This is the last chapter. Thank you so much for supporting and patiently waiting for my updates! Love you!

"What do you think of settling down, son?"

Shit. Here we go again.

"Mom, I already told you, I don't want to marry someone as of the moment," I stopped to look at them, "I want to explore the world, study, make the most of my youth and... if I do marry, I want it to be for love."

Every time we're having a family dinner, this topic always finds a way to emerge and I hate being forced into this.

My dad released a breath and looked at me, "You can do that even if you're married Taehyung. You see, we're just worried, you're already 24."

"I know dad, but I don't want to rush things, " I shrugged and continued to eat the steak in front of me.

"He's right, we don't need rush things. If it's gonna come then it's gonna come." See? Even my sister agrees!

"I have a friend, who has a daughter. Her name is Millicent and she has-" seems like dad didn't hear anything because he continued talking so I cut him off.

"Dad," I am so done with this conversation! Can't they just understand? "I understand your concerns but I hope you also understand that I don't want to marry someone I don't know."

After that stressful dinner, I immediately went to the nearest bar. I think I need to cool off some steam and alcohol is the right companion for me tonight.

"1 bottle of tequila please," I called as I saw a server passed by.

"Okay, sir." I took a seat on the stool and in just a minute, I already have the liquor in front of me together with a shot glass and a piece of lemon as a chaser.

I drank as my mind wanders to different kinds of things like marriage thingy, business, and girls. To be honest, I've never been linked to any girl for a long period. My last relationship was when I was in middle school and it's wasn't even that serious.

Sometimes, I think that I'm gay because I find it hard to be attracted to girls. I've meet actresses and models and sure, they're gorgeous but it's still not enough for me to be attracted. It's like I'm finding a very rare trait and none of them can be found in the girls I've met. Not until tonight.

I think it's in between my seventh shot when I noticed a girl entering the club. She was wearing a fitted black, sleeveless dress that stopped a few inches above her knees paired with thigh-high boots.

It was hard for me to see her face because it was covered with her hair and because of the light. She took the seat a few meters away and wailed to the server.

I draw my attention away from her when I realized how creepy I looked and why would I even watch her anyway, it's not that I'm interested in her.

I shook my head and drank the shot instead and I think that it's the alcohol controlling my mind when I decided to move to the stool beside her. She was staring at her shot glass, her hair messy and her eyes were swollen.

Was she crying?

Damn! What are you doing Taehyung?! I thought you're not interested in her?!

"Hey, pretty girl," SHIT! What the hell?!! I sounded like a creepy jerk!

She threw me a disgusted glance before swallowing her drink. All the time I was there, I was either complementing or flirting with her and I don't know why.
