A Sudden Proposal
Taehyung, the man who said he wasn't interested in Mahiyah, sits down next to her
Taehyung
I apologise for not introducing myself sooner. My name is Kim Taehyung. I'm a high school physics teacher.
Taehyung
Nice to meet you. I've been seeing your daughter for some time, and would like to ask for her hand in marriage
Taehyung bows, next to Mahiyah
Mahiyah was completely at a loss for words
Dad
I see. so you're my daughter's fiance
Mom
how polite that must be because you're a teacher
Taehyung
How kind of you to say so
Mahiyah's parents are completely deceived by his polite demeanor. Mahiyah's parents are gazing warmly at Taehyung. It looks like he wo then over
Dad
what a handsome man! You remind me of myself when I was young
Mom
now, now, he's much better looking
Taehyung
Not at all. Its an honour.
Mom
I'm sorry about him. He gets like this sometimes
Dad
what are you talking about? I'll have you know that when I was young ...
Mahiyah
F-father, mother, this man isn't ...
Mahiyah is flustered. Taehyung tugs at her sleeves. He then whispers in her ears, where her parents can't hear
Taehyung
Do you want them to know your engagement is off?
Taehyung
look how happy your parents are. You'll break their hearts.
Mom
why are you getting so flustered?
Mahiyah's parents look at her questioningly
Mom
you've always been on the anxious side
Dad
you're all red! I guess this is pretty embarrassing for you
Mahiyah
*in mind* I'm not embarrassed, I'm losing my mind
Mom
I'm so relieved to see Mahiyah settle down with a guy like you
Mahiyah's mom looks at Taehyung with a big smile on her face
Mom
Mahiyah insisted on keeping you a secret until we actually got to meet you. We were a little worried
Dad
half excited, half worried really.
Taehyung
I'm sorry about that. I should have introduced myself sooner
Mom
I can't complain since I'm seeing my daughter with such an amazing guy. Good for you Mahiyah
Taehyung
I knew the moment I saw her that we were destined to be together
Taehyung talks over Mahiyah, cutting her off. He glances down and begins speaking earnestly
Taehyung
My heart knew it wanted no other woman but her. I feel like I was single for so long for a reason. To meet Mahiyah and I'm so grateful that I did
Dad
we're happy to hear that you think so highly of our daughter
Mahiyah
*in mind* My parents have both completely fallen for it. Is Taehyung seriously the kind of person to talk about "destiny" with people he've just met
Dad
you got yourself a great man Mahiyah
Mom
I know, where did you find him?
Mahiyah
*in mind* he's so eloquent .. he must be very popular with the ladies
Dad
Are you listening Mahiyah?
Mom
I guess you're smarter than I give you credit for. Where did you meet him?
Mahiyah
You're the one who started itthis lie, you should answer
Mahiyah say to Taehyung with her eyes
Taehyung must have gotten the message because he slowly begins to answer
Taehyung
Actually Mahiyah and I met right here
Taehyung
Namjoon is my baseball coach, My teammates and I started coming here, and that's how I met Mahiyah
Mom
so that's why you had us met him here today
Taehyung
it really means a lot that I got to meet her parents here, because this place holds to many memories
Mahiyah
*in mind* this guy ... I can't believe ... how easily he lies and to think he's a teacher but I can't say any of this in front of my parents so I keep my mouth shut, keeping my irritation to myself
Namjoon
At any rate, it looks like you've all hit it off
Probably thinking it was best to keep things simple, Namjoon tries to finish up the conversation
Namjoon
how about a drink to celebrate?
Mom
we've to catch our plane
Mahiyah
what? you're leaving already?
Mom
we're florists, we've to get up early
Dad
we've a flower shop in Busan or did you already know that?
Taehyung
of course Mahiyah told me all about it
Mahiyah
*in mind* what a liar
Namjoon
come back any time, and stay longer next time
Mom
we'll take you up on that, maybe next time we could visit your new place?
Taehyung
of course we'd love to have you
Mahiyah
*in mind* but there is no new place ...
Dad
Also I heard that your company is really famous, Namjoon. The whole family is impressed
The conversation topic shifts to Namjoon
Mahiyah is relived for a second then Taehyung whispers to her
Taehyung
*wisper* That was good
Taehyung
*wisper* that they didn't figure out that your fiance left you. You saved your parents from heartache
Taehyung
*whisper* thanks to me
Mahiyah
*in mind* he looks like he's up to something ... I think I'm in trouble. But my parents have completely fallen for it. What should I do..?
Dad
Alright Mahiyah good luck
Mom
keep in touch, tell me how things are going
Mahiyah
okay. Have a nice flight home
Dad
I am really relieved though
Mom
I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders
Mahiyah's parents leave in high spirits and she ho back inside after seeing them off. Namjoon and everyone was waiting for her.
Jungkook
you managed to avoid disaster. Good for you.
Jin
lying might not be the best thing to do, at times like that it can't be helped
Jimin
Life is nothing but a series of lies. Deceive or be deceived. Even in love.
Namjoon
Did your parents say anything?
Mahiyah
They looked really happy. They said a weight is been lifted off their shoulders
Mahiyah
*in mind* with that reaction ... there's no way I can tell them the truth
