Chapter 39: Yoongi's Corrupted Charm

The sun of the afternoon sky was bright and warm and the shadows of the rustling leaves of trees dance on the crystal window panes. One would think that nothing wrong would come to happen on such a wonderful day... at least not for Yoongi.

The soft sobs of his mother pricked his heart like tiny needles.

Yoongi originally thought that the only reason his mother dragged him out from his training was that he needed to compensate her for the time he hadn't spent with her. They would have lovely tea, talk with smiles on their faces, and even banter with each other. Unfortunately, what happened after they sat down for tea in his mother's precious tearoom caught him off guard. Lady Marielle suddenly burst out in tears right in front of him.

Honestly, he didn't know what to do.

"Mother, please tell me what's wrong?"

"Son..." She said, her voice quivering, "Do you not trust your mother?"

Wiping the tears from under her eyes with a handkerchief, she peeked at his worried expression with a smile inside.

"How could I not trust you? What would make you think of that?" Yoongi nervously asked. Did he do something wrong? But he was sure he didn't recall anything he had done to hurt his dear mother.

With a glint under her wet lashes, she looked straight into her son's silver eyes. "Why didn't you tell me that you have decided to travel to Thaeria for the Azuran Academy? Do... you not have your mother in your mind when you confided to your father?" She said between sobs as tears fell down from her cheeks. She looked betrayed and hurt.

Yoongi blinked. I... what?

With furrowed eyebrows, he sighed. His eyes staring helplessly at his mother. Admittedly, he did forget to tell her. His brothers already knew from their father but he guessed they were planning to tell her a bit later. Mother was obviously sensitive about Yoongi once again leaving the manor.

"I'm sorry. I was planning to tell mother sooner." Yoongi apologized, his tone both soft and careful. To his dismay, his mother continued to cry.

Yoongi felt helpless with the current situation, his forehead began to sweat as his mother's soft sobs entered his ears. What should he do? He wasn't particularly good at comforting people.

"Mother, please don't cry. What should I do to ease your distress?" He surrendered. He shifted slightly on his seat.

The moment his words sank into her ears, Lady Marielle stopped. She looked at her son after she wiped away the wetness on her bright eyes. "Do you want to ease away my sadness?"

Facing the unusual shift of his mother's mood, Yoongi unconsciously gulped. How was it so easy for her to change her mood? He felt that he was already caught in a trap. "I-I will do what you wish"

She smiled.

"Then will you not blame your dear mother if she wishes to steal every hour of your day?"

"Pardon?" Yoongi blinked.

Wouldn't that completely disrupt his training sessions?

Lady Marielle frowned at her son's reaction. "Silly fool, I wouldn't keep you from your training. I only want to spend more time with you before you leave for the Azuran Recruitment trials". Honestly, this son of hers... so adorable.

"Ah... I had misunderstood" He sheepishly whispered, redness covering his cheeks. "Then I will comply with Madam's wishes".

" Indeed, you shall"
