jimin and namjoon were sitting in jimin's car, on their way to see jimin's mom. they had been switching off driving every thirty minutes and it was now jimin's turn to drive. namjoon felt restless sitting in his seat, trying to think of anything but the fact that he was about to meet the love of his life's mother. it was overwhelming. jimin loved his mom so much and if joon didn't get her approval he didn't know what would happen.
"well... it's about a two-hour drive," jimin said, thinking, "and we've been driving for like... an hour and a half."
namjoon looked over at him.
"so... only a half an hour left?" he questioned, nervously.
jimin just smiled, taking his eyes off the road for a second to look at joon.
"you'll be fine, joon. just like i told you a million times, there's nothing to be nervous about," jimin said.
namjoon just sighed.
"h-how do you know? what if she hates me or-"
jimin cut him off.
"she won't hate you, joon. she doesn't hate anyone. you're sweet and funny and smart. what's not to like?"
"just... tell me what to expect. like... what's she gonna ask me?"
jimin just laughed a little.
"well... she'll probably ask you about yourself. she'll want to hear all about your writing and your-"
"my writing? you told her i write?"
"of course i did," jimin said, "you want to be a writer for a living, joon, i didn't realize it was a secret."
"what else?" namjoon asked.
"well... she might try and talk to you about me. she's very protective, so she'll want to know if your genuine," jimin said, "and of course, you are, so that's not gonna be a problem."
namjoon just fiddled with the ring on his pointer finger, his anxiety getting worse.
"think about it like this," jimin said, "do you have any negative feelings toward my mom?"
joon shook his head.
"of course not. i've never even met h-"
"exactly!" jimin said, "that's how she feels about you, too. she's only heard good things and she's not thinking anything bad about you, so don't worry."
namjoon thought about what jimin said for a moment, feeling a little bit better.
"that's true."
"it is," jimin said, "and i'm sure she's nervous to meet you, too. what you think of my mom matters, too, don't you think?"
joon nodded.
"and i know for a fact she's not only nervous, but also super excited to meet you. she already thinks you're awesome, so just be yourself. that's all you can do."
"... you're right... it'll go fine."
jimin shook his head.
"it'll go better than fine," jimin said, with a laugh, "and it doesn't hurt that you look so fucking handsome."
