♤ Operation Impression ♤

Once breakfast was cooked they all sat down at the kitchen table to eat together. The tension was high between Chansung and Matthew but Taehyung didn’t seem to care.

“So Jinseok, what do you do in life?” Chansung asked, trying to make an effort to get to know him after Taehyung had side eyed him.

“I’m a psychology major at Taehyung’s university.” Matthew answered.

“Has that always been your passion?”

Matthew raised his eyebrow. “When I was five I wanted to be a ninja turtle.” This made Taehyung laugh but Chansung was not impressed. “What do you do sir?”

“I’m the Chairman of Jeonggam Corporation.” Chansung bragged.

Matthew narrowed his eyes. “Let me get this straight; you are the chairman of one of Korea’s leading construction companies which would make you hella rich and yet you and your son live in a three bedroom apartment?”

“Yes, well, we have lived in this building I own for Taehyung’s whole life. My wife, Sooyoung, designed this apartment… It was her dream to live a family life in a small apartment so that’s what I’ve done even after she died.”

Silence fell over the table. It hadn’t been in Chansung’s file that his wife had died, Matthew had been under the impression that she had left the family when Taehyung was young, he was going to have to update their intel.

“So what’s the plan for today? Shouldn’t you be in class Taehyung?”

“Actually, I checked my schedule this morning and I don’t have any classes today.” Taehyung answered with a chirpy smile on his face.

If Matthew hadn’t been in the room with him this morning he would never be able to tell that the older male was lying to his father; in fact Matthew had no idea Taehyung could lie so effortlessly. Matthew couldn't help but stare at him curiously, every time he thought he knew Taehyung, the older one seemed to show him a new side of himself. Matthew wasn’t sure he liked this side but considering everything he was putting him through with their relationship Matthew was in no place to judge.

“We were going to go study with some friends from school and maybe hang out for a bit. Jinseok doesn’t get a lot of free time because of his overbearing brothers so we are just gonna make the most of our time.” Taehyung continued.

Matthew really didn’t like this side of Taehyung.

*****

“Why lie?” Matthew questioned when the boys were back in Taehyung’s bedroom after cleaning up the dishes.

“My father is easily irritated… I can also tell he doesn’t like you.” Taehyung revealed. “He doesn’t like it when people ask questions. Only he can know everything.” Taehyung grumbled and made his bed.
