High School Love || KTH

Chapter 24

{ Sometimes we need to fight for ourself }

TAEHYUNG'S POV

I entered the house with quiet steps. My arrival was only noticed by Jun who was having his snack at the dinning table.

He waved at me with his boyish smile and I returned him by my boxy smile which didn't reach my eyes. And he seemed to sense it .

" Hyung you look abit tense everything ok ?"

" Nothing just career option form was given and I filled it ."

" So you filled your dream?"

" Yes I filled it after alot of courage but eomma and appa...." I expressed my worry

" Hyung I always rooted for you silently. I couldn't interfere because I was the youngest ,so I never had a say in the house. But whenever you saw something related to fashion your eyes would shine. So I thought ' Ah hyung must really like fashion '
I was sometimes envious because you found your dream and I never. But my envy was smaller than my love for you . I don't know about what our parents will say but always remember that I will be supporting you not financially but emotionally."

His words made my heart bloomed with warmth. Taejun has always been an obedient child and always a lil bro to me but now the lil bro has become mature.

" My little Jun has grown up now " I teased him and he whined. We both laughed and continued our banter.

Time Skip

The evening arrived so did my parents. All of us were having our dinner quietly.

After our meal was over I initiated a conversation. I took a deep breath and said

" Appa since it is the last year of highschool, the school has given us a career choice form and I filled the form. " My voice came out nervous which my parents caught on .

" Show me the form " Appa said in a calm tone .

I presented my form to my parents and their reactions were something I expected. But what I didn't expected was , Appa tearing my form .

The sound of the tearing erupted goosebumps on my body. It took seconds for him to tear my form or should I say my dream.

" Honey you shouldn't have done that !" My mom exclaimed.

" Then should I let him do whatever he wants."

" You could have talked out with him but that was extreme. He is a child afterall."

" This child of yours wants to do business. Business! is not something people like us do . "

" STOP IT!" I exclaimed. They were arguing but not one of them supported me .

" Behave Taehyung this isn't the way you should talk." My father warned.

" Then how should I talk? You just tore my form into pieces. It didn't took you a second. You tore my dream appa . My dream! Why can't both of you support me? Trust me ?" I questioned them. My eyes were blurry due to my tears . My thorat was now starting to ache .

" Your dream is something unrealistic. If you want to become a doctor, lawyer or even a chef we would have supported you. But entrepreneur? You are still not grown my child. The world out there will eat you up with your one mistake. I don't want my son to suffer. " He justified

" But you are the cause of my suffering. I have not grown yet ? Because you never allowed me to grow. What is wrong being an entrepreneur? I agree that there are risks in it but I can overcome that. Why can't you just believe your son ?" My words were unintentionally harsh .

" Easy saying than doing my son . " He said with the same harsh tone I used.

" Taehyung your appa is right. Business is not easy. You will face many problems and we can't be there for you at that time. We just want an secure future for you." My mom gently said

" And work 9-5 job like a donkey. You guys want a secure future for me but not a happy future. And as if you guys have been there for me whenever I needed you . Eomma was there for me but not always. And appa I don't have a memory in which you were there for me or Jun . BECAUSE FOR YOU YOUR JOB WAS THE FIRST PRIORITY AND NOT YOUR SONS " I bursted on both of them.

And in return I got a slap from my father. His red eyes were reflecting his anger. My mom gasped at his slap and Jun was shocked because our father has never raised his hand on us . But today was an exception.

His eyes soften after seeing my hurtful expression. I put my hand where he slapped me .

" I will again fill the form and write the same thing. Even if I have to go against you" I said and left the house. I ignored my mom's calling and went towards the park .

The same park where I hugged my moonlight. Moonlight, Oh god! I need her now .

" Partner!"

And as if god heard my prayer she was infront of me with her huge smile. And that smile healed my frustrated soul .

Y/N'S POV

I was having a walk in the park when I noticed Taehyung. I called him out and gave him a huge smile. But his tears made me panic . He ran towards me and gave a tight hug.

He buried his face in my neck . His sobs made my heart ache. I just patted his back and hugged him more tightly.

His sobs subsided and now he was drinking water. We sat on the nearby bench . His cheek had a mark of fingers. As if he was slapped by someone. I caressed his cheek and he flinched before I could withdraw my hand . He caught it and leaned in my touch.

" What happened partner?" I asked in a calm but worried voice.

" I had a huge fight with my parents regarding my dream. As usual they didn't supported me . But my words were harsh so I received a slap from appa ." He said while leaning in my palm with closed eyes.

" Should I talk with them?"

" No need moonlight. They aren't going to listen to you or anyone else."

" But-

" No but . I am going to pursue my dream even if I need to go against them. And at one point of time they will support me . Right moonlight?"

" They will partner. Afterall parents can't be away from their children for long."

I pulled him in a hug and kissed his forehead. He snuggled into me after kissing my cheeks.

We hugged eachother like our life was dependent on it .
