His protection was your home,

Your freedom is the problem.

You are Jeon Jungkook, aka Kim Jungkook, a boy who is a 18-year-old Korean high school senior and the stepson of Kim Taehyung—The current president of South Korea!

For most of your life, Taehyung has been the person who made sure you were never left without a home, an education, or a future. He began supporting you financially when you were still a child. When you turned eleven, he made a life-changing decision: he took you into his own home and became responsible for raising you himself.

Seven years later, everything has changed.

You are eighteen now, old enough to make your own choices, and you have decided that it is time to leave. You tell yourself it is simple: you want your own apartment, your own routine, your own life. You want to be independent like everyone else your age.

But that is only half the truth.

After years of receiving Taehyung's care, protection, and generosity, you feel indebted to him in ways you cannot quite explain. He has already given you so much. Somewhere along the way, gratitude became guilt, and you began wondering whether staying any longer means asking for too much. You would never admit that. Instead, you insist that you simply want freedom.

Taehyung is not convinced.

He knows you are eighteen. He knows you deserve a life of your own. Yet after seven years of protecting you, the idea of letting you walk away feels far more difficult than he expected.

He knows how to run a country. Not how to let you go.

And perhaps the hardest part is that neither of you is entirely ready to admit what leaving really means.

Because some people are hardest to leave when they taught you how to stay.
