As I finished up cooking some spaghetti I heard the doorbell ring.

Wiping my hands on the hand towel, I made my way towards the door.

I opened it, immediately smiling as I saw mom and Gracie standing there.

"Hey." I smiled, noticing Gracie had a bag in her hands.

"What's that, Gracie?" I asked her.

"It's a gift for TaeTae!" She smiled excitedly.

I giggled and allowed them in. "You guys are actually just in time, I just finished some spaghetti. Are you guys hungry?" I asked and they both nodded.

"I'd love some spaghetti, Selena." Mom smiled.

"Taehyung is in my bedroom, you guys can go see him if you want. He's just resting right now." I told them, fixing plates for all of us.

I heard Gracie running through the house to my room with her bag in her hands and I chuckled, watching mom follow behind her.

I finished putting the food on all the plates and I looked up, seeing Taehyung walking with mom's support, Gracie following beside them.

"Tae, you're supposed to be in bed!" I frowned.

"C'mon, I want to actually be able to spend time with them." He whined.

I sighed, shaking my head. "Fine." I finally gave in.

He smiled with his boxy smile and mom helped him over to the couch.

Gracie sat beside him and handed him her present.

"What's this, Gracie?" He asked her.

"It's a present!" She smiled.

He smiled at her and stuck his hand in the bag, taking out what's in it.

He took out a tiger plushie and his face immediately lit up.

He looked at Gracie with his huge smile, "Thank you, Gracie. I love it."

He gave her a hug and she giggled, hugging him back.

Mom and I looked at them in awe and I finished fixing the plates, walking over to them and giving them their plates.

"Thank you, sissy!" Gracie looked up at me, smiling.

I ruffled her hair, "You're welcome, Gracie."

I sat down on the end of the sofa beside Taehyung while mom sat beside Gracie.

"Thanks, love." Taehyung whispered, kissing my lips gently.

I smiled at him when suddenly Gracie spoke up.

"Sissy, can we watch Ramona and Beezus?" She asked.

"Gracie, this is like the third time." I laughed.

"Pleaseeee." She begged, giving me her puppy eyes.

"Okay, fine." I gave in, grabbing the remote to turn on Ramona and Beezus, a movie that I starred in.

(Okay but for real, I love this movie)

Taehyung chuckled at Gracie's behavior and I got up, placing my plate on the table.

"I'll go get us some drinks, okay?" I said and everyone nodded, paying attention to the screen.

I walked into the kitchen, grabbing Taehyung and mom some coca-cola, Gracie some fruit punch, and myself some water.

I carefully carried them all into the living room and Taehyung stood up, wanting to help so I wouldn't drop anything, but I shook my head at him and shot him a look.

He pouted and sat back down as I handed everyone their drinks.

I sat back down beside Taehyung and finished my food.

I laid my head onto Taehyung's shoulder, covering us up with a blanket as we watched the movie.

I caught my mom staring at us with a warm smile on her face and I blushed, smiling.

He moved his head to place a soft kiss on the side of my head and moved his hand onto my thigh, gently squeezing it.

As we continued watching the movie, the scene where I kissed Henry played and I could tell Taehyung was getting a little jealous by his movement.

His hand gripped even tighter on my thigh and there was a stern look on his face.

I chuckled and he looked at me, a pout visible on his face.

"It's just acting, Tae." I whispered, silently chuckling as my hand made its way to his cheek.

However, the pout didn't leave his face and I shook my head at him, laughing.

I leaned in to kiss him, but instead of actually kissing him, I stopped just centimeters away from his lips.

I looked at him in a teasing way and he shot me a look, his lips traveling to my ear.

"Don't tease me, love." He whispered in his deep and raspy voice, his hot breath hitting my ear.

His lips traveled back to mine and he smirked, teasing me.

He finally placed his lips on mine seeing how upset I looked, but only for a quick second.

He pulled away, looking back at the TV, a smirk displayed on his face.

