The Rich Man's Son

Chapter 33

As the sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the winding road, the interior of the car was filled with an air of quiet anticipation. A woman maneuvered the vehicle down the highway. Her hands rested on the steering wheel with a sense of purpose.

“I’m coming back, Chim,” she said softly, her voice carrying a mixture of resolve and tenderness. “Just wait. Mommy will come back.”

In the passenger seat, a young boy, was excited. His eyes were wide with curiosity and anticipation as he looked out the window, his hands gripping the edge of his seat.

“Mom?” he asked, turning to her with a bright smile. “Are we going to Busan? Are we going to finally meet my brother?”

The woman glanced over at him, her face softening with a hint of a smile. "Yes, baby. Hang on tight!"

Flashback

"Ugh true, the steak there was so awful!" Mrs. Min exclaimed, sighing as she placed her glass that was filled with wine on the table.

"I couldn't believe they would prepare a steak that was still very uncooked! I could still hear the cow mooing!" The lady answered back. "Hey Sunmi, about Yoongi's place. How is he holding up? Are you planning to take him back?"

"Of course! He's doing great actually. He's now very respectful and knows how to handle money so well now. My baby has grown!" She exclaimed. "And his boyfriend is so hot, can you imagine?"

The lady shot a confusing look to Yoongi. "A boyfriend? Wow, Yoongi's really up to something, huh? What was his status? His work? His name? His lifestyle? Anything?" The lady asked her, since she was a bit curious about Yoongi's boyfriend. Of course she was worried, she didn't want Yoongi to end up with a bastard!

"Well, I heard his boyfriend's working in a coffee shop together with his brother. But I also heard that it isn't his real brother, he just raised him since his parents left him when he was young." Mrs. Min whispered.

"Though, his name is very familiar. I heard it was Jimin."

End of flashback

*****

The next morning, Yoongi arrived at the café earlier than usual. Jimin was still sound asleep, so Yoongi decided to leave him undisturbed. As he swept the floors, Jin was busy in his office, and Namjoon had left for work since he was a Psychologist.

The bell above the café door jingled, signaling someone’s entrance. Yoongi looked up and saw a woman walking in with a young boy beside her.

"Jungkook?"

*****

"Baby? Are you here?" Jimin wandered in their apartment as he sighed, knowing Yoongi had left him.

He showered, wore his usual clothes, as he jogged off the apartment.

As he approached the café, he noticed something unusual. Standing inside, a woman and a young boy were deep in conversation with Yoongi and Jin. The woman was holding the boy's hand, and they all looked very serious.

Jimin, curious and slightly apprehensive, crept closer to hear what was going on. He could catch snippets of the heated conversation.

Jin was shouting, his face red with frustration. “No! I told you, absolutely not! Jimin is not going anywhere with you. He’s happy here, and you have no right to just come in and take him away!”

The woman, standing her ground, shouted back, “What’s mine is mine, Jin! I don’t know why you’re making this so difficult. I left Jimin here all those years ago because I had no choice. I’ve sent him letters, gifts, everything I could, but you kept it from him! You have no right to keep him away from me now!”
