I have many pre planned chapters for this story. I feel bad though because my other story "Unrest" ,  I  barely update that book. This is why I don't do sequels....( That book is a sequel to my other book "5am" btw)

Anyways! I have more confidence this book will be finished a lot sooner for y'all to binge read 😂😏

It's been two weeks since the drunk incident. Yoongi was currently getting dressed to take a trip to his parents house. They lived in another neighborhood not too far away so traffic wouldn't be too much. He hasn't seen Junghoon come home much since the incident either. This made Yoongi very much satisfied. He felt like Junghoon was a ticking time bomb every time he was in his presence. So being alone wasn't all too bad.


Yoongi grabbed his car keys and made his way out the door. He walked downstairs and was greeted by the security guard. The security guard was always so nice to him. Though he found him to be a bit creepy because he would catch him stare at some of the woman that live in the building a little to hard.


Now in the car Yoongi breathes in and out to easy himself. Visiting his family for a simple dinner shouldn't be a bad idea. But Yoongi felt uncomfortable around his family. They were the stereotypical rich people that often liked to brag about materialistic things and also whats happening at work. In other words, they were boring. But Yoongi grew up around them.


While he drives to his parents home. He thinks in his mind what lies he will tell his parents if they ask him about Junghoon. They often would like to believe that Yoongi's arranged marriage was the best decision and that Yoongi is happy. Mainly because Yoongi was too much of a scaredy cat to defy his parents and raise an issue. He was raised to be prim and proper, not a drama queen. So he puts on a mask to seem satisfied with the marriage. His parents really believed it.


He arrived about 20 minutes later to his parents mansion. There were cars already in a the driveway way which meant his older brothers had already arrived. He walked to the front door and was greeted by one of the maids. It was like she was waiting for him to arrive. Which most likely is the case because to get through the very front gate he had to ring the bell.


"Hello young master, it's been a while. Your parents are waiting for you" she said bowing


Yoongi bows back at her and walks through the front door. He immediately heard voices coming from the large dining room. It was the voice of his elderly father laughing. His older brothers were talking with him. He walked into the room and everyone greeted him with smiles on their faces. But Yoongi couldn't smile.


"Ah Yoongi! I'm glad you made it. Come son, the food is about to be served" His father said as he sat at the head of the table like usual


Yoongi quietly greeted his mother and his older brothers. He then took a seat next to his mother. His older brothers were sitting across from them. The maids began to carry out food to the table. Tonight they had traditional korean food, which is his father's favorite. He was the first to have a bite of his meal and then everyone else began to eat after him.


"So did you enjoy the corporate party the other week?" His mother asked


"Oh it's great mother" his older brother HyunKi said "By the way I was able to get another investor for the company at the party"


His fathers eyes lit up "That's great. What did they say?"


The family except for Yoongi of course decided to talk about the company. Yoongi just ate his food in his own world. This is another reason to why he couldn't relate to his family. Whenever they met up for so called 'family time' it just ended up turning into a business meeting. Yoongi couldn't relate because he's never worked for his family's company. They never wanted him to. He was just raised to be a supposed 'pretty' face for the public to see.


Eventually the conversation ended about an hour later. Everyone else was still eating their food because they were eating slowly, and was so invested in the conversation from earlier. But here was the part Yoongj dread the most. When his father started to ask about his children's significant others.


"Geumjae-ah, how's the wife? Is her pregnancy going well" His father asked


"Yea, we just went to a doctors appointment yesterday. They said she might have complications during birth due to her size, but we're looking into further possibilities for a smooth birth" He explained with love in his eyes


Their mother claps her hands and squealed "Oh I can't wait to see my little granddaughter. You're going to have her here all time time yeah?"


Geumjae laughs "Of course mother. I know you'll jus be spoiling her"


"Oh I have news to make..." Hyunki is other brother said "Me and Jieun are pregnant!"


Yoongi's father, mother, and other brother cheered in happiness. The brunette just gave a fake smile. Deep down this made him feel even worse for some reason. Why couldn't he be happy for others achievements. Maybe it reminded him of how shitty his relationship is. His family began to talk more about the new pregnancy. Yoongi drowned it out in his head. He didn't realize his father was even calling him.


"Yoongi-ah, how are you and Junghoon" His father said with a more serious tone. He can tell his father was bothered by something


"Oh umm...we're great. Junghoon is just working. I'm at home supporting as much as I can" He said surprised he didn't stutter


His father sighs in response "Junghoon called me two days ago. He told me you've been distance from him. That you've been pushing him away"


Yoongi's eyes widened. He wanted to curse and scream at this lie. Junghoon was the one that's been distant with him instead. Why would he call him father to complain in the first place. Yoongi didnt know how to respond.


"By the way honey. Have you and Junghoon thought of children? Maybe it'll bring you two closer to share blood" His mother said patting Yoongi's arm


The brunette just kept calm and nodded his head "W-We're waiting for the right time"


"Yoongi marriage is a serious thing. Whatever issues you're going through with Junghoon you need to put it aside. If any scandal gets out to the public it'll ruin our family's good reputation. Junghoon is a good young man, you have nothing to complain about!" His father said startling to get heated


Yoongi was now shaking. He hides his hand below the table to not show it to the others. But he gives a smile and bow to his father
"I-I apologize father. I won't let it happen again"


He grumbles "Hmm alright then. I'm glad you understand. You're a great kid Yoongi-ah"


For the rest of the dinner, the family bragged like they always did. Yoongi said that he was going to go home. When he got in his car, he rested his head on the wheel. Tears spilled out, and he couldn't help but to sob uncontrollably


The words in his head disappointment, failure, unwanted, ugly just flowed through his head. What more does the world want from him at this point?
