Sweet Melodies of birds chirping can be heard as the sun rays pass through Jimin’s window. Due to her lack of sleep yesterday, she passed out to exhaustion the moment she reached her bed last night. Now, she slowly stirred up from her sleep, fully refreshed and at peace.

Everything in her life was in the right place. Her mom, her sisters (also Seulgi), her friends, and Minjeong.

Her Minjeong.

She can’t help but smile and feel fluttering feelings just thinking about it.

She stretched her arms as she welcomed another day when she suddenly heard random noises downstairs. Ugh, Jisoo Unnie’s noisy again. She was planning on staying more in her bed, and maybe dreamed more about her date with Minjeong yesterday when she heard the latter's voice.

Huh? Minjeong?

She had to double-take if she heard it right. She slowly got up from her bed and slowly walked downstairs. "Wow, Minjeong! This tastes really good," she hears Seulgi talking. "Please, Unnie. It’s all thanks to Omoni. She taught me well." Jimin furrowed her brows, she was confused as to what was going on. 

As she reaches the dining area, she sees her sisters and Seulgi on the table, eating, while her girlfriend and her mother are talking in the kitchen. "Good...morning..?"

All of them looked at her. Joohyun and Seulgi greeted her properly while, "Oh the sleeping beauty is here," Jisoo decided to , “Your girlfriend is here by the way. Damn, who knew she’s actually a good cook.” The older Yoo smirked at her, “Jimin when.” She rolled her eyes on her sister's comments and proceeded to the kitchen where Minjeong was, who's now smiling widely. 

"Good morning dear," her mom smiled at her and gave her a side hug. "Morning, Omma," she replied. "I will prepare your breakfast on the table, okay?" 

"Okay." Her mom left her and Minjeong alone in the kitchen. She looked at her girlfriend, while the latter turned around and took off her apron. She approached the blonde girl and gave her a back hug. She places her chin onto Minjeong’s shoulder and whispered, "Good morning."

She hears the other girl chuckled, "good morning to you too." Minjeong turned around, faced her, and cupped Jimin’s face, "did you sleep well?" She nodded as she wrapped her arms around the shorter girl, "I didn't expect you to visit me so early."

"Yeah well," Minjeong tilted her head to the side as she explained, "I didn't plan to stay long as I wanted to return the car to your sister, but I ended up helping your mom cook breakfast." Jimin smiled as she listened. She's happy knowing how her family naturally accepts Minjeong. "So...does that mean...you cooked my breakfast too?"

"Yep," Minjeong was about to kiss her lips when Jimin remembered she hadn't washed up. She stopped Minjeong from kissing her by her hand. Minjeong looked at her, bewildered, "nope, no kissing yet." Minjeong raised an eyebrow and removed Jimin’s hand from , "and why is that?"

"I haven't…"

"Haven't?"

"You know…" Minjeong was confused at this point. Jimin had to gesture a bit for the other girl to get it. She was just conscious that she hasn’t brushed her teeth yet, "Ah...but I don’t mind."

"Yeah, well. I do."

Minjeong chuckled at her, "okay, okay." The blonde-haired girl decided to kiss Jimin’s cheek instead, "there." Jimin playfully nudged her, "you really can't live without kissing me, huh."

"I did tell you before," Minjeong whispered, as she looked straight into her eyes and on her lips, "I really like kissing you. It's addictive." This made Jimin blush. Minjeong was too much of a charmer, she can’t help but feel a mess inside. She nudged Minjeong a bit harder this time while trying to hide her smile. She hears Minjeong chuckle at her reaction. 

She pulled away, "I'll wash up first. Are you going home now?"

"I'll wait for you." Jimin looked at her, confused, "why?"

"I have something to tell you later." Jimin was confused once again, which made Minjeong chuckle, “Just go, I’ll wait for you.”

-------

Minjeong wasn’t planning on staying at the Yoo’s for too long, but she is here.

She should have expected this, especially when Jisoo is there. “C’mon Minjeong, I heard from Wendy before that you're a good cook,” Jisoo as she was dragged to the kitchen, “Show us what you got, siszt-in-law. We wanna know if you're the right person for baby Yoo.” Minjeong was about to retaliate when even Joohyun and Seulgi also agreed. Defeated, she helped out Jimin’s mom, “Thank you for helping out, Minjeong.”

