Leaving your family, friends and hometown to pursue the career you want isn't an easy decision to make.

Unfortunately, jungkook just so happend to be in this position. After finishing college in Korea, he had to make a choice.

Either he could stay in Korea and live in a kaput routine of checking office files everyday for his boss (who happends to be his dad) , or he could travel to the other side of the world to Paris. Where he could further study art at one of the most prestigious universities.

When he had sent in his application last February he honestly wasn't expecting any sort of reply, be it good or bad. But as the days went on and the thought of going to Paris dissolved the unexpected happend (jungkook's words not mine). On a late Tuesday afternoon a letter had arrived for the youngster, the contents being an acceptance confirmation to the university.

To say he was overjoyed would be an understatement. The boy had ran around the house shouting in delight, his bunny smile stretched from ear to ear and a bounce in his step.

The first to hear the news was his mother. Who had been in her office signing some documents before her son barged through the door, waving a piece of paper in his hand.

As soon as she stood up from her chair she was met with a big hug.

"mom mom I got in!!. I did it, I get to go to Paris!." Jungkook exclaimed while spinning in circles with his mom.

Ms.Jeon was also delighted to hear the news. Knowing her sons love for art, she knew how much this ment to him.

Placing a kiss on his forehead she went on to praise jungkook's hard work.

" you did so well baby. I /knew/ you would make it in, I mean with such good skills it doesn't even seem surprising."

A little pink tinted his cheeks as he heard his mother being so proud of him. Of course she would always praise her son but it felt extra special knowing his parents- well his mom supported his carrer options. His dad was a whole other story.

That night, jungkook announced the news to his family over dinner. His sister was as excited as him, promising to buy him the latest paints and canvases. His father on the other showed little to no emotiones just giving a slight nod.

Although jungkook expected this he still heard his heart break a little knowing his dad wasn't that fond of the path that he wanted to go on.

Sensing the tention between her husband and son, Ms. Jeon decided to start a conversation on the knew gaming console. Already knowing how much jungkook loved video games.

After dinner jungkook made his way to his room. Feeding his pet bunny before getting ready for bed.

As he lay in bed that night he thought about his dad. He wasn't a bad father, not at all, he would buy jungkook the best of the best, never let jungkook feel unloved and surround him with 'his kind of people', which just consisted of rich, snobby teens. But his father only saw the rich side in them.

But of course everything comes with a price and in jungkook's case that means taking over his dad's marine company.

For the first few years, the thought of running a well-known business sparked joy in jungkook (I mean he was only 8 years old.... Talk about bad parenting). As time went on the now teen started discovering himself and matured, realising quickly that the idea of sitting in an office room every single day and checking files didn't sound that leasing anymore. (understandable).

As time went on and he gained some confidence jungkook had made up the decision that he would deny his dad's offer. And to no ones surprise Mr.Jeon was left in shock, jungkook had never gone against any of his requests be it big or small. Instead of trying to argue with his son Mr. Jeon just gave a cold stare to him before leaving the room.
