My Accidental Husband (Taekook)
The Husband from Heaven
Someone
You’re already married! Why are you here to register again?!
Someone
Don’t you realize it’s a crime to be a bigamist?
Kim Taehyung
(startled, stepping out of the courthouse, holding the marriage certificate)
Kim Taehyung
*What just happened...?*
Someone
Mr. Kim, you’re already married. Why did you hire me for a sham wedding? The deposit is non-refundable, by the way. (hurries away)
Kim Taehyung
(Biting his lip) *I've never even had a boyfriend. How could I be married?!*
Kim Taehyung
(looking at the certificate) This is me, but who is this other man?
Kim Taehyung
(taking out his phone, snapping a picture of the certificate, and opening WeChat) I need to find out
Kim Taehyung
(typing) 📧Help me figure out who this is.
Kim Taehyung
(looking back at the certificate) In this photo, I look constrained with a forced smile. That mole on the corner of my eye proves it’s me. But the other man...
Kim Taehyung
He has heavy features and a prominent nose. His thin lips curve into a faint smile, and he stares into the camera lens intently, like he’s piercing through the paper. His mystery and commanding presence can’t be concealed, even in a black-and-white photo
Kim Taehyung
(reading the name) Jeon Jungkook. I’m certain I’ve never met this man! What on earth is going on?!
Someone
Temp Worker 1:
Who is he? He’s so handsome!
Someone
Temp Worker 2:
Shush, he’s the illegitimate son that the Boss doesn’t acknowledge.
Someone
Temp Worker 3:
His mom was the mistress. When Mrs. Kim was about to give birth, she showed up heavily pregnant, demanding rights, and they both delivered on the same day. That old woman has got balls. She has made up all sorts of excuses and not left the house.
Someone
Temp Worker 1:
At least Mr. Taehyung knows his place. He moved out in junior high and hasn’t been back for many years. I wonder what brings him here today…
Taehyung kept his gaze lowered, pretending not to hear their talk, and walked into the living room.
Lee Min-Jung, still elegant at such an age, anxiously pulled him upstairs as soon as he entered the house
Lee Min-Jung
Come with me to see your sister. By the way, did you get the marriage certificate?
There was no emotion in Taehyung’s voice
Kim Taehyung
[It is technically true, even though the groom is someone else.]
Lee Min-Jung
That’s good. You have to remember your place. Jeon Min Ho is your sister’s fiancé. He’s from a high-ranking noble family, something an illegitimate child like you could never hope for! Only your sister is worthy of him!
Hearing those words, a touch of mockery flashes in Taehyung's eyes
Kim Taehyung
[Jeon Min Ho, the legitimate grandson of California’s prominent Jeon family's first branch, pursued me throughout college, only to propose to Yuna on graduation day... Ridiculous right ?!]
Kim Taehyung
[Upon learning about the proposal, Min-Jung, my so-called mother demands that I immediately find someone else to marry, extinguishing any potential between me and Min Ho]
Kim Taehyung
[That’s how it always is... Whenever there's even the slightest conflict between me and Yuna, my so-called mother demands I step aside without question.]
Kim Taehyung
[Because I am the illegitimate son, My very existence is considered a disgrace]
Kim Taehyung
[As a child, I was brainwashed into believing that enduring such hardships was natural.]
Kim Taehyung
[But now, I see it clearly]
Taehyung's expression turns solemn as he emphasizes each word
Kim Taehyung
We agree. This is the last time.
Kim Taehyung
[Min-Jung is the culprit]
Kim Taehyung
[She is the one who clings to the Kim family day in and day out just to see her man, and she is the one trying to placate Yuna.]
Kim Taehyung
[I wouldn't ruin my life for her sake]
Kim Taehyung
[Today's event was to repay Min-Jung for giving birth to me. After that, We are even now]
Lee Min-Jung
(annoyed) I heard you.
In the middle of their conversation, they arrived at Yuna’s room.
The pretty girl was like a princess in her stunning dress. She was sitting on the sofa selecting her jewelry, and the room was filled with the glamorous sparkle of gemstones.
Taehyung, dressed simply, maintained his straight posture despite the contrast.
Kim Yuna
Taehyung, what brings you here?
Lee Min-Jung
Yuna, Taehyung got married today.
Kim Yuna
So soon? Who’s the guy? Is he better than Min Ho?
