Our First Meeting!
* clack clack clack clack *
Mahiyah ran as fast as she can
Mahiyah
*in mind* why is this happening?
Just as she start to run through a crosswalk
Mahiyah hear the piercing sound of a truck honking it's horn
???
you idiot! watch where you're going
Jumping out of the way, Mahiyah fall to the ground
Mahiyah start to get up, but pain shoots through her leg. The pain makes her realize this can't be a dream
Mahiyah
*in mind* I had no idea things would turn out like this an hour ago
Mahiyah
damn ... this sucks!
Mahiyah whisper weakly to herself
it's a nice-looking, freshly renovated Japanese-style bar
Mahiyah
what a nice looking place ...
Mahiyah
*in mind* it's like a sophisticated hideaway. What a perfect place for us to meet my parents.
Mahiyah is here to introduce her fiance to her parents. Joonie Bar is run by one of her relative, Uncle Namjoon
Mahiyah
*in mind* my mother told me about this place, but this is my first time here ... Nervous but also excited
The man behind the counter says rudely as soon as Mahiyah walk inside. Only one group of customers is seated at the bar.
Mahiyah
*in mind* wow ... the inside is just as nice
The man brings Mahiyah some water when she take a seat on the sofa
Manager
what can I get you?
nodding slightly, he walks away
Mahiyah
*in mind* Is that Uncle Namjoon ...? it can't be ... He looks nothing like I remember
Then someone yells out from the bar
Namjoon
All right! Home Run!
Mahiyah look up to see a group of young men excitedly watching baseball on tv. They seem to be regulars, and are enjoying the game when her coffee arrived
Mahiyah
*in mind* this smells so good
As Mahiyah take her first sip of her coffee, suddenly someone is in front of her
Namjoon
huh? is that Mahiyah
Mahiyah look up and there is a scruffy looking guy standing there
Mahiyah
Are you ... Uncle Namjoon?
Namjoon
it is you? I didn't recognize you!
Mahiyah
neither did I ... you've changed a little
Mahiyah
*in mind* I don't remember him looking like this. the last time I'd seen him, I was still a little kid. To be honest, I don't really remember
Mahiyah
um, thank you for telling me about this place
Namjoon
don't worry about it. It's not like we ever get that busy.
Namjoon
Oh yeah Mr Manager can you put in more coffee beans
Namjoon says to the man behind the counter
Mahiyah
Manager ...? but isn't this your place, uncle Namjoon?
Namjoon
The place is mine, but I leave most of the work to the manager, and just hang out around here
Namjoon
it's a nice place, right? I'm really proud of it. But wow, I can't believe that little girl I knew is all grown up now
Jimin
hey, now, Joonie, are you hitting on her, that's no way for a bar owner to behave
A man in white shirt peeks out from behind Namjoon
Namjoon
me? hitting on her? you've got it all wrong Jimin, she is my -
Not waiting for him to finish, the man in the white shirt brings his face right up to Mahiyah
Mahiyah
*in mind* woah his face is really close 😳
Seeing Mahiyah flinch, the man Namjoon called "Jimin" lets out a laugh
Jimin
wow she's pretty. Is she your girlfriend?
Jimin
hey, Taehyung come over here
Taehyung
what do you want?
The man with auburn hair looks annoyed
Jimin
looks like she's Joonie's new girlfriend
Taehyung
oh yeah? i don't really care honestly. I'm more interested in the game, it's getting really good
Mahiyah
*in mind* that's a little rude
Jimin
but I do care, just so you know the girlfriend of the president of an IT company, it sounds like the plot of a great tv show