“No problem, Omoni. I am not like Jisoo Unnie.” She hears Jimin’s mom laughed, “so you figured out that Jisoo used you so that she won’t be able to help out.” Minjeong could only chuckle, “by the way she pushed the job to me, it was sus.” She cooked french toast for breakfast. Jimin’s mom also taught her some new techniques in cooking it, so Minjeong feels fulfilled learning new things.

It was then when Jimin entered the kitchen. 

She loves how cute Jimin looked. The latter was in her jammies, a sky blue linen pajamas, to be exact. Typical Jimin. Her hair was in disarray and she was barefaced, a delight to watch. Also, she enjoys teasing the tall girl because of her cute reactions. "I'll wash up first. Are you going home now?"

Minjeong suddenly remembered one of the reasons why she visited the Yoo’s, "I'll wait for you." She sees the raven-haired girl confused, "why?"

"I have something to tell you later." She doesn’t want to spill the beans right away. She knows Jimin enough to know that it’s better if she delivers the news after the latter is eating.

---------

“Wha-what? Lunch with your parents?” She sees Jimin panicking. Good thing I told her now, she thought. “Babe, babe,” she held onto the other girl’s hands, “I know it’s nerve-wracking, If you're not up for it, I can always cancel-”

“No, no. It’s okay, it’s just...” Jimin breathed deeply, “I wasn’t expecting this? This soon? I mean, meeting your parents. Now, officially, as your girlfriend.” The other girl sighed, ”I guess it’s fair,” Minjeong caresses the other girl’s hands in comfort. Jimin expressed her nervousness, “sorry if I seemed like overreacting.”

“Hey, it’s okay. I mean,” Minjeong remembers the last time her parents embarrassed her in front of Jimin, ”my parents are a handful.” The other girl chuckled, “I guess I’m just nervous now that we are official. I always separated my love affairs with my private life, but with you,” she softly looked at Minjeong, “it’s always different with you.“

“I love that I’m the unique one. It makes me feel special.” Minjeong sweetly smiled at Jimin, “can I kiss you now?”

Jimin playfully nudged her shoulder again, “you idiot.” Minjeong smiled at her reaction and went near to capture the lips of the other girl.

---------

Jimin won’t lie, she is nervous.

Who wouldn’t be?

She’s about to meet her girlfriend’s parents. 

Later.

A few minutes from now.

Sooner than she expected.

Even though this wasn’t her first time meeting them, it’s still nerve-wracking.

She glances at the mirror, trying to see if the dress she’s wearing is the right one for the occasion. She wore the summer dress her eldest sister and Seulgi bought for her birthday. She paired it with simple heels and a small bag. She looked up to her face and checked if her makeup was on point, if her hair was on point.

Gosh, I am nervous.

Her phone suddenly rang, it was Minjeong. “Hi, babe.”

She smiled hearing the endearment, “Hi,” she bit her lip, “are you here now?”

“Yep,” Jimin looked over the window. She was shocked to see a car instead of a scooter, “You brought a car?”

“Yeah, it fits with the occasion? I guess,” Jimin hummed in agreement, “I’ll be down in a sec.” She glanced once more at the mirror before going out.

It was now or never.

She’s going to meet Minjeong’s family, her parents, once again. This time, no more lying, as Minjeong’s girlfriend.

She never experienced this with anyone before, meeting their significant other’s family. Even Ryujin’s. Like she said before, she prefers to separate her private life from her love life.

But with Minjeong, it’s different.

Other than knowing her girlfriend’s parents already, meeting the parents makes her feel like her relationship with the other girl feels, 

Deep.

Serious.

Really serious.

Of course, she is serious with Minjeong. She’s taking risks with Minjeong. It just feels more real now that she’s actually meeting the other girl’s parents.

As she approaches the car, she sees Minjeong get out of the car and open the passenger seat for her. She smiles at her before entering the car, “thanks, babe.” As Minjeong re-entered the car, she helped Jimin out with her seatbelt, “I can do it, you know.”

