The Kims

Mun meets Seokjin’s parents for the first time.

*Seokjin’s POV*

“Why am I lowkey nervous to meet your family?” Mun asked with a laugh as she sat next to me on the train. “Just think of it as visiting your friends Eomuk and Odeng rather than meeting my family… It’s not like you’re meeting your future in-laws or anything like that!” I replied. Deep down, I’ve been in love with Mun for the past 5 months I’ve known her. I was feeling nervous of her meeting my family for the first time, as if I were introducing her to them as my girlfriend or something. Truthfully, our purpose in visiting my family was to see my sugar gliders.

Eomuk and Odeng normally stayed with me at the dorms, but I recently transported them to my parents’ house, as I will be leaving in about a month for our Wings world tour. Mun had met them before and fell in love with them. She was always so sweet to them and visited the dorms often just to see them. When I decided to go visit them at my parents’ one last time before the tour, I decided to bring Mn along with me to see them… but also to meet my parents… Since she would be alone while I was gone, I thought it would be nice for her to have at least one connection in case of emergency. “Ah, this is our stop,” I said, standing up as the train began to slow down.

Mun stood up beside me and we both balanced as the moving train came to a stop. We hopped out into the cold winter evening and walked down a couple blocks. My parents lived in the outskirts of town, where things weren’t too busy, and as we approached their house, I heard Mun say under her breath, “cute.” I smiled to myself, glad she already liked their cozy house as we walked up the sidewalk to the front door. I rang the doorbell and immediately heard our dog Jjangu barking on the other side of the door.

Mom opened the door, and Jjangu walked up to me and jumped up on me the best he could, as he was rather old. “Jjangu-ah!!” I said excitingly, picking the little dog up as he jumped at me. He then noticed Mun next to me and began to sniff the air towards her, so I positioned him closer so that he could smell her better. Mun looked at him excitedly and said, “he’s so cute!!!” and began petting his head, which he allowed. “He warmed up to you so fast,” Mom said to Mun. “Oh, so sorry,” I said, realizing that I was being improper and didn’t make introductions.

“Mom, this is my friend Mun… and Mun, this is my mother,” I said, setting Jjangu down so I could give Mom a hug and kiss her cheek. “Hello Seokjin,” she said as I kissed her. “Mun, it is so nice to meet you. Seokjin has told me a lot about you!” she said to Mun, causing me to blush slightly. “Not a lot!!” I said embarrassedly as I walked into the house, with Mun close behind. “Is Dad home?” I asked, looking around. “Yes, he’s back in the garden,” Mom said.

“Please make yourself at home, Mun! I am finishing up supper right now!” she added before disappearing into the kitchen, with Jjangu following closely behind. I felt Mun gently elbow my arm. I looked down at her and she whispered, “I like her…” I smiled and said, “she likes you and has been wanting to meet you!” Mun raised both eyebrows and said, “so you have told her a lot about me, then?” to which I tactfully ignored by drawing my attention to the sugar glider cage in the corner of the room. “Ah! There they are!” I said, walking in that direction.

“Eomuk!! Odeng!!” I called as I approached the cage. The sudden noise caused them to stir and come out of their little house. I opened the cage carefully and reached in. I picked up Eomuk gently and put him on my shoulder, then gently put Odeng on Mun’s shoulder. “Hey, buddy!! Remember me??” Mun asked sweetly as Odeng sat on her shoulder, sniffing her hair as he clung to her shirt. “You must be Mun,” the voice of my father came from the direction of the backyard, as he had just entered the house.

Mun turned and bowed politely, causing Odeng to fall off her shoulder. He got into gliding position, but Mun caught him before he could fall to the ground. “It’s nice to meet you,” Mun said as she held Odeng in her arms now. Dad smiled at her and said, “Odeng seems to trust you.” “Mun-ah visited them a lot when they were at the dorms,” I commented, taking Eomuk off my shoulder and putting him on hers, so that both sugar gliders were now with Mun. “I think they like you better than they like us,” Dad commented as he watched.

At that moment, Mom and Jjangu joined us in the living room, and she smiled at seeing Mun with Eomuk and Odeng. “They love you, Mun!!” she said, causing Mun to blush. “Well, I’ve grown to love them… they’re so fun to have around,” she said. “Well, supper is ready! I assume you two are eating with us?” Mom asked, causing Mun to look over at me. I nodded and said, “ah, of course we will eat with you,” taking Eomuk off my shoulder and helping me put the two gliders back in their cage.

