Just a child (Jeongsung)

chapter 23

"Are you ready?" Jeongin asked a shaking Jisung. Jisung shook his head and Jeongin pulled him into a hug." I promise they're going to love you." Jeongin comforted Jisung.

Today Jeongin was going to introduce Jisung to his parents. Jisung was being anxious as a pregnant woman and his hands were sweating like crazy. Now they were standing in front of Jeongin's parents'house. Jeongin rang the bell and a faint come in was heard from inside.

"Hi mom." Jeongin greeted." You rebellious young man. Are you planning to die? Why do you never call?" Jeongin's mother started throwing slippers at him." What a warm welcome!" Jeongin exclaimed as he caught one slipper on it's way to his head.

If Jisung was nervous before, now he was terrified after seeing that encounter." Stop with your dramatics. You're only making him even more nervous." Jeongin hugged his mom.

Jisung just stayed there not knowing what to do." Let's go seat down first son." Jeongin's mother hugged and smiled at Jisung. Jisung returned both and nodded. One of the helpers was ordered to go and call Mr. Yang.

"There was no need to go all out." Jeongin looked at the amount of food that was in the table." Look who finally decided to remember his parents." Jeongin's father scoffed.' Great, now the father is going to reject me on first glance.' Jisung thought.

"I've been warning your wife about that and you're doing the same." Jeongin smiled. The father walked to the dining table with laughter and hugged Jeongin before doing the same with Jisung and sat down.

Everyone started digging into their food but Jisung couldn't find the appetite to eat. Jeongin's parents may have hugged him but how were they going to react when he revealed their relationship ?

Jeongin saw the hesitation and anxiety on Jisung's face and he just held his hand under the table to ease his worries for a second." Is the food not to your liking son?" Jeongin's mom asked and Jisung shook his head fast.

"No i-its very d-delicious." Jisung smiled at Mrs. Yang and the older reciprocated the smile. After what seemed like an eternity to Jisung everybody finished lunch and Mr. Yang asked Jeongin to introduce Jisung to them.

"Mom, Dad this is Jisung. My very cute boyfriend and Jisung as you can see these are my parents." Jisung blushed at the statement even though he was scared shitless right now.

"Welcome to the family son. We're pleased to meet you." Mr. Yang stood up and hugged Jisung one more time.'well that was nice, now I wait for the final verdict.' Jisung thought.

" Why didn't you tell us that it would be your boyfriend coming with you? I would've prepared the food myself." Jeongin's mother as always smacked Jeongin.' Are they always so violent?' Jisung thought. He smiled at Jeongin's mother as she hugged him too.

"Who knew you went for the shy and quiet types." Mrs. Yang laughed. Jisung's ears and cheeks were flaming while he was blushing furiously." Dad she's bullying me." Jeongin whined.

"So Jisung how did you meet my son?" Mr. Yang asked." W-well we know e-each other f-from pre-school. B-but we o-only met a-after a f-few years." Jisung whispered feeling very small. If he didn't like the way he stuttered then now he totally despised it.

At least Jeongin was there holding his hand. He smiled at the thought but quickly dismissed it when he heard the loud silence." Oh my!! You two are really in love. Honey, this is the boy Jeongin used to talk about! Do you remember?"Jeongin's mother squealed. Jisung blushed and hid his face in his hands.

"Calm down honey." Mr. Yang laughed at his wife's behavior." I remember him. Wow you've grown so much!" Jeongin's father exclaimed and everyone agreed."Son can we talk in the office. Please enjoy yourself Jisung. He'll be back shortly." Mr. Yang stood up and Jeongin followed suit to his father's office.
