Rose had just determined her relationship with Taehyung and was in the middle of planning her sweet romantic couple's world with Taehyung. Who would have imagined that in just a few days' time, Taehyung's attitude would do a complete 180 and actually say that he wanted to break up with her?

"Why?" Rose stared at him; she couldn't comprehend this at all. "Taehyung, did something happen?"

Taehyung looked at Rose with grief.'He said, "My father forbids me from dating."

Rose's mind was full of question marks. "What? What do you mean?"

Taehyung repeated gently, "My father forbids me from dating."

Rose: "......"

Taehyung's sadness was on the verge of spilling out of his eyes. He said, "I'm sorry."

Rose said, "For this break-up excuse of yours, I can only give zero points."

Taehyung: "......"

Rose said, "Speak up, what's the reason?"

Taehyung: "......." I'm telling the truth, I really didn't lie this time.

Rose was a little impatient and used her foot to lightly kick Taehyung's calf, saying, "Idiot, spit it out."

Taehyung eyes drooped, and he said somewhat helplessly, "I think that I don't like you."

Rose sighed. Taehyung awkwardly apologized, "I'm sorry."

Rose clicked her tongue and said, "How unexpected, gee, how unexpected. Taehyung, I didn't think you would break up with me so decisively."

Taehyung: "......."

Rose said, "See, you look so irresolute and hesitant, I wanted to grab a hold of you first before making other plans."

Taehyung: "......"

Rose said, "Didn't expect that you would break up with me so straightforwardly?!"

Taehyung: "......"

Rose said, "Okay, let's break up, but you're not allowed to find a girlfriend in the next six months, or else..."

Taehyung looked at her pitifully. "Or else what?"

Rose thought for a moment and said, "Or else... well, it seems like I can't do anything to you either." After Rose left, Taehyung wept in the playground alone.

The matter of breaking up with Rose had gone unexpectedly smoothly. Taehyung succeeded in becoming single again. Jungkook didn't disturb Taehyung during these past two days of school. However, right after two days passed, he immediately gave Taehyung a phone call.

Taehyung's heart pounded as he received the call.

When his roommate saw his appearance, he asked in an odd tone, "Did Rose call you?"—he didn't know that they'd broken up.

Taehyung ignored his roommate and answered the phone, going to the balcony.

"Tae." Jungkook's voice was as gentle as ever. He asked, "What are you doing?"

Taehyung replied, "Nothing much."

Jungkook said, "You don't have class tomorrow, come home." He'd gotten ahold of Taehyung's schedule as early as the start of the new term. Taehyung stammered out a few words, saying, "To-Tomorrow I have a club activity."

Jungkook was silent for two seconds and unexpectedly compromised. He said, "Then come back the day after tomorrow."

Taehyung gritted his teeth and continued to say, "The day after tomorrow—"

But unexpectedly, Jungkook interrupted Taehyung and said bluntly, "Otherwise, I will go directly to your school and pick you up."

Jungkook said, "Be good."

Taehyung said nothing and hung up the phone. He slowly walked back to his bed and lay down. Seeing that he was out of sorts, his roommate asked, "What happened?"

Hearing his roommate's words, he answered expressionlessly, "It's nothing."

The roommate frowned. "What's wrong? Look at your tears coming out."

Taehyung: "......"

The roommate said, "C'mon, don't look at me like that. If you do, I'll feel like crying too..."

Sunday; a day off.

Just as Taehyung was brushing his teeth, he received a call from Jungkook. As expected, Jungkook wasn't reassured by Taehyung, and he drove his car to the school gate. He went to the school gate to find Jungkook.

Jungkook saw Taehyung and his eyes softened a little. He asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Taehyung gave an 'Mhm'.

Jungkook continued, "Get on."

Taehyung seemed a little hesitant, but he'd already come all the way here; hesitating again wouldn't be of any use.

So Jungkook watched as his family's baby reluctantly sat next to him with a ghostly pale face. Perhaps Taehyung's expression was much too cautious and vigilant; it made Jungkook's heart feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Jungkook didn't start driving. He lit up a cigarette in the car and asked, "How was school this week?"

Taehyung whispered an 'Alright'.

Jungkook asked, "Broken up with Rose?"

Taehyung lightly bit his lips, some humiliation in his expression. He said, "Mhmm." Only then was Jungkook satisfied. He put out his cigarette and said, "Good, I'll take you somewhere fun."

At first, Taehyung assumed that Jungkook would take him to a very healthy entertainment place such as an amusement park or an arcade. So when he saw the word 'Bar', he was shocked. Jungkook led Taehyung inside.

When they were about to enter, Taehyung seemed to cower somewhat, but Jungkook grabbed his wrist firmly and didn't give him a chance to refuse. A pleading look appeared in Taehyung's eyes but Jungkook remained unmoved. He said, "Be good, I'm just bringing you in to take a look."

Taehyung's strength simply couldn't compete with Jungkook's. He was also afraid of being noticed by other people, so in the end, he was pulled into the bar by Jungkook. Sure enough, this place was not a clean bar. Although the music was very soothing, several pairs of men kissing could be vaguely seen.

Tazehyung's face was blanketed by the darkness, making it difficult to see him clearly. But his increasingly cold skin suggested to Jungkook that his baby was afraid.

Jungkook said, "Don't be afraid."

Taehyung said quietly, "Dad, don't...... I don't want to be here......"

But Jungkook laughed and said, "In the past, didn't you want to come here with Bogum? This time I'm the one bringing you personally, so why don't you want to anymore?" ——What an overturned vinegar jar.

Taehyung didn't understand what Jungkook was angry about. He was dragged into a corner by Jungkook who then ordered some drinks and snacks. He showed consideration for Taehyung's health and didn't give him any alcoholic drinks.

Taehyung was like a round peg in a square hole in this environment. He awkwardly bowed his head and didn't say anything.

Jungkook asked, "Weren't you pretty happy going to the bar your first time around?"

Taehyung raised his head and looked cautiously at Jungkook, his face solemn. He quickly said, "I-I don't like it here."

Jungkook asked, "Why?"

Taehyung was tensed up from head to toe, just like a rabbit who had fallen into a wolf's cave by mistake; although unwilling, he was unable to resist.

This time it was not just his drink, Taehyung didn't even touch the fruits. Fortunately, Jungkook didn't make things difficult for Taehyung and seemed to merely want Taehyung to take a look at the scenery inside.

The two faced each other in silence. Jungkook saw that from beginning to end, Taehyung had been unwilling to relax. He gave a light sigh then said somewhat helplessly, "Let's go."

Taehyung immediately stood up and headed outside.
