I finish my makeup and sigh.

Tonight is the dinner and I couldn't be more fucking nervous. It feels like I'm getting the bubble guts all over again! I do a quick woosah before grabbing my purse and going into the living-room.

The boys look at me and their mouths drop.

Haechan: You know I've always missed you Jasmine!
Me: Shove it.

I run a hand through my curls and Changkyun smiles.

Changkyun: You look beautiful.
Me: Thank you.
Jungkook: You should be my date instead of his.
Changkyun: Not my fault you didn't have the balls to ask.

They shove each other and I sigh.

Me: Haechan make sure my babies eat and get burped properly!
Haechan: No sweat. You guys have a good time at the dinner, if the food is really good bring me some.
Me: For sure, let's go boys!

Apparently Changkyun loss rock, paper, scissors so we're taking his car and he's driving. I glance over at him and he looks really good. Jungkook does too.

Me: You two look handsome.
Jungkook: Thank you.
Changkyun: Thank you.

I'm a little nervous, I don't know why because after the luncheon with Jin I kind of know how these people are. Now that their families are healing things shouldn't be so awkward.

But if Clover is there it's going to be...something.

Changkyun: My mom wanted us to all ride together in the limo but there's no way in hell I was doing that.
Jungkook: We've done that the last three years. Nothing but silence from us and forced convo from our parents.

They laugh.

Changkyun: Now here we are a weird blended family. Thanks Jasmine.
Me: Don't thank me, thank ya' balls.

The venu looks boring to say the least. There's a bunch of photographers outside the place, half of these photos are going to be in the magazines and newspapers in the next two days.

Knowing I have these two makes me feel better.

The photographers immediately begins to blind us. Just a bunch of flashes and questions, the security guards let us in and slams the door behind us.

Security: Nice to see you two young sirs again.
Jungkook: Did our parents get here yet?
Security: Yes, they're waiting for you.

The outside of this place maybe shabby but the inside is fancy. Looks can be deceiving for sure! Most of these people are politicians so these tight faced smiles are fake.

"Jasmine!"

Mrs.Im tackles me into a hug as if we haven't seen each other yesterday. Her husband chuckles pulling her away so Mrs.Jeon can hug me.

Mrs.Jeon: You're so gorgeous, this dress is so pretty too.
Me: Thank you!
Mr.Jeon: I hope you enjoy yourself tonight Jasmine.
Mrs.Jeon: Honey nobody enjoys themselves at these things.

The waiter comes by with a tray of champagne. Not my favorite kind of liquor but judging from what happened last time I drunk around these two this might be enough.

As for the dinner part it's questionable.

Clams is the appetizer and I couldn't be more turned off.

Changkyun: What's wrong?
Me: How do you even eat this?

He chuckles a bit.

Changkyun: Here, have some tempura instead.
Me: This tastes way better.

Mrs.Im gives me a look and I roll my eyes playfully. A few tables over is Clover and she's been sneaking glances at the table.

I think our last run in was enough to last a lifetime. I'm not too mad at her, it is what it is. She just has strong feelings for Changkyun which I get..

He's something else.

I smile to myself.

Mr.Im walks to the podium to give his speech. He thanks his family and friends for supporting his political endeavors but announces his retirement straight after. The reason was to focus on his family more and then...

Mr.Im: Including my newborn grandchildren.

Jungkook, Changkyun and I choke.

Gasps are heard throughout the room and they begin to whisper.

Mr.Im: My son has been misunderstood for a long time throughout the community. But to be quite honest he's a better man than me, a smarter more gentler man than me. I'm proud to have him as my son.

The lightest shade of pink covers Changkyun's face making me smile. He may act like a badass but at the end of the day his dad acknowledging him makes a world of a difference.

After the speech and dinner, the party carried on. Many people tell Changkyun congratulations while Jungkook and I sit back.

No one knows I'm his baby mother, let alone the other child is Jungkook's and we're alright with that. We sip on our champagne watching him be bombarded with questions.

He makes eye contact with me and I can't help but smile.

Me: Should we save him?
Jungkook: Nope, over the years people have been too intimidated by him to say anything. I was the one they hounded but this, this is nice to see.
Me: You're mean.
Jungkook: I know.

We chuckle.

I send a quick text to Haechan about the babies. He sends back a picture of them sound asleep, drool spilling from their little mouths.

Changkyun: Jas can we talk for a second?

I look at Jungkook who lets out a low whistle.

Oh he's no help.

Me: Sure.

He grabs my hand leading me outside.
