He slipped the strap of his bag down his shoulder, letting it dropped onto the marble floor without a care and walked heavily to the dining room where the maid have informed him the unpleasant request his parents asked to be accompanied by their son at dinner.

His eyes instinctively rolled at the sight of his parents vacant smiled when they heard his draggy steps. He pulled out the chair and sat across his mother and beside his father. Just on cue, the maid brought out his delicious dinner and served it to him the moment his butt landed on the leather chair.

As the utensils clanked against the plate, the boy found himself pushing his food as he daydreamed. The woman across him noticed his behavior and was rather unpleased with it.

"Sit straight and eat properly, Hoseok"

Her soft yet irritation laced voiced ached his ears and he sluggishly obeyed her, not wanting to hear her snake-like voice.

"What's bothering you, son?"

His father spoke in a rather deep yet laced with worry voice that slightly soothed the boy. Hoseok let out a sigh and glanced up only to glare at the woman in front of him who was oblivious to her son's burning gaze.

"Nothing father. Don't worry, I'm just tired"

Before the man could comfort his stressed out son the woman beside spoke up and it did nothing but poisoning the already tensed air.

"What are you tired of? Dancing? That's nothing. You should've chose the school of business and actually contribute to the family instead of smile and wave at the investors"

Upon hearing her toxic remark, Hoseok dropped his utensils and abruptly stood with clenched fists that were ready to land on the woman who he abhor but ironically was his mother as well.

His father grabbed his wrist and lightly shook his head at his furious son. He gently tugged his son to go to his room and Hoseok gladly left the poisoned dining room before a slam of a door echoed throughout the mansion.

An exasperated sigh left the man's mouth as the heels of his palm pressed against his closed eyes before looking up only to see his wife continued eating peacefully which only fueled his anger but being a well-controlled tempered person, he sighed again and fixed his slumped posture to face her.

"Why would you say that?"

"Say what? The truth?"

"Serene don't-"

"Don't tell me what to do or what to say because I'm clearly just turn that son of yours into something useful instead of dancing in the streets like a beggar"

"Serene! How dare you!-"

"Like father like son"

She flipped her handkerchief and shut the boiling man before exiting the room with her head held high. Her hips swayed as she walked up the marble stairs, leaving the gritted teeth man with his rage.

Soon, his eyes turned soft and glistered under the shining chandelier above him. No tear escaped his eyes but his lips were quivering.

"Only if you love your sons, Serene"

It was the last text he sent before she went for her last class for the day which was minutes before it ends. She fiddled nervously and kept shifting in her seat as the desire for her boyfriend grew within her. She glanced down at his last text to distract her from the boring class.
