"You're really beautiful." Taehyung's mother greets you with these words as you step in their house.

With Taehyung's hand on the small of your back, guiding you in, you shy away. "Thank you, ma'am." You replied and the red headed boy can't help but to chuckle.

"And really cute too." He adds as he stare at you.

You were surprised when the red headed boy said that you should meet his mother. You don't know why, but maybe because you're his friend. Jungkook met your father because he is your friend, Taehyung also met your father with the same reason and its only fair that you meet his mother.

But it makes you nervous. What if his mother wont like you? You were blind after all. To be blunt, you weren't that typical girl that any mother would like. You were incomplete and you can't take care of their son, what is to like? If anything, you are just a baggage to Taehyung.

You were anxious. Stress creeps inside you. But Taehyung said that his mother insists so. So you agreed, although your hands were sweating and shaking.

"Its so nice meeting you. My son always loved talking about you and I just can't wait to see his girl." You blush, hearing that Taehyung talks about you to his mother and how she called you his girl.

You sat on a table for dinner, Taehyung was beside you the whole time while his mother smiled widely at you. Although you can't see it, she was really happy seeing you and overwhelmed by your beauty.

You were a fine lady, and she can't be more proud of her son's choice.

"I-I...we're just friends." You said before his mother could conclude anything.

But his mother didn't believed you. With the gestures Taehyung showed you, she believed actions speak louder than words. But thinking that she might make you feel uncomfortable, she just gave in.

His mother pouts. "Still, I'm glad Taehyung met you." She said and you felt Taehyung's fingers play with your hair.

"I'm glad that I met him too. Your son, he's really something. Thank you for giving birth to him." You said as you chuckled. You talk like Taehyung isn't there beside you.

But its true, you were more than thankful of Taehyung's existance and there is nothing more right than to thank his mother.

Like always, Taehyung filled your plate with the dish his mother cooked. Spoon and fork clinking on the plate as he ready your food.

"I'm sorry I wasn't like what you expected me to be." You said as you felt the stare from the older lady. You hung your head low, embarassed of your disability and you felt Taehyung's hand caress your back, soothing and calming you down.

"Oh, what are you talking about, honey? You are what I expected you to be, besides, Taehyung already said that you have lost your sight." She said as she smiled warmly at you.

"How long have you been blind? If you are uncomfortable of answering it, you don't have to. I just want to know." She says. Her voice was really warm, like your mother's and you can't help but relax.

"Its been five years." You said.

"Oh. And you haven't found any donor?" She said. Sadness laced in her voice.

You shake your head. "We haven't. But we're still looking for one." You said as you felt Taehyung's hand grip yours.

Taehyung always wanted for you to see and with that, you just can't seem to give up. If he wants you to see, then you will do your best to find one.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find one in a matter of time. Just don't lose hope." The older lady said as she watched the both of you.

Only wishing for both of your happiness.

The rest of your evening was spent talking about Taehyung's childhood and how bad he was before he met you. Taehyung's mother also said how she loves gardening and that maybe in the future the both of you could have a bonding. She also said how he's husband loved teas and how Taehyung disliked teas.

You only laughed when she mentioned embarrassing moments of the red headed boy and Taehyung could only bury his face on your arm. She also told you how her marriage was with Taehyung's father. She said it like it was so magical, and how she missed him everyday.

When it was past 10 p.m., Taehyung decided to take you home. You said your goodbyes with Mrs. Kim and how she said that she would want you back in her house again. Finally, she gave you a warm hug before wishing for your safety and health.

Mrs. Kim was a very warm woman. She knows how to sooth you and how to make you feel comfortable.

"You're so lucky with your Mom." You commented as Taehyung drove you home.

He nods. "Yeah, I am more than lucky. I don't know what I'd do without her." He says and you can't help but to smile.

It was obvious Taehyung loves and cherishes his mother more than anything. Even more than you. And you can't help but be proud of him. Not many guys out there are proud about their parents or can show affection towards them with other people in the room.

But Taehyung was different. He was always different.

Taehyung greeted your father and he made sure to tuck you in your bed before he leaves.

Not long after his departure, your door opened again. Creaking as it swing slowly. Footsteps coming in your room.

You heard the newcomer's breathing. "Jungkook?" You ask.

"Hi. I just made sure you're home." He said in a sweet tone and you can't help but smile. He sat down beside you.

It was like you have a brother when you are with him. Jungkook wasn't only a friend, he was also the brother you never had.

"Mmm. I met Taehyung's mother today." You said as you yawned.

"And?"

"And she was lovely. Like her son." You giggled, remembering the older lady in the Kim's household.

"Jungkook, how do you know if you love someone?" You suddenly said.

He caress your head. "If you feel happy with them. If they can bring you joy, peace and safety. If you can accept them with who they are. If you can conquer the world with that person beside you." He says like he was unsure of it.

He held your hand then places it on the top of your chest. "If you feel like this is going to pop whenever you are with that person but you also feel at peace." He says.

"Its hard to explain. But you'll know it when you feel it." He finally ends his explanation there and you smile.

"I hope you find someone you will love forever, Jungkook." You whispered as you felt yourself falling into sleep.

"Same to you, Y/n." He whispered back as he slowly stood up and quietly exited your room.
