THE KIMS

A day at Kim's (part-2)

After everyone left for the day, Mrs. Kim's friends arrived for the tea party she hosted for the week.

"Hello, Mrs. Kim, how are you?" Mrs. Cha greeted warmly.

"I'm good, thank you. And how is Sajin doing?" Mrs. Kim inquired with genuine interest.

"He is good, and I wanted to tell you all some good news! I'm going to be a grandma!" Mrs. Cha announced, her face glowing with joy.

Congratulations filled the room as everyone shared in Mrs. Cha's happiness.

"Oh, Mrs. Kim, aren't Jin and Yoongi married for almost 2 years now? Any good news?" Mrs. Kang asked, her curiosity piqued.

Mrs. Kim's smile remained gentle as she replied, "Not yet. They are still young, and it's not like I'm getting old. They will have children when they feel ready. I don't want them to feel pressured. I want them to do it together, not because of anyone else's wish."
As Mrs. Kim's words settled over the group, a thoughtful silence ensued, each woman reflecting on the wisdom shared. Yoongi, descending the stairs, overheard the conversation and couldn't help but smile to himself as he approached the gathering.

"Hello, ladies, how are you all this fine morning?" Yoongi greeted warmly as he settled beside his mother-in-law. "Do try the cookies; I personally made them yesterday. They're my latest recipe, which I'll be featuring on my next show."

With eager anticipation, the ladies sampled the cookies, their praises filling the air.

"These are really delicious, Yoongi. Can I have some for Sajin?" Mrs. Cha requested with a smile.

"Of course, Auntie," Yoongi replied graciously.

"My Lijin also makes these types of cookies, yours are also great," Mrs. Song added, impressed by Yoongi's culinary skills.

"Thank you, Auntie. I would love to get the recipe from Lijin," Yoongi responded with a sweet smile.

Mrs. Song hesitated for a moment before replying, "I can ask him to share it with you."

With the gossip and tea party coming to an end, Mrs. Jung announced her plans for the following day, making a reservation for Namjoon and Hoseok at Omela restaurant.

"I have made a reservation for Namjoon and Hoseok at Omela restaurant by 6 tomorrow. Inform Namjoon about it," Mrs. Jung said with a smile before taking her leave.

Mrs. Kim bid farewell to her friends before promptly calling Namjoon to inform him about the dinner reservation, ensuring that her son's plans were in order.

*In Kim's Corp*

As Namjoon spoke on the phone with his mother, confirming the dinner plans for the following evening, a sense of apprehension gnawed at him.

"Yes, Mom, I'll be there," Namjoon affirmed, his tone weary. "By 6, got it. Okay, okay."

Sighing deeply, he couldn't shake the feeling of unease that accompanied the prospect of his impending dinner with Hoseok.

"It really does feel weird marrying my childhood best friend, whom I haven't seen in almost 7 or 8 years," Namjoon muttered to himself, his thoughts consumed by nostalgia and uncertainty.

Suddenly, the cabin door burst open with a bang, startling Namjoon out of his reverie. He looked up to see Taehyung standing in the doorway, a look of urgency etched on his face.
