THIRD'S POV

"What happened to you?" Mr park eyed his son's split lip.

"Party get out of hand?"

Jimin shrugged, too tired to dialogue with his dad.

"Something like that." he mumbled as he poured
himself a cup of coffee.

It was almost dawn before
he finally fell asleep and
then, he was plagued by unsettling dreams.

"Tell me it was Lee who
clocked you."

"What?" Jimin frowned.

"Why?"

"Because you deserve it."

He sighed and sipped the
coffee black, needing a
pure shot of caffeine.

"What're you talking about?"

"She called earlier and told
me you two broke up."

Here we go.

"That's right."

"Did you not hear a damn
thing I told you yesterday?"

"I heard." He murmured.

"You just don't know how
to listen, is that it?"

"She's not the one for me."

"She's a bitch."

"A mean and cruel bitch."

"I don't want to be with
someone like that."

"For fuck's sake, she's a
woman."

"Of course, she's a
bitch."

"The best ones are."

"I don't love her."

His dad huffed.

"What's love got to do with anything? Marriage is a businesspartnership."

"You don't choose a business partner based on
sentimentality. Grow up."

He pulled out a stool and
sat at the counter, his head throbbing, though he hadn't
been drinking at the party.

It wasn't a hangover head-
ache it was fucking stress.

And this back-and-forth
with his dad wasn't helping.

"We broke up, It's done."

"No, it is not done." Mr
park countered.

"Fix things with her and your friends, What the hell were
you thinking of kicking
them out last night?"

"Are you trying to alienate everyone from your life?"

Maybe I am.

Jimin stared into his cup.

"Maybe I need a new
group of friends."

"What is with you lately?" his
dad snapped.

"It's as if you're determined
to fuck up your life before it
even gets started."

Jimin sighed. "I'm just... reevaluating some things."

"Reevaluate this." His dad smacked the counter next to Jimin, making him flinch.

"Fix your relationship with
Lee and your friends or
you're on your own after graduation."

"If you want to fuck up your
life, you're not doing it on
my dime."

Roger that, Jimin thought
as the man left the kitchen.

I wouldn't expect anything
less from you, dad.
