"Huh? A date?"
Jimin tilted his head.
"Yes. You and me, anywhere in the world."
"Tae, that's a vacation."
"Then let's take one! Let's travel around the world together! Take me to all your favorite places. Show me your favorite spots. Tell me about your dreams and tell me sweet nothings."

Tae gets closer to Jimin.
"We legit just came back home from a trip to Spain less then a week ago."
Jimin raises as eyebrow.
Tae pouts.
Jimin raises his hands and cups Tae's face.
"How about you take me on a date here, then we'll plan where else to go."
Tae's eyes meet the corner of the room as he stares off trying to agree to what Jimin said.
"Ok. I'll take you on a date."

-

It's been 10 months sense that talk. Jimin and Tae went on a beautiful date in the little library room. Jimin decided that's where they would do it sense it brought back good memories between them. After that they have had plenty of cute little dates. And Jimin started hanging out with the guys more often. They all became friends. Yoongi hasn't told Tae how he feels, or actually how he felt. Yoongi has moved on from Tae. He has his eyes on his ball of sunshine, and plans to keep it that way.

The boys finally graduated from college! Shiloh is making music, and working on expanding. Tom finally chose to take a step into engineering. Mark is an accountant. Jackson is choosing to do charity work and help expand his project on saving kids from areas in need. Tae chose to go into designing. He's using both his arts and his modeling and putting them into one. Jimin took over as the CEO of his dads company. He also moved in with Tae. Jungkook is now a video game designer and moved out the apartment that he use to share with Tae. Yoongi quit his job and is now working with Shiloh in the music industry. Hoseok dead ass won the lottery by luck, and is making good investments. Namjoon And Jin's business has been booming like usual.

Life is good for all the guys. But, they are going to need each other now. For Tae is going to be in a position of utter pain and devastation.

Tae and Jimin are currently packing their bags to go to Korea. Tae decided it was time for his boyfriend to meet his mom.
"Babe, are you ready?"
Tae says as he entered the room.
Jimin is putting his stuff away neatly into the suitcase.
"Babe."
Tae says softly.
Jimin responds with a 'hm?'.
"Baby."
Tae says again.
Jimin turns around.
"Yea?"
"It's just, it feels so good to be able to call you this. I never thought I'd get to call you a good friend, this is definitely an upgrade."
Tae grins and Jimin gets up and walks towards Tae. He wraps his arms around the younger's torso and holds him.
"Boyfriends."
Jimin whispers slightly.
Jimin pulls away, but before he does he's pulled back in and earns a passionate, forehead kiss from his boyfriend.

Jimin and Tae never kissed on the lips the whole time they have been dating. It's forehead kisses, cheek kisses, neck kisses. But it's never been anything on the lips. In a way Tae wants to engulf himself in Jimin. And Jimin wants to feel Tae on his lips. He wants to know what lies on those honey trailed lips. But unfortunately, they just won't kiss. They agreed on not until Jimin met Tae's mom. Which is completely weird coming from Tae, he's never been one to hold back on what he wants. And he REALLY wants Jimin.

"Alright, let's go."
Tae says as he grabs his luggage. They load the car, and leave for the airport. Once there, Julio helps them bring it in. The boys bid farewell and they are off.

-

14 hours later, and the boys are in South Korea. They take their things and make their way over to Tae's childhood place.
"Welcome!"
Tae and Jimin are at the entrance of the house and he throws his hands up over his head.
Jimin giggles softly.
"Thank you."
Jimin follows Tae to the house and Tae knocks on the door. A few minutes go by and the door steadily opens.

There at the door, is a figure of a small woman. She smelled of cookies and candy. She looked up.
"Oh, baby!"
The woman says with her soft voice.
"Mom!"
Tae opens his arms widely, ready to fully embrace his mother. The woman let's out a small laugh as she hugs her son tightly.
Jimin watch's them share a hug and smiles fondly at his boyfriend.

"And who might this attractive man be?"
The woman smiles and Jimin quickly bows at a full ninety degrees out of pure respect.
"Hello ma'am. I'm Park Jimin. I'm so glad to see you."
The woman is taken aback at how kind Jimin was. She smiles.
"What a well mannered boy. So you're the Jimin my son is always talking about."
Jimin gets back up with a confused look. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Tae blushing.
"Mom! I told you not to tell him!"
Tae whines.
"Oh honey, but you always talk about him and how cute he looks. You were right about the looks. He's a vary attractive man. What is that that you said you called him? You're little blond—."
"Ah, mom I think we should let Jimin come in now. We have been on a plane for a long time and I think we could use some rest."
Tae try's to change the subject fast. While Jimin let's put a soft giggle.

The woman welcomes Tae and Jimin into the house.
"Feel free to look around Jimin! This is your house too."
Tae's mom makes her way to the kitchen, leaving the boys in the living room.
"Thank you ma'am."
Jimin smiles
"Hey. Don't call me ma'am. It makes me feel old."
"What shall I call you?"
Tae's mom comes back in from the kitchen with some drinks in her hand which Tae then takes so she won't have to. Tae's mother and Jimin make eye contact and stare.
"Hmm, mom."
The woman says with a hint of care in her voice.
Jimin somehow feels emotional from that. Tae's eyes widen as he quickly looks up at Jimin and searches his face for a reaction.

Jimin takes a minute to react. He stands there and blinks. In a few seconds Jimin's eyes start to sting and he cries. Tae's mother's eyes widen. She doesn't know what she said that made Jimin so upset. But fortunately, his boyfriend was there to save the day. Tae walks over to Jimin and wipes away his tears.
"Don't cry baby. It's ok. You're ok."
Jimin quickly stops himself. He sniffles a few times.
"Dear, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I'm not sure what I said, but I'm sorry."
"Oh, no ma'am. You're fine! It's just, I haven't had anyone to call mom in a while."
The woman approaches Jimin and Tae moves out of the way. Jimin and Tae's mom hold eye contact.
"It's ok honey. I won't force it on you. You can continue to call me ma'am. If that's what you're comfortable with. I just wanted you to address me as family."
Jimin smiles softly.
"Thank you."
