It was a Sunday morning, a beautiful mansion was in view. The chirping of birds was heard, a cool breeze was blowing, and everything was perfect and peaceful. But a certain old man was not having a great morning. Mr. Kim or should we say Kim Daeyun, one of the most successful CEOs of all time, was really being fussy with his wife, Kim Taeshi, regarding their son's habits.

"Uffo! Why are you always like this? My baby didn't do anything wrong. Did he bring any girl home? No. Did he come home drunk? No. Then why do you always complain about him?" Taeshi defended her son for the nth time.

"You don't understand! He always comes home late at home after doing all those reckless races and wakes up late in the morning. Does he have some responsibilities or not?" Daeyun again repeated the same thing he says every day. Seeing the sweet-sour bickering of the couple, Mr. Kim's secretary or more specifically their most trusted employee and friend, Cha Sanghyun, just laughed softly. The couple went to the dining table for breakfast, still bickering about their son.

"No, no. I told you, it's okay for him to do such things at this age. After all, this is the age to have fun." The wife again reasoned.

"Fun, my foot! Soon, he will graduate and have to take over the company. But if he goes like this, then I doubt what will happen to the company." The concerned male said and for some odd reason Sanghyun was feeling weird about Daeyun's comment but he let it slide away.

"No, ma'am. Sir is right. The way these two boys are living their lives. I am worried about what will happen to their future." Sanghyun commented while sighing

"Don't worry, they know what they are doing. So let them live their lives the way they want to," Taeshi uttered, and both the males knew that there was no use arguing with Kim Taeshi, so they just let it go and continued to have their breakfast.

The warm rays of the sun crept up the whole room. His sharp sculpted face and sharp jawlines reflected the light perfectly. His blond hair with light golden highlights shone under the sun's rays. He scrunched his nose as the rays hit his eyes and fluttered them open before closing them again.

But that did not last long when he heard the human alarm yelling, "KIM JERK TAEHYUNG! WAKE UP THIS INSTANT OR YOU WILL SEE THE WORST OF ME!" Taeshi yelled across the room and the said male immediately fell from the bed while groaning.

[A/N - Any deja vu feeling? Well, then this is not the only thing. You will have many more deja vu feelings in the future. 😉]

"Aish! Mom, it is just 1 pm, not that late. Moreover, it's Sunday. So please let me sleep more," Taehyung complained while rubbing his head where he got hurt due to the fall.

"Let me sleep, my foot! Wake up right now or else you won't like what I will do next!" Taeshi warned.

Taehyung did not pay attention and went back to sleep again. However, before he could, a hand twisted his ear and he screamed out of pain. "Ahhhhhhhh! Mom, leave me, it hurts. Okay, okay, fine. I am getting up. But please, leave my ear, Mom." Taehyung cried out in pain.

Soon, Taehyung got up and hurriedly dressed. He again thought of laying on his bed, but to his bad luck, his mom was waiting for him and again dragged him by ear downstairs while scolding him.

The blond was wincing in pain and saw his dad sitting in the living room. His eyes met with his father as he silently asked him for help. Daeyun understood the signal and immediately came in to rescue him.

"Yeobo, my darling, my sweet cheeks, come here and give some attention to your dear husband as well. What are you doing? All you do is just work and work. Give yourself a break too. Come here, your hubby will shower you with love and kisses." Daeyun was being extra sweet and Taeshi immediately let go of Taehyung's ear and grabbed her husband's, who also winced in pain.

"You are trying to rescue him, huh? He will get away but who will save you now, honey?" Taeshi uttered in a fake sweet tone making Daeyun cry in misery while their son just laughed at them.

"Taehyung, you brat, come and help me!" He heard his father yelling.

"Sorry not sorry, Dad. But you deserve it. Bye-bye." With that, he ran away to the dining room.

"You ungrateful brat! I will see you. Next time, I'm not gonna save you." Daeyun felt betrayed by his son.

After giving Daeyun his lesson, Taeshi went to give Taehyung his breakf-- sorry, his lunch. She served all the food so that the younger could eat wholeheartedly. Daeyun saw this and scoffed, "Yeah, yeah! Feed him more and make him a pig. Where people are now having their lunch. This prince of laziness is having his breakfast! Wow, just wow!"

"Mom!" Taehyung whined and pouted.

Taeshi gasped at her husband's words and said, "You old man, how dare you call my baby a pig?! Just see how skinny he became. Baby cub, don't listen to him and just eat." Taehyung stuck out his tongue at his father and teased him.

Both the author and readers sighed for the nth time seeing the bipolarity of the Kim couple.

After bickering and completing his brunch, Taehyung was ready to set off for his day. Just then his mother stopped him, "Tae, when will you stop this thing huh and be like a normal person?" To say Taehyung was shocked would be lying, he was kind of hurt thinking his mother classified him as an abnormal person, just because he was a little reckless.

Daeyun was happy that finally his wife took notice of their son's deeds and is trying to make him understand. But that did not mean she would call their son abnormal. Before he could say anything, Taehyung beat him.

"Mom, what do you mean?" Taehyung asked with a little sad tone. But the answer Taeshi gave made both the father-son duo want to dig a hole and bury themselves.

"Baby, what I am saying is when you will be like a normal adult and bring your girlfriend home so that I can also enjoy the fun of having a daughter-in-law. You are now in your final semester and soon your college will be over, so I am just worried, you know." Taeshi answered with an innocent smile playing with her dress's hem.

At that point, the author was fed up with her own created dramatic characters.

"Mom, I already told you that I don't have a girlfriend, rather I don't even like girls in that way," the younger male replied to his 'desperate for daughter-in-law' mother.

"Okay, fine. If you are not into girls, then at least bring me my son-in-law. I am okay with anyone. You just fall in love. And rest I will handle!" Taeshi requested, showing her puppy eyes.

The blond just sighed and left the house, taking his bike keys. Taeshi went to her husband and sighed, before saying, "Why is he like this?"

Daeyun consoled his wife, "Don't worry, at the right moment, he will find his right and true life partner."

The old lady leaned on her husband's shoulder and thought out, "I wonder who that right person will be."

Little did they know that soon their son would meet with his ultimate match and life partner.
