Taehyung's P.O.V
"I'm so proud of you my son" my mom said as she stroked my cheeks.
Her eyes were filled with such happiness as she looked at me.
We just got back home from my highschool graduation ceremony.
Throughout high school my mom has always wanted me to become a prosecutor.
Most parents in Korea want their child to either be a prosecutor, a doctor, or a CEO of a company.
But I didn't want to be any of those
I spent my entire high school life studying to become a prosecutor only to make my mom happy.
But it wasn't what I wanted to do with my life after high school.
And I wanted to tell my mom this.
My mom was in the kitchen preparing to make Japchae which is my favorite dish as a celebration for my graduation.
"Mom" I whispered low enough that she could hear me.
"Mhm" she answered as her eyes were still fixed on the ingredients that she was preparing.
"I don't want to be prosecutor"
She stopped what she was doing and immediately looked at me.
"What are you saying? Taehyung I thought we agreed that you'd become a prosecutor"
"Exactly 'we' agreed but I don't want to be a prosecutor it's not what I want to do"
"Then what are you going to do? What other job will pay you as well as being a prosecutor will?"
"Why does it always have to be about the money?"
"Because how are you supposed to get through life without money?"
"Through other things"
"Like what?"
"I don't know other jobs that aren't being a prosecutor"
"Then what about college mhm? Are you not going to go to college?"
I didn't answer.
"Hey Taehyung" she yelled
"I don't know"
"You don't know? Are you not going to continue your education?"
"I don't want to be a prosecutor so I don't know if I'll go to college"
"Hey" she said hitting my arm
"Mom"
"Get out. Get out" she yelled as she pushed me towards the door.
"Why?"
"You can't live here unless you're going to get an education and a good job"
"Mom how are you going to do this to your own son"
"Do you know what I had to go through to raise you alone and this is how you're going to repay me? How are you going to take care of yourself alone without an education or a stable job?"
"I can just find a way"
"Oh really? Then find a way somewhere else"
"You're kicking me out?"
"Yes so you can find your way on your own"
She pushed me outside and closed the door locking it.
