Shoot!

"Jitae, where's your mom?"

"Chicken."

"Huh? Oh, it's kit-chen, honey."I took him in my arms and crawled out from the bed. With my messy hair, together with Jitae, I walked out from the room, following the smell of fried eggs and bacon. I was surprised to see Jiyeon in the kitchen not my housekeeper. "Morning, husband!" She said while setting up the kitchen island with two plates filled with bacons and eggs.

"I hope you are okay with today's breakfast. I gave your housekeeper the day off today." I placed Jitae in the seat next to mine, while Jiyeon gave him a bowl of cereal. She poured a glass of orange juice for the both of us.

"It's okay. It's your home too. I want to tell you something." She stopped washing the pans and instantly sit on the chair opposite mine.

"What it is?"

"Uhm, Mom, and possibly dad, is coming in an hour or so time." I rubbed the back of my neck. Jitae tilted his head towards my direction, confused. I saw Jiyeon froze and her face turned pale. She got up from her seat, and continue to wash the pans, plates that had been piling up. I followed her to the sink area, and turned off the tap. "What are you doing? Aren't we supposed to have breakfast now?"

"What if your mom said that I am not capable to be your wife? What if I am not what she expected?"

Cupping her cheeks I said, "She will love you, I am sure. No need to worry." I can feel her body relax. "Hopefully." She whispered, smiling and runs her fingers on to my messy hair. "Did you really rush to the kitchen just to tell me that? Look at your hair." I nodded.

It feels good to have her fingers running through my hair.

I pulled her from the sink area to the chair, telling her to eat. "Wait!" she said. "If you rushed here--" she paused, "Did you brushed your teeth?" She pushed my back lightly asking me to brush my teeth. I smirked at her and poked Jitae's cheek before running off towards the bathroom to brush my teeth.

"Alright, see you later. Bye."

I was making my way back to the kitchen when I heard Jiyeon talking to the phone. I saw Jiyeon's face tensing up while Jitae was bouncing excitedly in his seat. I cut off the tension air circulating around the kitchen.

"What happened? Who was on the line?"

"Grandmama is coming here!" Jitae squealed.

"Mom, she said, she's coming here too. Maybe in half an hour or so." I don't know what happened next until Jiyeon rubbed my arms telling me to relax. "I am sure, my mom too, will like you. You are like a father to Jitae already."

I gave her a slight nod. "I guess the in- laws are meeting each other today." I shrugged my shoulders.

The doorbell rang around an hour after we were done with your breakfast. The three of us had ourselves ready immediately after breakfast. My stomach clenched due to nervousness.

I am wearing a white loose shirt paired with pants, which to my surprise when Jiyeon came out from her room this morning, wearing a white sundress with a lace design on the top. Jitae too was wearing a white button up shirt, with shorts.

I pressed the button on the monitor on the wall as I saw the person standing behind the door. My parents.

"Hello, Mom!" I opened my arms widely welcoming her. Pushing me away from her sight she said "Where are they?"

Her eyes sparkled in excitement when she saw my wife and son. She dashed past me and when hugging the surprised Jiyeon.

"Hello, son!" My dad said. "Hi, dad. I guess I am visible to you, dad." I said, hugging him. "Forgive your mom, for being excited. She insists on coming last night, straight from the airport. But, I told her that you guys might be sleeping."

"I can see her excitement! Anyways, thanks dad."

I beckoned them to sit in the living area, while Jiyeon made her way to the kitchen to prepare tea and cakes for my parents. Once Jiyeon finished serving their cup of tea, my mom patted the sofa next to her, asking Jiyeon to sit beside her.

"Jitae, this is your grandpa and grandma." I said pointing to both of my parents. Jitae who was sitting on my lap, turned his head to me, confused. "I have my grandpapa and grandmama already." I chuckled at his statement.

"Oh son, I am your dad's father."

"And I am your dad's mother." Jitae got off from my lap and went to hug them both. "Thank you grandpapa and grandmama! I am Jitae."

"What a cute son. You look like Taehyung when he was at your age." My mother said, pinching his cheeks when Jitae gave her his boxy smile.

Jitae went back to his new grandfather and sit on his lap. My mother then took Jiyeon's hand and thanked for marrying me.

"Thank you, for marrying my stubborn son. Though I am sad for not being invited to your wedding." She shot her glare at me.

"Are you pregnant with Taehyung child; that made you guys decided on marrying?" Jiyeon's mouth was opened, shocked by her statement.

"Of course not, mom!" I whined. Turning her head towards Jiyeon she said, "It's okay to tell me, I am okay with it. It's my first grandchild after all! You youngsters have the time of your life. I'm happy! Oh wait, it will be my second after Jitae!" She clapped her hands happily.

"Oh no, Mrs Kim. I am not pregnant. We decided to get married after professing our love towards each other." Yeah, professing our love.

"Don't call me Mrs Kim, you are my daughter after all. Call me mom, or mama!" She pulled Jiyeon into he embrace. "Thank you again, Jiyeon!"

Their moment were cut off when the doorbell rings for the second time. Jiyeon pulled off from the hug and went to the monitor screen to the guest behind the door. Pressing the button on the screen, she went to open the door. I excused myself from my parents to accompany Jiyeon welcoming the guest.

"Hello, Jiyeon!"

"Mom! Why the rush to come back to Korea? Isn't it supposed to be next month? Imagine my surprised you call me this morning!"

"Imagine our surprise to see your face on the news!" A man I assumed her father said.

Right, the news must have gotten out!

"Oh you must be my son- in- law!" Her dad said after realising that I was standing beside Jiyeon.

"Yes I am. Come, I'll lead you to the living area, my parents are here too." I said, gesturing my hands to the living area.

Both my parents stood up from the sofa and Jitae came running towards his grandparents. Jitae was hugging his grandfather when suddenly I heard a loud shrieking sound coming from my mother.

"You?!"

"You?!"
