Law Of Love

3) Meeting the Family

"TAEHYUNG." Both Jungkook and Taehyung flinched by the sudden yell and immediately put some distance between each other as they looked at the person who interrupted them.

"Taehyung-ie, oh my God, you are here. You are finally here. I can't believe my eyes. My Taehyung-ie." Jungkook immediately took a step back and stood a little far to allow his boyfriend to meet up with his mother. He knew the woman was Taehyung's mother, Mi-Su just like he knows every member of Taehyung's family through all the photos and videos that Taehyung has shown him over the years. He could feel his own eyes getting teary as he watched the emotional reunion of the mother-son duo after three long years.

"I missed you, Eomma. I missed all of you." Taehyung cries softly as he hugs his mother tightly. Oh how much he had missed his family and his mother's warmth for all these years.

"Eomma missed you too Taehyung-ie. You have no idea how much everyone in the house missed you. But now that you are back, I am not letting you go far from me ever again. Wait, let me see your face clearly." Mi-Su pulled away from Taehyung's tight embrace and held his face in her hands.

"Aww, my Taehyung-ie has become even more handsome than before. But why do you look so thin, huh? Weren't you eating properly for the past three years?" Taehyung watched his mother lovingly as she kept fussing over him.

"What do you mean by, 'Thin,' Eomma? If anything, I have put on more weight than before." Taehyung answers, earning a smack on his head from Mi-Su.

"You don't know anything. I am your mother and I will tell you if you have put on weight or not. But why are you standing out here instead of coming in? Do you know how excited everyone is to meet you? Your Halmoni has been asking about your flight every five minutes. And both your brothers are also at home today just to welcome you. Oh and there is also one big surprise for you. But I won't tell you what it is. Now, come on. Let's go inside and meet everyone." Mi-Su spoke, pulling Taehyung along with her. She didn't give him any chance to say anything before pulling him with her. Taehyung looked back at Jungkook, who had been standing near the pillar, almost hidden and gave him a nod which Jungkook returned and hesitantly followed after Taehyung. He just hoped that Taehyung's other family members were as nice as Mi-Su and not like his own family.

'Stop thinking negative, Jungkook. You are going to win their heart no matter what. Let's go, Jeon. Your future family is waiting for you.' Jungkook decided to give Taehyung enough time to meet with everyone in his family before he introduced Jungkook to them. The moment Mi-Su and Taehyung walked inside their home, he was immediately surrounded by the rest of the family while Jungkook just stayed in the back, absorbing everything.

"Taehyung, you look so grown up. The photos and videos that you sent from London clearly didn't do you any justice. Finally, my family is complete." DeiJi was getting emotional and was trying her best to not cry in front of everyone. She didn't want to ruin the day by being emotional. Her grandson was finally home. Her family was complete. What else she want?

"And you look just the same as you did three years ago. This is so not fair, Halmoni. We all keep getting old while you stay the same. I am starting to think that maybe you are a vampire who never ages. What is your secret, huh? Please share it with your favorite grandson so that I can stay as young as you forever." Taehyung joked, earning another playful smack on his head. But this time from his grandmother.

"Who are you calling old, dear brother? Speak for yourself. I, for one, is still and will always be the most handsome one in this family." Jin smiled widely, coming down the stairs as Taehyung immediately ran to meet him halfway.

"Jin Hyung." Taehyung hugged his brother tightly as Jin softly caressed his back. Even though he used to talk to his family often through video calls and messaging, it still wasn't the same as seeing them face to face. And Taehyung had missed his family greatly during those years in London.
