Chapter 23

"You're not any better than them, mother. I was expecting more from you." With that he left her at the front of the door as she watched him leave the restaurant. At this moment she knew she might have lost her son for a stupid business contract that held their enterprise by a thread

She went back in the room before leaving a big sigh and sat herself back to her seat

"Where is he?" Asked Mr Jeon

"He left and I am utterly sorry for my son's attitude tonight, he is going through a lot of stress with his career and everything" Mrs Jeon apologizes, deep down she knew they were the one causing the stress

2 days after that night

"I've asked Isabelle to make appointments to the tailor to get your suit for the wedding" Mr Jeon says at the dinner table with his wife and son

"There will be no wedding" Jeongguk replies, pushing his plate away from him after taking a bit out of his meal, suddenly losing his appetite

"Excuse me? His father looks up, his eyes narrowing towards his son seated at the end of the table

"I'm going back to Seoul tomorrow morning. I am old enough to know what i want and need and right now, all i want is to get far from both of you" the young man gets up from his seat, as his mother places her hand on his, stopping his actions. He shoved her hand off and begin walking back to his room until his father spoke once again

"You're not doing such thing. You will stay, get married to this girl and save the company-"

"All that just for me to break 2 hearts. Mine and hers" his back still facing his parents, he runs his fingers through his hair before sighing loudly

"I've always been the son you wanted me to be, grew up how you both wanted me to, pursued my dreams, got good grades at school, made money and you know I will never refuse anything you ask, but for once, can't you let me be selfish?" He turns around and looks at his father

This isn't about you anymore father, Yumi practically grew up in this household, with us and just because her life is held onto a string, you would not even think twice before cutting it with scissors?"

"This is for our family Jeongguk" his father fires back, softly slamming his hands on the table, trying to keep his calm

"No father, this is all for you and your stupid desire to get revenge and I hereby no longer part of your plan that requires me to sacrifice my future for your selfishness" with that he leaves the scene ignoring the calls from his mother

"Honey.." Mrs Jeon started the conversation after the silence filled the air

"Please don't say anything, I know we lost him fully this time" replied her husband who kept staring down at his plate, his thoughts going wild in his head. His father wasn't a horrible man, he was just too focused to put food on the table for his family than actually seeing what he was doing wasn't the right choice

"You're not completely at fault, i've inflicted majority of the pain as well" she holds his hand in hers, using her thumb she draw circle on the back of his hand

"I don't want to be selfish anymore, I want to put our son first"

Next morning

Glancing at his phone repeatedly, impatiently waiting for a message from you, he shoves all his clothes in a carry on bag before zipping it up and going downstairs where he found his parents seated on the family sofa. Without greeting them, he pretends they're not there and makes his way out to the station.

"Jeongguk!" His mother called holding the door before it closed on her, he stops mid way and doesn't say anything, his back facing her

"Uh be safe on your way home.." he nods before leaving without say once more

On the train he kept thinking about you, what you were doing, if you were okay, how would you react when he's back. You have not seen him for weeks and you lived in his mind rent free but was he on your mind or were you too focused on other matters?
