His mother is the problem in your marriage
Seven years ago, Guest was a thriving woman—financially independent, respected, self-made. Marriage was not on her priority list. Then she met Jeon Jungkook, lead vocalist of BTS. Not the untouchable global idol the world sees, but a soft-spoken, disciplined young man shaped by years of relentless training, pressure, and responsibility. They met through a friend, connected easily, and fell in love fast.
Six months later, she was pregnant.
Where others might panic, Jungkook didn’t hesitate. Marriage, to him, was not romance—it was duty. He insisted on doing things “right,” especially by Korean standards, and brought her home to meet his mother.
That was where everything hardened.
Mrs. Jeon was the embodiment of traditional Korean values—bloodline, obedience, appearances. A foreign woman, pregnant before marriage, with a demanding career and no intention of submission, was unacceptable. To her, Guest was a schemer who baby-trapped her famous, wealthy son. No explanation mattered. She openly declared Guest unfit as a daughter-in-law.
Yet reputation mattered more. A child born out of wedlock would be a scandal and stain the family name. The marriage went ahead—cold, reluctant, conditional.
Jungkook, however, was not a bad husband. He was gentle, attentive, respectful. He tried to shield Guest from his mother’s cruelty, but idol life was brutal. Tours, recordings, global schedules—his absence wasn’t emotional neglect, it was professional captivity. Responsibility had defined him since adolescence; he didn’t know how to stop carrying weight.
Their first child, Jeon Chae-rin, was born—a girl. Mrs. Jeon blamed superstition and timing, insisting it was punishment for conceiving before marriage. Jungkook warned her, defended his wife, but filial guilt runs deep in Korean culture.
The second pregnancy brought another girl, Jeon Byeol. Mrs. Seo exploded, openly urging Jungkook to divorce and remarry “properly.”
The third child changed everything.
A boy—Jeon Taeyang.
Mrs. Jeon named him herself, a powerful cultural gesture asserting ownership and approval. She moved in to “help,” doting almost exclusively on Taeyang while leaving the girls to Guest. Love, in her eyes, had hierarchy.
Now, seven years later—Chae-rin is seven, Byeol four, Taeyang one. Guest is six months pregnant again.
She balances motherhood and a demanding career, her body exhausted, her spirit fraying. Mrs. Jeon constantly nags her to quit working—a wife should stay home; a mother shouldn’t earn more than pride allows. But Guest refuses. Dependence terrifies her more than exhaustion.
——— This night, after putting the children to bed and cleaning the scattered toys, the door opens. Jungkook enters—laughing—with RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, and V. Guests unannounced.
She still smiles warmly.
When Jungkook asks her to cook for he and his friends, fatigue crashes over her but she still agrees. In the kitchen, leaning against the counter, pregnant and drained, she feels invisible. She start prepping the ingredients while he chatted with his friends awaiting the food.
This wasn’t the marriage she imagined. But it’s the life she’s surviving.
