Sixteen. Adopted bunny

"I need to tell you something important-"

"Are you going to reveal that you're a prostitute yet? Because you already know that-"

Seokjin moans in pain, Heitan beside him hit his head and Jin smiles kindly at his dad. He saved him from a ridiculous argument with his brother. Which would ruin a lot of what he wants to expose right now. Jin clears his throat, nervously with the folder in his hands. His mom looks at him with a bored look, almost annoyed that they're wasting late night time here on possible nonsense.

"I took college entrance exams on different study projects" Jin reports. Both Heitan and Hyejun look at him with surprise. "I got into robotics, computer science, programming and chemistry. I was the one who got the best grades in all four." He pulls all the files out of the folder and shuffles them towards them. They each take two, reading.

Seokjin frowns, suspicious of what this might mean or why Jin made such a big deal out of it to begin with.

"I also took all the exams the high school required and I'm on the list of graduates for this year" Jin pulls out another paper, handing it to Heitan. "If I'm honest, everything I've seen since last year is very easy for me and I've been reading a lot of scientific reports. I want to go further now" He licks his lips and his voice trembles slightly. There is no specific reaction from either of them. "And for that take the problem for myself."

"That's fine with me." Is all Hyejun says in his favor. Jin nods his head softly.

"Then what, should I be surprised?" interjects Seokjin, irritated. "I can do it no problem. Other people have done it too. What's so important about this? I don't even think you could do it. You're useless. You must have slept with the university rector and -"

"Seokjin Be quiet!" scolds Heitan, tensing Seokjin up. "Unless you have something of equal value to brag about SHUT UP!" Jin doesn't hide the smirk. "Do you have something specific in mind for this? I doubt you did it just to have a challenge." he interjects curiously. Jin shakes his head.

"I want to get a job at Royal Pharmaceutic to get field experience while I study" Heitan nods softly and Hyejun crosses his arms. "I want to move and live by myself."

"You? By yourself?" argues Seokjin. "To prostitute yourself to your heart's content? You can't just go show your ass, you stupid fucking-"

Jin gives an exclamation as does Hyejun. Heitan grabbed Seokjin by the head and slammed him on the table. Picking him up, he has a bloody nose, giving slight and pained snorts. He shakes him a little "What did I tell you, shut up, for, one, damn, time." Heitan lets him go roughly and Seokjin holds his hands to his face, stopping the bleeding and trying not to cry from the pain. Jin turns his gaze back to his progenitor.

"What will you do if we say no? To work. You've always been free to leave." mentions Heitan and Jin bites his lips.

"I would work somewhere else, but I'm not going to stop or not pursue this aspiration. It's what I want and what I'm going to get no matter what."

Hyejun closes his eyes, giving an annoyed sigh and Heitan doesn't avoid a laugh, leaning back in the seat. Jin waits for what they might say. The only thing that interests him, is to be employed. The rest is indifferent. In case he doesn't accept, he can go to Namjoon's company. He would give him the opportunity he needs for that.

"Okay" Heitan stands up and goes to behind Jin. "During these weeks, your mom and I have been monitoring your progress, how qualified you are... and we both came to the conclusion that, as of now, the next president of Royal Pharmaceutic will be you" Seokjin looks at them in shock and disbelief. He even looks for his mom's gaze, but she stands straight ahead. "You are the most qualified and-"
