GSA ( EXO/BTS fanfic)

"Mama!" Libby cried.

"Baby, I've missed you so much. The house is so lonely without my girls and my sweet Jungkook." Her mother said pulling both Libby and Jungkook into a hug.

"Oh, Jungkookie. You were amazing tonight; my baby is going to be a star one day soon." She gushed. "Thank you, Carmen." Despite the many times she'd insisted Jungkook call her mama, he just couldn't bring himself to do it. It felt like a betrayal to his own mother.

"Libby, Jungkook you both did great tonight." Libby's step father said. The man was too serious for his own good but Libby liked him, he made her mama happy.

"Baby, where is this boy of yours. I can barely contain my curiosity. Olivia tells me he's cute and smitten with you." Her mother said while Jungkook and his father walked off to talk in private.

"Livy has a big mouth." Libby sniffed.

"I'm happy you two are talking regularly again. It's not good to let things come between you two. A twin bond is a precious thing."

"I know mama." Libby said.

"So where is this Park Chanyeol?" her mother asked once more.

"With his sister." Libby said looking all over the room for him before she caught sight of him, his sister and Baekhyun. Baekhyun saw Libby and nudged Chanyeol. She waved him over.

"Mama, this is my boyfriend Chanyeol. Yeolie this is my mama." She introduced when Chanyeol came over. Chanyeol bowed stiffly and greeted Libby's mum. The poor baby was a nervous wreck. Libby's mum melted at how cute he was. "He really does have elvish ears. You picked a cute one baby." Her mum said turning her attention back to Chanyeol. Taking his arm in hers, she led them to a vacant table asking him all sorts of questions. Libby followed behind and laughed to herself watching her boyfriend fall for her mother's charms and vice versa. The three of them talked about random stuff and Baekhyun, his mother and Chanyeol's sister came to join them. The three older women discussing a recent politician's adultery scandal when they witnessed Hyun Ae arguing with her mother. Hyun Ae's mother had never taken to Libby, so she had made a point to avoid the woman whenever all evening but as Hyun Ae ran from the room she got up to follow after her. She stopped however when she saw both Namjoon and Sehun follow after her.

"Uh-oh."

*******

Namjoon looked on from the shadows as Sehun held a distraught Hyun Ae in his arms. An unexpected surge of jealousy coursed through his veins. So far, he'd been secure in his relationship with Hyun Ae, he knew she had lingering feelings for ex and that Sehun might return those feelings but he'd never once felt threatened. Until now. Torn between wanting to comfort Hyun Ae and letting her and Sehun have their moment unaware of his presence, he stood frozen in the shadows. He could hear Hyun Ae crying from where he stood, each sob like a poisoned dart to his heart. His fingers curled into his palms as he cursed his own helplessness.

He couldn't allow Hyun Ae's mum to do this, take her away from everything she held dear. Hyun Ae lived for her music, forcing her to let it go would simply kill her with each passing day. Already she resented her mother, if nothing was done both mother and daughter would have a permanently irreparable relationship. He decided to trust Sehun and let him be with Hyun Ae for now while he went back into the hall to make things right.

He didn't have to look far, just as he went back into the building he spotted Hyun Ae's parents having a furious fight just next to a flight of stairs. Squaring his shoulders, he approached them. "Excuse me." He said making both adults stop abruptly in the middle of their fight.

"Can't you tell this is a private conversation, who the hell are you?" Hyun Ae's mother spat. Namjoon wanted to point out that the conversation wasn't that private since they couldn't seem to keep a civilised tone but he held that retort back.

He bowed and introduced himself; "My name is Kim Namjoon, I'm Hyun Ae's boyfriend."

Hyun Ae's mother scoffed; "So she switched with one degenerate for another." The look she gave Namjoon was scathing and told him exactly what she thought of him. "Can't you stop being so critical of our daughter for once in your life?" Hyun Ae's father spat. "Where is Hyun Ae, is she okay?" he asked Namjoon.

"Far from it," Namjoon told them. "And if you don't mind, I'm going to give you some unwanted advice." He said looking Hyun Ae's mum straight in the eyes. They were around the same height, so it wasn't that hard.

"Oh?" Hyun Ae's mother said raising a perfectly trimmed brow, her spectacles adding to the fierceness of her aura. Namjoon refused to back down. "You should stop pushing your dreams onto Hyun Ae. She's her own person and capable of making her own decisions. She's a bright and determined girl so I'm sure she knows what she wants and it's not studying medicine." He said.

"He's right." Hyun Ae's father agreed, "You need to stop this. When was the last time you had a talk with Hyun Ae, Nagisa? I don't mean you barking orders at her or criticising everything she does, I mean a real heartfelt mother to daughter talk. Our daughter doesn't need you to be her mentor, she need you to be her mother. You're going to lose her if you go on like this Nagisa, is that what you want?"

Hyun Ae's mum looked between the two men, her expression was neutral, mouth set in a grim line. "This conversation is over. Tell Hyun Ae I'll be coming by to see her tomorrow." And with that she walked off, her heels sounding so loud in the dimly lit hallway. Namjoon was left alone with Hyun Ae's father who was analysing him with a critical eye. "You must think we're the worst parents on earth." He said.

"Not at all Sir, we've all had our fair share of mistakes." Namjoon rebuffed.

"My wife and I have made for than a fair share where our children are concerned." Hyun Ae's father said scratching his head. "Anyway, where's Hyun Ae, I'd like to see he one more time before I leave."

"She's outside with Sehun."

Hyun Ae's father frowned; "I thought you said you were her boyfriend."

"I am, Sehun's just being a good friend."

"Well young man, you seem like a good kid but I don't think I have to tell you what will happen if you hurt my daughter." The two of them talked some more, before Namjoon went back into the hall and Hyun Ae's father went to look for her.
