"Jungkook-Ah, I don't feel like going out." You say as you sit on his bed.

"E everyone is going. It'll look good. Don't you wanna meet my parents?" Ah there it is again. Parents. "Don't be nervous, they're really nice and they'll love you." He says.

"It's not yours that is the problem." I say with a gulp. "My mum is a crazy chairwoman." I say.

"And?"

"She's not exactly the nicest Kookie." I say as I stand up. "But yeah let's just see how the night goes."

"It'll be fun." He says with a smile. I just sigh before walking into the Uber.

We arrive and I spot our parents awkwardly sitting there. I see Jungkooks who are talking to eachother and then my mother who is on her phone, ugh.

"I apologise in advance." I whisper to jungkook before I go and sit down.

"Elora! My baby." My mother says happily. "Oh my you've lost weight, have you been eating?"

"I've been eating fine." I say taking her hands off my face. "Hi nice to meet you." I say to Jungkooks parents.

"Nice to meet you." They both say together. "Jungkook, she's beautiful." Jungkook smiles brightly at his parents.

"Oh the business has been booming lately sweetie. You won't believe how well your siblings are doing too. I mean it's incredible how much profit is coming through." She says.

The part in Italics I'm in E's language:
"Mum greet them all and be nice, that's my boyfriend!" I say in our own language.

"So what? Unless they're talking business I don't care. Plus you're young this is just another boy."

"Business? Is that all you care about right now?"

"I don't associate with people of their kind." I sigh and just smile at everyone.

"So let's order!" I say back in English. Jungkook looks at me and I just give him a smile before I look back at the menu. The waiter comes and we all order.

"And your most expensive wine please." My mother says, oh god.

"Your business must be great." Jungkooks mother says trying to make conversation.

"Great? Honey." I nudge my mum. "I mean yes, your son is also quiet successful. A singer right?" Oh god. I try not to cringe about how little my mother cares/

"Yes I am in one of Koreas top Korean boy bands." Jungkook says proudly.

"Cute." Mother says. "Ok we've all met, can my daughter and I go home now?" MOTHER!

"AHAHAHAH you're so funny!" I say in a fake voice as I try to play off my mothers words. "She's a real joker." I say, thankfully the food arrives which distracts everyone. After an awkward dinner we finally get to go home.

--THE NEXT MORNING--

"Hello director sir, oh hello mother." I say as I walk into BigHit's directors office, why is my mother here?

"Recently, as of last night some pictures have been circling." Th director says, pictures? "We stopped them before they got out but we didn't know that you had a relationship with BTS Jungkook."

Oh shit.

"We would like you to move out and officially resign from your position as BTS' stylist." He says bluntly.

"Mother!" I whine like a baby.

"Sorry sweetie, I did what I could. I agree with the Director, you need to find some young CEO and you need to not work for other people." What? I look between the two helplessly.

"Although, I like this idea of Jungkook dating, it would add to his more masculine and grown up appearance that we need for the next comeback."

"But you're just not the girl." Mother says. "I've already signed you with modelling gigs in and out of your siblings company. Go to them and become famous, then find a CEO and settle like a good girl, yes?" I don't respond, I can't find anything to say. "Have you ever said no to your mother?"

"Also we would like you to move imminently and to not contact the boys again after today. We cannot risk such a scandal."

"I got you a new number and a new phone sweetie." Mother says. I'm helpless, what can I do?

"Can I at least say goodbye?" I ask.

"That won't be necessary."

"I-"

"No crying, he's just some idol jerk okay? You can do better than that." My mother says cupping my face. "Lets go."

I arrive at my new apartment, I sit down on the couch emotionlessly.

"I have plenty of men for you, we raise independent girls. Look at your sister." My mother says walking in after me, she texts beside me.

"She doesn't even know what love is." I say with a sniffle.

"Love gets you nowhere." Mother says strictly. "You saw what happened to your father. This is a new world and you are going to grow up into it. We politically marry, we don't go on dates but rather spend our time building empires, we work hard and stay alive."

"Whats a life worth living without love?" I choke as I feel a tear fall.

"This is too pathetic to watch. Go and finish collecting your things while the boys are still out."

-

I stare at my room one last time, ah so empty. I feel my heart sadden as I remember jungkook and I in here looking for clothes for that festival, or when we ate pizza or our movie nights we would always have. I remember Tae always randomly running in and jin coming to check on me when I was sick. I remember it all.

But I guess for now ill have to forget it all. Before I leave I go up to Jungkooks room, I take his black hoodie from his closet. I sigh as I look around.

"I'll remember you." I whisper before I turn to the door, I see Jungkook standing there, huh? "Your home?" I ask beyond shocked.

"Why do you look so worried, you can borrow my hoodies I don't mind." He says with an amused look. "Where are you going? Can I come?"

"I'm just seeing my mother for a bit."

"Oh yeah, its good our parents met. My parents love you, which means we can be together forever." He says holding my hands and smiling.

"Forever." I say with a chuckle.

"Mhmm, we're a team." He says as he leans in and kisses me, I quickly pull away.

"I'll be late." I say before I run down the stairs, I feel my eyes water.

"Come back soon! I'll miss youuu!" He calls cheerily and cheesily. I wipe my eyes and calm my breath before responding.

"Yeah!"
