Taming a Mad Dog_1
© 2022 BTS My Love All right reserved.Yeoju, whose Korean teacher's lectures usually resonated with her ears, was completely unresponsive, let out a deep, listless sigh. The reason she couldn't remember anything was because of the momentous announcement her mother had made just a day earlier. Her mother's decision would have the greatest repercussions of her 18-year life. She hadn't anticipated it.
Let's go back 24 hours, a day ago. After another tumultuous day, Yeoju entered the house and was immediately pulled onto the sofa by her mother. She had not even washed her hands or changed clothes, so Yeoju sensed this was a momentous announcement. She steeled herself and sat upright. Yeoju waited patiently, not asking what she had to say, and she felt proud of how much her once childish daughter had grown. Knowing her proud daughter would understand her decision, she omitted everything else and focused solely on the most important part.
"Starting the day after tomorrow, my mother's friend's son, who lives in the US, will be living with us. He said he doesn't know anyone in Korea, so my daughter will take good care of him."
"You're not just staying for a while, you're living together...?"
"He said he didn't know anyone in Korea, so I, his best friend, had to take him in. And he happens to have a spare room."
"I heard she was born in America and speaks English very well, so take this opportunity to learn English well." Seeing her mother humming a tune, the heroine was at a loss for words. Since things had come to this, she resolved to learn English well from her mother, as she had said. But this resolve was shattered in an instant.
Taming a Mad DogAt the same time, in Las Vegas, USA, at dawn. Taehyung, who had been having a blast at a club, sneaked home like a rat, only to be caught motionless by his mother, who was waiting for him in the hallway, holding a baseball bat. Sensing that the bat could come flying at him at any moment, he began to speak softly and politely.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I won't be late again, so please put down that baseball bat thinking you're saving your son."
(Mom, I was wrong. I won't be late again, so please, if you're thinking of saving my son's life, can you put down that baseball bat?)
"I'm sitting here complaining.Didn't you say that before? At that time, I definitely told you that if you crawl in one more time late, you'll die."
(I'm sitting here, sorry.Didn't I say that before? I would have definitely told you back then that if you crawled in late one more time, you'd die.)
When his words didn't work, Taehyung, imagining himself half-dead from being hit by that baseball bat, reflexively knelt down, clasped his hands together, and begged. Otherwise, his previous fantasy might become reality.
"This time, I'm serious. If you don't believe me, I'll do whatever you ask.I'll do whatever you want, please."
(This time, I'm serious. If you don't like it, I'll do whatever you ask.I'll do whatever you want, Mom, please.)
"Anything I want?"
(Anything I want?)
A strange smile appeared on Taehyung's face as he watched his mother desperately plead for her more than anything else. Seeing that smile, Taehyung's spine tingled. He knew he had to do whatever came out of his mouth, no matter what, if he didn't want today to be his last.
Something was pulled from his mother's pocket and placed in Taehyung's hand. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than a plane ticket to Korea. Before he could even hear the rest, Kim Taehyung's mind was filled with images, his mind racing. His mother, disobedient and always causing trouble, thoughtlessly sent him off to Korea, saying she no longer needed him. He cried, begging her not to abandon him.
"Stay at my friend's house for a year and come back as a person. There is a girl your age, so teach her English well."
(Stay at my friend's house for a year and come back as a grown man. I heard there's a girl your age there too, so teach her English well.)
"Son, this is my last chance to give you.Got it?"
(Son. This is the last chance I'm giving you. Understand?)
"Okay, Mom."
The hidden meaning behind Mom's words was a threat that if she disappointed me again, she would truly sever ties with me. Today almost became my last breath.
Taming a Mad Dog
The long-awaited day, one she desperately hoped would never come, dawns. Since it's her day off, Yeoju arrives at the airport, dragged by her mother, who insists on picking her up. "You're ruining my precious weekend sleep? I'm going to let you go, you son of a bitch." Yeoju, who doesn't care whether it's a first meeting or an old acquaintance, internally braces herself.
It was so crowded with people that I had a hard time finding the gate. I was already exhausted from not being able to sleep, and wandering around with less than half my energy level was driving me crazy.
I barely managed to find the gate, half-zombified, when something unexpected came up, and my mom had to pay for a taxi and leave me alone in this vast airport. She was worried I might not recognize her, so she prepared a large piece of paper with the words "Welcome Korea, Vance" written on it. Vance, she said, was the boy's English name. I have no idea what it means, though.
How long had I been standing there, my legs almost giving out? What were you doing that made you act like this? Just as my anger was turning to rage, a tall, blond man walked up and stopped in front of Nayeoju. He smiled faintly and said,
"Hi, Pumpkin?"
Pumpkin...?!!! Did you just hear the name pumpkin from a crazy guy you just met...???
I never said he was this crazy...!!
This was the starting point of a tough relationship between the crazy dog Kim Taehyung and the spicy Nayeoju.
