Yoongi was in the employee restroom at work, splashing water on his face. It was Saturday night, the night when he was going to introduce his boyfriend to his makeshift family. He stared into the mirror imagining all that could go wrong. Jin could drive him crazy with his mind-numbing jokes. What if he hates kids and Bora annoys him? Jungkook might bring up some embarrassing story. Namjoon could fucking break him.

His train of thought was interrupted by the vibration of his phone in his pocket.

Hoseok 🌞:

heading over

i'm nervous

what are all the names again?

Yoongi 😴:

don't worry

just remember

Namjoon: tall guy who breaks things

Jin: worldwide shoulders

Jungkook: mf rabbit

Bora: the littlest nugget

Hoseok 🌞:

🥺

Yoongi felt more at ease as dinner progressed and the conversations seemed more and more relaxed. Hoseok was just the boy you didn't have to be worried about meeting your family. Yoongi questioned why he was nervous to begin with.

Namjoon and Jin both voiced their approval when Hoseok left to use the restroom. More like Jin nearly shouted "WE'RE KEEPING HIM! I love him so much!," and Namjoon quietly said, "Me too." while trying to get his husband to just be calm.

Jungkook already approved of the boy by default, as he approved of anyone who could make his hyung happy and get Yoongi out of their apartment at regular intervals.

Even Bora loved him, and she was usually frightened by strangers. At any other time, when someone new joined them for dinner, she spent her time hiding in either Jin or Namjoon's lap.

But all evening, she'd been toddling back and forth to show him her toys one at a time and to share pieces of her chopped fruit. Each time, Hoseok stopped in mid-conversation and accepted these gifts with a solemn bow which earned cheerful giggles from the child.

Now, the food was being cleared away. Jungkook was doing some of the dishes while Jin dried them with a towel. Namjoon, who attempted to assist Jin by putting away the dry dishes, was swiftly shooed back to the table after the handle to a mug came off in his hand. 

Yoongi was just sitting quietly and watched Hoseok as he played with Bora. He was lifting her high in the air making airplane noises.

"Nyaaaaaaaaoooooowwww! Wooo!," he shouted, but after glancing at her yellow shirt continued, "Oh no, it's not an airplane at all! It's a bumblebee. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Bora-bee, Bora-bee, Bora-bee," he said in a squeaky sing-song voice.

Yoongi, feeling himself become the human equivalent of the pleading-eyes emoji [🥺], turned to take a sip of his water only to find Namjoon staring at him with a knowing look.

"Shut up," Yoongi grumbled under his breath.

Namjoon smirked and held up his hands. "I didn't say anything."
