Jeon Jungkook' Desobéissance

• There is no need to spoil him.

• Stop poking him, Sakha.

• Let him learn order and know his place.

These are all the words of his father, who knows the words "discipline," "order," and "study." Jungkook was the son of rather principled parents; their home had strict rules and regulations. And this was the main drawback; there was no freedom a child would want. Jungkook was his father. He was the director of the best university in the country. Sakha was his mother. She was an English and German teacher, also at the best school in the country. I think it's clear what kind of parents he would have. Decent, intelligent people, manners and ethics above all else. And also study, discipline, and no negligence.

While his mother was more or less inclined to be gentle, his father was not. Jungkook never let his son get away with anything. He was to be home by seven o'clock, eat exactly what he was given, and at the right time. No tantrums. Any tantrums? "A belt." No, Jungkook wasn't beaten, but the man could often threaten to do so. And it always worked, because the boy knew that angering his father was a lost cause. But prohibitions and rules don't always have a positive effect; more often than not, they work quite the opposite.

And so it happened. Jungkook was only eleven, but he could no longer stand the stifling rules of his family. They were strict and oppressive. And like many children, he defied his parents' prohibitions. Both his mother and father detested anything related to alcohol and other bad habits. And they especially couldn't stand the topic of piercings. Jungkook had one, but he forbade his son from getting tattoos or inserting foreign objects into his body. Jungkook sometimes even dreaded imagining what his father would do if he saw his son do this. But that's exactly what he did: one day, he went to a friend's house and pierced his lip. All by himself. That was the worst part, because the procedure wasn't even performed by a professional, but by a child who was only eleven years old.

"Does it suit me, Jihyun?" Jungkook asks, looking at his friend.

Jihyun froze, his face slightly grimacing.

• Well...I don't even know, it seems so, but...
