Fireworks

Chapter 28

Jisoo pov :

"Are you sure ?"

"Yeah it's fine, I can't wait to meet them all."

"Okay, do you remember what I said ?"

"Yeah don't worry."

She raises her eyebrows at me, clearly asking me to repeat what she's said more than a dozen times.

"They love me, they're just testing me."

"Yes. Say it in your head when you start to doubt it."

I kiss her on the lips and open the car door.

"Rosie, relax, everything's going to be fine."

Well actually I hope, I really hope so because I have no idea what I'm doing right now.

I don't know how to 'meet the family'. I really don't.

Rosé knocks at the door and I feel the panic forming in me.

I grab her hand and take a deep breath, she looks at me with wide eyes and hurries to whisper scream as if I had betray her :

"I knew you were nervous !"

Of course I am !

The door opens and Rosé's mother greets us with a bright smile.

"Roseanne, Jisoo ! Come in."

"Hi mom."

Rosé gives a tight hug to her mom before turning to me :

"I guess you remember Jisoo."

"Of course I do, she was your guest."

The blush in Rosé's cheeks make me chuckle.

"Hello madam."

Rosé's mother's expression is almost perfectly identical to her daughter's one a minute before.

She looks at me with wide eyes, just as if I had insulted five generations of her family. Like mother, like daughter.

"Oh my ! Please, call me Amelia."

"Oh sorry, Amelia then."

She relaxed her shoulders and smiled.

"Hello Jisoo, it's very nice to see you again, everyone is so impatient to meet you. Come in, don't be shy."

"Don't worry, Jisoo's not shy."

It's nice of Rosé to say that but right now I might be a little shy, especially when I take one step in the house and all the people are looking at me.

There must be fifteen people here.

Matt is first to approach me :

"Jis ! Great to see you, how have you been ?"

"Great, and nice tweet by the way."

He hugs me and laughs.

"Roseanne, did you bring your guest ?"

Rosé's dad appears from what seems to be the living room and stops in front of us.

Well aware that everyone is waiting for her answer, while it's clearly not necessary knowing that her father is right in front of me.

If the 'madame' thing wasn't the first test, the 'guest' thing is for sure.

Rosé gulps and answers :

"Dad. I brought Jisoo, my girlfriend."

Everyone presented themselves to me and we're now all seated around the table, about to start dinner.
