Amidst Jungkook's growing coldness, Taehyung entered his third year of junior high.

In fact, to some extent, Taehyung was thankful to Jungkook. For after Jungkook found out about his family history, he didn't do anything extreme and only became cold towards him.

Taehyung was also a man. He was very clear about what wearing the green hat signifies for a man, especially for a proud man like Jungkook. Being able to tolerate Taehyung's existence is already a great concession.

After finishing his third-year exams, Taehyung returned home.

Jungkook was waiting for him at home, which was rare. The first sentence he said when he saw him was, "How was the exam?"

Taehyung said with hesitation, "Alright."

Jungkook heard this and felt like there was a hole in his heart. Jungkook said: "Which high school do you want to attend."

Taehyung didn't expect that Jungkook would care about this. He felt flattered and said, "I want to go to high school A." That was the school that Ara tested into.

Taehyung had thought thatJungkook was just being courteous by asking this, but when Jungkook heard this answer, he frowned and said, "No, that's not allowed, school A is too far away."

School A was one of the top three high schools in the city. The quality of teaching was very good but the school was particularly strict and requires all students to live on campus.

Taehyung: "......But the quality of teaching in school A is very good."

Jungkook raised a brow, "You can pass the exam?"

Taehyung: "......" A fatal blow.

Jungkook said, "I won't be paying your sponsorship fees."

When Taehyung heard this sentence, he became emotional and said in his heart, 'Daddy, if you won't pay my sponsorship fees then this son will need to go do work at a construction site!'

Seemingly aware that Taehyung's expression wasn't right, Jungkook said again, "You can't go to school A, choose one near home."

Taehyung said quietly, "But schools near home need sponsorship fees as well."

Jungkook was generous this time, "On me."

Taehyung: "......"

Jungkook, "Think about it."

He said, "I want to go to school A."

Jungkook sneered, "Because of Jeon Ara?"

Taehyung: "......." Hadn't they come to an agreement that he wouldn't care about him anymore? That their father and son relationship was already severed? Why was Jungkook still monitoring him!!!

Jungkook said, "Each and every month you go visit school A, did you think that I didn't know?"

Taehyung: "......Daddy, it's not what you think."

Jungkook said coldly, "Then what is it?"

The rims of Taehyung's eyes turned red at once. He felt as though he had been extremely wronged. Taehyung was wronged and felt a little moody, he quit. He said, "I don't have that sort of relationship with her! I just want to go to school A!!"

Jungkook sneered, "If you have the ability then pass the exam."

Taehyung: "......" The importance of studying was highlighted at this moment. Taehyung shouted in his heart, 'I'm sorry teachers! I hadn't listened to your words, studying really is the only way out!'

Jungkook said, "What? Still feeling wronged?"

Taehyung said sadly, "Why can you bring people back as you please but forbid me from even liking someone?"

When Jungkook heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, seemingly feeling a little guilty. But he soon hardened his heart and said, "Because I can support myself."

Taehyung burst into tears with a wail then rushed back into his room to blow off a load, speaking to himself while doing so, "I hate Jungkook!"

If he were still in his second year of junior high, then Taehyung would have still had the chance to swear to work hard and rely on his own efforts to get into school A.

But now that the exam was already over, Taehyung could only sit and wait to die.

A few days later, the results of the high school entrance examinations came out.

Taehyung held his report card, his soul floating away into the far distance along with the grade above,

This score. Taehyung felt that even if his face was thicker, he still wouldn't be able to argue with Jungkook, it really was too humiliating. He returned home in disgrace. He returned home in disgrace. He called Ara in disgrace.

The moment Ara picked up the phone she heard Taehyung's crying. Taehyung said, "Wuwuwuwu, I failed the exam."

It goes without saying that Ara should feel sorry for Taehyung but for some reason, she wanted to laugh. She said, "What mark did you get?"

Taehyung choked for half a day and said, "Mathematics 87."

"Pfft" Ara couldn't hold it and laughed. "This isn't a 'fail' but an extraordinary performance."

Taehyung cried sadly, "You're actually even laughing at me!!"

Ara said, "Weren't you already mentally prepared? Why are you so sad?" Moreover, with Taehyung's family financial situation, such things as test scores are not important to him, even if he does not go to school there wouldn't be much of an impact.

Taehyung said, "But with such marks, I can't come to find you anymore."

Ara was stunned when she heard the words and said, "Why?"

Taehyung said, "My dad said that he won't pay my sponsorship fee."

Ara said, "Then you can only repeat a grade."

Taehyung: "......."

Ara thought for a moment, "Otherwise, you could just drop out of school and work?"

Taehyung: "......."

Ara said all this, then seeing that Taehyung hadn't spoken for a while, she felt that she was going a bit too far. She quickly said, "I didn't mean to laugh at you, it's just that grades aren't that important. Don't take it too seriously."

Taehyung sighed deeply and felt that he was too late to keep up with the times. He said, "I will fight for it again."

Ara sounded an 'ai' and Taehyung hung up.

The entire afternoon, Taehyung didn't step outside of his room. He really was hurt by that 87.

At dinner, Taehyung didn't show Jungkook his report card, but evidently, Jungkook already knew whatTaehyung's mark was.

For his first sentence was, "Do you want to go to school B or school A?" Both of the schools were pretty good. The only thing better than school A was the fact that it was closer to home and could be walked to.

Taehyung: "I want to go to school A."

Jungkook said, "Pay for it yourself."

Taehyung was stunned.

Jungkook said, "The choice is in your own hands, you can do as you see fit."

He said to choose, but in fact, Taehyung's authority had been stripped away long ago and Jungkook didn't intend to listen to Taehyung's wishes. Although his relationship with Taehyung has diminished over the past few years, his control has not diminished at all.

Taehyung said, "Why?"

Jungkook raised his eyes and looked at him.

Taehyung seemed to be angry, his voice shaking violently. He said, "Why, hadn't you stopped caring about me?"

Jungkook said indifferently, "Whether I care or don't care about you, it's my freedom."
