CHAPTER TWO

Family Matters

The Kim family residence was a haven of warmth and comfort, the kind of home where laughter and family dynamics flourished. Today, however, the atmosphere was charged with an additional buzz of excitement. Taehyung’s mother, Mrs. Kim, had invited his siblings and their significant others for an informal family gathering, eager to catch up and share some news.

Taehyung, still reeling from the chaotic boardroom encounter with Jungkook, had arrived early, hoping to find some solace in his family’s familiar embrace. He was greeted with the typical warmth of his family home, but today, it seemed that the topic of conversation was anything but ordinary.

“Taehyung! There you are!” Mrs. Kim exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Come, sit down. We have so much to discuss.”

Taehyung forced a smile as he joined his mother and siblings at the dining table. “Hi, everyone. What’s going on?”

Jimin, Taehyung’s older brother, looked up from his plate with a grin. “Oh, just the usual family gossip. And by the way, congratulations are in order.”

Taehyung’s eyebrows furrowed. “Congratulations? For what?”

Yeonjun, his younger brother, leaned in with a cheeky smile. “You know, for your upcoming wedding to Jungkook. The whole family is buzzing about it.”

Taehyung’s face reddened instantly. “Can we not talk about that right now? I’m not exactly in the mood.”

Jimin and Yeonjun exchanged a knowing glance before Jimin chimed in. “Come on, Taehyung. It’s not every day someone gets a marriage proposal like that. Even if it’s a bit unconventional.”

Mrs. Kim, who had been silently observing, decided to add her own touch of humor. “Oh, Taehyung, we’re just so excited for you. I always knew you’d end up with someone who challenges you. Jungkook seems like just the person.”

Taehyung sighed, clearly uncomfortable. “Can we change the subject? I’m still trying to process everything.”

“Still processing?” Yeonjun teased. “It’s been days! You should be celebrating. Besides, we all know Jungkook is quite the catch.”

Taehyung’s discomfort was evident, but he tried to deflect. “He’s not exactly my idea of a perfect match.”

Jimin chuckled. “Sure, he might be a bit of a challenge, but that’s what makes it interesting. I bet you two will make an amazing couple.”

Mrs. Kim nodded in agreement. “And just think of all the adventures ahead. It will be quite a journey for both of you.”

Taehyung’s cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red. “Can we not turn this into a discussion about my love life? I came here for a family dinner, not a roast.”

His siblings laughed, clearly enjoying the playful banter. Yeonjun leaned back, still grinning. “Alright, alright. We’ll ease up on the teasing. For now.”

As the evening wore on, the conversation shifted to more neutral topics, but the playful teasing about Taehyung’s upcoming marriage lingered in the background. Despite his initial discomfort, Taehyung found himself smiling at the warmth and support of his family. It was clear they were excited about the future, even if he was still grappling with it himself.