“Just trying to be a gentlewoman here.” Jimin could only chuckle. She stared lovingly at the blonde-haired girl, “You looked nice.”

Minjeong reciprocated, “You too, babe.” She greeted her with a chaste kiss before turning the car on, “ready?”

Jimin nervously chuckled, “trying to be.”

“I should be the one worried here, knowing how my parents will spill the beans and embarrass the heck out of me.”

“True,” Jimin tilted her head and glanced at Minjeong, “can’t wait to hear more shameless stories of you.”

“Oh god.”

-----------

“Jimin!” Mrs. Kim approached her and gave her a warm hug, “I miss you, dear.”

“Omoni,” Jimin reciprocated the embrace. She sees Mr. Kim approaches them. The moment Mrs. Kim let her go, Mr. Kim gave her a hug. Minjeong’s parents then approached their daughter and embraced her.

They settled down for lunch. They were in one of the luxurious restaurants in the city. “So,” Mrs. Kim starts off, “how are you guys now?”

Both girls looked at each other. Minjeong decides to respond, “We’re in a good place, Omma.”

“Good, good,” Mrs. Kim seems satisfied, “When Minjeong told us before that you guys broke up, we were devastated.” Jimin couldn't help but glance at Minjeong, who was giving her a small smile, oh she told her parents about it. “It’s good to hear that you guys are back together.”

“I told you guys that we fixed it already,” Minjeong expressed. Jimin notices the other girl’s ears starting to go red, she’s getting embarrassed. Cute.

“I know, I know.”

“What Yeobo said was right, we were really devastated when we first heard about you guys’ break up.” Mr. Kim softly glanced at Jimin, “we are rooting for you guys to be together until the end.” Jimin couldn’t help but blush. Even though they are still a new couple, not even a year in their relationship and yet, the support they got was slowly getting to her.

“Oh, Yeobo,” Mrs. Kim suddenly exclaimed to her husband, “do you remember when they were still kids? Minjeong confessed to us her first thoughts about Jimin.”

“Oh god. Omma!”

“Yes, yes.” Mr. Kim excitedly replied, “she told us how pretty you were, Jimin.”

“M-me? Really?”

“Yes,” He chuckled, “At that time, Minjeong couldn’t distinguish yet the concepts of her having girl friends and a girlfriend. She told us how much she wants you to be her first girlfriend.” Jimin was shocked as it was the first time she heard this. She glanced at her girlfriend, only to see her hiding behind her hands, her ears red as a tomato. So cute.

“She did?”

“She was so confident, Jimin-ah. So confident that she will have you as her girlfriend,” both of Minjeong’s parents laughed, “and years later she did.” Jimin couldn’t help but chuckle. 

Indeed, she was Minjeong’s first girlfriend. The odds.

“That’s why we weren’t that shocked when Minjeong later on admitted to us that she also likes girls,” Mr. Kim expressed. This perked Jimin’s ears, wait?

Mrs. Kim nodded in agreement, “I guess we can call it Mother’s intuition, but I knew from before that Minjeong swings that way. We were just waiting for her to tell us formally.”

Jimin was surprised by this. All her life she thought Minjeong was straight, who just happened to like her. But she was wrong. “When...was this, Omoni?”

“Hmm?”

“Minjeong admitting...” Minjeong looked at her. 

“It was around in high school, right Yeobo?”

“Yes, sophomore year I think. Isn’t it right, Minjeong?” Jimin glanced back at Minjeong, who was now avoiding her gaze, “Yeah.”

Huh.

Jimin was in her head. So all this time, Minjeong’s into girls. Jimin touched the other girl’s arm and whispered, “Wait, how come? How come you never dated a girl?” Both of them stared a bit. Jimin looked into her eyes and tried to find some answers. Minjeong had an unreadable expression, which made it more suspicious to her. “Uhhh,” Minjeong looked away from her and forced a chuckle, “I was focused on my schooling...at that time.”

Jimin doesn’t believe her.

She doesn’t know why, but she can tell that Minjeong was hiding something from her.