We gathered around the table, with Mun sitting across from me, and ate the delicious soup my mom made, which was appropriate for the wintery weather outside. My parents asked Mun various questions… about her work, her family, and what it was like being friends with an idol, and they asked me all about the upcoming tour. “You know, Mun, you would probably do a better job watching Eomuk and Odeng than us while Seokjin is gone… and since you love them so much, would you care to watch over them?” Dad asked. Mun smiled and said, “I wish… I’m afraid my apartment complex won’t allow any animals.”

“Jjangu likes you too!” I said, pointing out how he never left Mun’s feet since we sat down for supper. “Well, you know where we live now, so you are more than welcome to come and visit them anytime you’d like while Seokjin is away,” my mother invited, causing me to smile to myself. It was my goal for them to hit it off, so I felt accomplished in my mission. Mun hated being alone, and I knew that having someone around would be a great comfort to her. She smiled and nodded at Mom. “That is very kind of you, I may have to take you up on that,” she said, politely.

After we finished eating, Mun helped my mom clean up the table and wash dishes while I went back into the living room to see Odeng and Eomuk again. “She’s very sweet,” Dad said as he joined me in the living room. I could feel my ears turning red and hoped to myself that he wouldn’t noticed. “She’s a good friend,” I replied, sitting down on the couch with both sugar gliders in my hands. “You brought her here to make sure she had someone while you are gone, right?” he asked. My father knew me too well.

I nodded. “Her sister is our makeup stylist and is coming with us. I don’t want her to feel like she was left alone in Korea,” I said. Dad came over and patted my shoulder. “We’ll keep an eye on her,” he said before heading back outside to finish tending to his garden. After a few minutes, Mun appeared from the kitchen, with little Jjangu following behind her. “Wow! Why does he like you so much??” I asked, bewildered. Mun sat on the couch with the dog right beside her. She held onto him to make sure he didn’t bother the gliders sitting in my lap.

Mom joined us in the living room, and we continued to talk for a bit until I noticed the time. “I guess we better go if we want to catch the train back into town,” I said, getting up from my seat and putting Eomuk and Odeng back in their cage. “Goodbye boys!!” I said to them as I did so. “Please, don’t hesitate to call me any time! We can maybe have a cooking day or something!” I heard Mom say to Mun as I turned back towards them. “I would love that… your soup was so good, even better than Seokjinie’s! Which is saying a lot,” Mun replied with a small wink at me, causing me to smile.

We both stuck our heads out the back door to say goodbye to Dad, then said goodbye to Mom one more time before heading out into the cold, dark winter night. “So, what do you think of the Kim clan? You now know my whole family except my brother,” I said as we walked to the train station. “I think I love them! They’re so sweet and kind… I can see where you get it from!” Mun replied. “Oh, stop, you’re making me blush,” I joked, though I was definitely blushing.

“I can tell they really like you, though… See? I told you there was no reason to be so nervous!” I said to her. “Yeah… Like you said, it wasn’t like I was meeting my future in-laws or anything,” she retorted, reminding me of what I had said earlier. “Yeah… that would be ridiculous…” I said, trying to make sure she didn’t get the wrong idea and feel weird about us. A cold blast of wind blew against us, causing Mun to shiver. I felt her interlock her arm around mine next to her, hugging it tightly, hoping it would give her more warmth. *Yeah… that would be ridiculous…* I repeated to myself, hoping I didn’t get the wrong idea and get even more attached to the idea of us dating.

how you met series

seokjin yoongi hoseok namjoon jimin taehyung jungkook

The pet store that you worked at believed in letting loose some of the animals during the day. What did that mean for you? Chaos. 

Every day there’s always a cat fight, or dogs that will casually shit on the floor. It wouldn’t be too bad if there was more than one person scheduled at a time, but no. There’s not today. Because the owners, your parents, believed that you could handle it on your own for hours on end before scheduling help to cut back on costs. 

What could go wrong?

A lot, that’s the answer. 

“I just don’t understand why they think you can handle all of those animals, plus the reptiles in the next room by yourself?” Your best friend asks over the phone while you feed the guinea pigs. 

