"What would you like to order?" Mingyu asks gently, raising his eyebrows at Aera. The woman shook her head at response while pointing towards the glass of water infront of her "That's enough"

Mingyu nods and side glances at the waiter, "Just one latte for me" The man gives his order, making the young waiter bow with a polite smile before he leaves.

"Did you talked to Jungkook about it?" Mingyu suddenly questions the woman sitting infront of him, leaning ahead to join his hands on the table.

Aera shook her head with a straight face "He won't agree" She began while playing with her fingers, "And under which circumstances he's in right now he cannot think about marriage. But I know that this marriage will protect him"

Minyu nods understandingly, placing his fist beneath his chin "You are right but —I have to speak with my mother first. She's very liberal minded but she's also the part of this society in which we live. And what people think will obviously affect her mind to some extent. Also this case and your family is very controversial. I talked to my mother regarding to this before as well. Infact I took Jungkook to my home only to get rejected later because you all wanted him to marry your son. Now again, convincing her would be a big hassle. She's my mother so she will obviously listen to me at the end but before anything, do me a favour, let me speak to Jungkook because his will matters the most"

Aera sighs, pursing her lips "He doesn't have his phone right now and I don't think he will meet you outside. I guess I will manage to make you two speak on my phone"

Mingyu hums, acknowledging the suggestion "I will wait"

"Oh you're here" Aera mumbles, walking inside her son's study room. She placed a cup of tea infront of the mahogany table while sitting onto one of the comfort chairs placed beside book shelf.

Taehyung pinches his eyebrows, proceeding to close his laptop, interlocking his hands as he looks at his mother through his glasses lens.

"What did he say?" The man asks in a deep tone, adjusting his glasses on his nose bridge.

Aera hums, gulping down her lavender tea. "Mingyu?" She asks, getting a sharp nod of head in return. Her lips curved upwards gently before speaking "He's a very nice boy. I was happy to meet him. He seemed decent and is a only child as well. Besides, Jungkookie has met his mother before. There shouldn't be any problem except the murder case on Jungkook"

Taehyung clears his throat, narrowing his eyes a little before swirling his tongue inside his cheek. "Why?" The man starts, half bothered, half irritated "If Mingyu truly loves him then there shouldn't be any problem"

Aera blinks his eyelashes at him, shaking her head slowly while a sad smile occurred on her perfect lips "True love is the one which faces every problem. Fake love doesn't"
