Keeping up with the Kim's.

Growing up | Part 3.

♠️

That night, Taehyung, Arabella, Myungshi and Kwangsun were gathered, against the youngest's will.

Arabella didn't really care either, but Taehyung and Myungshi were claiming that it was a crisis that needed to be taken care of immediately.

"Open the envelopes." Taehyung spoke, Myungshi standing besides him with an aggravated look on his face.

Arabella and Kwangsun, too tired to even try to process the situation did as told, opening the big brown envelopes they were given when they entered Taehyung's office earlier, only to find pictures inside.

"Are you guys serious ?" Arabella asked, looking back at them.

"Yes this is extremely important, Dabin is dating !" Taehyung answered.

"So ?"

"Do you know how old she is ?" Myungshi asked, raised his brows.

"How old were you when you began to be a whore ? The question counts for the two of you, by the way." Arabella answered, grabbing a picture to look at her daughter with Hyunwoo, a small smile forming on her lips. "Plus it's not that bad, they look cute together.. Even though she looks quite annoyed, they'd be a cute couple."

"I agree with Mama, Binnie's sixteen, she never dated anyone before.. I think the two of you should consider yourselves lucky, most teenagers start doing worse stuff before sixteen.." Kwangsun butted in.

"Well before that boy got in the picture, we had Jungkook ! Jungkook was Dabin's one and only, but now that this Han Hyunwoo guy is here, he'll mess up everything." Taehyung spoke.

"And why don't you monitor me like that, Papa ?" He asked, crossing his arms against his chest. "Or even Myungshi-Hyung while we're at it ? Why don't we have a leash as tight as Dabin's ?"

Arabella was pleasantly surprised, raising her brows as she pursed her lips in amusement, waiting for her husband's reaction.

Kwangsun wasn't one to confront other people, so seeing him defend his sister so passionately made Arabella proud of him, hoping that one day he'll defend himself just as hard.

But after all, it was common knowledge that Dabin was his favorite sibling.

"Well it's not the same-"

"How so ?" Kwangsun cut him off, furrowing his eyebrows. "First of all, I think it's creepy how you hired someone to follow Dabin like that."

Kwangsun had no idea about to business, so naturally, he didn't know it was primarily for Dabin's safety.

But still, the use he was making of the information clearly had nothing to do with safety.

"Wow, you seem to take it very personally." Myungshi scoffed.

"Yeah, because you guys schemed this behind Dabin's back knowing that if she was here, she wouldn't care about dad or brother and make sure you never see the sun again."

"Two grown men scared of the same, sixteen year-old girl, probably want us to tell her to break it off with her boyfriend because they know she'll only listen to Mama and Kwang-Oppa.. Right ?" Arabella spoke, staring back and forth at her husband and her son. "That's really low."

She ripped the pictures to shreds and tossed them in the trash before standing up.

"If you don't leave my daughter alone, it'll get really ugly, so you better let her leave."
