''baby,please don't be nervous''.
''how can i not be??'',he asked with a pout plastered on his face.
''i'm sure that they are going to love you'',you reassured him and kissed the back of his hand.
silence filled your car,soft music emitting from the radio,breaking it here and there. you were currently heading towards your parents' house,which was thankfully not too far away from your own.
the streets were rather quite that day. you kept your eyes on the road,trying your best to concentrate and not get distracted by your boyfriend's sad features. ever since you left your apartment,you had been reassuring and trying to convince him that meeting your parents is not that big of a deal.
you had met his already,but your demeanor that day was definitely nothing compared to his at that moment. his parents liked you a lot and you were sure that yours would think the same way for him as well.
when you finally arrived,you stopped your car at the parking lot,unbuckled your seatbelt and tilted your body sideways to face him.
''hongjoong,please look at me''.
he obeyed,helping you notice the unhappy colors on his face. you gave him a goofy smile and he couldn't restrain his own,that was slowly creeping up its way onto his lips. he ran a hand through his hair and let out a rather dramatic sigh.
''what if they make me break up with you?'',he asked worriedly and genuinely.
you furrowed your eyebrows and couldn't help but chuckle. ''joong,that's never going to happen. it's not my parents who get to decide with whom i'm going to fall in love with. i'm the one that loves you okay?''.
he thought for a bit. ''okay...'',he whispered with a smile.
''good. now let's go'',you encouraged.
you couldn't help but feel excitement all over your body as you approached the door. you lightly knocked it,feeling hongjoong's fingers interlace tightly around yours a few seconds after. you softly squeezed his hand to wordlessly tell him that everything is going to be okay and he reciprocated it,feeling less tense with your presence by his side.
the door opened,not too long after you've knocked it,revealing your mother's bright smile welcoming both of you. she doesn't say anything and merely pulls you into a tight hug,not having seen you in a while.
