"again, thank you for letting me come here, mrs. jo," you beamed at my mom.

we had finally decided that you would formally meet my parents after a few months of dating. my dad wasn't home yet though, but since you had planned to stay for dinner, everything was fine.

my mom copied your expression and smiled back brightly.

"it's such a pleasure to finally meet you! haseul would always come home so happy!"

"ahhhh, thank you! still wondering how you've never seen me when i dropped her off though," you teased.

"you know how it is, comfy couch. i honestly would prefer to first meet you when you're staying. makes it more.... family-like! don't you agree?"

"that is true. i guess the only reason this is our first meet is because i keep bringing your daughter home late.... really sorry about that, mrs. jo," you apologized while smiling sheepishly.

my mom waved her hand around.

"no, no, no! it's all fine! every time she would head up to her room, i would hear her giggle about how-"

"mom!"

my face turned red while you were chuckling at our interaction. i was embarrassed, but i couldn't help but to feel all warm and bubbly inside.

"alright haseul, go upstairs," my mom commanded.

"what? why?"

"your little s/o said they would help me with cooking."

i sneaked a glance at you, but you looked just as confused as i did.

"i did?"

"shhhh. go upstairs, haseul," my mom said while pushing me towards the stairs.

i acted like i went into my room, but sat on the stairs to overhear their conversation. sneaky, sneaky, jo haseul.

"so... how is dating my daughter?"

"h-huh?"

i could just imagine how flustered you were. you were probably staring at my mom while covering your face with your hands.

"well? you heard the question, didn't you? i'm expecting a response," my mom teased you.

"haseul is..."

my mom let out a tiny hum, indicating for you to continue.

i leaned closer to the railing next to the stairs to get a better hearing. i heard you humming, trying to think of a response.

"hmmmm... it's hard to express in words, mrs. jo," you confessed.

"is it really?"

"yes. it's hard for me to try putting things in words, but if i could describe it... warm. everything feels warm near her," you paused again, thinking once more.

"sometimes pain. not what you think though, i assure you. pain as in... my face hurts from smiling so much. my stomach hurts from laughing at her jokes and anything she does."

i hear my mom suddenly burst out laughing.

"my goodness! you truly love her, don't you?"

"of course i do," you responded without a second thought.

"but i will be honest, we do have our arguments here and there. though, that's normal in every relationship, so i think it's fine because we resolve everything in the end."

"nothing wrong with a few disagreements here and there. it would be weird if there wasn't to be honest."

there was a long pause. the silence, besides the noise of cooking, made me realize how stiff my body felt. i yawned and stretched before quietly walking up to my room, jumping onto my bed.

not even ten(10) minutes later, you knocked on my door, opening it in the process.

"haseul? dinner's ready."

i groaned and held my arms out for you to be in. thankfully, you got the message and nearly zoomed towards me to lay down and cuddle.

"you heard everything, didn't you," you finally asked, breaking the silence.

i cleared my throat and pushed away slightly before talking.

"ahem! uh... would you care to explain what you are ever so talking about?"

"you know exactly what we were talking about. don't try to act, jo haseul," you teased.

"maybe... maybe not..."

you pulled me closer and laughed.

"you're so cute, you know that?"

"of course i know. i better be the cutest person you know," i said, faking anger.

"yeah, yeah. of course you are."

"wow. so much sincerity. i appreciate it."

"you know that i mean it though."

"of course. i mean after i heard what you say about me, i realized there's only one person i love like this. you. it's just you."
