daniel x fem!reader, jake x fem!reader
since women aren't so important for the plot, I'm taking everything in my own hands!! a small thing about meeting his mom
☆ DANIEL
God knows why it was taking so long.
Daniel said he needed to walk out for fifteen minutes. It was already double that time, but he wasn't here.
You two were visiting his mom, and Daniel was quite nervous about it. It was the first time you would meet his family, after all!
So why did he stand up so suddenly and leave the two of you alone...? Good question. You'll ask him about it later.
"Maybe..." you said hesitantly, trying to move closer to the meat Seonhui Park was cooking, "...let me help you, Mrs. Park. You must be tired."
She definitely was. The table was already full when you got here and she continued cooking. The woman really wanted to make sure both of you were well-fed.
"No-no! Take a seat, you're a guest!"
Seonhui shook her head, waving her hand at you. You took a seat, as she said, but still close enough to give her a hand if it's needed. It was kind of awkward, honestly, but not because she was treating you badly.
Quite the opposite. The woman met you with such a wide smile, you weren't sure your own mother had ever given you the same treatment.
"I'm very happy that you came to visit me as well. I was so nervous when my son said he's gonna bring his girlfriend."
The woman said, smiling at the cooking meat. The hissing sound was filling the silence and you felt this uneasy feeling inside. She's so kind to you even though it's your first meeting.
"I am very happy to meet you as well, Mrs. Park."
You bowed lightly, making her shake her head again. She definitely wasn't used to this kind of treatment.
"If there's anything I could help with, please tell me."
"I can only ask you to look after each other. He's all grown up already, but..." she paused, placing the nicest piece of meat on your plate, "...just look after each other, okay? Life can be unpredictable."
She was talking from her own experience, it was clear. A lot of things fall on her shoulders in the past years. Daniel told you how much she was working for her only child.
You knew she's nice, but seating right in front of her right now... It made something in your chest to squeeze. Why you're so sentimental all of the sudden?
You bowed again, this time more aggressively. The plate with meat shook from your sudden movement.
"We will, Mrs. Park!"
.
.
"...and then another guy appeared, and one more guy and..."
Daniel swallowed, trying not to talk too loudly. It was already late, his mother was asleep. He was sitting on his knees in front of you, hands squeezed into fists on his lap.
Your arms were crossed, ready to lecture him once again.
"You said fifteen minutes, Daniel."
"I know, I know! But it was..." he gave you an uneasy look, "...Okay, my bad."
You clicked your tongue mistrustfully.
"Wake up early and make breakfast for your mom."
"...Okay."
There was a pause in the air as Daniel gave you a glance. You narrowed your eyes.
"I don't hear you."
"Yes, ma'am!"
You will take good care of him. That's for sure.
☆ JAKE
You really wanted to give her a good impression. After all, she wasn't just Jake's mother, she was the Minseon Kang. You'd lie if you said your palms weren't sweating just from the thought of it.
Jake wasn't helping, actually. Didn't help that he had a very important call as well. Not like you were scared of staying alone with his mother... It was just awkward, okay?
You poured some tea into her cup, making sure everything looked great. Minseon gave you a single nod, her eyes looking at you carefully.
"You're a nice girl."
She said simply. The lighter flashed as she moved it closer to the cigarette between her lips.
"What did you find in my son?"
The question made you look awkwardly to the side, not sure if Jake was nearby and would hear it.
"He's a good person and... We love each other." You nodded at your own words, like you needed confirmation, "And I like..."
"You know what he's doing for a living?"
She cut you off. Not cruelly, she was just kind of forthright. You blinked.
"Yeah... I mean, yes, of course."
"You okay with that?"
Another question, and you had to make a small pause to gather yourself. She really had some authoritative aura around her. And you still wanted to give her a good impression.
"I don't like him putting himself in dangerous situations, but I understand his motives. We talked about it."
Minseon slowly nodded as her keen eyes looked at you carefully. You watched as her elegant hand shook off the ashes.
"Jake followed in his father's footsteps," she said simply, but it was clear she wasn't really happy about it, "But Jake is not his father. Fortunately."
Gapryong hadn't been in this house for a long time already, but you could feel the echoes of his presence. Those walls remembered a lot.
Your eyes followed her as she stood up to take something. A small piece of paper.
"This is my number. Contact me if my son gives you trouble."
Was it an approval?! You took the paper with both hands, giving her a bow.
"Thank you, Mrs. Kang! I will..." your hand moved into the bag, already searching for something to write your number on, "...take my number as well. Call me if you need help at home or just... Or if you just want to talk with someone."
Her lips twitched into a small smile. Not the polite one she was usually giving. She didn't lie, you were a pretty good person. Still a mystery how you ended up with her son.
"That's very thoughtful of you. Thank you."
.
.
"What have I done?"
Jake whispered in your ear as his mother gave him a condemning glance when he came back. She moved to the kitchen to make more tea.
"Seems I'm her favorite now," you showed him the paper with a proud smile. Jake blinked at the number on it, then at you.
"Honestly, I don't think I was her favorite at all..."
"You know the walls are thin, son?"
Jake grimaced. Okay, maybe you are the favorite one now.
I decided to just use mrs in this work because I didn't want to make mistakes 😭 forgive me
