The man lifted his bucket hat from his head, messing his hair. "Ugh man, what do I need to do more in this life for the sake of friendship."
"You are late Beom-Jun, what if someone came back now." Tae-Hoon was panicking.
"Dude, no one's home right now. If you keep blabbering then you might not be able to escape anymore." Beom-Jun mocked him. Tae-Hoon sighed and nodded his head as they exchanged their clothes and he was ready to run from there.
"But I am still mad about what you did." Tae-Hoon knitted his eyebrows at Beom-Jun's words.
"Dude, don't give me that look, I had my eyes on her before you but you just had the excuse of Ji-Hoon." Beom-Jun said rolling his eyes.
"If I was not in a hurry then I might have beaten you for leaving me alone there. Don't come out until I call you." Beom-Jun nodded while laughing and Tae-Hoon left the room setting the bucket cap on his head and hiding his eyes. Beom-Jun took the risk to be eaten up alive by his father just for the sake of his friend.
The guards did not suspect him a bit as both Beom-Jun and Tae-Hoon had the same height and physique and he was just hurriedly rushing out, lowering his head.
He was in the center of the hall when he bumped into someone's chest as he looked up and his eyes widened in shock.
...
Jung-Nan held Ji-Hoon's intermingled hands, both of them were sitting in the back seats. "You promised to accept her decision." she exhaled a deep breath and continued, "I am really sorry, your mom could not do anything for you." her heart was feeling that piercing pain of a vulnerable mother.
Ji-Hoon sighed and shook his head, "Why are you saying sorry. Now I feel embarrassed by the thought that I got rejected by my brother's wife to be." he just chuckled sarcastically. Jung-Nan just tightened her grip around his hand, placing her head on his shoulders.
"She will be fine with him, right?" Ji-Hoon hesitantly asked. He knew his brother too well, Tae-Hoon was not someone to settle for one girl. He still needed a strong impact to understand that what was actually happening around him as he was still taking the situation lightly.
"Hmmm, we will be there for her as a family." Jung-Nan said, assuring him.
"Family." he mumbled resting his head on his mother's.
…
Dong-Hoon came back to the house, frustrated over how Eun-Woo made fun of him. He was into the hall not looking at his surroundings and just going towards his room but someone bumped into him.
That person lifted his head and it was none other than Tae-Hoon, his own little brother dressed like an undercover agent escaping the house.
"Shim Tae-Hoon, what are you doing." Dong-Hoon shouted at which Tae-Hoon flinched a bit and got ready to run. Dong-Hoon was already pissed off and now his level of anger rose more, understanding that Tae-Hoon was trying to run away from this situation.
Before Tae-Hoon could run away, Dong-Hoon grabbed him by his waist from the back. "You are running from your responsibilities, you jerk." he again shouted, scolding the younger one.
"Please leave me, I don't want to be in this jail anymore and neither do I want to marry someone." he shouted struggling to get himself out of Dong-Hoon's grip. He could not free himself with the help of force so he stopped struggling and poked his index finger lateral to the abdomen of Dong-Hoon.
He ended up leaving the younger one and he ran from the hall to the big door but luck was not on his side as his mother and Ji-Hoon were back and were getting out of the car while Dong-Hoon ran behind him.
He still could have escaped easily but Dong-Hoon saw them outside and shouted, "Ji-Hoon, grab this brat. He is running away." Jung-Nan and Ji-Hoon got startled and Tae-Hoon cursed inside his brain. On one side, Ji-Hoon and his mother and Dong-Hoon on the other side, he had lost his last chance to escape this matter which he called jail.
...
"Do you have any sense of shame? how can you help him get out of here and run away from this marriage. Did you even think about what your parents would feel if they know what are you up to?" Jung-Nan was shouting at the top of her lungs in the living room while Beom-Jun was just biting his lips while awkwardly looking here and there, he had no sense of shame indeed.
"I request you, please, please don't roam around my son until he gets married and yes you are not invited. So, the marriage can take place in peace." Dong-Hoon was trying to calm her down, rubbing her right arm.
"Leave this house this instant." she pointed at the hallway.
After Beom-Jun left, it was now Tae-Hoon's turn. She went to him raising her hand in the air and Tae-Hoon did not even flinch, he was standing there like a statue with flared nostrils.
Jung-Nan gritted her teeth at his stubbornness and instead of him, she slapped herself, knowing that doing so will have a better impact on him rather than slapping him. "Mom." All three of them shouted in unison. Ji-Hoon and Dong-Hoon ran to her while Tae-Hoon felt as if someone pierced his heart with a sharp dagger.
"NO, I AM NOT A MOTHER. I FAILED AT PARENTING YOU. I DON'T DESERVE TO BE CALLED AS A MOTHER." she was shouting to point that her whole body was shaking, tears continuously trailing her cheeks one after another, if Dong-Hoon and Ji-Hoon were not holding her she might have fallen on the floor by now.
"Mom." Tae-Hoon mumbled as tears build up in his eyes as well.