Mahiyah
the president of an IT company? a tv show?
Mahiyah
A company president...
Mahiyah
*in mind* is he talking about uncle Namjoon?
Taehyung
hey, looks like she didn't know
Jimin
So you are going out with him and you don't know that he is the President of Aikawa Dot Com
Mahiyah
what? the famous Aikawa Dot Com
Mahiyah
*in mind* I had no idea
Namjoon
I was trying to say
Mahiyah look to see a man with blond hair and green eyes standing behind Namjoon
Mahiyah
*in mind* woow what a beautiful man, where he is from?
Namjoon
What do you want Suga?
just as he started talking
Jin
huh? is this girl related to you somehow, Joonie?
behind Namjoon another man was smiling gently
Namjoon
wow! leave it to the lawyer to figure everything out
Namjoon claps the man on the shoulder
Jin
that didn't exactly sound like a compliment
Taehyung
oh, you're related
Jimin
I thought so. I knew she wasn't your type but Jin how did you know they're family
Jungkook
he was talking about it when the three of us went out for drinks yesterday. He said a female relative was coming tomorrow
the curly haired man looks over interested.
Before Mahiyah know it, everyone at the bar is now crowded around her
Mahiyah
*in mind* are they all Uncle Namjoon's friends or something
Namjoon
oh yeah come to think of it I might have told something to Jungkook and Jin
Jungkook
you don't remember? you didn't seem that drunk ... God getting old is so scary
Jungkook
I can't believe you're related to such a pretty girl
Namjoon
yeah, she's really cute, right? but you all keep your hands to yourself, got it? Oh yeah, Suga what were you going to say
Suga
Jhope is about to come up to bat
Taehyung
what? don't hold on telling us things like that, come on
Namjoon
hey keep it down, you're bothering Mahiyah. Let's watch from the bar
with that everyone rushes back to their places, Mahiyah's table is silent, having been left behind
Mahiyah
*in mind* that's was a little weird
The men from before are all back to watching the game on tv, talking over loudly over one another
Mahiyah
*in mind* but it seems that did they take my mind off things for a bit
Mahiyah take a sip from my now cold cup of coffee
Mahiyah
*in mind* come to think of it, its almost time for them to close up. My parents haven't come to Seoul for awhile, I hope they don't get lost
keeping an eye on the entrance, Mahiyah check her watch. She was taking out her phone, to check it for any missed calls or texts ... when
Namjoon
Mahiyah ... sorry about all that
Namjoon brings over a plate of cookies, taking a seat on the sofa
Mahiyah
wow, these look so so good
Namjoon
yeah, they're, give then a try
Mahiyah
thanks a lot, it seems like everyone here really loves baseball huh
Namjoon
yeah. I was their Little League coach when they are in elementary school
Mahiyah
so that's why they watch the games together
Jungkook
Are you guys talking about baseball. Sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier. I'm Jungkook
Jungkook
Do you like baseball? If you do, we're playing a practice game, why don't you come watch?
Mahiyah
Thank you, I don't really understand baseball
Namjoon
who do you think you are, just asking her out like that?
Jimin
Jungkook here looks cute and harmless, but he's fast on the draw so watch out Mahiyah
Jungkook
takes one to know one, Jimin. Weren't you hitting on a pretty actress at the tv station just last week?
Mahiyah
*in mind* tv station
