From Sidekick To Bigshot (S1)
C1: Must Acknowledge Your Mistake
As Kim Taehyung left the room and walked up the stairs, Kim Seokjin suddenly glanced at him from downstairs.
When their eyes met and Kim Seokjin had an expression that was filled with warmth and sorrow. He appeared to have wanted to say something but instead, he hesitated.
His Omega son was cherished by him from a young age, however...
Kim Seokjin started to cry in Kim Namjoon’s arms. He sobbed.
Kim Seokjin
It’s all my fault, I spoiled Taehyung too much...
Although Kim Namjoon had been in the corporate world for many years and had been through various matters, large or small, he had never frowned and creased his brows. However, today’s event made his eyes red.
Kim Namjoon
No, it’s not all your fault, I’m also in the wrong. Fortunately, it’s not too late to educate him. If we start teaching him properly, Taehyung can still fix his ways.
Kim Namjoon said whilst gently patting his wife’s back.
Kim Namjoon was not in a good frame of mind either. He had to admit that out of their four children, he and his wife spoiled their Omega son a bit more as he was the youngest and the only Omega.
However, this did not mean he didn’t love his other three children. When such a thing happened to his third son, he felt terrible.
The married couple looked at each other, their eyes filled with sadness, lament, responsibility, and reluctance.
The emotion that showed up in their eyes was foreign to Taehyung.
In his past life, when his parents had discovered his talents, they had signed a contract with an institute and left Taehyung there. In return, every year, the institute would send a large sum of money to his parents.
Taehyung rarely had a chance to interact with his parents. On the rare occasions where he got to meet his parents, their eyes were filled with coldness and indifference that made Taehyung feel that he was miles away from them. Even if there were words of care regarding his well-being, it was done in a manner that felt as though it was a memorized and prepared speech. There was never any warmth in that.
However, the couple looked at him in a manner that affected him greatly. It made no sense to him, yet his emotions were running rampant.
Perhaps in this matter, they didn’t choose to believe in Taehyung. However, their love for Taehyung was real.
Kim Seokjin suddenly left his husband’s embrace and ran up the stairs to come to Taehyung’s side.
The fifteen-year-old Taehyung looked quite petite and small compared to his peers as he had a premature birth.
He had a small doll-like face with delicate features. Even at the age of fifteen, he still had a bit of baby fat on his face that had not grown away.
At this moment, Taehyung’s silence made Seokjin feel even more terrible.
Seokjin lowered his voice and severely scolded Taehyung.
Kim Seokjin
Taehyung, you must admit your mistake this time. In a bit, your father and I will go to the hospital to see your third brother. You must come with me and say sorry to him! You need to go ask for his forgiveness! If you don’t correct yourself, even your father and I won’t forgive you!
Kim Seokjin had never been so strict with Taehyung before.
He knew that there was no point in trying to explain himself at this moment.
If he kept trying to deny that he did it, he would follow the footsteps of Kim Taehyung from the novel. That would push himself to a precarious position.
In the evening, Kim Seokjin asked Aunt An to make some tonic soup and some dishes. After placing the food into a thermal mug, Seokjin dragged Taehyung with him to the hospital.
The Kim residence was in the middle of the mountains. This area was filled with villas that were owned by powerful and influential individuals of the Hengyuan City.
The hospital that Kim Yeonjun was residing in was half an hour ride away from their house. It was the best private hospital in Hengyuan City.
When they arrived at the hospital ward, they saw their son’s arm hoisted to frame, his face pale and lifeless, their hearts filled with pain.
Kim Yeonjun and Kim Bo-gum had similar facial features. They both are exquisite and sharp.
However, compared to the older brother, Kim Yeonjun’s features were softer and more tender.
Yet right now, his tender features exhibited sorrow, and his eyes were filled with despair.
Kim Yeonjun was only seventeen years old. Encountering such an experience affected him too much.
Kim Bo-gum sat next to Kim Yeonjun in silence.
His face was shrouded with gloom.
