Sweet Hidden Omega

chapter - 1

Fate took everything from me in my previous life, perhaps because I was destined to meet you, the one who is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
—- Taehyung.
Hyunjin(O)
Hyunjin(O)
“I don’t have much time left with my condition. If I miss this chance, I might never get a heart with Bombay Blood again in my life. Mom, I don’t want to die, I really don’t…”
Park sun-a(B)
Park sun-a(B)
“But he saved your life once before…”
Hyunjin(O)
Hyunjin(O)
“So what? Mom, haven’t you realized what a vile person he is? He’s not clean in his private life, he’s so fickle, and he even drove away the man I loved most! He owes me everything, and he can repay that debt with his heart! That’s his destiny, mom, I really don’t want to die, I don’t want to leave you…”
Lying on the hospital bed in the Intensive Care Unit, Taehyung, who had been stabbed and had been in a coma for two months, suddenly heard a voice.
Lee Taehyung(O)
Lee Taehyung(O)
(Whose voice was this? Could it be Hyunjin?) * mind *
Hyunjin had been suffering from congenital heart disease, but due to his rare blood type, he had never been able to receive a heart transplant. The doctors had determined that he wouldn’t live past his 25th birthday.
But he himself also shared the same rare blood type. Was he saying that he wanted Taehyung’s heart?
Summoning all his strength, Taehyung forced his eyes open.
Lee Taehyung(O)
Lee Taehyung(O)
(He wasn’t dead. He wasn’t going to let him take his heart.) *mind*
Park sun-a suddenly seeing the young man in the bed opening his eyes, turned pale with shock.
Park sun-a(B)
Park sun-a(B)
“...Taehyung.”
Hyunjin’s expression instantly changed. He spun around to look at the young man in the bed, his face filled with terror. When did he wake up? How much did he hear?
Taehyung tried to speak, but his throat was so dry that no sound came out. Having faced numerous threats before, Taehyung's family had always kept him protected. He had barely made any friends, and Hyunjin was the only friend he had ever had. Because he had always been so frail, Taehyung had tried his best to fulfill all of Hyunjin's wishes, wanting to be a good brother so he wouldn’t have any regrets in life.
But now, at this very moment, Hyunjin was trying to kill him just to take his heart? Hyunjin’s fear slowly faded as he took in Taehyung’s current state. A cruel smile spread across his pale, sickly face. In an instant, he grabbed a syringe from Kim Sun-a’s hand.
Hyunjin(O)
Hyunjin(O)
“Taehyung, you always said we were best friends and that you’d do anything to make me happy. Well, I want to live, so help me now by giving me your heart.”
Park sun-a(B)

“Hyunjin…”
Kim Sun-a tried to pull her son back, attempting to dissuade him.
But Hyunjin’s face grew even darker as he glared at Taehyung.
Hyunjin(O)
Hyunjin(O)
“Mom, would you really choose someone like him over your own son? It’s either him or me! I have no other choice!”
Ignoring his mother’s pleas, Hyunjin injected the drug into Taehyung’s arm.

