Jungkook guided Taehyung down the hallway. The older male was still apprehensive about being inside such a big place. Jungkook could see how scared his boyfriend was and he was going to protect him no matter what.

'Nothing is going to break us apart again. Never again' Jungkook thought to himself as they waked down the hallway together. As they got closer to the main room, they could hear faint voices speaking. Every step, the voices got louder and Jungkook started to get nervous as he began to recognise them. Taehyung felt his boyfriend's palm grew warmer and started to worry. As they turned the corner, Jungkook stiffened.

"Jungkook, Dear. We're home!" his mother cheered. Jungkook's hand dropped from holding Taehyung. The older male was confused and somewhat disappointed with not feeling the comfort and security of his boyfriend. Jungkook stared at his parents, both of which were sitting on the large sofa. The room felt colder suddenly.

"Well come on, aren't you going to welcome your parents back home?" his mother asked sarcastically as she got up, ashamed that Jungkook wasn't being mannerly in-front of company.

"Um, hello" he welcomed nervously. He went to hug his mother who just gave him a kiss on the cheek instead. He went over to his father who simply shook his hand and went back to reading his newspaper. "H-how was your trip?" he stuttered.

"Oh, never mind about that. We can discuss it over dinner" His mother waved the question of with a flick of her hair. "More importantly" her eyes narrowed, "who are you?". Her gaze directed towards Taehyung who was standing on the border of the room. He shuddered at the deep stare Jungkook's mother was giving him.

"Uh this is Taehyung" Jungkook said quickly, rushing back to his boyfriend's side. "I was wondering if he could stay for dinner?" he asked hesitantly. His mother didn't say anything for a moment. Both Jungkook and Taehyung could tell she was in deep thought.

"Dear?" she asked her husband. He put down part of his newspaper and looked up.

"Why not? We are expecting more guests for dinner anyway" Jungkook's father replied and immediately went back to his paper.

"Then yes Jungkook he can" she responded. Both the two young males smiled although Jungkook's immediately fell.

"Wait, more guests?" he asked.

"Yes dear. We decided now that we are back we were going to host a small get together. Your father has an important business deal to discuss with our guests that are arriving later" she responded with a smile. Suddenly, one of the helpers came in and bowed to everyone in the room.

"Dinner is ready to be served" the helper said and walked back out.

The family walked into the dining room together. Jungkook walked with his head down deep in thought, Taehyung behind him wishing he could hold his boyfriend's hand again but he knew why he couldn't. They entered the dining room. Taehyung was taken aback by how grand it was. There were antique details all around, with paintings of family hung up. A large chandelier was hanging from the ceiling above the long table. They all took their seats as food back to make its way into the room. Taehyung sat across from his boyfriend, looking at how down he seemed. Jungkook felt that he was being looked at and glanced up to meet Taehyung's eyes. His boyfriend smiled at him, Jungkook responded with a weak one.
