Everyone was busy in and outside the house, some were busy cooking and some were busy decorating the backyard for the pool party later that day. And, a pretty girl on her room was busy choosing what dress to wear. She cannot choose between the black o blue lacy dress. But after few minutes of staring and thinking, Jimin finally chose the black dress.

"I just hope she likes this" she said as she went inside her bathroom to change.

"Jimin-ah, Minjeong's here already!" her mother shouted from downstairs, she immediately put down her phone and went down to meet her best friend.

"minjeong-ahhh" and she hugged the poor little girl tightly

"let Minjeong breathe, Jimin! and, didn't you guys meet just yesterday? why are you so excited Jimin-ah?" her mother questions. Jimin pulled away, then smiled sheepishly at the girl she just hugged.

"Guess, unnie always misses me, auntie" the girl answered, and Jimin nodded. After a short chitchat, Minjeong and her went to her room to have their time alone. And there they were laying comfortably on the queen-sized bed, head resting on one's chest, and stroking down her hair.

"unnie" her voice vibrated on Jimin's chest, she looked up a little to meet the older's eyes.

"hmm?"

"should we tell them about us?" Minjeong asked. Jimin stopped stroking her hair, and stared at her.

"do you want to tell them now? as in now? or some other time?" the two of them had been keeping their relationship for almost a year that day, having secret dates and other things. Their parents did not suspect them for they all know that they were only best friends. But, they do not plan to keep it forever, of course, they want to be official with their parents' blessings. So, maybe that day was their chance to come out as a couple.

"my parents will also be here later, maybe today is the right time to tell them, don't you think?" Jimin nodded at her, her girlfriend was right. Their family will be gathered that night because of her dad's birthday, and of course, business. Jimin cannot help but to feel nervous, what if they don't like the idea of the two of them being girlfriends? what if they ask them to break their relationship off? that won't happen, Jimin thought

"and, unnie, you look extra pretty today" Minjeong grinned as she sat up, and once again scanned Jimin from head to toe. She just could not believe that she got herself a pretty girlfriend.

"tss, I thought you won't notice" Jimin rolled eyes, eventually, giggling at her. Minjeong just stared with a smile on her face, and she was starting to feel butterflies on her stomach. Auntie, I love your daughter, oh my gad!

"..yah, were you listening to me?" she was taken out of her thoughts when Jimin slightly squeezed her hand. She turned to her with a confuse look on her face.

"I'm sorry, what were you saying?" but her girlfriend just pouted at her, disappointed that Minjeong was not listening to her all along.

"nothing" and it made Minjeong guilty

"unnie, tell it to me please" she begged, having a pleading look on her face. Jimin sighed and held her cheeks

"Its just about my dream of becoming an engineer, Minjeong-ah. And, I want you to be my professor when I finally enter college" Jimin spilled, making Minjeong slightly surprised. Of course, she would want to be her professor, especially now that in a few years, she'll finally be graduating in college. But at the back of her mind was hesitation.

"you want me to be your prof?" she asked, and jimin hummed in response

"why? do you not want to?" Jimin arced her brow

"I didn't say anything like that" she answered, but jimin was already glaring at her, shoving her hand away. Minjeong chuckled at her. Her girlfriend looked so cute with her eyes glaring and pouting lips.

"yah, are you mad at me?" but there was no response, Jimin was still looking the other way.

"I actually want to be your professor, but its still three years away"

To tell you, Minjeong was already in college, on her last year on college to be exact. Though she was still underage, she was accelerated for five years for having a genius mind. She easily aces exam, tops every classes, and passed every university she applied to enroll. Minjeong was one of those gifted kids in the world. On the other hand, Jimin was on her 11th grade, having her own struggle in studying.

"I'm sorry, okay?" she tried to make Jimin face her, but the latter just nudged.

"I'm sorry, baby" Minjeong repeated, and hearing that, made Jimin surprised, and cheeks were turning red. She stared at Minjeong who was smiling widely at her.