Hyunjin(O)
“If Lee Do-hyun finds out he’s awake, he’ll never let me have his heart.”
He couldn’t live or be with Lee Do-hyun unless Taehyung was dead. Taehyung wanted desperately to survive and struggled against the situation. But after being in a coma for two months, he was too weak to fight back.
He saw the fierce determination in Hyunjin’s eyes, and Hyunjin was no longer the weak boy he had always seemed to be. Hyunjin injected the drug into Taehyung’s arm, slowly pushing the plunger down. Taehyung’s strength faded, and his eyelids grew heavy. Just before his eyes closed, he thought he saw the door to the room open, and a handsome, elegant man in a protective suit entered. That figure was so familiar, approaching slowly but surely.
Lee Taehyung(O)
Lee Taehyung(O)
(It was Lee Do-hyun! Lee Do-hyun, save me!) * mind *
As Lee Do-hyun entered, Taehyung felt a flicker of hope. He fought to stay conscious.
Lee do-hyun(E)
Lee do-hyun(E)
“How is he? Still in a coma?”
Hyunjin(O)
Hyunjin(O)
“He’s still unconscious. Mom and the nurses said time is running out.”
After a moment of silence, a low, raspy voice filled the room.
Lee do-hyun(E)
Lee do-hyun(E)
“Schedule the surgery and prepare to remove the heart.”
That one sentence shattered Taehyung’s last hope.
His consciousness faded until he finally succumbed to the darkness.
.
.
.
Taehyung had been lost in the darkness for what felt like an eternity when he suddenly opened his eyes.
He found himself not in a hospital bed as he expected but in a bedroom with a cold, minimalist decor. The sound of running water indicated someone was taking a shower in the adjoining bathroom. He massaged his head, feeling the sticky wetness of blood, and looked down to find himself dressed in nothing but a silk robe that barely covered his body. Fearful of this unfamiliar room, Taehyung quickly got up, steadying himself on a nearby shelf as he tried to stagger toward the door.
Just then, the bathroom door swung open, and Taehyung collided with a man emerging from the steam, his upper body glistening with water droplets, a towel wrapped around his waist.
The man was muscular, with a strikingly handsome and chiseled physique. Taehyung lifted his gaze and instantly froze in terror as he recognized the man's face. It was... Jeon Jungkook? What was he doing here with him?
Jeon Jungkook was the head of the Jeon Family’s finance empire and the top tycoon in business in the Hua Land.
And the Lee Family’s sworn enemy.
Jungkook grabbed the young boy’s slender arm, his dark, intense eyes filled with anger
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
“You’re still trying, aren’t you?”
Lee Taehyung(O)
Lee Taehyung(O)
“Trying what ?”
Taehyung struggled, his arm aching from Jungkook's firm grip.
What was happening? He wasn’t in the hospital anymore, and now he was with this man?
Jungkook’s expression darkened as he roughly dragged Taehyung to the bed and shoved him onto it. The forceful action made Taehyung cry out in surprise, his face growing paler by the second.
He fought desperately to free himself, but Jungkook held him down firmly on the bed. Jungkook’s voice was cold and accusing.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
“You’ve pulled this stunt too many times. Isn’t this exactly what you wanted?”
Lee Taehyung(O)
Lee Taehyung(O)
“No, it wasn’t me, this isn’t what I want...”
Taehyung protested, his voice trembling. What was going on?
He hadn’t died at Hyunjin’s hands, but now he was here with Jeon Jungkook. How had this happened?
Later, Taehyung was woken by a loud noise, unable to sleep any longer.
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
“Kim Taehyung, the doctor already said you’re out of danger. Stop pretending!”
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
“Grandma only let you stay here out of pity! But you’re so shameless that you actually want to become my brother’s partner!”
Taehyung was bewildered as he looked at the unfamiliar person in front of him and took in the strange surroundings.
Before he could make sense of the situation, he was shoved into a bathroom where he caught sight of his reflection in the mirror. The sight made him gasp for air in shock. Staring back at him was a very young man, probably 18 or 19 years old. But this wasn’t his face. Suddenly, unfamiliar memories flooded his mind. Taehyung stared at the young man in the mirror, hardly able to believe what had happened to him. He had died.
But he had been reborn in another person’s body, someone named Kim Taehyung, an 18-year-old boy who happened to share the same name as him. The boy bore a resemblance to Him, yet there were clear differences that set them apart. While he had a mature presence with sharp features, this boy appeared more beautiful in a softer, more delicate way. Unlike him, who had no mole on his nose or face, this boy had a charming mole on his nose and another on his lips, adding to his beauty. Taehyung had two birthmarks behind his ears, and his eyes were a striking gray, whereas the young boy's eyes were a warm hazel
And the trouble he was in now was because of something the original Kim Taehyung had done. Kim Taehyung had tried to take advantage of Jeon Jungkook when he was slightly drunk after a banquet. He had drugged Jungkook’s soup, intending to seduce him while wearing the revealing silk robe. However, Kim Taehyung had died before his plan could succeed. And now, Lee Taehyung found himself reborn in Kim Taehyung’s body, left to deal with the consequences of his actions.

chapter -2

Taehyung stood still for a long time in front of the mirror, trying hard to calm himself down and accept the reality of what had happened to him. With people outside the room urging him to hurry, he took a quick shower. Afterward, he picked a beige-colored shirt that only exposed half of his shoulders from among all the other revealing clothes that belonged to Kim Taehyung. Han So-hee stood behind him, and jealousy flashed across her face when she noticed the marks on his skin.