Lee Min-Jung
(mocking): Of course not! There isn’t a single person in all of California of higher standing than young Master Jeon! Yuna, do you really think he could find a decent suitor? The loser he married didn’t even dare to come here with him. He’s afraid that his poverty-stricken appearance will offend your sight!
Kim Yuna
(with a hint of jealousy): How can that be? Taehyung’s so pretty; otherwise Min Ho wouldn’t have pursued him for four years.
Lee Min-Jung
What’s the use of being pretty? A shabby shoe will only match a ragged sock. Given his status, only the scum of society would marry him. Young Master Jeon merely saw him as a toy and a passing amusement. Only you, Yuna, with your status, are a match for young Master Jeon…
Kim Taehyung
(Frowned) *The man in the photo, with his looks and presence, didn’t seem to correspond with Min-Jung’s description of a ghetto husband and scum at all.*
But he couldn’t be bothered to refute these frivolous remarks.
Right at that moment, Yuna finished picking out her jewelry. She wanted to put on her heels but found it difficult to bend over due to the tight-fitting dress.
Yuna gave Taehyung a slight smile.
Lee Min-Jung
Useless boy, always so oblivious! Your sister is having trouble. Now go on and help her put on her shoes!
Kim Taehyung
[It was always like this. Did Min-Jung still think I am that naive, ignorant little boy who wouldn’t know how to fight back even when bullied?]
Kim Taehyung
(coldly): You can help her yourself.
Lee Min-Jung
Kim Taehyung, what’s this attitude? Do you think you’ve grown wings just because you’re married now? Your husband is nothing more than a freeloader! In the end, you’ll still need to rely on the Kim family!
Lee Min-Jung
(Raised her voice) If you don’t make peace with your sister now, there will come a day when you and your husband will come begging her for help! Besides, the Kim family raised you, so you should be serving the family like a servant!
At that moment, a tall figure appeared at the door. It was their father, Seung-Heon Kim.
Kim Seung-Heon
(frowned) A distinguished guest is about to arrive, and you’re arguing here?
Yuna remained silent, playing innocent.
Lee Min-Jung
(Played the victim): It’s all because of this cursed boy. He’s looking down on his mother just because he got married today…
Kim Seung-Heon
(Fixed his gaze on Taehyung) You got married? Why didn’t you let us help introduce someone decent to you? Where’s the marriage certificate, let me see…
Faced with this estranged father’s so-called concern, Taehyung hesitated for a moment before fishing out the printout from his bag.
However, the very next second, it was snatched away by Min-Jung
Lee Min-Jung
Let me see what kind of loser you married!
Kim Yuna
(curiously) Dad, who’s coming that’s got you so nervous?
Upon thinking of the guest, Seung-Heon instantly brightened up. He excitedly announced
Kim Seung-Heon
It’s Jeon Jungkook.
Kim Taehyung
(immediately taken aback) Who?

*Thoughts*
Husband
Kim Yuna
(looked confused): Who’s Jeon Jungkook? Is he really important?
Kim Taehyung
(was also curious and listened).
Kim Taehyung
👉Someone who had some connections in California, but he had never heard that name.
Kim Seung-Heon
It’s normal for you not to know him because he’s a mystery. Even I have never met him. He is Jeon Min Ho’s young uncle. He’s only 28 years old and is now the real power holder in the Jeon family!
Lee Min-Jung
(gasped): Doesn’t that make him a better match for Yuna than Min Ho? The one in power is much better than any legitimate grandson of the first branch!
Kim Seung-Heon
(snapped): Nonsense, Mr. Jeon is married!
Kim Taehyung
(narrowed his eyes): Married…
Kim Taehyung
*If he really is the man in the marriage certificate, then it would seem that Jungkook should know what’s going on.*
Lee Min-Jung
(seemed disappointed): Who’s his wife? She’s even luckier than Yuna.
Kim Taehyung
(quickly looked at Seung-Heon and heard him say)
Kim Seung-Heon
I don’t know. It’s said that he and his wife aren’t fond of social engagements. (frowned in deep thought) I’m not sure why he suddenly decided to come here today…
Kim Taehyung
[The Jeon family is the top family in California, and the one in control has a very prestigious status.]
Kim Taehyung
[The Kim family is just slightly above average in terms of wealth. This marriage was viewed as Yuna marrying up. It was impressive enough if the one in power could attend the wedding. Why would he personally show up for the betrothal?]
