Love & Hate

05

JUNGKOOK'S POV

Junghyun smirked at me fully knowing that he'll pass his subjects, he's smart, naturally smart it's just that he can't stop himself from getting into troubles,

I never heard what's the reason behind it, aside from he never told me every time I ask him— it's just that no one goes to his school in our family every time his school asks for any of us to attend.

I am always busy, as much as I want to go to his school to fix that matter but I can't. To think that mom and dad could attend his school but they chose not to,

Family's image is more important to them, that's why I pity Junghyun.

"deal, now lend me some money" He happily said and sorry to disappoint you my little brother but— I shake my head,

"what's going on here?" We both looked at the person who just butted in.

"aren't you too strict with your brother?" He laughed and took the seat beside Junghyun on the couch.

"He deserves it," I said to Taehyung and Junghyun sighed,

Taehyung placed his hand on his shoulder tapping it,

"have you already passed all your subjects? not yet right? so no money, no reward. Pass all your subjects first" I said, and heard Junghyun heavily sighed

I seriously don't know what's running to his mind, ever since I got this position I had no time to hang out with my brother. We used to play a lot before from video games to basketball and boxing, like how brothers spend their time

"I need it, I don't have any money," He said showing his empty wallets and pockets,

"how much money do you need?" Taehyung asked and grabbed his wallet from his pocket.

"₩250,000," Junghyun said.

"what?" Taehyung looked at me and I just sighed,

We don't know why he spends so much money these days, I mean it been a month since it started,

"Okay, pay me when you get your card back," Taehyung said and handed him the cash.

Junghyun immediately stood up and walked out. I stood up and walked to the window to check him rush outside the building

Our car is parked outside, obviously waiting for that punk.

"Isn't he already late for school?" I asked Taehyung while looking down watching him get inside the car

"he is. And I know for sure we're also late for the meeting" He said, and I just realized it and saw on my wristwatch that we're late.

"Yeah you're right, let's go," I said and we walked out of my office.

"Seokjin hyung is inviting us tomorrow" He mentioned and I frowned,

What's the occasion?

"for what?" I asked,

"Well he just opened another branch of his restaurant near here," He said, "oh"

"What time?"

"You have a phone check it on our group chat!" Taehyung scolded me,

They knew how stubborn I am, I rarely reply to their messages unless they ring my phone,

Well sorry, I muted our group because you guys are too wild and loud. Loud? As if I hear them—

They hated me for the fact that I always left them in read.

"Seokjin hyung is great, he's the CEO of their company plus he owned a restaurant with 8 branches?" I asked and gave Taehyung an unsure look

"I think you should now at least learn how to count and you're being too forgetful, it's already 11 branches tomorrow," Taehyung said and tapped my back.

"really?" Geez, I'm missing out.

"Yeah, idiot," He said and we entered the meeting room

ROSEANNE'S POV

"Miss Anne, Mr. Park wants to see you" I heard our house helper from outside waking me up.

"what again?" I groaned as I sat on my bed rubbing my eyes and ruffled my messy hair,

I stood up and walked to my door opened it, showing our newly hired house helper.

"where is he?" I snarled and she looked taken aback,

"In his office, Miss Anne," She said and she automatically stepped to the side.

I didn't bother myself to knock on his damn door, I just casually walked inside and saw my Dad sitting on his swivel chair.

"I heard that you went to the bar last night" He spoke, he's mad for sure, anyone could tell by the sound of how he spoke,

"and?" I muttered that made him look at me, more like glaring at me.

"Roseanne Park!" He yelled, fuming mad as his face turned red and so are his ears,

"Can you please stop treating me like a child?!" I snapped back and the moment he stood up he threw the large heavy book from his table to the floor, right in front of me thinking I would flinch

"Yes, you're not a kid but you're a woman, a grownup— for pete's sake Roseanne!"

And what does he meant by that? I am not capable of protecting myself from harm?

"look, dad, before you asked me to go back here in Seoul, I've gone to different bars when I was in LA, stop acting like you guys care for me."

"It's sickening me with how bad you act, you and mom never knew and never was a parent to me!"

I said and walked out and went straight inside my room, grabbed my towel, and stepped in the bathtub

They're toxic, that's why I hate this house. I never called this home because this house doesn't deserve to be called 'home', besides the people inside this damn house are not humans and they don't deserve to be called a family.

I dialed Lisa's number and after 4 rings she finally answered.

[what?]

"Are you free tonight?"

[Dude u serious? Don't you--]

"oh shit yeah I know, I forgot that you're grounded. Sorry 'bout that"

[that's fine Rosie,]

"yeah alright, I guess," I said and hang up.

I massaged my temples and leaned my back to the cold bathtub.

Alone again for later.

As if it's new,

I can't even call Jennie and Jisoo, I know they're mad.
