They say, karma is a bitch only if you are.

And by inattentively listening to his mother rant about the social and financial losses their establishment had to face because of a mere paper lying on the kitchen countertop as the first thing in morning instead of breakfast, no one understood that better than Jimin.

"I expect you to start paying off the hefty fine damned upon our family," Your mother pressed a ring-adorned finger against the paper before sliding it forward on the cool marble. "Not because we can't, rather the fact that you should take responsibility of your actions."

"The only way I can do that is if you let me go to work." Jimin groaned, ignoring the paper passed to him whilst pouring his freshly brewed coffee into a ceramic mug. It was way too early for this shit.

"Who am I to stop you, young man?" She scoffed, loose curls bouncing against her shoulders, "Leave."

"I will."

"Then do it."

"Coffee comes first."

"And what about family?" She snapped.

Jimin sighed, before bringing the brim of his mug to his lips. The first drop of caffeine dropped onto his tongue and dissipated into a burst of energy, and all of a sudden, he felt like he could handle the ranting after all. It truly was a magic drink.

"Mom," He said, sounding alert now, "You want me to pay off the fine to you? Okay, I will."

Before she could reply, her son immediately cut her off. "In fact, I'll pay it off, get Y/N to sign the clarification letter, and come join the company after my internship. How does that sound?"

The woman blinked, her glasses peacefully resting on the bridge of her nose as she studied the letter once more. "It will take too much time, considering how much you're earning right now."

"Then what do you want me to do?" Jimin hissed.

"Drop everything. Forget what I said about paying back." She shook her head, "It's our fault anyway, for being negligible workaholics who couldn't even look after their children. Now here we are, with one in an asylum and the other one paying off fines for statutory rape."
