18 | Daddy's Home

"You make me begin."

•••

A father will always love his daughter. A father truthfully hopes to be the only male figure in his daughter's life yet we all know that changes eventually. A father can be overprotective when it comes to the topic of boys and that's completely normal. A father might not want to let any male into his daughter's life because he might feel as if he is basically replacing him.

It's always fun having your dad meet the man who you have feelings for.

Said no one ever.

"Jeon Jungkook, you said?"

"Yes, sir."

"How old are you?"

"20."

My father turned to me with stern eyes after questioning Jungkook like a detective.

"Does your mother know he is here?"

"Yes dad, she does. Also, since when do you come home so early?"

"A case that was scheduled for today got pushed back for tomorrow so I got to leave earlier than usual."

"Well, that's good."

He hummed a mhm before turning to look back at Jungkook, who was as silent as a mouse.

Was my dad that scary?

"Now, what brings you here, Jungkook?"

"I was helping Y/N out with some of her homework. I hope that isn't too much of a problem."

"Not at all. As long as she knows not to get distracted."

"I'm not going to get distracted, dad." I quickly jumped into the conversation.

My father didn't say anything for a couple of seconds and then looked back and forth between me and Jungkook.

"I want your bedroom door open if you guys are going to be in there together. You can stay until around 7:30, Jungkook. Y/N needs to follow her sleeping schedule or else she wakes up tired which messes up her working ethic at school."

"Of course, I wasn't planning on staying too long."

My father nodded. "Alright, well I'll let you two get back to what you were doing. Remember, door open." He then turned around to walk towards the kitchen.

"Yes, dad." I called out with an annoyed tone before his figure disappeared into the next room. When I was sure that he wouldn't come back at an unexpected moment, I turned my focus back to Jungkook.

Sorry about that, I mouthed to him which caused him to mouth back, it's okay. Eventually, we headed back upstairs, tidying up some of my psychology supplies as I replaced them with my physics textbook and physics notes. As requested, I had left my door open a tiny bit. My father didn't exactly specify how open he wanted my door to be, just that he wanted it to be open.

"Your dad seems nice."

"Honestly, for meeting the first boy that's ever stepped foot in this house, he handled it quite well."

"Well, now that we've discussed going into a relationship in the future, I think having your father warm up to me is probably one of the top things on my bucket list."

"He will eventually. He just has to get to know you more. Right now, he thinks of you as just a friend so he probably doesn't care too much about you, no offense. He would really only get fussy if you're my boyfriend. Then, shit gets serious."
