When I entered in the living room I saw Jimin's mother, means my mother in law.

I don't know but for some reason I felt nervous as I was taking steps closer to her.
Maybe because of the judgemental look that she was giving me?

I stopped in front of her and bowed to her.
.
.
Y/n: Annyeong Haseyo(hello), mom.
.
She responded with a nod and patted besides her for me to sit.
.
I saw Chaeyoung coming in the living room. She smiled at me and I smiled back.
.
Jimin's mother: Y/n, sit beside me.
.
I went to her and sat beside her, leaving some space between us.
.
Jimin's mother: Where is my son?
.
She said, glancing at the entrance door.
.
Y/n: He went to drop his friend, yumi to her as we went to the amusement par-
.
Jimin's mother: yeah, yeah, I know.
.
She said cutting me off.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, Chaeyoung noticed her mother's rude behavior.
.
.
She, then went silent for a minute as she was taking the tea.
.
Jimin's mother: So how's my son? Are you taking a good care of him?
.
Y/n: Jimin is doing well.
.
She put the cup of tea at the table and made herself more comfortable at the sofa.
.
Jimin's mother: These days, I can't even stay in touch with my son as you know how busy he is.
And What about the new house where you and Jimin are living? Did you like it?
.
.
Y/n: Yes, of course, I liked it.
.
I replied and she continues.
.
Jimin's mother: Of course, you liked it after all it's luxurious than the previous one where you used to live with your parents.
.
.
She exclaimed with a contemptuous laughter, with a hint of derision in her voice.
I looked at her. How can she say that?
.
.
Meanwhile Chaeyoung also looked at her mom.
.
Chaeyoung: Mom?
.
Jimin's mother: What mom? I didn't say anything wrong?... Even you know what, Y/n, your father is the one who came to Jimin and begged him to marry you as your father's company was losing its popularity.
.
.
.
I know my father did nothing as she is saying. What is she up to? I wanted to protest but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to give her any chance to say something against how my parents has raised me.
.
.
.
Jimin's mother: And my kind son couldn't say no at all. It was in so rush that I didn't get time to check on his life partner, after all he deserves someone sweet, caring and loving.
.
.
I couldn't believe that she would say something like this. What is she even trying to do? Is she humiliating me and my parents?
.
.
Chaeyoung: Mom, please!
.
She said, taking my side. I silently hoped for Jimin to come and take me away.
.
It's so hard for me. I want to tell someone that it's so hard for me to get along in a new family and strange people.
Where are you jimin? Please, come fast.

JIMIN'S POV

I parked my car in front of the house and went inside to see my mom with Y/n sitting beside her.
.
As soon as my mom saw me her face brightens up and she came to hug me but as I glanced towards Y/n, I saw her empty expression and her gloomy eyes.
.
Did something happen?
.
I looked at Chaeyoung and raised my eyebrows, asking what happened.
.
She just scoffed and went to her room.
.
Jimin's mom: Son, how have you been? I missed you so much, dear.
.
I smiled towards her.
.
Jimin: I'm fine, mom.
.
I again looked at Y/n. She stood up and walked to our room.

TIME SKIP

Y/N'S POV

After having dinner, I went straight to our bedroom to sleep. I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone.

As I was covering myself with the blanket, Jimin entered in the room.

I looked at him and lay down.

I shift to the other side as I felt him laying down beside me.

Jimin: Did something happen?

His sudden question caught me off guard. I looked at him.

Y/n: Why?

Jimin: You are looking..umm..kind of a sad.

Y/n: No, nothing happened.

Jimin: Did my mom say something?

I shooked my head as a no.

Y/n: No, I am just tired.

I lied. I know he won't like to hear against his mom.

Y/n: Sleep well.

After a few seconds of silence, I heard the shifting on bed as I felt the mattress sunk in and Jimin leaned over me.

Jimin: Are you upset because I went to drop yumi at her home?

I opened my eyes and saw him straight staring at me.

Y/n: No, I'm not. Why would I be? I am just tired.

Now, talking about that yumi, he made me more upset. He went silent for a few seconds and I thought he slept but then he spoke again.

Jimin: I am sorry, Y/N.

I joined my eyebrows in confusion and turned my body towards him.

Y/N: Why are you saying sorry?

I asked him and doubt if he did something wrong.

Jimin: I am saying sorry because I behaved rudely with you on the day of our wedding. It was so unreasonable for me to behave that way with you when you did nothing wrong.

He cleared about the matter and I remembered the day, instantly feeling some anger built up inside of me and I did not leave it just here.

Y/N: So, now that you have brought that up, will you mind explaining me why you did that?

I asked him being reluctant and saw him sigh in stress as if he did not want to tell me but then I saw him opening his mouth.

FLASHBACK

Jimin's P.O.V

I wore my tie, fixing it afterwards. As I've heard from my married friends that everyone feel anxiousness on the day of their wedding. I felt nothing.

When I told my mom that I've found a girl for me. I could see disapproval at her face. Even though she did not say anything bad about it, she sure did not bother to hide her disappointment and I saw her un-interestingly taking part in the wedding ceremony and our korean traditional rituals.

