Just Blame Me

59

Before the New Year arrived, Jungkook took a secret trip back to C City, for the single purpose of retrieving his family registration booklet.

He hadn't notified his parents about it, intending on acting first and reporting later.

Who'd have thought that the ginger had been spicy from the start?

When he got home, his father was already waiting for him in the living room.

Jungkook was a bit surprised, but he kept a cool and nonchalant expression on his face. "Dad, you didn't go to work today?"

Mr Jeon glanced at him and scoffed. "Aren't you taking the day off as well?"

"I'm making a visit to you see you guys."

"To see us? From the looks of it, you came back for this." Mr Jeon lifted his right hand, which just happened to be holding the family register book that Jungkook was looking for.

Jungkook bit his lip. He walked over and took a seat on the sofa across from his father. "What are your conditions? Just tell me."

Mr Jeon chuckled. "Is CEO Jeon making a business deal with me?"

Jungkook looked at his father silently. Then he asked, "How did you know I was coming back?"

"Who do you think raised you? Once you stick your ass out, I know what kind of shit you're going to take."

Jungkook, "...Dad, your words are getting coarser."

"Right. Not everyone can be as whimsical as you, flying to New York for lobster whenever you fancy it."

Jungkook, "...."
Had his father hired someone to monitor Lisa's Weibo activities?

"In any case, I'm dead set on this wedding." Jungkook leaned against the ack of the sofa with a demeanor that said 'Do whatever you want to.'

Mr Jeon frowned. "I just don't understand what you like about her."

"Everything," Jungkook replied directly.

The living room grew silent. Two sets of eyes collided in a silent confrontation. After a long moment, Mr Jeon sighed. "Fine. Your mother was right. Among you three, your eldest brother's the only one who listens. I don't know why we bothered having two more kids."

Jungkook responded, "If not for Second Brother and me taking on two thirds of Mom's energy, Eldest Brother would have been broken from all of Mom's activities."

Mr Jeon, "...."
That did seem to make sense.

He coughed, and then said, "Since you're bent on marrying Lisa , you should make sure she's clear about certain things. Now that she'll be joining our family, she should be more cautious about her behavior. Make sure she doesn't get caught up in those tabloid reports, like the ones with that Kim Mingyu."

"You don't have to worry about that," he said with a slight smile. He looked at his father and said, "But on that topic, you seem to be rather concerned with the entertainment industry."

"Hmph. Seeing you in the entertainment headlines every day is really a disgrace for me."

"I'll work hard to make the finance headlines in the future. Can you give me the family registration then?"