Kim Seokjin
Yeonjun, mummy asked Aunt An to make your favorite dishes. Would you eat a little?
Seokjin asked gently as he walked up.
Yeonjun immediately turned his head to the side.
Seokjin knew that his son was upset.
He continued to comfort him beside the bed and hoped that Yeonjun could open up to him.
Kim Bo-gum told his mother that.
Kim Bo-gum
Mo Shiyun had visited a while ago. She brought some food and fed third brother.
C2: You Only Know To Protect Taehyung
After hearing those words, Seokjin paused for a bit before replying.
Kim Seokjin
That’s good. It’s good to have eaten. If you eat well, your hands will recover. Don’t worry, your dad has already contacted the best surgeon for you.
Seokjin knew Mo Shiyun. She was the daughter of Aunt Mo who was a servant of his household.
Aunt Mo was a pitiful person. Her husband had passed away and she had to take care of her child by herself. Due to this reason, she had pleaded for her child to live with her as she served the Kim family.
Seokjin hadn’t refused. Aunt Mo was incredibly diligent with her work. An additional child only meant one extra mouth to feed. And a child didn’t eat a lot in the first place. The Kim family did not lack that amount of money.
Mo Shiyun and Yeonjun were of similar age and they got along well.
The quarrel between Yeonjun and Taehyung this time was due to Mo Shiyun. However, Seokjin knew that he couldn’t blame Mo Shiyun, as it was his son who was too petty. Regardless of how much his brother loved him, it is impossible for Yeonjun to not have any other friends.
Yeonjun suddenly spoke, his voice low and lifeless.
Kim Yeonjun
Don’t lie to me. The nerves in my hands are broken. There is no way that it will become better. I will never be able to play music again! I’ll just be a handicapped person!
Kim Seokjin
Don’t say that... Yeonjun... Mummy knows that you feel awful... It’s mummy’s fault...
Seokjin cried as he apologized to his son.
Kim Yeonjun
Why are you apologizing? Shouldn’t you get him to come to apologize to me?! He should compensate by one of his hands! Then I won’t argue with him anymore!
Kim Seokjin
Yeonjun, he’s your younger brother... And he’s still a child, I... I...
Seokjin didn’t know what to do anymore.
When Namjoon saw his wife crying silently, he quickly told him to stop.
Kim Namjoon
Yeonjun, don’t force your mother!
Kim Yeonjun
Yes, I’m forcing him! I’m the one who is forcing him. You all only know to protect Taehyung. Only he is your child. And I’m not!
Yeonjun was furious. He usually would never be mad if they had spoiled his younger brother a bit more. However, now he had lost both his hands. His emotions had completely fallen apart.
Bo-gum promptly prevented the argument from furthering.
Kim Bo-gum
Yeonjun, although mother and father are in the wrong. However, if you ask our mother and father to go and break Taehyung’s hands, that’s not realistic either. You need to calm down. Everyone is trying to think of ways to help your hands. And they will give Taehyung the punishment he deserves. Brother promises you.
Bo-gum’s words made Yeonjun calm down quite a bit. He still listened to his elder brother quite a bit and he knew he couldn’t break his younger brother’s hands.
Even if his younger brother’s hands were broken, his hands wouldn’t get better.
At the door of the ward, Taehyung watched everything in the room. His eyes fell on Yeonjun’s injured hand which was suspended by the frame.
There were many instruments nailed on his hands.
Taehyung knew from a glance that the nerves in Yeonjun’s hands were injured. If he wanted his hand to recover completely, then he had to perform a surgical repair on the nerves,
It was a very difficult operation and currently, there were not many surgeons who could do so.
Otherwise, the financial power of the Kim family would have arranged an operation for Yeonjun already.
In the original novel, Yeonjun’s hands never completely recovered. And thus, his entire pianist career had been cut off. Due to this, Yeonjun became incredibly depressed and his world became incredibly gloomy.
And because his parents continued to care about Taehyung, the relationship between Yeonjun and his parents became incredibly poor.
