Chosen One (TaeNie, NamJen, YoonNie)

52

- Jennie

"Take your seat, eat with us."
           I have the feeling of wanting to refuse, I can feel a huge embarrassment hitting me second by second.

"Thank you."
          I thanked.

"We really didn't cook much because this Taehyung told us you're coming just earlier, so we have no time to prepare."
         His Mom informed and explained.

"It's fine, Ma'am."
          I mustered a smile and answered.

I was a little startled when I saw his parents eyed him after I answered.

"She's so respectful."
          His brother whispered to him.

And he glanced at me and chuckled.

"Just call us auntie and uncle."
         His father chuckled the way he did as his mother demanded me to call them auntie and uncle.

"A-A-It's fine, auntie."
         I stammered as I repeated.

"Now, let's eat."
         She invited.

And instead of letting me, Taehyung put the dishes on my plate for me...with a smile shaped on his lips.

"He's happy."

I was caught looking at him and I felt it when his mother called for me.

"Jennie?"
         I looked at his Mom with a little surprise.

"Is our Taehyung courting you?"
         Directly, he asked with a smile on her face.

I am a little afraid to answer...
I actually don't know the exact reason of him bringing me here, and I don't know how they know me, how they know my relationship with Taehyung.

"I-A..."
        I stammered and felt Taehyung's hand on my thigh telling me to relax.

"I'm courting her, Mom."
          He answered for me.

"Aigoo, now I know why she's shy all this time."
           She patted my hand with sweetness and gave me a motherly look.

"Why are these people so sweet?"

"Isn't he a burden at times?"
         His father asked, bluntly hitting Taehyung.

"I'm not, Dad."
        Taehyung made a sour facial expression.

I just nodded and chuckled a little.
Then for the following minutes, we ate...
We just continued eating...

But my soul can feel the love between these people...
And my eyes kept watching the way they behave naturally.

His parents asking about few things...
His siblings sweetly will tease him.
Him being happy with his family.

I feel like I want to sleep...
Get soaked under the rain...
And cry alone.

I stopped from eating as I finished first.
I put my hand on my lap, massaged it and fiddled my fingers together.