I looked in the mirror, fixing the collar of my white shirt as I heard the door opened of my dressing room.

I did not look behind to see who it was, being sure that it must be my mom or friends.

Jimin: Pass me the hair gel, please.

I said and move my hand through my hairs. A hand appeared beside me and the bottle of hair gel came in my sight.

I took the bottle from the person but soon I felt a hand on my shoulder which was slightly shaking. I looked behind me and I froze seeing the people, I expected will never show up.

Jimin: Dad...

Mr. Park: J—Jimin...

His voice broke as he seemed like he was holding back his emotions. I was standing still on the floor, shocked enough to even move myself.

I saw him taking a step forward as he embraced me.

Mr. Park: I'm sure you would never want to see me again. I'm sorry for coming but I just wanted to see my son on the most important day of his life.

I wrapped my hands around his body.

Jimin: It is okay, dad. I don't mind at all.

How could I mind, he is here for me.

Before he could react to what I said, the door opened again, revealing my mom.

Mrs. Park: Jimin, let's go. It's almost the time—

My mom stopped in middle of her sentence as she eyed my dad.

Mrs. Park: What are you doing here?

She said as her tone changed, totally different from the previous time.

She quickly came forward, separating me from him and then standing between us.

Mrs. Park: I don't want this special day to ruin because of you. So, I'll politely ask you to leave this place as soon as possible.

I felt like the need to talk in between.

Jimin: Mom, let him stay for today only and he even—

I stopped myself as I saw my mother turned towards me with her teary eyes which didn't allow me to continue my sentence.

Mrs. Park: You want him to stay? Did you forget the way he treated your mother? Did you forget he abandoned his family? Did you forget how he injured you that left a permanent scar? Tell me, Jimin, did you forget everything this alcoholic has put your family through?

I couldn't fight her back with this, even if I want to, I couldn't. I've seen her desperation. I don't want to deal with their fight again.

Back to Y/N's P.O.V

I listened to everything seriously that Jimin said and since he started he didn't meet my eyes even for once.

Y/N: Jimin, don't continue if you're not feeling comfortable.

I mentally thanked myself for letting this out as he stopped right away as I said these words.

As if to forget what he just said, he turned towards me and asked.

Jimin: Now, you tell me, are you sad because of mom?

I decided to be honest with him as he was with me just now. I nodded my head.

I felt sad thinking about what she said a couple of hours ago. I didn't utter a word further and decided to sleep. I turned my back towards Jimin and closed my eyes, pretending to be relaxed.

My eyes wide opened as I felt his arms over me, not pulling me towards him or something, just staying still. I smiled at this soft touch but it was strong at the same time.

He was being affectionate with me. He wanted to comfort me and wanted to be comforted.

I put my hand over his hand, while still smiling and tighten my grip around his hand. Such a simple touch can be so meaningful without even using words.


NEXT DAY - AT EVENING

I went to the kitchen and saw Anna was making coffee.
.
She saw me.
.
Chaeyoung: Y/n, I have to attend a call. Can you please give this coffee to mom?
.
Y/n: Yeah, sure.
.
.
.
She gave me the cup of coffee and I headed towards living room.
.
.
.
.
I saw Jimin and his mom sitting on the sofa. As I went near them, I felt something slippery on the floor and I slipped.
.
The coffee fell on Jimin's hand.
.
He groaned, feeling the burning sensation.
.
Jimin's mom: Oh! Are you okay, Jimin?
.
She glared at me.
.
Jimin's mom: Have you lost your mind?
.
She took her handkerchief and started to wipe his hand.
.
Y/n: I'm sorry Jimin. I really didn't mean to do it.
.
His mom looked at me again.
.
Jimin's mom: stop making excuses. Is this how you are taking care of Jimin? Huh? You almost burned his hand.
.
Y/n: I really didn't mean to do it. I just slippe-
.
Jimin's mom: Shut up!
.
I looked down but she continued
.
Jimin's mom: I told him at the very first time to not marry you. I had already found someone for him who was better than you. If you are having fun so this is just because of my son, Jimin. Do you think your parents would be abl-
.
Jimin: STOP IT, MOM. THAT'S ENOUGH!
.
He said in such a loud voice that both, I and his mom flinched.
.
Jimin: Even if you are my mom but that don't give the permission to insult my wife. She has already apologized, why are you making such a big deal about it. I'm totally fine.
.
Jimin's mom: I am just saying the truth and the truth is that she is imperfect. I had already found someone wealthier than her family. But you are arguing with me for
.
Jimin: please, mom! She is my responsibility and you have no rights to say anything about her.
.
.
He came towards me and hold my hand.
.
Jimin: Pack your stuffs, we are going to our home.

-IN THE CAR-

I looked down at my laps. I felt guilty, just because of me Jimin had an argument with his mom.
.
I looked at my other side. Jimin was driving to home. I noticed his hand hand, it was all red and I'm sure he could still feel his hand burning.
.
I looked down at my laps, again feeling guilty.
.
Y/n: I'm sorry, Jimin.
.
He stopped the car, hold my arms firmly and pulled me in his arms, hugging me tightly.