And in his gloomy world, the heroine Mo Shiyun became his only source of light.
Taehyung looked down on his own hands. He was able to do this type of surgery. He had the technology and had experience in countless operations.
When Taehyung was at the research institute, he had focused on drug research. However, at the same time, he achieved outstanding successes in many surgical operations and became highly recognized domestically.
At that time, Taehyung’s operations were even auctioned by the institute.
However, his hands could not perform such a sophisticated operation right now. He needed the correct technology and he needed to train his hands to not shake during the operation.
And that required a period of training.
C3: Are You Happy Now?
At this time, Bo-gum noticed Taehyung at the door of the ward. He got up and quickly walked to the door.
Kim Bo-gum is more than 1.8metres tall. The fifteen-year-old Taehyung in front of him appeared to be especially small. The top of Taehyung’s head just reached his chest.
Taehyung wore a simple white sweater. His face was white as well and he appeared to look like a fluffy little kitten. However, that was only his appearance. His heart was most likely all black.
Kim Bo-gum
Go in and apologize.
He spoke in a simple, yet commanding tone that demanded obedience.
Kim Taehyung
He will get angry.
Taehyung’s voice sounded soft and immature. He didn’t want his words to sound like that. However, this body was only fifteen years old.
At the same time, Taehyung’s speech was very slow. It was almost as though he spoke word by word. Yet, the reason for this was because he was too unfamiliar talking with relatives.
Kim Bo-gum
Now you know that he will get angry? Did you think about him getting angry before you did what you did? Getting angry is probably the least of it!
Kim Bo-gum said, his eyes red and his aura terrifying.
Kim Taehyung
No, I’m not scared of him being angry and blaming me.
Kim Taehyung
I just think that being angry will be bad for his hands.
Taehyung intended to cure his hands. However, he couldn’t wreck his hands further. If he were to wreck his hands further, Taehyung wouldn’t be able to help him.
Kim Bo-gum
When did you start stammering? Are you scared?
Taehyung’s natural voice coupled with his slow and stumbling way of speaking made Bo-gum mistaken that he was scared.
Taehyung didn’t explain. He wasn’t scared but rather, he wasn’t good at communicating with ‘family’. In his previous life, he met his parents once every year. And every time they met, they did not exchange more than ten sentences
Ever since he learned how to think, he had lived in the research institute. Most of his time was spent in the laboratory. He was familiar with work discussions and not everyday discussions.
Bo-gum coldly warned Taehyung.
Kim Bo-gum
I don’t care whether you are afraid or you are genuinely worried about Yeonjun’s emotions. In this matter, you must work hard to strive for his forgiveness. If Yeonjun doesn't forgive you, then I won’t forgive you either.
Bo-gum was someone who didn’t go back on his words. Since he said that, he would certainly follow through, even if Namjoon and Seokjin asked him not to.
Kim Bo-gum
Go apologize now.
Bo-gum said. He insisted that Taehyung should go and apologize to Yeonjun.
Kim Bo-gum
I’ll pay attention to his injured right hand.
Hearing this, Taehyung entered the ward.
As soon as Yeonjun saw Taehyung enter, he became incredibly angry. If it was not for Bo-gum who held him down, he would have jumped up already.
Kim Yeonjun
Kim Taehyung! Are you happy now?! I’m crippled! I won’t be able to play the piano for the rest of my life! My entire life is ruined! Are you happy now?!
Yeonjun yelled, his words filled with fury.
Taehyung didn’t run away. He stood there and accepted his anger.
Seeing Taehyung’s calm demeanor, Yeonjun’s anger did not lessen at all.
Losing his most important hands made Yeonjun’s heart become enveloped in a dark cloud.
His life, his pride, and his dreams were all ruined.
And the source of all this started from when Taehyung started arguing with him!
He was angry, he was sad and most importantly, he hated him!
Yeonjun violently picked up the lunch next to him with his less injured left hand and threw it at Taehyung’s head.
