Forbidden Desires [jikook]

Chapter 28

JIMIN'S POV

A week had passed since meeting Jaebeom's friend, and I'm happy I never crossed paths with him again. Even though I do feel like he followed me home but nothing has happened so far, so I'm really glad that everyone is staying in their own lane. Jaebeom still hasn't brought back the divorce papers though, makes me wonder, does he look at them every day, or he burned them the moment I had him served.

Jungkook and I were still okay, going strong every single day. His love for me grew each second, and so did mine for him. Maybe it's a bit too soon, but I'm deeply in love with this man. In fact... I wanna have his kids. Haha... I'm kidding.

As of now, we were all sitting at the dinner table. And by all I mean me, my man, as well as Mr and Mrs Jeon. We were all at Jungkook's apartment, his parents surprised us and so I had to quickly cook for them. Jungkook helped, of course. I just made simple but delicious traditional dishes, and I'm trying to impress after all. It's their first time meeting me, and we're halfway through eating, but they haven't said a thing. They haven't complimented my food. They haven't asked anything about me, It's like I'm invisible. They keep asking Jungkook about business and totally side lining me. Makes me wonder, do they even like me like Jungkook said? Or was he just lying?

"Mom, like I said. Everything is going well. And yes, I'll properly start as new CEO next week Monday. Now, can we please stop with the business talk?" Jungkook spoke. His eyes showed pity towards me. I just gave him a brief smile and looked down, playing with my food. I can't eat since I'm so anxious and scared.

"What else can we talk about if not business?" Mr Jeon asked.

"Well... I don't know. Maybe we can start by acknowledging that Jimin is in the room with us, or... or we can compliment his delicious food. He worked his small hands off cooking for you, but you still haven't said a thing to him." Jungkook said, more like half yelled. He was angry at his parents, and I understand, but I don't want him to get angry at his parents because of me.

Mrs Jeon glanced at me and continued eating her food like nothing was wrong. Wow.... Jaebeom's parents didn't like me, Jungkook's parents don't like me... I'm guessing the only people who loved me are my parents only. I felt tears stinging my eyes, and I quickly looked down and poked my food.

"Why are you not eating?" That was Jungkook's mom. I looked at her and then back at my untouched plate. They were all halfway through with their meals.

"I... I am eating ma'am." I said.

"No, you're not. Did your parents never tell you not to play with your food?" She asked me again. She is so intimidating, and even the way she speaks, she demands a lot of respect without saying much... just like Jungkook. I'm guessing he took after his mom.

"T-they did... I will eat." I said. She looked at me sternly, as if she was expecting me to eat right under her gaze. Oh wait, she does want me to eat. I opened my mouth and shoved a spoonful of food inside. I slowly chewed she was looking at me. I'm scared. At least I know Jaebeom's mom hates me. This woman is hard to read.

"So... Jimin, what do you do?" Mr Jeon asked me, what do I do? I live.

"Dad, come on." Jungkook said.

"I uhm... I'm job hunting at the moment. It's not going too well, but uhm... I graduated from one of the top universities in South Korea, and I'm sure some people will need my skills sooner or later. I'll just keep looking for a job." I said honestly.

"Hmm." Mr Jeon said.

Damn... what am I doing wrong? I haven't done anything, and I can just tell that they don't like me. There was silence for a while, I was tensed, Jungkook was tensed.
