Pick • me! (The rebellious one) || VMin

24. Making boundaries

"Hello?"

"Jimin? I'm Yoongi, Taehyung's dad." Jimin's lips stick out slightly. Did something go wrong? "I'm calling because I wanted to know if you rejected being his Omega or is he just being melodramatic."

"Why the question? Did he say I rejected him?" Jimin questions, impressed. Yoongi's weary sigh almost elicits a laugh.

"He hasn't stopped crying since yesterday and he's being a real threat to my nose and Hoseok's. Did you rejected him?" Jimin answers him with what he said. Almost exactly. "Oh well, he's just being dramatic. When do you think you can have that talk? I don't think my nose can do much and nothing is going to convince him that he's being exaggerated."

"I think tomorrow or the day after. First I have to resubmit a project that a professor asked me for. He wants to send it to get me a small position in a legal information magazine." Yoongi gives a vague Ummm, "anyway, if it helps I can call him."

"Please. before he floods the house with his tears."

Jimin laughs. Yoongi sounds so exhausted from everything, but you can tell he's someone who cares about his son's emotional stability and helping him in any way he can.

"Oh, Taehyung, I thought I'd have to go do witchcraft to get him to reconsider you and in reality, nothing happens!" Hoseok pats him on the head, exasperated with his son and his tendency to blow everything out of proportion. The worst thing is that he continues like this for the rest of the day.

Even the next day.

Until the next time Jimin comes home, Hoseok greets him and it has to be Yoongi who drags his son into the bathroom and shakes him so that he reacts and decides to go downstairs once and for all.

Let's see if his life is resolved.

"I want to drop out of college."

Yoongi looks at him in such a way that Taehyung knows only one thing: he screwed up in an apotheotic way.

"Huh? What's that noise?"

"I don't know. Maybe they tripped." Hoseok says. He and Jimin look up, surprised by the crash on the upper floor. They assume it's nothing since there are no screams or calls for help.

. . .

"Are you okay?"

"Not exactly."

Taehyung sniffles. He doesn't know what he's sadder about now. The "rejection" or the talk his dad gave him without time to even process. Practically warning him that if he dares to leave college, he will be kicked out of the house and he can forget about this family. That his behavior is going from being acceptable, to an absolute manipulation of situations that he makes more serious to victimize himself. For Yoongi, Taehyung and his way of being have not involved a real problem. Just small moments of laughing, rolling his eyes or sending him to therapy to make sure his mental health is okay. As well as not needing medication.

To this day, the only thing Taehyung has had is a victim complex. Mild enough to not need any medication, just constant therapy. He seems to have leveled up this time:

Where he seeks pity from his parents.

He seeks pity from the people he meets.

He seeks pity from the Omega who rejected him.

The big conclusion is that Yoongi is not going to put up with this attitude. He is not going to let himself be manipulated by his son. If it had been Hoseok, he would have given him permission to take a semester or a year off from college. Fortunately, it was not him in this situation.
