Blowing off some steam
As Jason walked down the street it was as though his body was on autopilot mode. In his heated state of mind all he could think about was the argument he had just had with his mom and how she had slapped him.
Even though Jason's parents were both Korean they had used a completely different parenting style compared to the stereotypical tiger parenting that was associated with Asian parents.
In his past life his parents had never resorted to physical discipline. They had always taken Jason's opinions in consideration while explaining to him why he should or shouldn't do something.
'Why the hell would she just hit me? She didn't even try to talk or explain anything. This is a training camp invitation from Nike!
This is literally a once in a lifetime type situation. And just because the training camp is in New York she doesn't want me to go?
She was literally jumping from joy when she first found out that I had received the invitation.
