"Taehyungie", jungkook called from the dresser where he was doing his night routine.

"Hmm", taehyung hummed from the bed where he was checking few documents on his laptop.

"I am getting bored at home. It's been five months from our wedding, I want to work now", jungkook stated.

Taehyung kept his laptop aside and looked towards his love through the mirror.

"Okay! Are you going to apply in other companies or would you like to work in ours?", taehyung asked agreeing to his husband, because he knows jungkook was not someone to stay at home and do nothing. He wanted jungkook to work since the first month but he waited for jungkook to bring up the topic.

Jungkook sighed keeping his lotion on the dresser and walked towards his husband sitting in front of him on the edge of the bed.

"You know I am not interested in corporate world", jungkook said softly and taehyung understood what the other want.

"You want to start your modelling career?", taehyung asked taking the younger's soft hands in his.

"Yeah", jungkook mumbled looking at their intertwined hands.

He sighed before speaking again,

"I know your, I mean our family is conservative and it's hard for you to talk to them as well, but baby, modelling is my dream and I want to live that", jungkook muttered, eyes holding a vulnerable look which he shows only to one person, because he knows taehyung will never take advantage of it.

"I know, love", taehyung whispered placing a sweet kiss on his knuckles.

"I will talk to mom and dad, alright", taehyung decided to gather some courage and talk to the older couple.

"You will?", jungkook's eyes sparkled in hope.

"Yes", taehyung smiled and brought the younger to his chest before hugging him dearly.

"Anything for my bunbun", taehyung cooed making jungkook giggle.

Well jungkook would have kicked anyone's ball if they call him by these endearing names. But let's not forget, he is nothing but a little bunny in front of taehyung.

It was sunday and everyone was home like usual. Taehyung took deep breaths before knocking on his father's private study room.

"Come in", came a voice from the other side.

Taehyung's inside was twisting in nervousness because he has never asked anything out of the blue from his parents, this is the first time.

"Afternoon dad", taehyung greeted politely as he stood by the couch where hyunbin was reading a file , fidgeting with his own fingers.

"Hmm! What happened?", hyunbin asked turning the page.

"Um! Dad.. Actually.. Uh! I wanted your permission for something", he started gulping hard.

"What is it about?", the older asked still not looking at his son.

"Uh! It's about jungkook..", taehyung glanced at the older who seem unbothered but taehyung knows he was listening.

"He wanted to work", taehyung said starring at the older who put the file down and looked up at taehyung.

"Jungkook wants to work? But why? Aren't you taking care of his expenses well?", hyunbin asked with a frowm because why would jungkook need to work unnecessarily.

"It's not about that. He has a dream that he want to accomplish and start working as a mo-",

"Who wants to work? Jungkook?", he was cut off by yejin who just walked in with a tray of two cups of coffee in hand and sat beside hyunbin handing him one cup.

"Yes", taehyung said and mentally slapped himself because he couldn't say about the modelling thing.

"And why is that?", yejin asked with quirked brows.

"He gets bored at home. He was always busy with studies and all and now he is just sitting at home, so he wanted to work", taehyung said in one breath.

"Huh! If he is getting that much bored why not help me in house chores. If he sit in his room whole day of course he will be bored", yejin rolled her eyes, so done with jungkook's excuses of not helping in household work.

And taehyung didn't have any other words to retort. Even if he does, that would be like talking back to his parents which he won't do. So he looked down on the small table in front of him waiting for their final answer.

"Tell him there is no need for him to work, ask him to drop this topic", hyunbin said in finality not leaving any room for taehyung to speak further.

And the worst part is, taehyung didn't even say jungkook wanted to work as a model but still they denied not even liking the fact about their son-in-law to work.

Taehyung returned back to their room feeling defeated.

"Taetae.. What did they say?", jungkook wrapped his arms around taehyung's neck, with his bambi hopeful eyes making taehyung more guilty.

Modelling is not something that they can be done secretly. One day everyone will know and taehyung don't have any idea what to do now.

Taehyung shook his head with a sigh and jungkook dropped his arm as he let out a frustrated sigh.

"Fine.. I will just apply in your company then", jungkook decided to drop the modelling idea and just work in the company but little did he know.

Seeing taehyung silent like that he understood as he let out a bitter chuckle.

"They didn't even agree about the idea of me working, isn't it? You didn't even tell them about modeling.", jungkook understood everything and taehyung just gave a nod looking down in guilt.

"Wow.. Great.. And why is that, taehyungie?", jungkook asked with a hint of mock in his voice. He wasn't angry on taehyung but on his in-laws.

"I don't know.. Mom said if your are that bored then help her in household work", taehyung said timidly and jungkook groaned loudly.

"In which era your parents are living? I am so done with this shit", jungkook yelled in anger and left the room closing the door with a loud thud.

'I knew you can never adjust in here, koo. That's the reason I didn't want to be together initially and ruin your life', taehyung thought to himself with an aching heart.

No! He doesn't regret marrying jungkook but he is too guilty for ruining jungkook's life. The younger was a free bird with big dreams but just because of his love, jungkook gave up on everything and got married in this shitty family.

If only jungkook could take his taehyungie and run away from everyone, but jungkook knows that's not possible, because taehyung is an obedient puppy for his parents. Also he wasn't that cruel to separate a son from their parents, though he knows kims doesn't deserve taehyung but still the younger loves his family, either way.

Jungkook didn't return back to their room and stayed with jungmin in order to distract himself. It was lunch and taehyung finally could see his bun's face which was cold and blank at the moment.

"Jungkook", hyunbin called suddenly.

