Jungkook was recapping how he planned to please Taehyung's father when he saw his target storming toward him with a broom.

From Hyoseop's murderous look, Jungkook gathered that he was not coming over to sweep the floor.

Jungkook's heart skipped a beat and he rose carefully.

Hyoseop raised the broom towards Jungkook. "I'll kill you, you bastard! I knew you weren't a good person!"

Jungkook was utterly confused but he did not dare to oppose. As the space between the sofa and the coffee table was small, he was unable to dodge and two hits landed on him.

Things happened too suddenly. Taehyung was stunned for a moment before jumping over to stop his father. "Dad, what are you doing? What's up with you? Mom! Mom!!"

His resounding shout carried past the kitchen door and the hum of the kitchen exhaust hood to enter Sejeong's ears.

Shocked, Sejeong raced out with the wok spatula still in her hand. She took one look at the chaos in front of her and immediately stepped forward to intervene. "What's going on? Let go!"

"Don't stop me. I'll make this brat pay the price today!"

Sejeong threw her arms around Hyoseop who had lost his mind and turned her head to signal Taehyung with her eyes. "Leave, quickly!"

Taehyung grabbed Jungkook and ran without delay.

Holding on to each other's hands, they did not have time to change their shoes. The slippers they wore slapped against the ground as they escaped outside frantically. They dashed out of the residential area in one stretch before running down another two streets.

That day, someone started a thread on the forum.

Everyone in the thread mocked the thread starter for being crazy and not coming up with a more believable story

......

Taehyung and Jungkook finally dodged into a small alley. Then, Taehyung went to the pharmacy at the intersection to buy some medicine, Band-Aids, and masks. On his way back, he passed by a minimart and went in to buy a stick of ice cream.

Taehyung needed something sweet to comfort himself.

Back at the alley, Taehyung held Jungkook's face and scrutinized it. He was fine except for some broken skin on his cheeks. Taehyung's heart ached and he mumbled to himself, "If this causes disfiguration, where am I going to find someone else that's so good-looking?"

Jungkook burst into laughter and peered down at Taehyung, his eyes tranquil and gentle like the moonlight.

Taehyung asked him, "Does it hurt?"

Jungkook shook his head.

Taehyung continued, "I don't know what's wrong with my dad. The way he looked at you seemed like you killed his father... Oh wait, my grandpa is still alive, so how could you have killed him... Jungkook, did you glare at him?"