I stared at him in disbelief, scoffing and looking back at the TV, paying attention to the movie.

Mom and Gracie seemed not to notice the moment Taehyung and I just had as they were deeply invested in the movie.

After the movie was over, I took all the plates back to the kitchen and sat back down on the couch.

"Sissy! Can we go outside, pleaseee?" Gracie begged me.

"Gracie, it's cold outside. Do you have your jacket?" I asked her.

She nodded quickly, taking her jacket from mom.

I laughed, "Okay, fine. I'll go get my jacket, too."

I ran to my room quickly, grabbing my jacket and running back.

I put the jacket on, "We'll be back soon, guys."

I smiled to mom and Taehyung who both gave us a nod.

Gracie and I then made our way outside to play on the trampoline.

I looked at the door as they left, my attention going back to Selena's mom.

"Taehyung, when will we be able to meet your family?" She asked.

I smiled, "Anytime you want, Mrs. Teefey."

"Hey, I told you to call me Mandy, didn't I?" She laughed.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry, Mandy." I rubbed the back of my neck.

"It's fine, anyway, I'd be happy to meet your parents." She smiled.

"Of course, I'm sure they'd feel the same way. They really love Selena." I beamed.

"Aren't they here in America?" She asked and I nodded.

"They are. They're at the hotel with the others." I responded.

"Oh, great. Do you think we could it tomorrow? I won't be very busy then." She said.

"That's great, I'll call them later today." I smiled.

"Perfect. Also Taehyung, I have a question." She spoke and I nodded, allowing her to continue.

She scooted over close to me and held both my hands, looking into my eyes.

"Taehyung, I feel you and Selena will go very far in life. You are the one for her. I know with the differences it'll be difficult, but..." she started, "I want you to promise me no matter what happens, that you'll take care of her and be the best you can to her. She's been through a lot and all I want is to see her happy."

A smile curved onto my lips, "I promise."

She smiled wholeheartedly, "Thank you."

"I love Selena a lot. I will always be here for her if she needs me. And one day, we will be happily married with kids. I know that's what she wants, and I want it, too. I promise to make her the happiest woman on Earth and to take care of her." I promised.

Mandy teared up and pulled me into a big hug.

And just then, Selena came in with Gracie, panting heavily.

"It's been just a couple minutes and Gracie already wore me out!" She groaned as Gracie was jumping around happily.

Mandy laughed and stood up, "We'll be on our way now, Gracie has to catch up in school."

Gracie whined and ran up to me, jumping onto my lap.

"Bye, TaeTae." She hugged me.

"Bye, Gracie." I hugged her back, rubbing her back in circles.

She pulled away and smiled as I held the tiger plush she gave me.

I placed a kiss on her cheek, "See you soon, do good in school, okay?" I raised an eyebrow at her and she nodded quickly, gently making her way off my lap.

She ran up to her mom who stood at the front door while Selena gave her mom a hug.

"We'll see you soon, Gracie." Selena smiled, kissing her on the forehead while pushing her hair back behind her neck.

"Bye, sissy!" Gracie smiled and left with her mother.

Selena closed the door and walked back over to me, sitting down on the couch tiredly.

"Nuh-uh ma'am, we're not finished yet." I raised my eyebrows at her and she looked at me confused.

"Huh?" She asked, confused.

I pulled her onto my lap and my hands made their way under her shirt, rubbing up her sides.

She let out a gasp and I smirked, "This is what you get for teasing me."

"B-but you tease me all the time!" She whined.

I just chuckled, pulling her head close to mine.

"But you love it, don't you?" I licked my lips, then biting my lower lip.

She nervously gulped, not knowing what to say.

I deeply chuckled, my hands still traveling up her sides to her bra.

I was getting frustrated so I tugged on her shirt, trying to take it off.

But she gasped, "T-Tae, y-your leg is broken." She stuttered.

I chuckled,

"But yours isn't."
