Boy Meets __________ || BOOK 3 || Jeon Jungkook

Jungkook

"You good for nothing!"

My mom yelled.

"You lazy ass kid."

My dad shouted at me.

I was only 10 years old.

When my parents started pulling me down for not being helpful.

Being the try-hard child I was....

I always stopped to look at available jobs that were posted on walls or wooden poles.

I tried.

I really did.

But no one would accept a 10 year old child to work for them.

They won't trust me.

They didn't know...

That...

The job means more than just money to me.

It's not like I could tell them.

"You are useless."

My dad continued to criticize me.

"Dad, I tried-"

"It doesn't matter."

He was right about that.

Trying is pointless if you don't actually get to your goal.

I saw people at my school reading and getting good grades.

"Do well in school and you will get good jobs."

My teacher said to the class.

This one boy who sat next to me in class was very smart.

He answered every question right and did all his homework.

Teacher said,

"Awesome job. You're going to be so successful in life."

I started to read and focus a lot on my school work.

Won't that be a right thing to do?

So I could get a job?

Be successful?

"You nerd."

My mom cackled at me.

"Don't tell me you turned into a boneless bookworm."

My dad laughed.
