Chapter 19
Jeon Jungkook was shifting in his chair uncomfortably by the strong glance coming from the people sitting opposite to him. He never thought this day would be this stressed but here he was feeling little awkward about the situation.
When Seokjin told him about meeting his parents, Jungkook was excited. Because he wanted to meet the people who had given him such handsome and cute boyfriend. So Jungkook agreed to meet the Kims in the weekend.
Now he was sitting in the Kims Mansion and were sipping the tea while having a small chitchat. Since Jungkook never drink anything, he found it awkward to watch them drinking. So to kill the time, his doe eyes were wandering over the large house which looked like palace.
"So Seokjin how is the shop going?" Kim Namjoon asked while placing his empty cup on the coffee table. Soon two robots picked up the empty cup and went to the kitchen.
"It's good, dad. Even Jungkook is helping me there." Jungkook widened his eyes when his name was mentioned. He gave his bunny smile at Jin's parents who was showing no emotions.
Of course, Kim Seokjin wasn't oblivious to the tension running in the living room .It's been almost thirty minutes since their arrival, and his parents never once talked with his boyfriend.
Jeon Jungkook would have run away the moment Jin's parents glared at him. But because of Seokjin's hands that was holding him firmly made him to sit in the place.
"I see. So what are you going to do, Seokjin? You decided to run your cafe shop for the life time?" Seokjin rolled his eyes in annoyance by hearing his father speaking. He didn't expect them to be like this and especially showing cold shoulders to his boyfriend.
"Yes, dad. I just wanted a simple life and not be the heir of next Kims Enterprises. Also Jungkook and I have planned to get married in the next Spring."
Though there was no saliva in Jungkook's mouth, he gulped hard by seeing Jin's parents' eyes getting smaller by hearing the word 'Marriage.' He could also feel his boyfriend's hands getting little sweat by hearing no response.
"Y-Yes , Mr. Kim. Seokjin and I have decided to get married. And we want your blessings on us." For the first time, Jungkook spoke out by gaining a small sigh from Jin's lips. He was thankful that his boyfriend had took the lead.
"Seokjin, are you serious? Why are we getting to know only now?" Jackson pouted and looked at his son with a worry in his eyes.
"Dad, I told you I will introduce Jungkook to you once he gets upgraded. But I am sorry that it's been few months since he came back and I didn't come here. We were just getting to know each other, and loved our small dates and stuffs.
It's not a decision which we took long ago. Few days ago, I told Jungkook about my interest on the marriage and he told that we should discuss it with you first. So what's your thoughts?"
Kim Namjoon who was having serious look from the first, changed to a soft tone. He didn't expect that his son's robot boyfriend would ask for their permission.
But both Jungkook and Seokjin knew that it didn't happen either. Jungkook didn't suggest anything at all. He just wanted a good impression on his boyfriend so he would tell any lies to make his boyfriend look like a saint.
Jungkook was shocked to hear his boyfriend lying to his parents. But whenever he tried to correct it, he felt Seokjin pinching his skin and warning him to not to do.
"Wow, that's so nice of you, Jungkook."
Namjoon spoke for the first time directly to his son's boyfriend. Seokjin and Jungkook smiled at each other before nodding their heads in unison.
"Thank you, Mr.Kim."
"Oh please, don't mention us with honorifics. We are going to be in-laws. You can call us as 'dad' too." Jackson giggled and saw his son and his son-in-law giggling together.
Everyone sat straight when Namjoon got up all of a sudden by looking at Jungkook with piercing eyes.
"Jungkook, can I have a moment with you?"
Seokjin's eyes widened by the sudden question. He immediately stood up by blocking his boyfriend's body.
"D-Dad, what are you doing? You can speak with him here. Where are you taking him?" Seokjin knew he could trust his father but sometimes, he couldn't find what was going in Namjoon's head.
