You could not resonate with your friend right now. You couldn't understand her anxiety over the prospect of her boyfriend meeting her parents. She's been in a relationship for two years so it was natural for her parents to ask for a meeting with her boyfriend. Obviously they were curious about her boyfriend's intention over their daughter.
"I can't sleep..," she gushed. "I keep getting this image that my parents will hate my boyfriend."
"But what could they hate him for? He has a stable job, he is nice and respectful to you, and I heard he doesn't mind meeting your parents, which shows that he's also serious about your relationship?" You tried to calm her down.
"Yeah," she chewed the inside of her cheek,"I just hope everything will be fine though..."
"Don't worry, I think your boyfriend is ready to meet your parents," you assured her.
They always complained, your friends. They always envied you. In this kind of situation, they always complained that you didn't share the same fear about having your boyfriend to meet your parents. Even though your boyfriend hasn't met your parents yet, both of you were not worried about the prospect of him seeing your parents. In fact, you were just waiting for the right time as your boyfriend was pretty busy. Especially before his military enlistment. He tried to pack his schedule with work, as much as he could, before his departure.
It was true that your boyfriend ticked all the criteria for the ideal son-in-law.
Stable income? Checked. He might not be a millionaire yet, but he would work hard to ensure that your basic needs were all fulfilled.
Good education background? Checked. He might not be an Ivy-league school's graduate, but at least he finished his undergraduate study despite his workload. Yep, that's right. He was working while finishing his study.
Drool-worthy appearance? Hell yeah, of course. You lost count at how many people telling you that your boyfriend had this boy-next-door look, that he was so handsome that they thought he was coming out of a fairytale.
Polite and charming personality? Checked. He was this embodiment of a gentleman that not only the girls agreed but also boys as well.
However, they didn't know that your boyfriend was pretty playful, especially behind closed doors. At first, you also thought that your boyfriend would be this cool, calm and collected man. But it turned out, he could be witty and a bit naughty as well. Moreover as time had passed and he became more comfortable with you, the more you saw that he wasn't all this innocent and plain white guy that you first thought of. It was a shock at first.. but not really these days. And you got even bolder as days went by.
"Baby, are you sure you're okay with meeting my parents just days before your enlistment?" You double checked just to be sure, since he was busy as hell and you didn't want to burden him.
"Yeah sure, it's okay," he smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry about it. I've cleared up my schedule so I can meet them comfortably."
"Okay," you smiled back, feeling glad that he was able to meet your parents at such a short notice. When your mother heard that he was going to be enlisted soon, they insisted on meeting him before his enlistment. And you couldn't say no. Luckily it was no problem at all.
"Should I wear a suit? Or drop it?" Your boyfriend put up a black suit in front of his body and moved it away so you could see which one was better.
"We're just having dinner, babe, I think it'd be better without," you gave your two cents and he agreed.
"Alright then, navy is okay?" He pointed to his shirt and you nodded since it would be okay compared to your champagne dress.
"I think you'll still look good even if you wear a garbage bag," you kissed his cheek briefly and he grinned.
"Well, I want to give a good impression to your parents."
"And you will be," you assured him, patting his muscular arm. "I bet they would love you more than me after they met you."
"Maybe..," he drawled.
"As long as you behave," you teased him while he mocked gasping.
"But I always behave," he winked rapidly and you couldn't help but laugh and swatted his arm.
"Stop it..come on, we have to go now or we'll be late and you'll miss your chance to impress my parents."
As predicted, he easily sweet-talked your mother, who like other females on earth, got swooned by your boyfriend's good looks. As dinner proceeded and both your parents engaged in a serious conversation with your boyfriend, you noticed how his answers seemed to satisfy your father. He seemed to have the right answer to his questions, especially the ones involving you. Even though you would have to wait until he finished his military duty, your parents didn't seem to mind because your boyfriend assured them that he had a marriage in mind with you. After completing his duty. Duty to the country then duty to you. Your father seemed to agree to his principle.
But you got bored. They talked about anything and everything. And it seemed endless. And they seemed to forget that you were still in the room. So you had this naughty idea in your head, something that you saw in your feed a couple days ago and you wanted to put it into a test. You scrolled your phone for a bit and found the thing that you looked for and wrote a quick message before sending it to your boyfriend. You heard his phone ding, signaling that a new message was received and he raised an eyebrow subtly at you while you just shrugged, pretending innocence. As if you didn't just send him a message.
From the side of your eyes, you could see your boyfriend reached for his phone in his pocket and took it out and read it briefly. But you could see how his eyes widened for a brief second before putting it back into his pocket and pretended that nothing had happened.
"Is something wrong?" Your father asked and your boyfriend shook his head.
"It can wait," he replied, resuming to eat. A few minutes later, you excused yourself.
"Sorry, I need to go to the restroom," you excused yourself and you swore you could feel your boyfriend's gaze burnt a hole at the back of your head. But just as you were about to open the restroom door, someone put their hands on your waist and pushed you inside the restroom cubicle, closing the door quickly behind you and locked the door. It was so fast that when you finally got to turn around and were about to protest, your eyes widened when you saw that it was your boyfriend.
"What are you doing?" You smirked as he backed you up against the door.
"Oh, you know what you're doing," he glared at you, "you little devil... do you think I'll keep sitting there with your parents in front of me, while I'm thinking of doing unholy stuff to their daughter?"
You snickered as your plan worked perfectly. The spicy photos that you sent earlier worked like magic.
"Unholy stuff? Like what?" You challenged him, feeling his hands gripping to your waist tighter, nails digging into your hip as he brushed his knees up against your inner thigh, nudging your legs apart.
"Damn it," he breathed. "This was not in my plan when I agreed to meet your parents.. but you're a little temptress," he shook his head. "Maybe I should punish you so you won't pull that kind of prank again," he breathed near your ear while you waited in anticipation of what he would do to you. He might have the look of an angel in front of everyone, but you knew the right button to push to reveal his devil side and you loved every side of him.
a/n Hi everyone. If you're new to this series, there's no members' name on the title because it's your job to guess which member is written here. I try to provide as much clues as possible, so please leave your guess in the comments. Theories whatsoever.. anything. I'd love to read them. As for life, it's been hectic, so I'm looking forward to school holiday. Hopefully I will find some time so I can finish Yugyeom's story.
