Whether or not Taehyung was like his cuckolded father didn't matter. Either way, his supplement lessons were set in stone.

Taehyung's soap opera watching career came to an end. Towards this, he expressed extreme sadness. However, even though the relationship between father and son soften slight, Jungkook still didn't take the initiative to talk with Taehyung. Taehyung's past was a stain on Jungkook's life. At this time, the best choice was to send him back to Yura and let Yura raise him herself. But the moment he thought of sending Taehyung away, Jungkook felt a kind of inexplicable violent irritation, which he did not hesitate to vent to the culprit—Yura.

Yura's originally broad and level route to stardom suddenly turned bumpy. Many of the advertisements that she was confident in fell into the hands of others due to all kinds of strange reasons. At this point, Yura only thought that she was just too unlucky and didn't think too much about it. However, when she realized that these things were related to Jungkook, everything was already too late.

Taehyung continued his boring junior high life.

Without soap operas, he felt like a grass that had lost its moisture, only a step away from withering.

Furthermore, Seojun's procedures to go abroad were just about finished and Taehyung was invited to his farewell dinner.

Ara had shed a lot of tears because Seojun was leaving, her eyes still swollen as she was sat at the table.

Seojun sat by her, speaking softly as he tried to console her, looking helpless and distressed.

Taehyung said, "Don't cry, I'm still here. Seojun is leaving, but I will protect you."

Ara heard this and laughed. She said, "You're not even as tall as I am. From what I see, it is me who needs to protect you."

Taehyung who sat beside them acting like a lightbulb: "......"

Seojun reluctantly said, "Taehyung, take care of Ara more after I leave. You know how introverted she is."

Taehyung nodded, agreeing with an 'okay.'

Ara and Seojun spoke words of love in low tones to each other. Taehyung sat to the side quietly eating peanuts.

When the dish of peanuts was just about finished, the main dishes were served.

Seojun seemed to recall something and said, "Taehyung, which high school are you planning to go to?"

Taehyung was now a second-year student and would be a third-year student next year. He said, "I don't particularly care, I guess it'll depend on Ara."

Ara blinked her eyes and said quietly, "The high school I'm going to requires particularly high marks."

Taehyung: "......."

Seojun laughed heartily. "Taehyung. there will be another exam soon. Are you ready?"

Taehyung itched to poke Seojun's eyes out with his Chopsticks! Because of that thirty-six percent last semester, his entire summer vacation was spent on extra lessons. Classes every day, reading every day, he read so much he was going to become stupid.

Seojun was still laughing, "How did you manage to get thirty-six percent in math? I wouldn't get thirty-six percent even with my eyes closed!"

Taehyung gave him a faint glance, "I heard that there's a boy in Class 3 who likes Ara."

Seojun's smile froze.

Taehyung continued, "After you go abroad, I will take good care of Ara." He accentuated the words "going abroad" and "take care of".

Seojun couldn't laugh anymore. He said helplessly, "Okay okay okay, I was wrong. You must not help dig my corner."

Ara smiled gently, having no intention of interrupting.

The three people joked and chattered throughout the meal, but when the meal came to an end, Ara shed tears once again.

Seojunconsoled her warmly, the atmosphere between them seemed like a two-person world that outsiders should not intervene in.

Tactfully, Taehyung left first. 

Then the days continued to pass on quietly and peacefully. Taehyung didn't send Seojun off on the day of his departure because classes were going on at school.

Ara skipped class and went. Taehyung wanted to go as well but Jungkook had warned him the day before that there would be hell to pay if he skipped.

Taehyung didn't want to give Jungkook's punishment a try at all. He was keenly aware that Jungkook was no longer the father that had protected him before now.

Then, shortly after Taehyung entered his third year of Junior high, he saw Jungkook bring in a woman from outside for the first time ever.

The woman was very beautiful. Her skin was fair and her body was enchanting. When Taehyung came home he saw the two people drinking red wine and eating steak at the table.

Taehyung looked on for a little while and then went back to his room in silence. This entire process was quiet and he was like a transparent person who didn't exist.

Returning to his room, Taehyung locked the bedroom door and laid on the bed. Taehyung opened up the soap opera that he hasn't watched for a while and opened up the previous episode he had been on. Then while holding his SpongeBob, he began to watch with relish.

Because Jungkook had brought a woman home, his tutoring lessons were temporarily set aside. The housekeeper saw that the tutor was blocked and sent back and seemed to be worried about Taehyung's mood.

Taehyung watched his soap operas happily. He enjoyed watching it so much that his appetite became better. At dinner, he wanted to eat another bowl but was blocked by the housekeeper's 'you don't have to force yourself, I know that you're feeling sad' expression. 

Taehyung could only put back the hand that had been extended to show that he still wanted more food.

Taehyung: "......" How vexing, I'm not full.

The housekeeper said sadly, "Little master, don't be sad."

Taehyung lowered his head and said, "I am not sad." Just a little bit hungry.

The housekeeper gave a bitter laugh. "Master has been single for so long.....alas..."

Taehyung forced a smile and said, "I understand Daddy." When he finished saying, he put down the bowl, intending to leave.

Who would have imagined that the woman would just happen to come out of Jungkook's room at this moment?

The smell of perfume wafted in Taehyung's nose, making him feel suffocated.

The woman saw him and greeted him extremely kindly saying, "Hello, I'm a friend of your father's."

Taehyung ignored her. There was no other way. He found that he wasn't only allergic to carrots, but also somewhat allergic to perfume. In short, he had only smelled it twice, and both times there was an itch in his throat.

When the woman saw that Taehyung was ignoring her and smiled lightly, not minding. It seemed like......things weren't like what others had said and Jungkook didn't actually pamper his son.