“I don’t know, don’t get me wrong, I love my job. But sometimes, it would be nice to have someone else here, you know?” You close the guinea pig enclosure and move on to the hamsters, but not without tripping over one of the clingy cats that’s demanding your attention. 

“Has anyone come into the shop today?” Her phone rings out now that she’s on speakerphone so you can add clean shavings to the hamster cage. 

“No, just a few vendors picking up bags of feed for livestock and horses.” You wipe your hands on your dirty apron, moving on to the next enclosure. 

In this one, the rats are. You coo at them when they run in circles, excited to be fed next. You don’t make them wait long, handing them their pellets as well as a few treats of your lunch before leaving back to the cash register where you log the feedings. 

“Okay, well I have to go. I can’t be on the phone for my entire shift. But we’re still on next week for drinks, yeah?” You ask. After a quick confirmation from your friend, the call ends. 

You sit there for the next hour, petting the cats, playing with the puppies, and rearranging the feeds to match the species. 

The bell above the door rings in announcing a new customer entering the shop. You stand up and turn around suddenly, popping your head above a shelf. “Hello!-”

A prompt shout cuts you off, making you shout. In the doorway stands a tall man with broad shoulders. His eyes are wide as saucers, with thick lips and dark hair. 

The man starts laughing after seeing you scared, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scream. You came out of no where and scared me!” He puts his hand over his heart and watches you walk around from behind the shelf where you were stocking dog shampoos. 

Once your heart begins to calm down, you put down the bottles of shampoo you had almost thrown and walk towards him, wiping your sweaty palms on your jeans. 

He takes that moment to look at you. You’re much shorter than him, and you have an aura of shyness. The way you avoid eye contact while walking over to him makes him smile, he finds you absolutely adorable. His eyes brush over your curves as your skinny jeans hug your hips and thighs, showing a thickness that he would love to run his hands over. He bets the skin underneath the material is soft. 

Your tight uniform shirt is tucked into your jeans, and it shows off your torso that you’ve been working on with your best friend. He sees the dip of your hips and feels compelled to place his hands there. 

Your eyelashes flutter when you realize he’s slowly checking you out, and you flush. A man this handsome was checking you out, did he maybe see something worthwhile?

“Is there anything that I can help you with?” You cough, managing to plaster a customer service smile. 

He focuses on your lips, a slight frown developing on his when he sees how fake it is. “I was hoping to find this brand of sugar glider food? I heard it’s the best and I only want the best.” He hands you a slip of paper with the printed bag of red sugar glider food. 

Your eyebrows scrunch together in thought while you rack through the brands of food set on display towards the back of the store. “I believe we do have this,” you walk towards the presumed isle with him following closely behind. 

Jin takes this time to think while staring at your ass. You haven’t seemed to show any recognition to who he was, any indication that you knew he was the eldest of BTS. As cute as you are, he can’t risk his career over a scandal, he has to be quite about anything he does. And a fan bragging about Jin in bed wasn’t exactly going to go over well with his managers.

You were quite shorter than him, and he found that adorable. He wanted to squish you and tell you how cute you are. You didn’t look too much younger than him, and he didn’t see a ring on your finger. He watched you look on the top shelf to locate the brand of food he was looking for, and she caught his eye.

Your cheeks heat when you realize he’s been staring at you the entire time. “Here’s the brand, but you still have to pick out a formula and flavor to really decide which you would prefer. There are also different sizing options, how many sugar gliders do you have?” Your voice is surprisingly clear and concise despite feeling flustered under his warm gaze.

His eyes shift to look at the feed, mulling his choices over. You take this split second to study him in return, finally. His features were pleasantly soft, and free of any acne. He’s wearing a black Nike cap on his dark hair, while wearing a comfortable hoodie and sweatpants combination. “I have 2, Odeng and Eomuk. They’re quite hyper when let out,” he licks his pillow soft lips, his eyes grazing back and forth over the colorful words on the packages. A cat rubs up against your leg before standing on his back legs and reaching his paws up your leg, asking for attention with a soft mewl. Your hand begins to scratch at the top of the orange tabby’s head without thought.

You blink at his deep voice. “I don’t know much about sugar gliders, but I think that’s a normal characteristic, right? But based on these formulas, from what little you’ve told me, I’d suggest this formula and because there are two I’d suggest this size.” You go into full customer service mode, a small smile on your lips. 

