"How can you defend him?" Taehyun's father spat, his face red with anger. "He's a criminal, Taehyun! He's going to bring you down!"

Taehyun's jaw clenched. "You don't understand," he growled. "Soobin and I... we love each other. And nothing you say or do can change that."

His father sneered. "Love? You call that love? That's just infatuation, Taehyun! You're blinded by your feelings!"

Taehyun took a step forward, his eyes flashing. "I'm not blinded," he said, his voice low and deadly. "I see Soobin for who he is. And I love him for it."

His father's face turned purple with rage. "Are you crazy, Kang Taehyun?" he shouted. "You're going to trust a criminal?"

Taehyun nodded, his eyes never leaving his father's face. "Yes, I am crazy," he said, his voice steady. "I'm crazy about him. And our love... it's not rational. It's physical. It's real."

The room fell silent, the only sound the quiet sobbing of Taehyun's mother.

Taehyun's gaze softened as he looked at her. "Sorry, Mom," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I know this isn't what you wanted for me. But I'm in love with Soobin. And I won't apologize for that."
