Jeongguk  was  appalled  by  the  words of the given options and he couldn't  seem  to  find  which  one  is  worse.
                          
The  said asshole Dohyung was  the  one  Jeongguk  beat  into  shit  and  the  elders  want  to  hand  Taehyung  over  to  him  and  he  didn't even  want  to  think  about  the  second  option.
                          
He  saw  Taehyung's  sister  wiping  her  tears  away  as  she  asked  for  some  time  to  discuss  the  options among  family  but  Jeongguk's had  enough, he  couldn't  just  sit  there  and  turn  a  blind  eye  to  these terrible  happenings  and  just  move  on  with  his  life  the  next  day. 
                          
"Pardon!?" He voiced out. 
                          
"Excuse  me?" The  leader  questioned  as  all  the  heads  turned  to  Jeongguk's side  as  he  stood  up. 
                          
"Literally  both  the  options  you've provided  are  shit. You  should  be  punishing  these filths. . .Them. But  you are  here  discussing  what  to  do  with  the  victim? How  sick  and  twisted  could  you  be?" 
                          
"Listen  young man, I  know  you  were  born  and  brought  up  in  Seoul  and  have  different  ideals  but  it's  our community  and  also  it's  your words  against  theirs. There  is  no  proof  of  what's  the  truth, So  I  would like  if  you  are  respectful  to  our  people  and  not  cause  any  more  damage." one  of  the  elders  had spoken. 
                          
"You  could  ask  Taehyung, what he-"  he  couldn't  finish  his  line  of  thought  as  another  elder  cut  him  off. 
                          
"And  then  what?  Who  is  going  to  take  his  responsibility? He  can't  be  a  burden  on  his Siblings forever with this taint on his innocence. He  needs  a partner. Who  do  you  suggest  that  would  be?  No  one!  No  one  in  the community  or  any other  community in daegu would  claim  him after what had happened. It's  our  duty  to  find  him  a  home. You  city  people  think  it's  all  easy  to live  here  but  Taehyung  doesn't  have  anyone  now." 
                          
"He  can  decide  that  for  himself.  It's  your  fault  that  he  needs to marry someone to  rely  on. If  you  had  let  him study,  to  have  a  career,  it  won't  have  come  to  this!"  Jeongguk  barked  back.
                          
"Gguk-ah." His  mother  tugged  his  sleeves  and  shook  her  head  to  stop  him. 
                          
But who's to tell? He was not at all getting whatever the hell was happening. 
                          
"Okay. I  agree  it's  our  fault."  Another  elder  began  with  a  long  sigh. "I  agree  with  you, I  have  a granddaughter  myself  and  I  understand  you  but  what's  done  is  done. We  really  want  to  find  a  home for  him. Trust us, He  won't  be  able  to  survive  alone. He  needs  someone. 
                          
Then the old guy sighed after a thought and said... 
                          
"Tell  me  if  you  have  a better  plan."