Lee Min-Jung
(interrupted): Yuna must be so outstanding that she has caught the Jeon family’s attention! Yuna, this diamond necklace isn’t grand enough for such important guests. Let’s find something more extravagant!
She stuffed the printout back into Taehyung’s hand and anxiously led Yuna away to pick out new jewelry. She seemed to care more about Yuna than Mrs. Kim, Yuna’s own mother.
Kim Taehyung
(gave a mocking smile.)
Someone
Butler:
Sir, the Jeon family is almost here.
The butler reminded Seung-Heon. As he passed by Taehyung to go downstairs, he casually said…
Kim Seung-Heon
You haven’t been home in a long time. Have a celebratory drink and then go.
He wanted to stay and see who Jeon Jungkook really was!
Inside, Min-Jung helped Yuna pick out her jewelry and put it on for her.
Looking at the bright girl in front of her, Min-Jung couldn’t hide her joy and satisfaction.
Over twenty years ago, if it hadn’t been for Jodie South, aka Mrs. Kim, she would have married Seung-Heon Kim!
She despised Jodie, so she purposely made a scene and gave birth on the same day before switching their children in the hospital.
Lee Min-Jung
*Now, my daughter is getting married in a grand way, and Jodie is even going to prepare an extravagant dowry for her!*
Lee Min-Jung
*As for Taehyung, who had been turned into an illegitimate son, he was penniless and had to marry a little punk!!*
How the tables have turned. Min-Jung believed that Mrs. Kim deserved it!
Kim Taehyung
(lazily stood in the shadow of the staircase, staring at the entrance and waiting quietly for the Jeon family to arrive).
After some time, Mrs. Kim slowly walked downstairs with help from a servant. She wore a purple dress, looking slightly emaciated. She was full of scholarly spirit and seemed unapproachable.
Someone
Servent (said softly):
Ma’am, you’re not well. It’s better if you don’t come down.
Jodie South
(shook her head and spoke while coughing): No… I can’t… miss Yuna’s… important day…
They didn’t notice Taehyung and headed toward the entrance.
Kim Taehyung
(watched Mrs. Kim from behind, his eyes filled with admiration).
It was funny. Mrs. Kim, who should have the right to hate Taehyung the most, was the only kind person he met in the Kim family.
Min-Jung didn’t act like a mother at all and often forgot to feed Taehyung when he was young.
As a child, Taehyung was so skinny and malnourished that he dug around in trash cans for food as soon as he learned to walk.
One day Mrs. Kim found him doing that and started leaving food for him in the garden every day.
She kept up this routine for twelve years.
If it weren’t for Mrs. Kim’s kindness, Taehyung probably would have died of hunger a long time ago.
Kim Taehyung
(watched Mrs. Kim getting farther away and heard the sound of her coughing from time to time. He frowned with worry.)
At that moment, there was a commotion at the entrance. The Jeon family had arrived!
Kim Seung-Heon
(greeted them at the entrance. They exchanged a few words before stepping aside to let a group of people stream in)
Kim Taehyung
(Caught sight of Jeon Jungkook at once).
He was wearing a well-tailored bespoke black suit and walking at the front like a moon surrounded by stars. His features were more distinct than in the photos, with a firm profile and strong jawline.
His deep-set eyes were brooding, his thin lips were stern-looking, and his every move exuded an air of sophistication.
Perhaps sensing his gaze, Taehyung suddenly looked back at him.
For a moment, their eyes met.
His sharp gaze made Taehyung’s heart flutter. Just as he was trying to observe the emotions in his eyes, Jungkook shifted his gaze elsewhere.
This left Taehyung somewhat confused.
Kim Seung-Heon
(asked with a smile) Mr. Jungkook, where’s your wife? Didn’t she come with you?
At the question, Jungkook glanced at Taehyung again. He casually replied
Jeon Jungkook
He couldn't make it
They chatted while walking to the living room.
Min Ho,who had pursued Taehyung for four years, followed behind the elders. Dressed in a suit, he seemed more mature and stable than in college. He didn’t notice Taehyung and was whispering to Yuna absent-mindedly.
Everyone seated Jungkook at the main seat and began to discuss the marriage arrangements.
Only then did Taehyung step out of the shadows.
He stood quietly there, watching the lively scene in the living room.
Suddenly, his arm was grabbed by Min-Jung, who hissed at him
Lee Min-Jung
Taehyung, what are you still doing here? Can’t you give up on Min Ho? Let me tell you. He’s your brother-in-law now!
