"Mom...I need to tell you something," Taeyong walked to the living room. His mom lifted her eyes from the newspaper to him. She had just arrived home and sat down but Taeyong couldn't wait.
"Yeah, sure," She saw how nervous the boy looked so she put the paper away and concentrated on him.
"Umm...I know you're not gonna like this but...me and Jaehyun are kinda together again."
"I'm not allowing this," She said sternly. Taeyong had guessed it.
"I know but-"
"He's not good for you."
"Mom, pleeeease-"
"You're not dating him. End of discussion."
"Can you at least let me explain?" He looked at her desperately. He waited for a while, then took a silence as a sign to continue. "I really love him and I know that he loves me too. We talked today. He wasn't even the one that broke up with me in the first place. I was the cause of it. I was bad to him but I'm better now. He has only ever been good to me. I could never imagine my life without him. I'm not asking your permission to date him because I will be with him regardless. I just want you to be okay with this."
He heard her sighing. Then he waited and crossed his fingers behind him. The doorbell rang. It couldn't be Jaehyun as he was still working. "I'll get it."
He walked to out of the room to the front door. He was deep in thoughts as he opened it.
"Babe," His eyes widened as he was met with Jaehyun's smile.
"Jaehyun- what- shouldn't you be at work?" He whisper-shouted at him.
"Left early. Wanted to surprise you~"
"But I was just talking to my mom. I didn't get to warn her that you'd come later-" Then he heard steps from behind him. He turned around and she was standing there, looking not so pleased.
"Mrs. Lee, good evening! Sorry for intruding but my boyfriend invited me earlier," Jaehyun bowed at her at the doorway and smiled enthusiastically. Taeyong facepalmed internally. He did not need to say my boyfriend.
Taeyong's mom only eyed them both carefully and noticed them sharing a quick glance with each other.
"Mom, I'm sorry I didn't tell you beforehand. I was going to but I didn't know he would appear this early," He glanced at Jaehyun briefly. He had no idea what his mom was thinking as he couldn't tell by her expression. He was afraid she would forbid Jaehyun from coming their house or worse, make them break up.
"Why do you want to be together so much? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt again? You can't simply ignore that." Taeyong had not expected she would ask that kind of question.