Jimin
was I? I don't remember
Jungkook
must be nice being a successful scriptwriter. You can meet all the pretty actress you want
Mahiyah
* in mind* So Jimin is a scriptwriter ... that's why he was talking about tv show before
Taehyung
hey isn't this your tv show, Jimin
Taehyung, walks over, pointing at the tv
Mahiyah
oh did you write the script for this show, Jimin. I watched this show
Jimin
oh yeah, well, thank you very much
Jungkook
this show had really good ratings
Mahiyah
wow, I can't believe I'm meeting a scriptwriter
Taehyung
He may be, but it's still amazing a guy like Jimin can come up with something so pure and innocent. Oh hey, I'll just be taking one of these
Taehyung takes a cookie, sitting on the sofa next to Mahiyah
Envelope From My Fiance?
Namjoon
hey! Taehyung, don't just take them without asking
Taehyung
why not? it's not like you're running out?
Suga
even though he is kind of is ...
Namjoon
oh, by the way, Taehyung didn't you say you had school today?
Taehyung
Just in the morning, geez! I work so hard for a day off too, but its test week so, well ...
Mahiyah
*in mind* if he's taking tests at school does that mean he's at a university
Taehyung looks dubiously at Mahiyah
Taehyung
hey, I think you've got the wrong idea. I'm a teacher! A teacher!
Mahiyah
oh right .. a teacher of course! I'm sorry!
Jungkook
😂😂😂 you thought Taehyung was a student? did you?
Jungkook
That's pretty funny, I'd kill to be as funny as you!
Suga
That's rich, coming from a professional comedian
Namjoon
yeah he's still just starting out, but Jungkook here's a comedian
Jungkook
so you don't know who I am? Yeah I guess you wouldn't.
Jungkook suddenly looked depressed
Mahiyah
oh I'm sorry I don't really watch tv, and ...
Jungkook
but you just said that you watched Jimin's tv show
He snaps his head up, a grin on his face
Jungkook
You're so nice, I'm in a comedy duo called kookie. I've started performing in different places too
Mahiyah
woow! I'll make sure to look out for you on tv
Jin comes walking over, a streaming cup of coffee in his hand
Jin
This is from the Manager. He said your coffee is probably cold
Jin holds the streaming cup out to Mahiyah. When Mahiyah glance over at the bar, the Manager gives a thumbs-up
Mahiyah took the coffee from Jin
Jin
oh, that reminds me, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?
Jin held out a business card
Jin
nice to meet you I'm Jin
Mahiyah look at the business card and see the name of a huge law firm at the top
Mahiyah
*in mind* wow this law's firm is so famous, I see their commercial on TV all the time
Jungkook
of course Jin'd be all proper huh
Suga
nothing like Taehyung
Jin
they mean I have common sense
Taehyung
are you saying I don't?
Jin
what's wrong Suga? Do you have a cold
Suga
I was stuck in the lab all week so ...
Suga blows his nose with a tissue
Namjoon
you're working too hard
Taehyung
I don't know how you do it, researching new medicine's hard work
Jimin
hey Suga, where's that pheromone love potion going to be ready?
Jungkook
what? I thought you were doing the medicine to make me funnier first
Suga
You're the only one who can make yourself funnier
Taehyung
do u even enjoy it? developing medicine and stuff ?
Suga
yeah, I do it because I love it
Mahiyah
*in mind* developing medicine ... Suga must be really smart
Mahiyah feels someone's eye on her, she look toward Jimin
Jimin
I just had a thought ... this girl ... might be perfect
Jungkook

