Days With Mark Tuan (One Shots)

92. Meet the In-Laws

You watched as Mark's hand shook on the steering wheel of the car. You let out a laugh. "Mark, calm down!"

"What if they don't like me!?" he freaked out.

"Are you insane? Of course they'll like you idiot. You're like their dream son-in-law that they've always wanted. Never thought I would be marrying someone that my parents would approve of."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"I don't know if i should be happy or even more worried." He parked into your driveway.

You walked out and saw your  parents  and grandparents running out. You walked over and gave them each a long hug. "Mom, dad, grandpa, grandma... meet my fiancé, Mark." You walked over and locked your arm with his.

Mark bowed his head. "Hello. I'm Mark. It's nice to meet you."

"You're too stiff!" I whispered. "Loosen up."

"Come in," said my grandpa.

We all went into the living room and sat down. You and Mark sat on the floor in front of the adults.

"Grandma, don't you think he's handsome!?" you smiled. "I did a good job, right?"

"You're embarrassing me!" Mark whispered.

"I'm your fiancee," you whispered back. "It's my job. I told you to loosen up! They're really traditional, but I am the grandchild in the family who go against that."

"What to your parents do for a living?" asked your dad.

Mark explained what his parents do nervously.

"Ah! Grandma, Mark's leg has been hurting for a while. Do you have those pad thingy?"

Your grandma went to get the pad and returned.

"Put this where it hurts," said your grandma to Mark. "Go take off your pants and put it on."

"I'll help!" you raised your hand. You reached for Mark's pants button and he quickly grabbed your hands.

Mark looked up at the elders as they looked at the two of you, not knowing what to do with your braveness to do something like wanting to take off his pants in front of them. "I-I'll go to the bathroom," said Mark.

"Do you need help?"

"N-No!" He cleared his throat. "W-Where's the bathroom?"

"Upstairs, first door."

"P-P-Please excuse me," said Mark as he went upstairs to the bathroom.

"____, you're too out there," said your dad.

"Look at him," said your grandpa. "He knows how to respect the elders. You're all over the place!"

"So you like him?" you asked. "He was so nervous coming here, but i knew you guys would like him. He's the complete opposite of me. He respect the rules, I disobey them. He worries about the thought of elders, I try to make them see what I see. Weird how different we are, but I love him so much."

Mark came down and sat back down next to you.

"Look mom. Now you're doing to have a good 'child'." You got up and sat behind Mark. You wrapped your arms around Mark's neck from behind and placed your chin on his shoulder. "He's respectful to everyone."

Your mom looked at Mark. "Are you serious about marrying this one?" asked your mom. "Look at her. She's a mess. She can't do anything right and always does what she wants."

"Mom!" you cried.

Mark smiled. "That's what I love about her. She always listens to her heart and not afraid to show it to others."

"She can't do anything for herself," said your dad.

"Then I'll be here to help her."

"No matter what you say, Mark is still going to keep loving me," you smiled. "Right Mark?"

He nodded.

"Anyway, Mark let's go put our bags in my room."

"Your room?" asked your dad. "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?"

"The two of you are going to sleep in your room?"

"Yes."

"You have a twin size bed."

"We'll fit."

"____!"

"Don't worry! We've done it before and it worked our fine."

"That's not the problem!"

"I-I can sleep on the couch," said Mark. "O-Or in a motel somewhere?"

"Don't be silly!" you smiled. You grabbed Mark's hand and dragged him upstairs as Mark feared the elders. You closed the door behind you and dropped your belongings on the floor. You jumped onto your bed and laid down. "I missed this bed!"

"____, why did you say we slept together before?" asked Mark.

"So? All we did was sleep in one bed."

"Y-Yeah, but they might get the wrong idea."

"Don't worry too much about them. Let them think what they think." You sat up and smiled at Mark.

He walked over and stopped in front of you. You reached and wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him down. You placed your lips on his.

The door suddenly sung opened and the two of you looked to the door  to see your family members freaking out inside, not knowing what to do after seeing you two kissing. Mark beat himself inside, worrying not he really messed up and they might not like him now.

"Sorry," said your dad as he quickly closed the door.

"I forgot. They don't knock," you said.

"T-They're going to disapprove of me!" said Mark.

"Relax! They like you! Watch! They know it was me who kissed you first."

Mark and you end down and Mark was too scared to look up at the elders. You smiled happily as if nothing happened.

That night, Mark insisted on sleeping on a different bed. You placed a bed on the floor beside your bed and he sleep there why you slept in your bed. You and Mark looked at each other as the two of you lied down.

"They really like you," you said. "They allowed you in my room. That's saying a lot. Remember my best friend Van? He wasn't allowed to step foot on the second floor when I'm up here. It was already hard enough to let him be allowed to step foot our my property."

Mark smiled. "God. I really want to sleep up there with you right now."

"Them come! I want to sleep with you too!"

"I can't do that." Mark reached for your hand and held it while you two laid there.

"You and your honor."

"I want them to see that I am the perfect man for you."

"I told you, they already know! So come up here."

"I can't. I told them I was going to sleep down here and that is what I am going to do."

"Fine. I know I can't change your mind."

The two of you fell asleep, holding each other's hand.
