Chapter 88

Taehyung did not let his family know about Jungkook and him as he was afraid that his father would receive a terrible shock. After experiencing the warmth of Jungkook's parents, he felt somewhat guilty.

Looks like it's time to give Jungkook an official status...

Of course, he still did not inform his father directly. What he did was call his mother first.

When Sejeong heard that Taehyung was together with Jungkook, she was not very surprised. Instead, she was a little reproachful. She commented, "Why not tell me only after the two of you get married?"

"Mom, that's because I'm afraid..."

"Oh, so there's something that you're afraid of in this world?" Sejeong was tickled. She continued, "You met his parents after being together for how long? Are they rushing to get a son-in-law? Why so enthusiastic? You need to pay more care to this. I'm telling you, I've seen plenty of cases like this."

Taehyung was startled. "What sort of cases?"

"Cases where one party has a genetic disorder and purposely hides it. They'll appear exceptionally warm to the person that they're cheating and be extremely enthusiastic."

"..." Taehyung felt that his mother was indeed worthy of her profession as a doctor. What a unique train of thoughts. He nodded and said, "All right, I'll pay more care. To be fair, it's not exactly an official parents' meeting. His parents merely came over to find us for some fun and to have a meal together. The mood was light and I feel that I can click quite well with both his dad and mom."

"You click well with anyone."

......

On the issue of Taehyung's boyfriend, Sejeong told it to not only her husband but also the four heavenly guardians at home.

Hyoseop was not happy. On the other hand, the four heavenly guardians were excited and brimming with enthusiasm to see what Taehyung's boyfriend looked like.

"Jungkook—why does this name sound so familiar?" Taehyung's maternal grandmother mused.

"It's that child," Grandma Kim replied. "The one that Taetae thanked first when he got the gold medal."

"Ah! Him?"

Blah blah blah...

Hyoseop's face darkened another shade.

Sejeong thought of the gift that Jungkook's parents gave Taehyung. She whispered to Hyoseop, "Shouldn't we express something as well?"

"Express what? Do you expect me to provide him with feed after he dug up my house's cabbage? Dream on, I'm not giving him a single thing! You're not allowed to give either!"

"To be honest, I also think that we should wait until their relationship stabilizes. However, Taehyung has accepted a Cartier from them. It's not cheap and inappropriate for us to ignore that."

"That's easy. Have him return it."

"Oh, so this is appropriate?"

"How is it not appropriate?"

"Did you sleep your way up to the position of principal?"

"..."

......

In the end, Sejeong transferred her son a sum of money and had him buy some gifts in return.

Time flew and soon it was May.

Halfway through May, an event that was of little importance to ordinary people but shook the entire ice sports world happened.

Through a series of votes, the International Ice Hockey Federation decided that Korea's national ice hockey teams could qualify directly for the 2022 Winter Olympics. This meant that both the men's and women's ice hockey team was guaranteed a spot without participating in the qualifying tournaments.
