at his room. He looked so dreamy and I could see the cloudy looks in my mother and sisters eyes as I introduced him.

.

"Everyone, this is my good friend Namjoon and yes, he is the leader of BTS, RM." I put it out there at the very beginning. That was the plan we decided to stick with when we were driving on our way. We decided to just tell them that we were great friends and let them know who he was. That way they wouldn't be secretly wondering or ask any untoward questions. I heard a few squeals and of course I heard a few of them whispering wondering if we were together. Then of course came the question of how we met. Namjoon answered,

.

"We met in Brazil. Dia came to see my show and actually helped us out when one of the artists who was supposed to perform with me tested positive for COVID 19. Dia filled in for her and she was phenomenal. The crowd loved her."

.

"What about you? Do you love her?" Anita was totally a romantic. I tried to shush her but she only giggled. "We saw you guys kissing at the church."

.

I looked down at her and played along with her, "Oh really? Are you sure that's what you saw?"

.

"Yes!" my brothers replied in unison and I saw the serious looks on their faces.

.

I fumbled a bit and then said, "Well sometimes it's just for show: fan service."

.

Namjoon cleared his throat and went up to my brothers, "And sometimes it's not. I do love your sister. She's truly a great friend and has helped me out in ways that I could never imagine." And he bowed at them. They just stood watching him in silence. God, they were impossible. I went over to Namjoon's side,
