Seokjin's Aunt just arrived from another business trip and for the first time after almost a month of not going home, they're finally together for dinner.

The beauty missed his Aunt very much, she's very dear to him being the only family that he have.

That's the reason as to why Seokjin wants to do everything that will make her happy because she's the one who raised him, his only family.

"I heard that you're with sir Taehyung yesterday." His Aunt said.

Seokjin slowly nods his head and let out a small smile.

He took a sip on his apple juice that his servant especially made for him since it was his favorite.

Lee, his servant. And also his bestfriend who's always there to support and most especially guide him in what he wants to do, he's thankful to have someone like him.

"So far, Seokjin. Who do you like?" His Aunt asked, very curious.

The man gulps down as he stared at the lady across of him, his answer should be a name, one name.

Though, it's very hard for him to choose.

How can he? Even with the time that he spent with both Jungkook and Taehyung is not enough as he will spend the rest of his life with the person he's going to pick.

"Can you give me a little time, please?" Seokjin asked in his little voice.

He barely say anything to his Aunt.

It's because he grew up thinking that everything that she says was right, the reason as to why in every order that she makes, all he could was nod, smile or whisper a simple yes.

After the both of them ate, his Aunt immediately excused herself saying that she have to make some calls particulary to the Jeon's and the Kim's.

Seokjin let out a deep sigh, he wanted to have some alone time with his Aunt and maybe get some idea about this whole set up to further understand why he needs to do something like this.

Instead of waiting for his Aunt to finish, he went inside his room with Lee following behind him.

He took in a deep breathe before sitting in the middle of his king size bed. He bit his lower lips tilting his head as he looked straight into the servant's eyes.

"Your Aunt likes the Kim's more than the Jeon's, Seokjin."

Seokjin furrowed his brows not understanding what his servant is trying to say.

"Your Aunt is indebted to the Kim's. They're the one who owned this land, Seokjin," the servant looked around, "They named it after your Aunt after they saw you." He said.

The beauty cant help but to squint his eyes trying to understand everything.

So what? He's like a token of appreciation to everything that- that family gave to his Aunt. He's just like a damn payment for this house.

"That's why the Kim's are the only one that has a direct contact with you." Lee said.

"Now, the Jeon's are trying to convince your Aunt to just give up this house and moved into a new one."

Seokjin raised his brows scrunching up his nose with all the information that his servant is saying.

"You doesnt have to mind all of that, Jin. Choose who you want to be with. You'll end up just fine." He said, winking.

Seokjin stared blankly at the wall, blinking for multiple times.

He's not yet married, he's not yet tied to anyone but he already feels caged. He is so damn thirsty for the freedom that he knows he doesnt have any chance with.

Seokjin knows it, he is born to be like this. He is programmed to be flawless and look beautiful so that he could be with someone wealthy enough to support him and his Aunt for his entire life.

And Seokjin feels disgusted about himself because of that, gold digger. Is that what he is? Marrying someone because of their wealth, that feels so wrong for him.

"Im not going to stay here for today, I'll be away for atleast a week." Lee informed the younger.

Seokjin's eyes widened in surprised. For a week? That's too long, he sighed.

He doesnt want to be away from Lee for that long but he also doesnt want to voice that out. He needs to understand that his servant should have a life of his own and he is the one preventing Lee from all of the things that he should have done.

"Come back for me, okay, hyung?" He said like a child.

Lee cant help but to let out the warmest smile he could ever give seeing the younger brother that he raised, Seokjin is very special to him, he is also like a family to him.

"Of course, Seokjin. I'll surely come back, just give this one for me, okay?"

Seokjin let out a tight-lipped smile nodding his head at the servant who immediately turned his back at him.

Lee closed the windows in Seokjin's room making sure that it was locked before walking towards the younger once again messing up his hair a little.

"Stay here inside the house while im gone, okay? Dont even attempt to go outside, please. It's too dangerous now." He worriedly said.

Of course, Seokjin already tried to sneak out every once in awhile and he's just so lucky that Lee never tells his Aunt about it or he will get a good amount of scolding.

"Im serious now, Seokjin. Dont even do something that may harm you." He said with finality in his voice.

This is one of the main reason as to why Lee is hesitant to take a long vacation. Yes, a week is already too long for him. He spend half of his life taking care of the younger.

He is afraid to leave Seokjin alone because even with the kind heart of the younger, there's still a mischievious one hiding deep inside.

"I wont leave the house, hyung. Dont worry about me." Seokjin said giving him a two thumbs up.

Lee let out a sigh of relief before messing up the younger's hair holding his hand and caressing it looking at him lovingly.

"Go spend your time with your boyfriend." Seokjin said, giggling.

"You have to take care of yourself, okay? Be responsible, Seokjin." Lee said, very much worried.

The younger rolled his eyes, it's as if his servant couldnt hear anything because of how busy he is explaining things to Seokjin and telling him the danger outside the house.

"Nothing will happen. Promise!" Seokjin laughed.