Jimin
right? this girl is perfect
Mahiyah
*in mind* what are they talking about?
Jungkook
yeah she's pretty, I'm in it
Jin
she's definitely pretty
Taehyung
Average at best, Am I right?
Namjoon
you're calling my family "average"?
Jin
she does seem like she'd make a good wife
everyone looks ar Mahiyah
Mahiyah feels uncomfortable, knowing everyone sizing her up
Mahiyah
*in mind* what do they mean ... wife? They're all staring at me ....
just around the time Mahiyah start to feel really strange about all this, Namjoon claps his hand
Namjoon
listen up everybody
Jungkook
what's this? words of gratitude from the coach?
Namjoon
Actually Mahiyah came here today to introduce her fiance to her parents
Jin
fiance ...? so that's why you're here ... Congratulations
Jungkook
oh man ... I thought she'd be perfect
Taehyung
wow, I guess there's a shoe for every feet
Jimin
i don't care if she has a fiance, in fact, that just makes me want her more
Jin
jimin, don't say things like that it could get you into legal troubles
Jungkook
what? is Jimin finally getting arrested?
Taehyung
the women of the world are all breathing a sigh of relief
Jimin
though I'd rather not get arrested for no reason
Suga
the next game's starting
before Mahiyah know it, everyone expect for Uncle Namjoon is back at the bar
Mahiyah
*in mind* they do everything together
Namjoon
so, when are your parents and your fiance coming?
Mahiyah
um, they might be having a hard time finding this place. we are on a back street
Namjoon
that's true! wait here a second I'll go have a look
Mahiyah
*in mind* its about time my parents got here, maybe my fiance lost too. now I'm getting nervous. Thinking of my fiance and my parents, I smile. Then ...
the door opens , and Mahiyah snap her head over to look
Mahiyah
*in mind* oh its uncle Namjoon
Namjoon has a strange look on his face as he comes over and hands Mahiyah a large envelope
Namjoon
a man just came and said to give this to you
Namjoon
I asked him his name, but he said you'd know who it was from when you see it
Mahiyah take the envelope from Namjoon
on the back is the name "Do Min Joon" written in clear distinct letters
that's Mahiyah's fiance's name
Mahiyah
*in mind* from my fiance
Mahiyah open the envelope where she find a familiar wristwatch and a letter
Mahiyah
*in mind* this is the wristwatch I gave him when we were engaged
placing the wristwatch in the table, Mahiyah unfold the piece of paper
Mahiyah
*in mind* what's going on ?
Mahiyah stare, dumbfounded, at the letter and wristwatch in front of her
Mahiyah
*in mind* Do Min Joon ... this is some kind of horrible prank right? But the handwriting is definitely his
Mahiyah was so stunned that she didn't even notice the letter falling out of herhand
A severe looks come over Namjoon's face as he picks up the letter and looks at it
Mahiyah
*in mind* I don't understand
Mahiyah
someone just came up and handed this to you, you said?
Mahiyah stand up forcefully and dash out of the bar, leaving all her things behind
Mahiyah
*in mind* he might be close
Meeting My Parents?
that was all an hour ago ...
In that moment everything changed
Mahiyah
Why ... why did it turn out like this?
Mahiyah's knees hurt from hitting it on the concrete. Mahiyah sat at the side of the road, powerless. When ...
Taehyung
hey ... you alive?
Mahiyah look up in suprise, to see Taehyung looking down at her
Mahiyah
oh ... um, I'm fine
Mahiyah start to stand up, but pain shoots through her ankle. She felt like she was about to fall, but someone reaches out to pull her back up
Jimin
Joonie told us everything
Mahiyah
*in mind* I've to thank them ... for being so worried about me.
Tears start to sting Mahiyah's eyes and the words catch in her throat, so she just smile through her tears
Jungkook
but hey, you'd never be happily married to a guy who would just break it off like that anyways, so no big deal, right?
Jin
but still, it hurts when things like this happen
Mahiyah
um, ... I'm sorry ... I'm ruining everyone's day ... I mean ...
So much is running in Mahiyah's mind, and she try to get a grasp on it all, when
Taehyung
Anyways, no point sitting out here. Come on, let's go back to Joonie Bar
Jimin
That's right. if it's too hard on you, I could give you a piggy back ride?
Jungkook
Jimin ... that's called sexual harassment
Jin
you'd definitely be found guilty
Everyone helps Mahiyah back to Joonie Bar
When they get back to Joonie Bar, Suga is standing out front
Suga
your parents are hrre
Mahiyah
*in mind* oh ... so its time already? what should I do? ... How do I tell them?
Someone pats Mahiyah on the back, so she look up to see Taehyung looking at her
Taehyung
They're your parents, they'll understand
Mahiyah nods and go in the Joonie Bar, where are her parents are waiting.
when Mahiyah go inside, she can see her father and mother already there

Mom
I know, I love the decor, it's so nice
Dad

Mom

Mahiyah sat down across from them
Mahiyah

Namjoon
Make yourselves at home ...
Namjoon goes back to the bar
Mom

Dad

Mom

Mahiyah
*in mind* oh great ... now I really don't want to tell them
Dad

Mom

Mahiyah feeling completely hopeless, she let out a sigh
Dad

Mom

Mahiyah's mom starts looking around
Dad

Mom

Dad
This reminds me of old tv show, that one vehere the girl's fiance didn't show up for the wedding
Mom
