Meeting the Kims (part 1) (1/1)

Jesse sighed for the umpteenth time during that night, her heart was beating incredibly fast, at times she felt it was thumping right against her chest and it was gonna jump out any moment. She kept smoothing her dress hoping she looks perfectly fine, to straighten out any small creases. She was wearing a sleeveless dress; a white top was stitched to a red skirt which reached slightly a few inches above her knees. Her wavy hair was tied in a loose bun with a French braid on the right side of her head, and small diamond studs accessorizing the whole outfit.  She was slightly glad that she wasn’t that overdressed as just earlier that day, Jongin informed her that he was going to pick her up, and take her to the restaurant, as there were some renovations going on at his place.  She smoothed out the ends of her red skirt again and slipped on her gold pumps, just as she slipped them on, she heard a knock from her door. Jesse turned around and noticed her aunt had opened the door and was standing at the doorway with a soft smile plastered on her face, “You look beautiful” she softly commented. Jesse took a small breath and smiled back at her “Thank You, but I still feel I’m lacking something, or have done something wrong” she explained while turning back to her mirror to check  herself again, a small frown appeared on her face when she absent mindedly smoothed her skirt again.  Her aunt chuckled lightly before stepping further into the room and walked towards Jesse. She stood behind her and turned her around to face her. “What you’re probably lacking is your confidence, I’ve noticed that you have been nervous since this morning, you’ll be fine Jesse, If they invited you, it’s because they wanna know who is that special and beautiful girl that stole Jongin’s heart”  she complimented while twirling the loose strand of her hair behind Jesse’s ear. As for Jesse, she just simply blushed and looked down at her golden pumps, “I know his family, like his sisters are soo nice but I’m just scared about his step mom” she confessed honestly and slowly trailed her eyes up looking at her aunt’s  and lightly bit her bottom lip. Jean sighed and gently placed her hands on Jesse’s shoulders,  “I know, I’ve heard about his step mom being “bitchy” at times,  but you have nothing to worry about if Jongin is with you and everyone else likes you, I’m pretty sure one person won’t be able to cause so much damage.  Even if there is still some problem, you can always tell me and tell him, being honest about your doubts and feelings is essential in a relationship; he might be a bit upset about the complaints or so called confessions. But I’m also sure that he would understand and will be there for you” Jesse had averted her eyes from her aunt’s contact but looked back up at her aunt and softly smiled at what her aunt said, she wrapped her arms around her aunt and lightly leaned her head against her aunt’s shoulder “I love you Aunt Jean” Jesse mumbled,  “Aww  I love you too” Jean cooed.  Jean lightly pushed Jesse to tell her “Right, I completely forgot what I came here for, Jongin is here and he is waiting downstairs.” She informed. “I’ll give you a minute” and then slowly made her way to the doorway but halfway there she stopped and turned back aroun
