Chapter 21

It’s not like Jungkook had no idea what the consequences would be for his stupid, overly dramatic, cheesy mind that still thinks it’s in a movie or something to decide to fall in love with Jimin. He knew too well. Of course, back then, his problems mostly just revolved around getting his heart broken, but the other threats, his family and parents and legacy were always there, lingering in the back of his mind, feeding the belief that him and Jimin would be nothing but trouble.

So, honestly, it was fine. He knows he’d need to go through all kinds of shit to prove himself to the family, and he was willing to do it. But for fuck’s sake, why did his family have to get involved as well?

Halfway through his study session with Jimin, his phone turns on with a DM, and he turns to Jimin.

“Can I check it?”.

“Go ahead.”.

He swipes it open, seeing that someone sent him a message on Instagram, probably Taehyung or Seokjin cooing over how cute they are together after they saw his post. By now, he’s tempted to block the two from his socials.

“You have got to be kidding me.”. Jun gkook groans, and Jimin turns around.

“What?”.

“Nothing, it’s fine.”.

“Is it Tae again?”.

“Something like that.”. Jungkok responds, tempted to press the “block” button that’s next to the name: Jeon Hye-sun is calling.

“I’ll be right back.”. Jungkook says, pushing his chair in quickly, and Jimin shrugs, door closing with a soft thud as Jungkook leans against the walls of the hallway and picks up.

“What the fuck do you want?”. He snaps.

“Jungkook-”.

“I thought we agreed you’d leave me alone. What the fuck happened to that? It’s too late to try to be a good dad now.”.

“I’m not-”.

“Well, isn’t that fantastic to hear?”. Jungkook scoffs.

“Just listen to me, fucking hell, Jungkook.”.

“Are you fucking-”.

“You don’t have any right to be mad at me, kid.”.

Jungkook’s mouth drops, and he makes his way to his room, slamming the door shut so that Jimin won’t hear him. He doesn’t want to worry him more, anyways.

“Excuse you?!”.

“Your mom told me what happened.”.

“Wha-”.

“That you're living with her boss now. I mean, I wasn’t surprised, that woman always-”.

“Don’t you dare.”. Jungkook hisses. “Say a word about her and I’m going to make sure you regret it.”.

“Jungkook.”. he says in a warning tone as the boy’s grip on the phone tightens, one hand clenching into a fist. “I’m just trying to help. Come live with me, instead-".

“No. Stop acting as if you suddenly care, you care because mom sent you my fucking report card and told you I got a job at Min’s compan-”.

“Who’s Min?”.

Jungkook huffs.

“Not important.”.

“Is that the boyfriend she talked about?”.
