Joon glared at Hari and then turned to the married couple in front of them, "I-"

"Joonie was selling Christmas cookies in the neighborhood and came by this house," Hari explained, interrupting him. "Since he was wearing his uniform to promote his school, I believe Jimin's parents noticed he went to that school and let him in so we could all eat together. I came by since I couldn't leave my little brother alone."

She passed her hand by the back of his hair making him feel uncomfortable as he looked down.

"Um well, I guess dinner won't be bad," you shrugged as you faced Jimin. "I'll go take Daewon to the bathroom. Tell me if anything happens."

Jimin sat on the couch that was next to theirs as Minji came by from her room.

"Oh my-," she said, noticing the scene in front of her eyes. "Hey Jiminie."

She hugged her brother and bowed at the guests before turning to face him again, "Where is Y/n and Daewon?"

"She took him to the bathroom. She'll be back," he smiled, standing up and whispering, "For now, please help me with them. I beg you."

Noticing the situation she nodded as Jimin's parents came by serving the table. You came back with Daewon and sat next to Jimin. The situation was a bit awkward for the people who went to the school but for Jimin's parents they wouldn't let it be awkward since they engaged in conversations.

"So, Hari right?" His mom asked. "When did you go to Bangtan High?"

"Same year as Minji and Y/n," she said, turning to face you. "Remember? Those were great times."

"Yeah," you smiled awkwardly while feeding Daewon. Daewon looked at the people around him confused as he had never seen them before.

"And this is your little son, right?" Hari asked as you hesitantly looked at Jimin. You held onto Daewon's hand, scared of the things Hari could do.

"Yeah," Jimin said, also holding his hand. "Our little son."

Hearing that, Hari choked on her drink and excused herself to the bathroom. Joon was uncomfortable and you could tell.

"So, Joon. How's your sister?" Minji asked, making him finally look up from his food. "I haven't seen her in a while."

"Well, I don't like to lie to people but it's a bit personal what's going on," he said. "We're just not doing too good for now."

"And, you live with her, right?"

He nodded, turning to face you, "She's my guardian right now."

The rest of the dinner was pretty chill since the tension went down a bit. Jimin's parents were getting along very well with Hari since she was, according to them, fun, outgoing, and intelligent. It left you a little annoyed by the fact that they even invited her to sleep over, and she accepted.

At night, Daewon was already asleep in a little crib that Jimin's parents bought for him as you and Jimin were talking.

"They really like her. Like if she was your girlfriend or something-"

"Don't say that," he said, turning to face you. "She's not my girlfriend. She'll never be anything related to me. You're my wife. Even if they don't like you, that's not an excuse for me to not get married to you."

"It's just giving me issues that she's here on the same roof as us."

"What's the worst that could happen?"

"I'm going to get some water," Hari said, walking to the door as her brother stopped her.

"You're going to bother him. That's what you're going to do."

"I never said that," she chuckled, pushing him to the side as she walked out the door. "I bet everyone's asleep."

"Everyone except you?" She suddenly heard a voice say. Turning around, she saw Jimin grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge.

"And may I ask, why are you still here?"

"Can't you see I'm drinking water?" He said as she walked around the kitchen to be right in front of him.

"I mean why are you still here and not at my house with me?" She chuckled. "Unless you find it hot doing it at your parents house then I wouldn't mind."

He gulped accidentally swallowing a big amount of water when she said those words. He glared at her and said, "Go to sleep, Hari."

"No," she said firmly. "Why don't you have a drink with me? I bet you can't sleep and that's why you're here. Me too, I promise you, I won't do anything."

He raised an eyebrow at her not believing anything but since it was 2AM already he thought it wouldn't be bad. He prepared a drink for her and himself and then sat with her on the couch.

"One only," he warned. As an hour went by they were talking about random things. Trying to not get drunk, Jimin looked for another drink to serve himself. Hari went to the kitchen to see him trying to serve himself the drink but he was a bit too tipsy to do so.

"Want me to help?" She asked. She served him the drink and then walked back to the couch as he followed.

+

"Why are you taking that?" Joon asked but she didn't answer. "Hari! Are you seriously trying to get him drunk? Stop this, Hari."

"Joon, shut up. It's not alcohol. It's a little drink. He'll think it's something else but it's just water."

"Then?"

"It's something else that causes something else to happen to his body. Okay?" She said annoyed. "Nothing for you to know at that age of yours."

Hari stood against the door hearing the conversation Jimin was having with his wife as she then decided to leave the water mix she had done in the fridge. She then walked back to her room to see Joon awake. She heard a door open on the other side and immediately knew who it was.

"I'm going to get some water."

+

"Fuck, Y/n, stop baby not now," he chuckled, feeling her soft kisses on his next. She hovered on top of him on the couch and made her way to kiss his lips. He kissed back immediately enchanted by the feeling of her lips on his.

And perhaps, enchanted by a little mix that a certain someone put in his drink.
