The dinner table was buzzing with lively conversations and laughter as everyone enjoyed the delicious meal. Y/N and Taehyung sat quietly, hoping to slip out unnoticed after finishing their plates. However, Jennie had other plans.

Jennie: (noticing them trying to leave) “Oh, where do you think you two are going? The night is still young, Mr. and Mrs. Kim!”

Y/N: (blushing, stammering) “We... um, thought we’d head back. It’s been a long day.”

Jennie: (grinning mischievously) “A long day of romantic moonlit walks and secret stares, huh? Care to share, Y/N unnie?”

Taehyung: (sighing, pinching the bridge of his nose) “Jennie, not everyone has time for your overactive imagination.”

Jennie: (ignoring him, leaning toward Y/N) “Come on, spill it. Did he finally say something sweet? Maybe call you ‘beautiful’ under the stars?”

Y/N: (eyes widening, waving her hands frantically) “N-No! It wasn’t like that!”

Nayeon: (rolling her eyes, smacking Jennie lightly on the arm) “Jennie, stop embarrassing them. You’re going to scare Y/N away.”

Jennie: (giggling) “Oh, come on, Nayeon! Look at her face. She’s blushing so hard! And Taehyung oppa—” (pointing at him) “—he’s pretending not to care, but I bet he’s dying inside.”

Taehyung: (leaning back in his chair, crossing his arms) “You’re the only one dying here, Jennie, from lack of self-control.”

Jungkook: (joining in, smirking) “Hyung, don’t act so cool. We saw how you couldn’t keep your eyes off her during dinner.”

Taehyung: (narrowing his eyes) “You really want to start this, Jungkook?”

Shreya: (laughing, trying to diffuse the situation) “Alright, alright, let’s not gang up on them. Let them breathe.”

Jennie: (dramatically) “But it’s so much fun! Unnie, don’t you agree? Taehyung glaring like that—it’s kind of romantic, isn’t it?”

Y/N: (looking down, her face burning with embarrassment) “I... I don’t know...”

Jimin: (chuckling) “Jennie, stop before Taehyung actually leaves with her just to escape you.”

Jennie: (pouting) “Fine, but I’m just saying, the two of them are too cute. It’s like a drama unfolding right in front of us!”

Nayeon: (sighing, giving Jennie another light smack) “And you’re the unnecessary comic relief no one asked for.”

Jennie: (mocking hurt) “How dare you, Nayeon! I’m the spice of this family!”

Y/N: (whispering to Taehyung) “Maybe we should go before this gets worse.”

Taehyung: (smirking slightly, his voice low) “Agreed. Before Jennie starts writing fanfiction about us.”

The group burst into laughter again as Jennie dramatically gasped, and Y/N couldn’t help but smile shyly, appreciating the warmth and humor of Taehyung’s family—even if they made her feel like the center of attention for all the wrong reasons.

The dinner slowly came to an end, the lively atmosphere simmering down to a calm and heartfelt vibe. Everyone began preparing to leave, sharing hugs and goodbyes at the door. Y/N stood beside Taehyung, her parents lingering near the threshold.

Y/N’s Mom: (gently holding her hands) “Take care of yourself, beta. And don’t hesitate to call if you need anything.”

Y/N: (smiling softly) “I will, Mom. You and Dad don’t forget to take care of yourselves too.”
