"I'll treat you well."




•••






Family dinners. They're something I don't have very often because of the busy schedules my parents have. Tonight though, both my father and mother, strangely enough, received the night off.

And so I sat there, fork in my hand as I twirled the strings of pasta around it. My mother had cooked shrimp scampi for tonight's dinner. My table was set up for 6 people (with 3 people meant to sit on either side), so my mother and I sat on the same side while my father sat across from us.

"So, how was that party you went to?" My mother nudged me with a smile as she placed a forkful of pasta into her mouth.

"Party? What party?" My dad asked as he chewed on a shrimp, eyes focused on me.

"Y/N went to a party that a girl at her school hosted as a fundraiser. I allowed her to go because I figured it'd be laid back. Also, Amy attended it with her." My mother gestured her hands around as she always did when explaining something.

"I thought she was just sleeping over Amy's house that night."

"Appa, I'm going to be 19 this year. Do you not trust me enough to make my own choices?"

"It's not about trusting you or not, it's about not getting mislead in the wrong direction."

"My education is always my main priority. I know better than to become a girl who wastes her weekends doing nothing other than getting drunk and doing drugs." I started to become defensive because although I know my father was just looking out for me, it really irritated me sometimes that he acted like he didn't know me well enough to know that I wouldn't jeopardize my education.

"We know, honey. Your father just expects too much from you sometimes." She threw him a glance as she spoke even though she was addressing me.

My father cleared his throat before diving into his meal again, not speaking another word.

Dinner got quiet after that and so I took that opportunity to say the inevitable.


"Mom, dad,"

When I was sure I got their attention as they looked at me with waiting eyes, I spoke.





"I have a boyfriend."

Jungkook's POV:





"It'll never last. Jungkook is too much of a handful." Namjoon laughed.

"Namjoon, with all due respect, if anyone is a handful here, it would be you because you would probably break your girlfriend the first time you touch her, literally." Yoongi raised his brow.

"Tell me about it, this hyung is always breaking things." Jimin joined in as he slurped a noodle into his mouth.

"I think they look good together. I'm sure Y/N can handle him." Taehyung nodded slowly.