"Taehyung, did you really... sleep with the Master?"
Taehyung noticed Han So-hee's expression in the mirror’s reflection.
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
"Seems like it,"
If he could go back in time, he would have done everything possible to avoid being forced into Jeon Jungkook’s bed. Seeing Taehyung turn around, Han So-hee put on an affable smile.
Han so hee(O)
Han so hee(O)
"Let’s go. The Old Lady and everyone else are already waiting downstairs."
Even if he had been with Jeon Jungkook last night, Taehyung knew he would likely be thrown out of the Jeon Family today. He steeled himself and followed So-hee downstairs to face the Jeon Family and their inevitable interrogation.
In the living room downstairs, two people were seated. One was an elderly woman with grey hair, the Old Lady of the Jeon Family, who sighed in disappointment when she saw him. The other was the young man who had woken him up earlier—Jeon Yoongi, the second brother of Jeon Jungkook. Jeon Yoongi had a twin brother named Jeon Suga, who was absent today.
The last person was Jeon Jungkook, the man who had... been with him the previous night. Jungkook sat in a suit, exuding an air of arrogance and nobility. Taehyung understood the situation well, not only because he shared the same memories with Kim Taehyung but also because the Jeon Family was the sworn enemy of the Lee Family, who had always sought to obtain information on the Jeon Family. As he stood before the three of them, it felt as though he was about to be interrogated by a panel of judges.
Jeon Yoongi, known for his hot temper, was the first to lash out.
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"Grandma brought you into the Jeon Family because your grandfather saved ours and because you lost your family.
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
We gave you food and a roof over your head, but you weren’t satisfied. Now you want to marry my brother and become Lady Jeon. You’ve been dreaming too big."
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"Kim Taehyung, nothing will change just because of what happened last night."
Taehyung remained silent. Despite being the victim of the events from the night before, it now seemed like he had somehow wronged Jeon Jungkook.
Seeing Taehyung’s silence, Han So-hee stepped in to defend him in a sweet tone.
Han so hee(O)
Han so hee(O)
"Second Master, Taehyung has gone through a lot after losing his family. He didn’t intend for any of this to happen."
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"Didn’t intend to? He’s been at it non-stop since he moved into the Jeon Family. Always pestering my brother, breaking Father’s antiques..."(sneered.)
Taehyung didn’t respond, instead opting to observe quietly. Jeon Jungkook checked the time and said to the Old Lady.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"Make sure he’s gone before I get back, or I’ll handle it myself."
Taehyung felt a shiver run down his spine, shrinking back at the cold intent in Jungkook's words. Just as Jungkook was about to leave for the company, Han So-hee received a call. She stopped him, her expression turning serious.
Han so hee(O)
Han so hee(O)
"Master, there’s a problem with 'The Rose,' the painting we auctioned for Mr. Wilson."
Jungkook’s face darkened.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"What happened?"
Han so hee(O)
Han so hee(O)
"Assistant Min was busy earlier, so I brought the painting back with me. On the way, I picked up Taehyung who... accidentally spilled coffee on the painting..."
The moment Jeon Yoongi heard this, he erupted in anger, yelling furiously.
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"Kim Taehyung, we spent tens of millions on that painting, and it's crucial to our collaboration with the Wilson Group, and you spilled coffee on it?"
Jeon Jungkook, though not as outwardly emotional as Jeon Yoongi, had a cold expression that made it clear he wasn’t pleased.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"Is there any way to repair it?"
Han So-hee shook her head helplessly.
Han so hee(O)
Han so hee(O)
"I sent the painting to the experts, and they called to say the damage is irreparable. Mr. Wilson and his wife are arriving in the capital tomorrow, and they’re very fond of this painting. What are we going to do?"
Taehyung observed Han So-hee calmly as she spoke, a slight sneer forming on his lips. He remembered clearly that the painting had been placed in the back seat, and Han So-hee had specifically asked him to hold it. Plus, she had bought him the coffee. It was Han So-hee who had purchased the coffee, and it spilled because she had suddenly braked. Now, it seemed that Kim taehyung was being made to take full responsibility. Han So-hee was cunning, shifting the blame onto Taehyung without a second thought. What a devious woman. Ever since Kim taehyung had moved into the Jeon Family, Han So-hee had tried to befriend him, acting like a caring older sister. But Kim taehyung, who was young and naive, hadn’t realized she was setting him up.
Han So-hee had told him that Jeon Jungkook liked omaga with a sexy appearance, leading him to dress in a more mature, revealing way, which only made him look out of place, like a hostess at a nightclub. She had also convinced him that altering the Feng Shui of the Jeon Family home would improve his relationship with Jungkook, which resulted in him breaking an antique vase belonging to the family. Step by step, Kim Taehyung had been manipulated into becoming the most disliked person in the Jeon Family. Lee Taehyung, who was now in his place, wasn’t as naive. He could see that Han So-hee wasn’t helping him; she was trying to get the Jeon Family and Jungkook to dislike him enough to throw him out. Jeon Jungkook shot a cold look at Taehyung.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"Kim Taehyung, regardless of how it happened, you’re going to have to face the consequences."
The Old Lady glanced at Taehyung, who stood silently.
Old Lady Jeon

