Jungkook POV.

You know that you are special to someone when they want to introduce you to their most loved ones, their family. 

At least that's what Raj told me, else I didn't have much clue about that. 

When Jimin hyung told me that she wanted his sister to meet me, I might have mentally freaked out and bodily frozen, which lead me to hide myself into hyung's chest for about ten minutes straight. I had never envisioned us being revealed to our families; I didn't think I'd even be going to Korea for another three months till the summer holidays! He first offered me a trip together and then to meet his parents... It was too much excitement for me to take, but after talking to Raji, who most of the time acts as my relationship counsellor (as proud as he can be for being a 'smartass' like he calls himself), I was able to diffuse everything and realize...

Holy bananas, Jimin hyung and I are becoming a thing...

A real thing.

He always surprises me, or maybe I'm too dumb most of the time to realize... how much he values me. Maybe because no-one has ever valued me this way, and maybe because I always felt insufficient in my high school years to love someone else. I don't know, I always thought about myself as a weak-willed and fearful boy when it came to dating someone, making time for them, making them happy and satisfied about being with me... 

But with Jimin hyung it feels like I'm living in a completely new world where my mere presence makes him happy, where my smile makes his heart flutter and he literally goes out of his ways to make me laugh, because he says that that's all he needs to go through his day peacefully. Isn't that the sweetest thing someone can tell his boyfriend?

I don't feel like I need to do something extra to impress him, I can just be myself. I can be as childish as I want, eat as many candies and cry as much as I want when I'm sad. He won't judge me, he will always listen to me and he will have my back no matter what. I'm even in good terms with Enrique currently, to the point that he comes to our dorm room and we even hang out in groups. It was all because Jimin hyung taught me the smart way to handle most of my problems like this one, and through him I feel like I'm growing, becoming stronger and more mature...

Isn't it usually the opposite, that when you get into a relationship you feel restricted and limited? 

It's never like that with us, contrarily, I feel like I have become more independent and responsible after getting together with him because he is such an amazing person that I can learn so much from... Of course we have our goofy and silly moments, but I think I learned to only show that side of mine to him... And the rest of times I'm a much stronger Kookie!

Hehe! 

I'm ready to take over the world!

He is so good to me and of course, of course I'm more than glad, if not thrilled about meeting his sister. I wish I could introduce Jiminie hyung to my family too one day... I first have to make sure my parents are okay with me being with a boy, because ugh... Homosexuality is still an issue back home, but since I never had this conversation with my parents I don't know what their point of view is... 

Anyway, as Jimin hyung said, we will take everything step-by-step! Let's get through this one first.

...

- Babe where is your passport? 

Upon that question my brain takes a break from slavering in enthusiasm of being on the same plane with Jimin hyung, heading to Seoul in no later than 5 minutes, and I swing my hand inside my backpack, now on my lap due our seated position. Only to realize:
