Awkward Family Dinner

Suga sat at the table and stuck a piece of bacon in his mouth. "Morning, my handsome Yoongi." His father said as he sat a bowl on the table and sat next to him. "Breakfast is important, so eat up. Dinner tonight is also important, so..." He looked at Suga, who ignored him.

"I'm busy." Was all Suga said in response.

Mr. Min sighed in frustration. "My mother, is your grandmother. When you were little, she raised you. Let's have dinner."

Suga would not budge. "Dinner must be eaten, but I eat mine and you eat yours."

"Though it's mainly for NaNa and Pammy's benefit." With hearing the nickname his father uses for Lonna, Suga stopped eating and listened. "Your grandmother, who is also my mother will be meeting my fiancee for the first time. It's important."

"Since you finally got to the point. Cut the crap." Suga said finally looking at him.

"Crap? What was my point?" Mr. Min gave Suga a confused look.

"I'll go." Suga rolled his eyes. "So they won't be frightened by that woman's face."

"Eat." Mr. Min said happily. Suga couldn't be more mad at the fact that he had let himself be talked into this so easily.

That Night

Lonna and her mother both looked at each other's appearances one last time as they stood by the restaurant door. "Lonna, what if I say the wrong thing? I'm so nervous." Lonna felt sorry for her mother.

"Don't worry. It'll be fine." Lonna gave her a big smile to encourage her.

'He said his mother was very strict.' Pamela thought. She didn't want her daughter to worry more. 'Can we all really be happy?' Lonna could tell her mother was deep in thought as they walked through the restaurant. She was getting nervous herself.

Everything Kooky said ran through her mind again. 'Mom, I'm sorry. If my feelings can't be suppressed, and if this continues, then I can't be family with Suga.'

The table was quiet as they all sat together. Suga's grandmother sat at the head of the table. No one dared to touch the food without her first saying they could. "Although this is our first meeting, we will soon become a family. So don't be nervous, please eat." Suga's grandmother gave everyone permission.

"Even though this is my first time meeting Lonna and Pamela, I represent our family in welcoming you. I want to use tonight to discuss how the wedding plans are going."

"Yes." Pamela smiled brightly.

"Despite this being second marriages for you both, the betroth money from the Min family won't disappoint you." The grandmother said happily.

"About the betroth money." Pamela spoke excitedly. "I've already thought of a number that will make me happy, mom!" At the last word she said, all eyes snapped in her direction. They were in disbelief that she had actually said it. Their looks made Pamela nervous again. "Calling you mom now, is kind of embarrassing."

"I'm not use to it either." Suga's grandmother admitted.

Pamela smiled kindly in her direction. "Then I should practice...mom." She looked over at Mr. Min who smiled at her. "It's getting easier. Mom!" Lonna and Suga both looked at each other with weird looks on their faces.

Suga's grandmother coughed roughly. "Mom, what is it? Does your throat not feel well?" Pamela started reaching behind her. "I have cough drops in my purse."

"It's ok." Grandmother interrupted her. "Since you have a number in mind, I'd like to hear it."

"Betroth money..." Pamela held up one finger. "Is enough."

"One million won!" Grandmother exclaimed.

"Mom, you're such a joker." Pamela laughed. "Your son and I are both remarrying. We didn't throw away the past, but to build a new family, we need a new atmosphere. One thing restarts, ten thousand things change. One dollar is good luck." Lonna smiled at her mom's words. "Mom, for the betroth money, can you give me one dollar?"

All eyes stared at Suga's grandmother, who started to get nervous under their stares. "Of course... of course." She stuttered. Pamela looked at Mr. Min and scrunched her nose playfully, which he did back.

Suga leaned over to Lonna who was sitting next to him and whispered in her ear. "My grandmother has been defeated by your mother." Lonna giggled quietly at the look of surprise on his face.

RM's POV

The warehouse was silent as RM, Jimin, and Jhope all ate and concentrated on drawing their project designs.

"What time is it?" Taehyung asked breaking the silence as he walked in.

"Right... Suga told me to call him. What time was it? 8:30 or 9?" RM talked out loud to himself.

"Let's watch TV. Ten minutes til the 8:30 lottery." Taehyung grabbed the remote and switched the TV on.

"No winner in three weeks. The jackpot is huge." Jhope said excitedly as he grabbed his ticket and sat next to Jimin on the couch.

"You bought one?" Taehyung asked.

"10 million won!" RM said as he raised up his own ticket. "Only idiots didn't get one."

"You got one too?" Taehyung asked Jimin, who raised a ticket up and smiled at him. Taehyung rolled his eyes in anger. "Oh, you guys are sneaky. Didn't say you were getting one."

"You didn't either!" Jhope said.

"I'm not afraid of you. All my numbers are calculated." Taehyung teased.

"I have the winning numbers!" RM argued.

"Don't let me win." Jhope said as he closed his eyes and placed his hands like he was praying. "I'll have a stroke."

The news came on. "Check it out." Taehyung grabbed everyone's attention. They started counting how many numbers they matched.

Suga's POV

"Where is the location of the wedding?" Grandmother asked. "I know the manager at a popular hotel very well. Other places wouldn't be a problem either."

"The place I work at. The manager said that since we met there, we have to hold the wedding there. I think it gives a lot of meaning to it. My boss is really generous. She said she would give all our guest an order of fried chicken for free!" Pamela and Mr. Min broke out laughing.

Grandmother tapped on Mr. Min's shoulder, making him lean closer to her. "You've found a nice prospect. I am relieved."

"Mom, Pamela is willing to marry me. It's our family's good fortune." Grandmother smiled in agreement. 

"You're too much!" Pamela said loudly as she lightly shoved Mr. Min's shoulder.

"Seeing you two so happy together, makes me happy too." Grandmother smiled happily.

"Let's start." Mr. Min pointed at the food everyone had forgotten trying to change the subject. Lonna looked over at Suga who was looking at the phone he had hid under the table.

'RM is so dead.' He thought when he saw the time.

'The wedding plans are going smoothly.' Lonna thought as she watched her mother and Mr. Min interact. 'Mom and uncle are both happy. Of course, their marrying the person they love.' Kooky's words came unwanted to her again. "It would cause everyone around him...to be so unhappy!" Lonna frown as she looked at Suga once more. 'Can I... continue to like Suga?'
