[ JOONG ]

"me, handling this company?" I said to my father with frustrated voice.

"keep your voice and respect me. I am your father, so I can decide what will happen in your life!" my father said and slammed the table.

"no! I am still studying. just please, let me finish my school. I don't want to have a company while studying! I don't want to be gemini. you made him handle a company, he's still a kid!"

"kid? no, he's not. I made him pick, and he pick studying while handling my casino company. you will never understand because you only cared about yourself!"

"myself?! I gave my whole life just to make you proud! so stop spitting nonsensical words because you never knew what I went through!" a slap went on my cheeks.

"don't disrespect me joong! I gave up my life just to be in this position! can't you give your gratitude to me? joong, I sacrificed everything just to feed you three!"

"sorry father, but no. please respect my decision." I said and left the dining room, and went straight to my room.

someone knocked on my door. I made that person enter. it was gemini.

"hey bro." he said in a calm tone.

"I heard you and father fighting earlier. is it about the company, again?" he added. I nodded slightly.

"you know bro. I know father forced me to handle one of his company. yeah, I'm still a kid. I also wants to study too, I want to be a kid. but I guess this is my destiny. to be a workaholic student. I have so many sleepless nights and I sometimes sleep in my classroom." he made a light chuckle.

"but, why did I accepted father's offer? because, I want to give him the hard work he gave us. that's my sign of love to him. I may not be happy with this. but at least, I made him happy." he added.

"I know that the last thing he will ask is p'pond. and I am sure he will be stubborn just like you. rethink your decision phi. let us be proud of you."

"so, who's the older brother here?" I said teasingly, we both chuckled.

"of course you phi." he smiled and left me room.

I checked my dm's for update, of course. I saw my dad's chats.

[ A FEW HOURS LATER ]
   ( 9 PM // DINNER )

I was walking downstairs to eat dinner with my family, I sat down and ate my food.

"joong, did you rethink your decision?" my father asked, I looked at him.

"yes. I will handle your company." I said, still eating my food.

"good. I thought we will fought again about this." my father said in relief.