"Yes", he said monotonously.

"I heard you wanted to work?", hyunbin asked.

"Yeah", the other simply replied.

"You don't need to work, son. Hope our kitchen has enough food for you and taehyung is talking care of your expenses very well", hyunbin said as a matter of fact and jungkook so wants to rip of that oldie's hair.

"It's not about food and expenses, dad. I always wanted to work and be independent. I got my degree from foreign not just for show. I want to make use of it", jungkook tried his hardest to not lash our harshly.

"Somin is also educated, but she never wanted to work. Just because you are educated doesn't mean you have to work as well. Just enjoy life and take care of your family, why bother working", hyunbin deadpanned and tried to not sound stern.

Taehyung shut his eyes with a heavy sigh. He knows how much jungkook hates when someone compare him with anyone.

Where as somin just smiled innocently trying to play the good daughter in law card well only if the older male knew how much of a lazy bitch she is and knows how to make use of the family wealth. Her husband is the ceo after all, why would she need to work anyway.

"Well dad. I am not somin. I have a complete different personality as well as mentality.. Please do not compare me with anyone", and jungkook lost it as he said these stuff a little too sternly. How dare he compare him with that bitch?

"Jungkook.. Mind your tone", came a stern order from yejin. And somin was enjoying a little too much. Hyunbin was taken aback with the sudden tone and tried to control himself.

Taehyung visibly tensed in his spot. He knows jungkook was angry from earlier and also knows how much he was controlling. He was worried because he doesn't want jungkook to get scolding in front of everyone. It would make the situation worst.

Taehyung was quick to hold jungkook's thigh in order to calm him down and his eyes were pleading him to stop talking and jungkook gave a death glare to him clearly indicating he won't back off.

"I just don't like when someone compare me with anyone..", and there his bitter mouth, which will never stop.

"Jungkook.. Don't talk back. He is our father", Taeri said sternly who was quite till now.

"I am not talking back.. I am just saying what I don't like... And dad.. Taeri noona is also working in the company, that too much higher post than taehyung.. If she can work, why can't I.. Is it because she is your own daughter, I am in-law",

No matter how much angry jungkook gets, he doesn't loose his senses and knows very well where to hit. And he directly hit the sentimental point.

A ' have to maintain our perfect reputation' minded person like hyunbin won't want anyone to know he discriminate among his own blood and in-law.

And jungkook was correct when hyunbin fell silent with amusement in his expression and so did everyone else, because if jungkook say this to his own parents, their reputation would be at stake. People will point at them saying they aren't talking care of their son-in-law, also discriminate among the kids.

"What are you even saying, jungkook? Why are you dragging me in this", taeri said with a hint of anger lacing her voice. She doesn't like to get involve in someone's matter unnecessarily then why would jungkook drag her now.

"Why not noona? Don't you think it's unfair, you can work and I can't. You can stay with your own parents along with your husband, and I can't even stay more than a week?", finally jungkook spat those things which have been bothering him a lot. The kims are literally discriminating and showing the out side world that they are one big happy family, where as the reality is completely different.

"Jungkook", yejin yelled standing up from her seat.

"How dare you to talk to my daughter like that?", she was huffing in anger. Jungkook has never seen her like that. He stood up so did taehyung.

"Mom calm down.. I will talk to him, please", taehyung requested standing like shield in front of jungkook. He was trembling because he hates arguments.

"Why is everyone yelling at me? I just wanted one thing for God's sake.. And I didn't lie when i said about unfairness", jungkook spat again and taehyung his arm in warming.

"Please stop it, jungkook", he mumbled just for the younger to hear.

"No one dared to talk back to us ever, and you who just came months ago is talking back to us also questioning our fairness", yejin stated in rage.

"I gave you a little too freedom. I always try to defend you thinking you are new but I was wrong", she added.

"Apologize to everyone with your joined hands, NOW", yejin ordered with voice filled with venom and rage.

"Mom please.. Let's end this here. I am apologizing on behalf of him.. This won't repeat again", taehyung was quick to apologize bwcat he knows this will only fuel jungkook's angry if he was forced to apologize.

"We didn't ask you to apologize, taehyung", came a stern statement from hyunbin who was looking at jungkook with a death glare.

"Dad please",

"Taehyung", hyunbin's voice raised giving chills down everyone's spine well except jungkook's.

Jungkook was trembling in anger but at the same time he hated when everyone was yelling at taehyung who was literally begging for him. He gulped down his ego yet again, just because of taehyung,

"I apologize for my behavior", he muttered looking at the table,face holding a blank expression but enough to reach everyone's ear.

"Good.. Now sit quietly and eat your food", yejin ordered and sat down.

"I am done.. Excuse me", he said before storming out of the dinning room without waiting for anyone to speak.

Yejin sighed so did hyunbin. The older lady doesn't like to yell at her kids like that but sometimes she needs to do it in order to discipline them. Yes she scolds them often but there is a different between scolding and yelling.

Where as hyunbin was thinking something else. Did he really discriminate? Whatever Jungkook said was bugging him a lot.

"Take both of your food and go..don't let him starve or else his parents will question us", yejin said sternly and digged in her own food.

Taehyung just nodded and slowly took their food which a maid helped him to arrange in a tray.

"Taehyung..", jongin called when taehyung was about to leave.

"Control your husband, explain it to him to not talk back to our parents or else next time, I won't sit quietly", he gave his orders and the youngest hated it, he doesn't care about himself but he doesn't like how jongin said about his love. Anyway he just gave a nod before leaving the place.

It will be too hard for taehyung to tame a wild bunny at the moment.