"Taehyung, did you really... ruin the painting?"
Taehyung nodded, accepting the responsibility.
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
"Yes, I spilled the coffee."
Although it hadn’t been his intention, the coffee had spilled because of him. The Old Lady sighed in disappointment. Last night’s incident had already angered Jungkook, who didn’t demand consequences solely out of respect for his grandmother. But now, this was about a critical business deal. The Jeon Family had spent months negotiating with the Wilson Group, and the painting had been meant as a gift to solidify the partnership. But now, it was ruined by Taehyung’s mistake.
Jeon Jungkook looked at Han So-hee.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"Bring the painting back."
Han So-hee quickly made a call, and within an hour, the damaged painting was placed in front of Taehyung.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"You have two options—either repair the painting perfectly or find another painting by Priam."
Taehyung blinked, his expression a mix of cunning and intelligence.
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
"Any third options?"
Jeon Jungkook stared at him, his gaze chilling.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"Or, take responsibility."
Han so hee(O)
Han so hee(O)
"Master, Taehyung didn’t mean to do it. There are hardly any Priam paintings available. We spent months finding this one. How could he possibly get another right now?" (Han So-hee stood up, pleading on his behalf.)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"So-hee, stop defending him. If he doesn’t take responsibility, he’ll end up in jail"
Han So-hee glanced at Jeon Jungkook’s cold expression, a barely visible smile playing on her lips. This time, Kim Taehyung was surely going to be kicked out of the Jeon Family.
She couldn’t even move into this house, so what made this naive boy think he could stay? But Taehyung wasn’t frightened by the situation. He looked at the painting in front of him.
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
"Actually, you should all be thanking me."
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"Thank you?"
Jeon Yoongi was so annoyed that he burst into laughter, thinking that Taehyung must have lost his mind.
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"Kim Taehyung, you just ruined a famous painting we spent tens of millions on, and now you want us to thank you? Who’s the maniac here, you or me?"
The idea that Taehyung had the nerve to suggest they should thank him after ruining such an expensive painting was absurd.
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
"Of course, you’re the maniac,"
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"You..."
Taehyung glanced at the oil painting, which was one of the "Rose Garden" series by Priam, a famous European painter from the 19th century. The rose in the painting had been beautiful, but the coffee that had soaked into the canvas had dimmed the colors, stripping away both the painting's original beauty and its artistic essence.
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
"You spent tens of millions of yuan on a forgery. Now, tell me, who’s the real maniac?"
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"A forgery?!"
Jeon Yoongi was stunned, finding it hard to believe that Taehyung was trying to defend himself with what seemed like a ridiculous excuse.
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"You don’t know anything about painting, "so how would you know if a painting is real or fake?"
Han so hee(O)
Han so hee(O)
"The painting was bought from a reputable auction platform, and an expert verified it. It can’t be a forgery."
She had been the one to find and purchase the painting at the auction, and now Taehyung was accusing her of spending millions on a fake. It was an attack on her credibility.
Jungkook's expression grew even colder.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"You’d better have a perfect explanation for this claim."
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
"Priam’s paintings are known for their use of thin layers of paint, creating a transparent or semi-transparent effect that gives his work a lively quality. This forgery mimics his style, but it’s definitely not by Priam."
Han so hee(O)
Han so hee(O)
"I’ve studied painting for years, so why didn’t I notice what you’re claiming?"
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
"If you don’t believe me, you can consult Mr. Cheon Ho-jin, an expert on Priam’s work and the director of the National Association of Fine Arts. He should be able to verify whether the painting is authentic or not."
Jeon Yoongi let out a cold laugh.
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"You just won’t give up, will you?"
He couldn’t believe that Taehyung was trying to wriggle out of this situation by making such a bold claim.
Old Lady Jeon