And he was not ready to let Jungkook with him all alone, and he didn't want his father to manipulate his boyfriend. But he trusted his Jungkook at all times.
He felt Jungkook's hands resting on his shoulder who had got up from the seat.
"That's okay, Jinnie~ I will be alright." Jungkook whispered in Seokjin's ears and placed a kiss on his cheeks before following Kim Namjoon to a room.
"Why is he taking Jungkook to the study room, dad?" Seokjin asked anxiously to which Jackson simply shrugged his shoulders.
"Sometimes I don't understand his actions too, Seokjin. But hey, let's have the dessert before they arrive." And who was Seokjin to deny the delicious cake which his father had prepared?
Jungkook silently closed the door behind him and sat on the sofa where Namjoon signaled him to sit. His eyes were following Jin's father everywhere and paid attention to his movements. Namjoon took a glass and poured himself wine before offering some to Jungkook.
"Mm, I-I can't drink, Mr. Kim!" Jungkook awkwardly shook his head to which Namjoon mouthed a 'Oh' before gulping his wine in one go. Namjoon walked to his table and smiled by seeing a picture frame of Seokjin taken when he was seventh grade.
Seokjin was pouting in the photo while Namjoon was shaking a hand with a robot which was designed first by their sponsorship. His son never liked his father sharing conversations with a robot.
"So Seokjin and you, huh?" Namjoon sighed heavily before turning around to see Jungkook who was sitting on the edge of the sofa and smiling softly by thinking about his boyfriend.
"Yes, Mr. Kim. And I know that you must feel little sad by seeing your precious son spending his time with me. I mean, not only you but many people look at us weirdly. I know Seokjin would never say to me about other's judgemental eyes, and he thinks that I don't know.
But I do know how people look at us and what they talk about us. And I could feel you having doubts about your son being with me."
Namjoon chuckled softly by making Jungkook to stop his little speech. He pulled a chair and sat on it by facing Jungkook.
"Since we were introduced to the world of robots, I know how much my son disliked it. He felt jealous whenever I bought a robot because he thought that I would show more affection to it rather than my own son.
Even a year ago, Seokjin felt like that. I still remember how he came to us and told us that he was going to have a robot boyfriend. We had our own doubts and stuffs It was really a big decision for us to let him live in a small apartment. But we realized how selfish we were by not thinking about his loneliness in this large mansion.
He had everything in this house except one, love. Jackson and I were busy with business and we kind of left out our son in his ways. We both would take the responsibility for that.
We always contacted Jimin on how he was doing, and we also cared about his relationship with you. He was a little boy with a crush and infatuations going in his life. But, I believed that one day he would realize what love is.
And that happened when Seokjin told me that he was going to choose you as a partner. We were shocked at first to hear his decision. And Jackson and I understood how much you mean to him at that time. He was serious about you and his eyes told us everything. So we both wanted to meet that person who stole our son's heart.
Jungkook, I am sorry if I came out like a tough person. But I am really weak when it comes to my son. I will always be careful and be tough if it involved Seokjin. After seeing you both protecting each other, I confirmed that you both are so crazily in love with each other.
I just teased Seokjin back there, and it surprised me how much he cared about you. I know my son is a good person, but with you he is the best one. I hope you take care of him and love him just like you do now.
He might act silly and whine about stuffs, but I trust you with him. Jackson and I made our decision few months ago, and we will be more than happy to include you in our family.
Welcome to our family, Jeon Jungkook."
With that Kim Namjoon stood up and pulled his son-in-law to a tight hug, to which Jungkook was frozen in surprise. He didn't expect that Jin's father would treat him like this. But a giggle escaped his lips and he hugged his father-in-law happily.
The two came out of the office room and gasped in shock to see their partners digging their spoons in the cake and eating it like it was the last day on the earth.
"And yeah, good luck with that." Namjoon pointed Seokjin who was eating it with big eyes and pouty lips. Jungkook could feel himself falling more and more in love with his boyfriend.
