Taehyung's P.O.V

"Get dressed Taehyung! The Parks are coming over for dinner".

The console in my hand crashes to the ground, worrying my mother on top of the stairs. I slowly lift my head to the hallway where she's standing with crossed arms.

"Did you say Park?", I ask in disbelief, shaking a little.

"Yes, Park as in Jimin Park your boyfriend. You know they're good friends of the family", she tilts her head with a confused expression on her face. I mentally hit myself for not telling my parents I broke up with him. The bed bounces when I jump off it and I pause the videogame on the television.

"Mom I-", I turn around only to find the spot where she once stood empty.

"Great", I mumble sarcastically, walking over to my closet to pull out some clothes. A pair of bleached jeans and a fancy black shirt are my outfit for tonight. I don't really want to dress up for the Parks and especially not for my ex-boyfriend. I think about faking a fever or a stomachache but my mother can see right through me and it wouldn't help the already tense atmosphere between us.

I don't necessarily need to talk with Jimin as long as I stay at the table with the adults. I huff and go downstairs to wait for the hell family to arrive. I wonder if I should text Jungkook for moral support, but why would I depend so much on him? Why would his words calm me down? I shove my phone back in my jeans and rub my sweaty palms on the couch.

The bell breaks my slow mental breakdown and I hear my mom yelling to get the door. The walk to the door feels like a walk to hell, a place I'm sure of Jimin will end up in. As soon as I open the door I'm met with Jimin's smiling face, that expression with little crescent eyes that I once loved.

"Hello there Taehyung", Mrs. Park draws my attention away from her son and smiles at me, "Thanks for having us over".

I open the door fully to let them in and accept the bottle of wine her husband gives me. "You should thank my mother for that", I smile nervously, gulping as Jimin walks past, his skirt ruffling and touching my leg. I see him glance at me sideways and I need to collect myself for a minute when they disappear into the living room.

"Get your shit together Taehyung", I mumble, hitting the side of my head with the palm of my hand.

"Taehyung!", my mom yells and I jog to the living room where everyone is sitting down, "You can sit next to Jimin".

I try not to look nervous and act calm as I make my way to Jimin, pulling the chair back and sit next to him. As I shuffle the chair underneath the table I notice Jimin's thighs that peek from underneath the white tennis skirt. Traces of nails raking over his skin are evident and I swallow the tears that are trying to rise away. I won't cry because of him, not again.