"If you want her to take responsibility, you need to be completely sure. Ask Mr. Cheon to come here and examine the painting."

chapter - 3

Jungkook called his assistant and asked them to bring Cheon Ho-jin to the house to assess the painting.
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"Fine, let’s have Mr. Cheon take a look. When he proves the painting is real, let’s see what else you have to say."
Taehyung didn’t back down.
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
"If it’s real, I’ll pay for it, no matter the cost."
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
(Then, with a sinister smile, he added), "But if it’s a forgery?"
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"If it’s a forgery, I’ll call you 'Dad.'"
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
"Very well. Don’t go back on your word,"
Taehyung said with confidence before turning to the Old Lady.
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
"Grandma, I’ll go pack."
Grandma Fu nodded. After what had happened the night before, it was clear that Jungkook wouldn’t allow Taehyung to stay, whether the painting was real or fake. Taehyung went upstairs and packed Kim Taehyung’s belongings. After finishing, he didn’t hurry back down but instead sat quietly in the room, contemplating his next move.
After a while, Jeon Yoongi barged in with a displeased expression
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"Kim Taehyung, Mr. Cheon is here. It’s too late to hide now."
Taehyung didn’t argue. He opened the door and followed Jeon Yoongi downstairs, carrying his luggage. On the first floor, an elderly man, around 70 years old, was conversing with Jungkook and the others.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"Mr. Cheon, my assistant must have informed you why we asked you to come. Please examine this painting by Priam and tell us if it’s genuine,"
Cheon Ho-jin
Cheon Ho-jin
"A painting by Priam?" .
Cheon Ho-jin’s eyes widened in surprise.
Cheon Ho-jin
Cheon Ho-jin
"There are very few of his paintings in circulation. How did you manage to find one?"
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"We purchased it at an underground auction,"
Jungkook explained, gesturing to the painting on the table.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"You’re an expert on Priam’s work, so please take a close look."
Cheon Ho-jin, visibly excited, approached the table to examine the painting. However, as soon as he did, his expression darkened.
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"How is it? It’s real, right?"
Jeon Yoongi was eager for confirmation.
Cheon Ho-jin removed his glasses and frowned deeply. He turned to Jeon Yoongi and the others, displeasure written all over his face.
Cheon Ho-jin
Cheon Ho-jin
Are you trying to pull a prank on me?
Jungkook’s eyes narrowed.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Are you saying this painting is... a forgery?
Jeon Yoongi was taken aback and leaned in to examine the painting more closely.
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"Mr. Cheon, please take another look. Should I get you a magnifier? We spent tens of millions on this painting—how could it be a forgery?"
Cheon Ho-jin
Cheon Ho-jin
"Tens of millions?"
Cheon Ho-jin scoffed, clearly uninterested in giving the painting another glance.
Cheon Ho-jin
Cheon Ho-jin
"Who would be foolish enough to spend that much on a fake?"
Han So-hee glanced nervously at Jungkook, a slight panic setting in.
Han so hee(O)
Han so hee(O)
"Mr. Cheon, please look again. You only glanced at it. Isn’t that a bit hasty to declare it a forgery?"
She had helped acquire the painting, and if it turned out to be fake, she would be in serious trouble. It would be a major blow to her reputation.
Cheon Ho-jin
Cheon Ho-jin
(irritated,)"I don’t need to look again! I’ve seen enough of Priam’s work to distinguish a forgery from the real thing at a glance."
Cheon Ho-jin
Cheon Ho-jin
"Besides, the original painting is in the possession of one of my acquaintances. I’ve seen it in their home, and they’re not the type to sell it to anyone."
His deep knowledge of Priam’s work made him particularly offended by such blatant forgeries. Jeon Yoongi had been prepared to tear into Taehyung after Cheon Ho-jin’s evaluation, but now that the painting was confirmed as a fake, he had to swallow his words. Han So-hee, who had spent millions on a forgery, was too shaken to speak. She realized she was in a much more precarious position than she had anticipated. Jungkook looked up at Taehyung, who was descending the stairs, his expression unreadable.
Old Lady Jeon