Kim Taehyung
(Freed himself from her grip and smirked) Don’t worry. I’m not interested in being a mistress. It was Mr. Kim who asked me to stay for a celebratory drink
Since he was old enough to understand the situation, he had always addressed Seung-Heon Kim as “Mr. Kim”.
Lee Min-Jung
(Gritted her teeth ) That’s just his polite way of speaking. You actually take it seriously? Do you really not know your place? In a gathering like this, even I can’t embarrass the Kims, let alone you, an illegitimate son. Are you worthy of having a seat at the table? You better leave now.
Kim Taehyung
*Does she ever stop? She's so annoying!*
Taehyung frowns impatiently, about to retort.
Jeon Jungkook stands and points to his phone, heading toward the balcony.
Kim Taehyung
(eyes lighting up) Fine, I'll go.
Ignoring Min-Jung, he strides out of the living room, making his way to the balcony that leads to the small garden outside.
As he approaches, he notices Jungkook swiftly ending his call and fixing his piercing gaze on him.
I'm Married
A glass door separated the lively sounds in the living room
Kim Taehyung
(staring intently at Jeon Jungkook)
Jungkook's eyes harbor a frosty gaze, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as he turns to head back to the living room.
Kim Taehyung
(quickly steps forward, blocking his way)
Jeon Jungkook
(frowns a little) Out of my way.
Jeon Jungkook
(His voice is deep and pleasant, his tone carrying a touch of elegance)
Kim Taehyung
(suspects something) You… don’t recognize me?
Jeon Jungkook
(looks down at him) Should I?
Upon entering the Kim family home, Jungkook felt an odd pair of eyes closely following him. That gaze was open and transparent, a far cry from the obsequious and nauseating glances of others. That was why he gave him a few more glances. The man was very handsome. His skin was fair. His amorous eyes and the mole at the corner of his eye were attractive but not flirtatious. Although he stood in the corner obediently, he exuded a vague rebellious aura. And when he noticed him looking at him, he didn’t evade. Instead, he looked right back at him. He had initially thought he was different from the men who threw themselves at him but didn’t expect him to be even bolder than them. He addressed him as “Jagiya”
Jeon Jungkook
(a little impatient) Sir, I’m married. Please behave.
Kim Taehyung
May I ask who your husband is?
Jeon Jungkook
It has nothing to do with you.
His answer was short and cold. Taehyung took out the photocopy of the marriage certificate and placed it in front of him.
Kim Taehyung
Mr. Jeon, this man is you, right?
Jeon Jungkook
(Looked at the photocopy and noticed the name of the man on it was Kim Taehyung.)
Jeon Jungkook
(looking up again, mocking) Mr. Kim, an original isn’t expensive, right? You should be more professional if you’re forging this!
With that, Jungkook didn’t return to the living room. Instead, he strode off to the parking lot through the small garden. Taehyung ran after him, trying to talk it through, but he was blocked by two black-suited bodyguards. Taehyung stood his ground, calling out to him as he walked away.
Kim Taehyung
Mr. Jeon, this document is genuine. If you don’t believe it, you can check it with the Civil Affairs Bureau…
Jungkook didn’t stop. He got in the car and left straight away. His personal assistant remained behind and returned to the living room, where he was met by Yuna. Yuna had just witnessed Taehyung clinging to Jungkook Jeon but didn’t catch what exactly they were saying. Seeing Jungkook leave and Taehyung riding out on his electric scooter to follow him, she immediately asked
Kim Yuna
Why did Mr. Jeon leave? Did someone offend him?
Lee Yugyeom/ Jk's secretary
(smiling lightly) Mr. Jeon has some matters to attend to and had to leave early. Could you please inform the elders of the household, Mr. Kim?
Lee Yugyeom/ Jk's secretary
*The boss didn’t reprimand the man, which meant he didn’t hold it against him.*
Yuna immediately nodded, courteously seeing the assistant out.
After setting the wedding date and finishing lunch, the rest of the Jeon family took their leave
After seeing off the guests, Seung-Heon was worried
Kim Seung-Heon
Why did Mr. Jeon leave? Did we do anything to upset him?
Thinking back to how Min-Ho seemed distracted all day as if he was looking for someone, and then to Taehyung’s trouble-causing face, Yuna clenched her fists.
Kim Yuna
(Eyes flickered) Dad, I saw Taehyung pestering Mr. Jeon. Mr. Jeon seemed really angry when he left, and he left a message…
Kim Seung-Heon
What message?
