COMMITMENT? || Kookmin

Chapter:25: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

"You know what is your problem, Mr. Kim? Now that I'm your boss, and you're my employee, I've noticed that despite admiring my achievements, you seem to struggle with something else. Is it my attitude? Because if someone else had accomplished what I have, you'd have praised them by now. I wonder why you hold me to a different standard" I fired. I won't tolerate nonsense. Everyone should respect me. I'm nobody puppet.

"Well, regardless of that, I'll be damned if I let my son date someone like you. Your ego is too inflated, and I don't want him to be around someone who acts as if they're the center of the universe. I have higher standards for my son and his partner" Mr Kim walked closer to Jungkook.

"That's exactly the problem, mate. When you don't get something you only stand to fight but never adjust, it's like going to war over everything that you don't like. It's as stubborn as him - both always wanting to win at all costs. You might not understand it now, but life isn't a zero-sum game. It's about give-and-take, maintaining balance. If you keep acting this way, every argument becomes an all-or-nothing scenario. you won't balance out things like this" Mr Kim compared both taehyung and jungkook stubbornly and stroked it as recipe for disaster.

"I get what you're saying, but why should I do something I don't want to do, just to maintain some so-called 'balance'? I have my principles and beliefs. I'm not going to compromise them just so others can feel better. Isn't that just appeasement?" Jungkook fired. Taehyung smirked seeing his dad being charged like this. He don't feel bad.

"You are too low for his standard. Both love money how will you balance that"

"I see. So, your issues with me now extend to my personal life? Let me assure you that my professional conduct and attitude are not indicative of my character in every aspect of my life. I am not the self-centered person you're making me out to be, Mr. Kim" I tried to reason that.

"Then why don't you show that side of yourself more often, in a professional setting? Perhaps if you did, I might see the person you claim to be. But as it stands now, I can only judge you based on what I've seen. And for that reason, you are an unsuitable match for my son" both started to glare in anger.

"Dad, I don't understand why you're saying this. I've only been with him for ten days, but I can already see that he's perfect for me" taehyung reasoned.

"I don't agree, that's final. This is just an impulsive decision. If you know his behaviour you'll leave him automatically" Mr Kim snicked seeing both of them.

"But why? What's wrong with him?"

"He doesn't even know you. You barely know him. You're just rushing into this"

"I know him well enough. He's kind, compassionate, funny...he's everything I've ever wanted in a partner"

"But you don't know what he's like when he's angry or stressed. You don't know what his values are, or what he wants out of life. You don't even know if he's honest"

"I don't care. I love him"

"Love is blind, and it can lead you to make terrible mistakes. You need to slow down and think this through"

"I don't want to think it through. I know what I want, and I want him. Do you know how we both are? We are made for each other we think same way and behave the same way. I see no problem in that. If you have problem with my attitude even he has the same. We are similar" Jungkook fought. He knows this fight is unnecessary but his ego is touched already he hates to work under this man now he have to stand like this. Taehyung held Jungkook hands smiling. He love it there was a smile plastered on his face seeing his dad charged by Jungkook.

"You're going to regret this. Life is not about ordering same coffee in some random cafe to show how similar you are it's all about making the coffee together to understand how much sugar he wants in his coffee" Mr Kim spat in anger.

"We are not asking your permission. I brought him here to show him" taehyung turn his heels to walk out but Mrs Kim stop both.

"Okay I'm telling you..you are imperfect not match for my son but you say otherwise right. Fine in four days his elder sister marriage is there prove yourself to my family. if they agree I'll agree you. don't do anything just he yourself I'll find out what they think of your true behaviour, don't impress anyone it's okay if you behave the same. I want at least ten person to agree to your relationship and if they agree I'll give my son hand to you along with ceo position if not you should leave my son with the job under him" Mrs Kim smirked giving a stupid challenge to Jungkook and taehyung got very angry.

"Accepted" taehyung agreed almost instantaneously. Jungkook smiled.

"Mom I'm okay with this. My man will impress everyone there I guarantee you" he is over confident.

Jungkook smirk and put his hand on tae waist smirking "Not ten members Ma'am even if anyone person told me I'm not right for him you don't do anything, I'll walk out myself" they both walked out arrogantly.

" they are not perfect jk wants money and status tae wants puppet that's what their relation is" Mrs kim said watching both of them walking as if they will win it. Mr Kim smile this is what marrige should have understanding- it's been 25 years to their marriage she always support him to thick and thin.

They are being stubborn, refusing to compromise or see eye to eye on anything. Their incompatible personalities and values are causing constant tension and arguments, making it clear that their relationship is doomed to fail. It's obvious that they are not meant to be together, as their stubbornness and inability to work through their differences will eventually lead to the downfall of their relationship. They may try to hold on, but in the end, their stubbornness will be their ultimate downfall.

AN: if you aren't noticing it. Let me explain a bit....

Jungkook relationship with taehyung is only external pleasure, it's all about money, sex and beauty. People tend to fight a lot for this even though they are not sure about the person. This is the reality.

While his relationship with jimin is real. It's all about character and camaraderie. He don't fight for it because he don't know the value of personality and character. He is trapped in social dynamics to have lots of money or a beautiful partner.

WARNING ⚠️

IN NO WAY IM SAYING JIMIN IS NOT BEAUTIFUL EXTERNALLY BUT HIS BEAUTY IS DEFINED BY INNER VALUE AS HUMAN HE HAS.

SIMILARLY IN NO WAY IM SAYING TAEHYUNG IS CHARACTERLESS. HIS CHARM IS NOT DEFINED RIGHT NOW BUT ILL GIVE HIM A CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT MOVING ON.

DONOT HATE ANY CHARACTER
