-💔-

There were no plans for him to barge into his house but now that he just came from giving his resignation, he has basically nothing to do anymore. He had some brunch alone in a cafe because he was hungry and he didn't have breakfast. He definitely ate more than he should, maybe because he was angry too.

Now that he is a bit calmed down and on a full stomach, there's no other appropriate time to barge into his house to demand answers. Parking his car in the driveway, quickly gets out of it, accidentally slamming the card door shut too hard. Cursing under his breath, he walks over to the front door of his house, ringing the bell and in just a matter of seconds the door is opened by one of the servants. She quickly bows to him out of respect.

“Where is dad?” Taehyung asks her and she thinks about it for a second.

“He is sitting with ma'am in the lounge.” She responded and Taehyung just nodded.

He storms into the long hallways of his family home. Passing by some more servants that are working around the house. He doesn't hear much, but as he gets closer to the lounge his dad's distinct voice could be heard along with his sister in law's soft laughter. With his palm on the big doors, he pushes it open and enters the air conditioned lounge.

His dad was sitting comfortably on the couch and right next to him was Seulhee, his sister in law, with a tea cup in her hands. They were having their afternoon tea together. They both turn to look at who just entered and get surprised when they see none other than Taehyung. A smile creeps up to their faces but Seulhee immediately notices the energy around Taehyung and it feels heavy.

“Taehyung! my star! What a pleasant surprise.” His dad has a wide grin on his face, he is so happy to see him that Taehyung is already feeling guilty for being worked up about it. He tries to stand up to go over and hug him but Taehyung stops him with his hands.

“It is a nice surprise but it's rather sudden? What brought you here, Taehyung?” Seulhee asked him with a calm tone in her voice. Her eyes were analyzing him and she was so soft spoken. These two are the last people he wants to argue with but this conservation cannot wait.

“I quit my job.” Taehyung announces and the room goes silent for a second.

“I'm sorry, what happened? Did Sehoon give you a hard time? Is there something I can do to help? I can call your brother right now-” His father tries to get his phone but is cut off by Taehyung.

“You have done enough, dad. You have already done too much for me.” Taehyung clenches his fist tightly. It's taking everything in him to not feel overwhelmed right now. Do not act like a spoiled brat.

“What is happening,my star? I don't understand. Did I do something to upset you?” His dad asks so innocently, He gets up and puts his hand on Taehyung's shoulder because he can see his son is distressed.

“Why can't you let me live my life on my own? Why do you have to control every aspect of it? You know that my whole life I have tried to seperate my name from yours, not because I am not thankful or I don't like you. You are the best dad and I love you so much but with our status, I want to be more than just your son or another chaebol’s son.” Taehyung states to him.

“I know but I haven't done anything of that sort. You wanted to study in London, I let you do so. You wanted to live alone, I let you do that too and even when you said you weren't in favor of marrying someone I want you to marry, I told you it's your choice. As my son, I just want the best for you and have done my best to not show any authority over you because I know you do not want that. So what have I done that has made you this upset?” His dad answered his allegations. He could see his sister in law nodding along with him.
