Namjoon didn’t think he had it in him to hate his mother but he found out soon enough that it’s possible. The moment he stepped foot in front of her to legally become Taehyung’s guardian, he was met with multiple slaps until an office worker stopped her from doing so. “This is all your fault!. Had it not been for you straying him on the wrong path, my baby would not have done such a thing. They wouldn’t have taken him away from me!”.