"what?" Minjeong asked trying to hold back her smile

"you called me b-baby" Jimin said in a soft voice

"uhh, yes"

"why?"

"because you're my baby, and I just want to" Minjeong answered, still with a smile on her face. And, Jimin was still flushed. Who would not? It was the first time that Minjeong used that call sign or pet name or whatever that is to her, and surely gave Jimin butterflies and a racing heart. And, she cannot explain why she wanted to hear it again.

"and I want to kiss you" even Minjeong got surprised on what she just had said, it was just suppose to be thought but she blurted it out loudly. Both of them had their eyes wide open, and burning cheeks, but still Minjeong took courage and let her urge take over.

"C-can I?" she asked, and Jimin nodded. Their hearts exploded then moment their lips touched for the first time, it was giving them cloud nines. And it felt like it was just the two of them until the door suddenly opened revealing their mothers surprised faces. Jimin immediately pushed Minjeong away, and she was burning red because of embarrassment and, of course, because of their kiss.

"I-- w-we.. dinner's ready" with that, their mother closed the door, and left the two of them with flustered faces. Minjeong let out a nervous laugh before turning to her girlfriend who cannot move on her spot.

"unnie, let's go?"

There was an awkward atmosphere between the couple and their mothers at the dinning, Minjeong cannot look straight to Jimin's mother, while Jimin just hung her head low. The heads of their family took notice of that, Jimin's father cleared his throat, putting his utensils down, then asked

"What is this atmosphere encircling us? Do you have something to tell us?" Minjeong gulped, Jimin was biting her bottom lip, while their mothers threw side glances at each other. With that, the celebrant, once again, cleared his throat, getting impatient with their answers.

"I-- i have something to tell" Minjeong started, her hand was holding her girlfriend's hand, giving it a squeeze just to tell Jimin that it was all gonna be alright. All attention were now focused to Minjeong, she took a deep breathe before letting words slip off her tongue. You can do this, Minjeong!

"Jimin unnie and I are more than just friends.." she paused and turn to the woman, giving her a smile

"yeah, you two are best friends" her father spoke, Minjeong internally faced palm. Even her mother surely had the same reaction as her.

"more than tha--" Minjeong was cut off when Jimin suddenly stood up, holding up their hands that were intertwined. oh gad, Minjeong died internally

"Mom, Dad, Uncle, Auntie, Minjeong and I are dating for almost a year now. Please do understand and please give us your blessings to our relationship. And, I really love your daughter Auntie, Uncle." Jimin fastly confessed causing their parents to choke, while, Minjeong was left flustered while staring at her. She did not expect that her girlfriend would do that, Jimin's sudden courage surprised her. On the other hand, Jimin felt a relief on her chest when she finally let those words out of her lips, a torn was removed on her.

"you what?!" Jimin's dad asked, still with the surprised look on his face. And that time, Minjeong was the one who responded

"We're in a relationship, Uncle. Sorry that we had to keep it from you" she bowed at them to apologize, even had an apologetic smile on her face.

Sitting on the rooftop of the house, the two of them star gazed, hands holding each other. It was one of their favorite things to do, to stare at the wide awake universe.

"It was a relief that we finally got to tell them about us, Minjeong-ah." Jimin spoke, eyes still fixed on the stars. The woman beside her turned to her with a smile on her face.

"yeah, thanks to your bravery" she teased, Jimin just glared at her.

"you were taking to long to confess, so I did the talking" Minjeong giggled as she remembered their fathers' reaction, it was priceless. And, it was a good thing that after few stories and explanation, their parents gave their blessings and supported their relationship. They even cheered for them. Plus, Jimin's mother revealed that she always had a hunch on their relationship because Jimin was never a pro in lying, and her obvious acts.

Jimin only hung her head low and blush furiously when her mother exposed her.

"But I'm really happy, Minjeong-ah. They accepted us, they supports us. And, I think that's enough for us, and we're lucky. " Minjeong nodded, they were really lucky to have who are very understanding and supportive of them. And the two of them will always be grateful. always..

"I love you, Jimin-ah"
