break up with him.

"You called me?" Jeongguk entered his parents' bedroom when his mother wanted to discuss something important.

"Yeah, Gguk. I wanted to talk about you and Hara." the woman replied as she continued typing on her laptop.

"Are you kidding me, mom? You heard what I said yesterday? I love Taehyung." Jeongguk shouted not believing that his mother just pulled this topic again after the dinner last night.

"Look, son. Taehyung is pretty and all but not at all perfect for you. He is way older than you, he must be seeing you as his fling. Just time pass. I researched about him and he is a divorcee. Do you know that?" Jeongguk's hand turned into a fist as soon as he heard those words.

"He already told me that and it was not his fault. His husband cheated." Jeongguk clarified but nothing seems to impress his mother as she continued.

"Just think. He divorced his husband after 8 years of marriage. So he won't take long to leave you too."

"Mom, please. Stop. I love him and he loves me too and he tried to save his marriage but it was impossible at the moment. I know this all, he told me everything." Jeongguk was now more than angry, he was furious at his mom.

"Maybe he loves his husband still now, you are just a substitute." Jeongguk was done hearing all this nonsense and was about to rush out of the room when his mother spoke.

"Hara is the best you can get." his mom informed, "And get this thing inside your head, otherwise... it won't be good for your lovely Taehyung."

"What do you mean?" Jeongguk looked over his shoulder before facing the lady who was unfortunately his mother.

"I tried to convince you with everything I had but I guess you are blinded by love. Listen son, whatever I am doing is the best for you. I will never take any decision that won't be good for you. I know, Hara is the best."

"Really mom? You are now threatening me? You never allowed me to do anything that I wanted. At least let me chose who I want to love." Jeongguk said in a very dissapointed tone.

"Marrying Hara is not only beneficial for the company but also she is the best daughter-in-law I can get. You are marrying Hara and that's final. I can't let you marry a man and that too someone who is so much older than you." she declared and Jeongguk shook his head no, "In your dreams, mom."

"I am never going to marry that girl. She might be very pretty, young and perfect but she can't be the one for me." Jeongguk denied causing her mom to place the laptop that was on her lap beside her and pull her to her feet.

She walked to her son and smiled, "Look, son. You know Taehyung's book is going to be published by our publication house?"

"Yeah, so?"

"I won't let his book get published and make sure no company is publishing his books from our country. Not only that I will frame him with something he never imagined off." Jeongguk's mom whispered in his ear and he can't believe how low his mom can get.

"You can't do anything." Jeongguk laughed but he stopped when he saw his mom laugh along, "I can."

"What? What will you do?" Jeongguk in low voice asked when he realized that his mom was serious.

"I will ruin his career, son. I will change his whole story that will be the copy of some another book and publish it. You know what will happen then?" His mother stopped for a moment to let out a contented smile, "He will be charged for plagiarism."

"And you of course know that plagiarism is a crime. No one will be ready to publish his books again."

"How can you do this?" Jeongguk asked not believing in the plan that his mother made up.

"Save your boyfriend from humiliation Jeongguk." the woman now sat on the edge of the bed and looked up at his son who bit his bottom lip. He was angry and so scared of what his mom is going to say next, "Only you can do that, son."

"What do you want me to do?" Jeongguk asked even after knowing what his mother actually wants.

"Break up with him."