Kim Yuna
Mr. Jeon said he wants you to teach your son well.
(Yuna bit her lip.)
With Taehyung behaving like this, will the Jeon family think we’re not disciplining him properly?
Kim Seung-Heon
(Face turned ashen.)
Taehyung was riding his electric scooter, and just as he left the villa area, he lost sight of Jungkook
Kim Taehyung
(As he was regretting his actions, his phone rang)
Upon answering, he heard his assistant, Mingyu’s voice over the line.
Kim Mingyu / Tae's Assistant
📲Boss, a lot of people have been looking into who Dr. South is lately.
Kim Taehyung
(Raised an eyebrow.) 📲They haven’t uncovered anything, have they?
Kim Mingyu / Tae's Assistant
📲Of course not. After all, no one would ever guess that Dr. South, who conquered the issue of hydrogen fuel, is actually a harmless-looking young man who just graduated from college…
Kim Taehyung
📲Anything else?(cut off his rambling.)
Kim Mingyu / Tae's Assistant
📲 Oh yes, I’ve found the information on Jeon Jungkook!
Kim Mingyu / Tae's Assistant
📲 Jeon Jungkook is the second son of the Jeon Family’s old master. Rumor has it that he has a violent and ruthless personality, hence he was sent overseas when he was little. Everyone thought that the family property would be handed over to his elder brother, that is, Min-Ho’s father. However, Jungkook returned to the country unexpectedly last week, using some ruthless method to force his old man to retire and take control of the Jeon Group
Kim Mingyu / Tae's Assistant
(curiously asked) 📲 Didn’t you find a convenient person for a fake marriage today? How did the groom suddenly turn out to be such a cold-blooded fiend? Boss, if your marital status isn’t stable, it’ll affect the company’s IPO…
Kim Taehyung
(Frowned) 📲 Look up his contact information and schedule. I’ll go talk to him again.
Kim Taehyung
[The reason I agreed to Min-Jung’s absurd demand for an immediate marriage was that being married as the legal representative of the company would be more favorable for the IPO.]
Kim Taehyung
[But I am married to a stranger and didn’t know what plot I might be involved in.]
Kim Taehyung
[Jungkook isn’t an ordinary person, so the best solution would be to get a divorce as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary disputes. What do you say about it.]
After hanging up, Taehyung rubs his temples.
Kim Taehyung
[Things are a bit troublesome. Given Jungkook Jeon’s status, he is escorted by bodyguards when he travels, and it won’t be easy to meet him]
Kim Taehyung
[I shouldn’t have impulsively called him “Jagiya” earlier, which upset him…]
Kim Taehyung
(Sighs, starts his little scooter, and slowly heads home.)
Leaving the bustling city center, he arrives at a city village on the outskirts.
Kim Taehyung
[When I moved out of the Kim family home in junior high school, I didn’t have much money and could only afford to rent an old house here. I have since grown accustomed to it and never moved.]
As he is about to reach his home after turning a corner, an old lady in her 80s or 90s suddenly springs out from the side of the road!
Kim Taehyung
(Slams on the brakes, narrowly avoiding a collision.)
Kim Taehyung
(When he looks at the old woman, he initially thinks the woman is trying to deliberately provoke an accident, but quickly realizes something is wrong.)
Although the old woman is thin and short, she is well-dressed and doesn’t appear to be from an ordinary family. She has a tag around her neck, which has a contact number with a note that says
“If you find this lady, please dial this number. A reward will be given.”
Kim Taehyung
[It has to be Alzheimer’s disease.]
Kim Taehyung
[Someone is missing a family member.]
Taehyung immediately takes out his phone and begins to dial the number on the tag.
The old woman is staring blankly before, but she suddenly becomes active. She grabs Taehyung’s wrist, her cloudy eyes shining brightly
Old woman
Grandson-in-law! You are my grandson-in-law!
Kim Taehyung
(corner of his’s mouth twitches)
Kim Taehyung
[I have been single for 22 years, but suddenly I have another husband.]
Kim Taehyung
[Is the Civil Affairs Bureau doing husband wholesale these days?]
Kim Taehyung
[It's getting more interesting.]
Kim Taehyung
(Finds it amusing and casually asks) Granny, who is your grandson?
Old woman
(racks her brains.)
Old Mrs.Jeon
*What is my grandson’s name again… Oh right, Jeon Jungkook !!*