Seokjin pays attention well to what you’re saying, genuinely interested in you and anything you have to say. He examines the choices once more before turning to you, he wanted to continue the conversation, he wanted to know more about you. 

“So do you have any pets?” He pretends to mull over his options more to lengthen his time talking to you.

“Oh, only a cat, she’s my sweetheart.” You pull out your phone and immediately go to the folder in your camera roll reserved for your special animal. “She’s a tuxedo cat, and she loves belly rubs.” You stand there and show him your only child, and he takes everything in with wide curious eyes, indirectly falling in love with your baby girl as well. 

You hear the front door open again, and you pop your head around to see the shift change. You quickly hide your phone and send Jin a look, nodding with your head for him to follow you. He picks up the bag he chose and follows closely after you, continuing the conversation. “I’d love to meet her, I’m not a big fan of cats but your cat just seems irresistable.” 

You send a grin over your should. You’re surprised that you’re not completely opposed to introducing the closest thing to your heart to him. From what little you’ve observed, he’s charming and kind. 

He places the feed on the counter as you walk behind to the register, sending a tight-lipped smile at the next employee as she hangs her jacket up on the coat rack behind the counter. 

You scan the bag of food, the air between you and Jin is tense now. Neither of you know how to continue the conversation, the fact that a new set of ears nearby brings a stop to Jin’s plans to ask you for coffee.

After scanning the bag of food, you hit enter “your total is 22,500 won, sir”

“Oh, my name is Seokjin, call me Jin” he shoots finger guns at you with one hand while the other reaches into his pocket to grab his wallet.

You shift from one foot to the other, taking a side glance at your co-worker who is standing there waiting for you to clock out so she can clock in. You clear your throat and look at him, “my name is y/n”

Seokjin mumbles your name as he hands you the correct amount. “That’s a pretty name” he lets his fingertips graze your hand as yours close around the currency. You gulp and look into his warm eyes.

He opens his mouth to blurt out an invitation to dinner when your co-worker butts in “can you guys flirt after you clock out?”

You jump away from each other at her words, and you hurriedly finish the transaction. As you’re handing back his receipt, you make sure to catch his eyes as you do.

At first, Seokjin thought you were going to say your goodbyes and never see each other again. But he noticed a spark in your eye and a smile on your pretty lips. You began, “i just need to clock out and grab my jacket. Would you meet me outside?”

He’s nodding and grabbing the food before he can think, the prospect of seeing you for even a few more minutes sets his stomach into a frenzy and his heart on double time.

As he stands outside waiting for you, bag of feed already loaded into his car, he slides his mask back over his face to hide his identity to anyone on the streets that could possibly recognize him. BTS has began to really grow in popularity and he decided he didn’t need any body guards with him today, he didn’t plan on staying out long; until he met you.

He didn’t know what it was. There was something about you that drew him to you. He wanted to know more about you.

The ding of the door to the shop alerts Jin of your departure from work. You have on a large hoodie over your work shirt and a small bag on your shoulder. Seokjin spots your coworker behind you with a smirk on her lips, watching you approach him with a blazing blush across your cheeks.

You tuck your hair behind your ear, trying to forget the sex positions your coworker had told you to try out on Seokjin. You were absolutely mortified when the words poured out of her lips, the suggestions lewd and kinky, but you couldn’t deny they weren’t hot. But you literally just met the guy, and as attractive he is, especially his shoulder to waist ratio that almost had you drooling that you noticed when he turned to walk out the door.

“Hey”

“Hi”

More awkward silence.

Seokjin wants to kick himself. He thought thoroughly as to what to say when you walked out, but now he sees you here, every thought he had flew out the window. Seokjin is in the middle of trying to come up with something when something is suddenly in his line of vision.

“W-would you like to go out for lunch at this doggy cafe across town sometime? If you put your phone number in, I-I can text you a time and day...” you were so nervous that you rushed your words so fast that your syllables blurred together and your outstretched hands started to slightly shake, therefor shaking the phone that you held up to him that had a fresh contact open for his convinence.

He instantly deflates with a smile on his lips and a fond look in his eye. He decided that he wanted you. You made yourself look so small with the way you avoided looking at him that made him silently coo. He slides his hands under yours to support the phone, and chuckles.

“y/n”

Your eyes snap to meet his at the soft tone. He looks back at you and pouts his kissable lips “you’re literally so cute, how could i say no?”
