"Who are you to decide what I need?"
Dong froze, his gaze solely fixed on Ha Joon before he looked at Rachael, who seemed like she was already panicking.
"Joony!" she called out to him, but Ha Joon paid no attention.
Not only was his head pounding seriously, something about the whole family dinner didn't sit right with him.
"You are probably tired, you'll come back to your senses tomorrow," Dong spoke, focusing back on his food. "I'll let the commander know you'll be joining—"
"I don't want to do that either."
They all paused again.
"Why are you always trying to take control of my life like I can't make decisions for myself?" Ha Joon was not looking at his father. "I don't remember much of what happened, but I'd like to think you all changed for the better, and that's why I stayed."
"You stayed because you understood the way the world works. You could not survive without us," Dong retorted.