"Taehyung, how did you know the painting was fake?"
Everyone turned their attention to Taehyung after the Old Lady’s question, waiting for his response.
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
"My mother was fond of oil painting and often took me to exhibitions abroad. I’ve seen other works by this artist, so the difference was easy to spot,"
Taehyung explained briefly. In reality, the authentic version of this painting, Rose, had been purchased by the Lee family eight years ago. It had been displayed in their living room ever since. Mother Lee was an avid collector of Priam’s paintings and had several at home. Cheon Ho-jin, as a fellow painting enthusiast, had visited the Lee family and seen the original version of this painting there.
Hearing that Taehyung had been the first to spot the forgery, Cheon Ho-jin couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the young man standing with his luggage nearby.
Cheon Ho-jin
Cheon Ho-jin
"You have a sharp eye, young man. Even though it’s a forgery, the artist did an excellent job making it resemble the original. If I hadn’t seen the authentic one myself, I wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference so quickly,"
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
(modestly). "It was just a coincidence."
It was indeed a coincidence that he had also seen the original painting before.
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"Soo-hee, you were careless. How could you make such a mistake with something this important? If Taehyung hadn’t noticed the forgery in time, and the painting had been delivered to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson tomorrow, Fu’s Enterprise would have faced a significant loss!"
Han so hee(O)
Han so hee(O)
"I... I didn’t expect this either. The middleman guaranteed that it was an authentic painting!" (muttered guiltily, trying to explain.)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
“Go and call the lawyer and find the middle agent and the auctioneer. They must pay back what we have lost. That is your job, do not leave it to anyone else.”
This directive was aimed not only at Assistant Min-jae but also at Han Soo-hee.
"Yes, Boss. I’m on it," Min-jae nodded.
Jeon Yoongi(A)
Jeon Yoongi(A)
"Brother, let Soo-hee and me handle this. Min-Jae has to lead the afternoon meeting,"
Jeon Yoongi volunteered. Since the painting was a forgery, he had to call Kim Taehyung dad according to the bet they had set up just now. So he must take off as soon as possible. Han Soo-hee shot a glare at Taehyung. She had planned to use this situation to have him thrown out of the villa entirely, but instead, not only had her plan backfired, but she had also lost credibility.
Jungkook personally poured a cup of tea for Cheon Ho-jin.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"Mr. Cheon, this situation is urgent for us. We desperately need a painting by Priam. Could you possibly spare one from your collection?"
Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson were deeply interested in Priam’s works, but finding an authentic piece on such short notice was proving difficult. Cheon Ho-jin, however, had a collection of Priam’s paintings. If he could part with one, the crisis would be averted.
Cheon Ho-jin
Cheon Ho-jin
"Absolutely not! These are my treasured possessions, and I won’t part with any of them, no matter what you offer,"
Cheon Ho-jin responded firmly, not even bothering to drink the tea before making his exit.
Jungkook knew it was futile to press the matter further, so he didn’t try to convince him.
Jeon Jungkook(E)
Jeon Jungkook(E)
"Min-jae, see Mr. Cheon out,"
Jungkook instructed. After Cheon Ho-jin left, Jungkook turned his gaze to Taehyung, studying him for a moment before speaking slowly.

You were right about the painting, but that doesn’t mean you can stay here.
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
Lee/ Kim Taehyung(O)
(immediately,) “I get it. I will leave this place right now and I will never show up in front of you again .”

“...”
Sea La Vie
Sea La Vie Compound belonged to the Jeon family, and it had been vacant until now. After leaving the villa, Taehyung temporarily moved into the Sea La Vie Compound. The apartment was new, and not as luxurious as the villa, but it was well-decorated and had all the necessary amenities. Taehyung cleaned the room, unpacked his belongings, and headed to the shower. Afterwards, he removed the makeup that made him look older, changed into a T-shirt and jeans, and took a rest in his new apartment. After resting for a while, he straightened his previously wavy hair and went out to buy some clothes and other necessities. Upon returning home, he received a call from the Old Lady, who asked for a favor from Cheon Ho-jin, whom he had met the previous day.
