Hanni

"They'll love you, Hanni. My mom has always just wanted me to not be so lonely anymore." Minji said with a chuckle as she hugged me to ease my nerves. But Anton's parents didn't like me.

And it explained where he got that horrible personality from.

Minji let me go and gave me that sweet smile of hers. "Don't worry okay, and I just want to let you know before hand that they'll probably mention my ex, it's a very bad trait about them and I truly apologize before hand but I'll talk to them about that." She said and I had pause for a moment.

"Don't think it'd ever be because they want to make you feel bad. They just want to make sure that you know that I have a "fragile" heart and they wouldn't want me to get hurt." She continued upon noticing my silence.

And I softened, it seemed understandable. I would see why they would bring such topic up but it doesn't necessarily make it right either.

I went on my tippy toes and let my lips press a giant Minji's. The kiss was sweet and gentle. "I'll understand, but I don't want them to over step my boundaries either. Im your girlfriend now, and your ex should stay in the past." I said and she gave me a nod.

"I know, I'll make sure everything goes well." She said. I gave her a smile and held her hand. Minji guided me towards the front door of her parent's house. It wasn't big because obviously, Minji wasn't rich. And I didn't care.

Her love for me made her richer than anyone in this world.

Minji knocked on the front door, she gave my hand a slight squeeze before the door was opened to reveal a cute little girl at the door. I'm guessing this was Hyein, Minji's little sister.

"You must be Hanni! Mom! Minji's girlfriend is here, along with your ugly daughter." Minji let out a click of her tongue as she frowned as she glared at the little one who laughed her butt off.

We entered the small house as she made us walk to—what seemed to be— the living room. And I was met with a couple standing at the other end with happy smiles on their faces as they both held a tiny gift in their hands.

I let out a smile and the came to me bringing me in to a hug, both of them shoving Minji away and I couldn't help but laugh when Hyein joined in too. Pushing Minji away.

I already felt so welcomed and I peeked at Minji who despite seemed to be angry, the smile on her face was brother than the sun itself. She was happy with her parent's reaction.

"Okay, time to let go. That's my girlfriend." Minji said as she pushed through her parents and wrapped me in her arms and I couldn't help but laugh at the teasing look they gave her.

"You're truly beautiful dear." Her mother said and I gave her a thankful smile. "My wife is right, dear. You're too pretty for Minji." And said person let out a whine and her father let out a chuckle.

"Well, you're here for dinner. I don't want to keep you waiting." And with that we headed to the dinner table and everything seemed to flow smoothly, and there hadn't been any mentions of her ex.

And I spoke too soon. I should've known.

"She's much better than Gaeul, isn't she?" I heard her mother whisper and Minji heard it too as she shook her head at them, hoping that I hadn't heard it.

"I'm sorry, but Hanni is so much more well mannered than Gaeul. That woman was crazy! She never showed us an ounce of respect. She was pretty, yes. But that personality of hers had me wondering what she did to enchant you." I could only listen as Minji slammed her hand on the table.

"That name is forbidden on this dinning table as long as Hanni is my girlfriend. Please have some respect for her and not mention someone of the past." Minji said and Ms. Kim let out a sigh.

"We're sorry, Hanni. It's just that you are so much better than Minji's ex. And I doubt that Minji told you the whole story." I looked over at Minji confused. "Dad, please." And then Hyein was the one to speak.

"Gaeul was mean, she never liked me! But Hanni does!" I looked at the little one and gave her a nod, letting her know that I very much liked her. "Minji went through such a bad break up for a short period relationship." Her mother said.

What did Minji not tell me about this relationship?

"But we already love you, dear. We welcome you to the Kim family with no doubts, I just hope you're here to stay with us." I gave Mrs. Kim a smile, trying to ignore everything else that was said before. I want to be in this family forever.

We all went back to eating but Minji had completely stopped eating and just poking at her food as if she had no more appetite. It did more emotional damage to her than for me and I didn't seem to understand why.

Minji always made it seem like that relationship meant nothing to her but I have her parents telling me that Minji suffered through the break up?  That didn't add up.

Something wasn't making sense and I needed her to tell me every last bit of detail. I've been with her for a couple of months now, graduation is in a month and two weeks away. Prom is around the corner and Minji pulls up with this?

I won't break up with her, I just want her to be honest with me. We can't be in a relationship when she isn't being fully honest with me. I've been honest with her and told her everything about me and Anton.

And it's made her realize what is right and wrong when it comes to us.

Couldn't she be the same? So that I could know to what and what not to do.

Dinner went on and things had just seemed to get out of the flow and it was now awkward. Both her parents knew they messed up badly by mentioning, Gaeul? Is that her name?

But I felt sad. I didn't like knowing Minji lied to me about such thing. She always said that the relationship never meant anything to her in a serious way. But something tells me, that I'm not her first love.

And that's what seems to bother me the most. She made it seem that I was for so long. What if I'm not? And it was just a way for her to get with me?

No, Minji isn't like that.

There must be a reason why Minji didn't want to tell me, and it didn't make her a bad person. It made her someone who's aware of what it would do, and Minji always made it clear that she never wanted to ruin things between us.

"I'll be dropping Hanni off, and when I come back we're going to talk." Minji was serious and I didn't like it one bit. It wasn't their fault that she didn't tell me.

I let out a sigh once I had bid my goodbyes to the Kim's, and taking their little gifts with me along with a sticker Hyein gave me to make me feel better. She was truly adorable.

"Let's go to the park, we need to talk." I said as I got in her car and slammed the door shut. I wasn't even mad, I swear! But I was just disappointed.

When Minji got in I turned to look at her and she reached out to grab my hand. And I let her, I love Minji. And with love, comes the part where you listen before acting. You don't want to mess up for not wanting to hear the love of your life out.

I just hope she doesn't shatter my heart.
