Arrive back home, Taehyung foundJungkook sitting on the sofa with his head bowed. Who knew what he was looking at.

Taehyung didn't call out to him and intended to go upstairs and take a bath before going to sleep. Just as he stepped on the stairs he heard Jungkook say faintly, "Where'd you go?"

Taehyung said, "Went out to play."

Jungkook said, "With who?"

Taehyung: "......With schoolmates."

Jungkook heard this and sneered. He said, "Come here."

Taehyung felt his back become numb at his sneer and after hesitating for a short while, he said quietly, "I'm sleepy."

Jungkook said, "Don't let me say it again."

Taehyung felt a little helpless. After Jungkook found out that he was not his biological son, all that was leftover was this sort of tough attitude that he had right now. It seems as though the tender compromising attitude from in the past has disappeared along with their severed blood relationship.

Moving slowly, Taehyung walked over.

Jungkook said, "Taehyung, what did I say to you before?"

Taehyung didn't dare look at Jungkook's eyes: He bowed his head, not talking.

Jungkook said, "I told you not to date early, right?"

Taehyung: "..." Damn it, he was tailed again.

Jungkook continued, "You've forgotten my words?"

Taehyung's tears fell on the floor. He gritted his teeth, his body was trembling slowly. Jungkook said, "What are you crying for? You're even feeling wrong?"

Taehyung raised his head, his face was covered with droplets. He said, "I hate you most. I don't want to talk to you anymore!" After he finished saying this, he turned around and ran, not giving Jungkook a chance to speak.

'Bang!' Jungkook slammed the table.

The arm is destined to be unable to twist the thigh.

No matter how unwilling Taehyung was, he couldn't go to A school and could only randomly choose between school B and school C. After this summer vacation, Taehyung would be sixteen.

On his sixteenth birthday, Jungkook didn't come back. Under the sympathetic eyes of the housekeeper, Taehyung could only make a grief-stricken look, giving the impression that he was struggling to eat half of the cake.

The housekeeper said anxiously, "Little master if you don't want to eat then don't eat anymore."

Taehyung could only stop after eating half.

WhenJungkook came back, it was already 11:00 pm. Taehyung was lying in bed preparing to sleep when he heard a few knocks at his door. Walking over in his pyjamas, Taehyung opened the door to see Jungkook standing at the door.

"Happy birthday." The strong scent of alcohol clung to Jungkook's body as he handed a box to Taehyung.

Taehyung accepted the box and thanked him.

Jungkook looked as if he wanted to say something but then hesitated. In the end, he said nothing at all as he turned away and left.

Taehyung closed the door, went back to his room and opened the box. Inside he found a car key.

Taehyung went online to check out the model. Then he discovered the lowest market price for the car that Jungkook had given him was over 25 million won.

Taehyung: "......" Suddenly the keys feel so heavy. Taehyung can only let his beloved little car-car park in the garage for a semester until he gets his driver's license during winter vacation.

New semester, new life, new exams.

Never in a million years had Taehyung thought that his first day at school B would be spent writing an exam. However, the most difficult thing isn't the exam. The most difficult thing is the day of the results.

Fortunately, school B didn't split the students into fast and slow classes. Except for the class of all the best students, all the other classes are a mixture of students with both good and poor grades.

Taehyung ranked 837. There were 900 students in his grade.

Taehyung felt as though his soul had been mercilessly trampled upon and vowed to study hard.

Then the first thing he did when he got home was to open his laptop and play games.

A few months after the start of school, Taehyung heard the housekeeper say: it seems like Jungkook is preparing to get married. Taehyung seems to be the only one in the family who was kept in the dark. It seemed as though Jungkook had no intention of telling Taehyung about it.

This is also correct, there is no blood relationship between them. Not hurting each other could be considered as having a good relationship already.

The woman who had come to the Jeon family recently came more frequently. At first, she greeted Taehyung enthusiastically, but later, she noticed Jungkook's strange attitude and turned her back on Taehyung.

Taehyung was now a first-year student but he maintained his monthly meetings with Ara. Contrary to what one might expect, Jungkookdidn't restrict him on this matter-Taehyung suspected that Jungkook wasn't monitoring him anymore.

The year passed peacefully and at the end of his freshman year, Jungkook and that woman whom Taehyung still didn't know the name of getting engaged.

Taehyung only knew of this because he read it from the newspaper. It was only then that he discovered that the woman was a famous upper-class lady.

Returning home, Taehyung saw Jungkook sitting on the sofa looking down at his phone. He called out, "Dad."

Jungkook raised his head and asked lightly, "What's wrong?"

"You've gotten engaged?" Taehyung asked.

Jungkook said, "Mhm." His expression was indifferent. It's as if this engagement really had nothing to do with Taehyung.

Taehyung looked at Jungkook's expression and smiled reluctantly, "Congratulations."

Jungkook said, "Thank you."

At what time exactly had their close relationship changed? All that remained now was only relative silence. Taehyung thought in his heart that Jungkook really is a bad father. He put down his schoolbag, went to the kitchen to grab half a watermelon and returned to his room where he began to eat away at it.

Taehyung chomped and chomped until his phone began to ring. As soon as he saw that it was an unknown number, his first reaction was that it was a crank call so he didn't respond.

Who would have imagined that the person calling would be very stubborn, calling one after another until Taehyung picked up.

"Taehyung." A somewhat familiar voice came through and Taehyung immediately remembered the owner of that voice-Park Bogum.

"Bogum?" Taehyung took another bite of the watermelon and said perfunctory, "Did you need something?"

"You still remember my voice?" Bogum didn't expect Taehyung to recognize his voice. He was obviously very happy, "Come and play."

Taehyung was stunned and said, "It's already past nine. I'm going to sleep."

Bogum said, "It's only nine o'clock. What are you afraid of?"

Taehyung: "......" He was afraid that Jungkook would chop him up and eat him.

Bogum seemed to know what Taehyung was thinking, and said, "Your father is going to get married and probably wouldn't be that strict."

Taehyung's mouth twitched, "Sorry, I really can't come out."

On the other end, Bogum fell silent for a little while before he said that something came up and hang up.

Taehyung had thought originally thought that Bogum calling him was just an accident. But the day after getting Bogum's call, he was blocked at the school gate by Bogum.

Taehyung didn't notice him at first, and it wasn't until Bogum tapped his shoulder that Taehyung noticed there was someone behind him.

Bogum looked at Taehyung with all smiles. Compared to a year ago, his hair was shorter and seemed to look a bit more heroic. He was still handsome and stood out in the crowd. He said, "Let's go eat together?"

Taehyung murmured, "Sorry, I have to eat dinner at home."

Bogum said, "Your father's not at home. What are you going home for?"

Taehyung: "Go back and do homework." He blinked his eyes, looking innocent and pure, like a little white rabbit who knew nothing. Bogum looked at this appearance of Taehyung's and eyes darkened. He said, "It'll only take an hour."

Taehyung still wanted to refuse but Bogum grabbed him by the wrist.

Bogum's strength was enormous. Before Taehyung could react, he was pulled to a car parked on the side of the road.
