Seducing an iron man

24

김태형

Also, Jeon Jungkook... did you come after hearing my grades...?

Whenever Kim Taehyung stood before his parents, he felt infinitely smaller. His height seemed small, and his broad shoulders seemed infinitely narrower. It was like being a trembling kitten placed before a tiger.

어머니

So, what should I do? The teacher asked me to come see him for a bit, so I went to see him, and I saw Jungkook and his father.

김태형

ah...

Taehyung just sighed as if he knew Jeongguk's father.

Jungkook's father and Taehyung's mother knew each other. They'd been preparing a business together for three years, but when Jungkook's father suggested they quit, Taehyung's mother simply agreed. While they weren't close, there was a strange sense of rivalry between them.

어머니

They say Jungkook got perfect scores this time.

I could only keep my mouth shut and clench my fists. There was no point in coming forward now, and more than that, I was already used to this situation.

Ultimately, all I can say in this situation is,

김태형

I'm sorry, I think I wasn't feeling very well this time...

I'm sorry. I had no choice but to talk.

어머니

Tch, conditioning is something you should basically take care of, but you can't even take care of that?

Sharp words flew at me. It was as if the target was Taehyung and the arrows were my mother. The arrows, flying in one direction, hit precisely where I hurt, the thing that hurt the most. When they hit, I felt a pain equivalent to ten points.

어머니

Kim Taehyung, wake up, I didn't raise you like this.

어머니

Last time, Jungkook was behind, and the time before that, he was behind too. Huh? Come to your senses.

With each thrust of her fingers, she pressed hard against Taehyung's forehead, her strength growing stronger. With each thrust, her pride, her self-esteem, all her emotions seemed to plummet. Especially on the positive side.

어머니

I think I did better when I was younger than I do now.

I can't say anything. In fact, everything you see below is true, so there's nothing wrong with it. I clearly fell behind Jeon Jungkook, and at some point, Jeon Jungkook started to gain the upper hand over me.

It may not seem like it on the surface, but I hate to admit it, but it's true that he was a level above me in terms of studying.

On the surface, Taehyung, who looks like a model student, seems to do better, but Jeon Jungkook, who seems like a playful kid, actually did better in his studies.

So I was angry. I was angry, so I worked hard again, and I did it again, and I got a similar result to last month, but I was lower than Jeon Jungkook.

어머니

Okay. Just worry about the test next month.

어머니

At that time, you should think that you have to do better than Jeongguk.

어머니

I'll be back soon.

"Ddang," said his mother, leaving the café. The seat was cold. A person would have at least lingered in warmth, but instead, it was cold. Taehyung released every ounce of strength he had been holding onto. His hands were covered in sweat, perhaps from the tension. Beads of sweat clung to his clammy hands.

김태형

ah...

The words he'd heard from his mother earlier lingered in his ears. The mention of her return made Taehyung incredibly nervous. His heart felt like it was beating faster for no reason.

As I take a sip of the remaining coffee, the ice cubes inside begin to shake, one by one, unable to keep their place.

It was the perfect time to go to school. Taehyung stood in front of the school building and idly adjusted his bag. He felt like he had to do it, and he felt like things would go well that way.

김태형

Okay, let's go in.

The moment the black canvas stepped out, two familiar figures came into view from afar.

전정국

Thank you, sis. Let's go to a cafe together next time.

백여아

I'll think about it.

Jungkook laughed, perhaps amused by the girl's sharp reply. He patted her head, said goodbye, and headed straight for the academy building.

The girl also moved her feet, as if she was about to leave. As she did, Kim Taehyung suddenly appeared before her eyes, blocking her view.

백여아

What the heck, Kim Taehyung...

김태형

What are you, why are you with him?

In front of the academy, the traffic light had already turned green.

It hasn't been revealed yet where Jungkook and Taehyung first met😉
