Usually, in Seoul City, People’s Avenue was the most crowded road. However, the road was surprisingly quiet today. Not even a car could be spotted. This was abnormal. Any prosperous city should not have a road void of cars at eight in the morning.

At 8:50 pm, on the wide and flat People’s Avenue, a black Bugatti Veyron sports car suddenly appeared. The front of the car sported a red and shiny “Eternal Love” wedding invitation. Behind the Bugatti was a long row of luxury sports cars, the first few being eight red Pagani sports cars.

The Pagani cars were followed by dozens of bright-colored sports cars.

People standing on both sides of the road turned their heads to look at the sports car in the middle of the road. All kinds of gazes appeared in their eyes.

Some of them became envious and jealous; some even cursed. However, all of them continued staring at those cars, afraid that they would miss a glance. After all, such an exaggerated show of extravagance was rarely seen in decades.

Everyone knew that today was the wedding day of the Jeon family’s second son, Alpha Jeon Jiho, and the Kim family’s second daughter, Omega Kim Taehyung. Due to this event, under the arrangement of the rich and overbearing Jeon family, Seoul City had cleared an entire road to limit traffic.

The Jeon family was one of the three wealthiest families in Seoul City. Their business involved all aspects, be it culture, internet, or finance.

On the other hand, the Kim family was a renowned jewelry family, both domestically and internationally. The top luxury jewelry brand “Crown for Love,” which had been handed down for hundreds of years, was the Kim family’s business.

A marriage between two such noble families was naturally eye-catching.

Nearly a hundred top sports cars, led by a Bugatti, slowly drove along People’s Avenue. The cars drove past Seoul City’s municipal building and the financial avenue that was famous all over the world. Finally, the cars stopped at the entrance of Seoul City’s most famous Empire Hotel.

A hundred-foot-long red carpet stretched from the hotel lobby to the road.

From the Bugatti sports car, a young man stepped out.

His sideburns were neatly trimmed, and his slightly fluffy black hair was combed all the way to the back of his head. A pair of thick black eyebrows hung below his clean forehead, and two ink-like black eyes were embedded on his handsome and flamboyant face. His eye sockets were deep, and his nose was high. Amongst all his perfection, his thin lips were slightly pursed.

This man had a handsome face that could only exist in drawings. Although the expression on his face was faint, due to his wine-red, high-end gown, people felt that he was in a good mood. Jeon Jiho was indeed in a good mood. After all, he was finally going to marry his lover, Kim Taehyung.

The passersby stopped and curiously watched as the handsome man walked to the right of the sports car and took the hand of his bride.

The bride was like a beautiful red rose, tall and elegant.

She was dressed in a luxurious embroidered wedding dress. The long lacy skirt swayed on the red carpet as the bride walked. The young omega was extremely beautiful, and her black hair was tied up high. This way, she could perfectly show the light purple earrings on her earlobes and the dark purple pear-shaped diamond necklace around her neck.

(*here male omegas if wanted they can leave their hair long and can also dress like females/female omegas)

This purple necklace was the most famous masterpiece in the history of “Crown for Love.” It was the proud masterpiece of Kim Min Joon, the founder of “Crown for Love.” If one got married while wearing this necklace, the marriage would be boundlessly glorious.

As Jeon Jiho and the bride entered the Empire Hotel, rows of beautiful and handsome people walked behind them.

This scene satisfied the eyes of the passersby.

The wedding was being held on the outdoor lawn of the Empire Hotel. As she stood in front of the priest, the bride’s cheeks flushed with shyness. At that moment, her beauty was restrained. She was not as flamboyant as a rose, but more like a pink rose, delicate and lovely.

“Mr. Jeon Jiho, will you marry Miss Kim Taehyung and acknowledge her as your lawful wife? Will you be loyal to her, respect her, and stay by her side forever?”

Jeon Jiho looked at the omega he loved with tenderness in his eyes. Without any hesitation, he clearly replied in a slightly cold voice, “I will.”

The bride, Kim Taehyung, lifted his head a little and looked up at the man he deeply loved. His beautiful brown eyes rippled with excitement and love, and his hands that were holding the flowers suddenly tightened. Finally, he was going to marry him, the man he had loved for six years.

***

It was a small, damp, and dilapidated house. The house didn’t even have a bed or a sofa, but it did have a toilet and a small television mounted on a wall.

A dirty curtain hung by the window. The window was nailed shut, but the curtain slightly trembled. It was not because of the wind, but rather due to an omega who was sitting under the curtain with his arms wrapped around his knees. If one looked closely, they would see that there was an iron chain on the omega’s right hand and right leg. The chain was about three to four meters long, which allowed him to go to the toilet to solve his physiological problem, but not reach the door.

The omega was wearing a dress of indistinguishable color, and bruises could be seen on his legs.

His chin weakly rested on his knees. He raised his head, revealing his thin, yellow face and red eyes that were filled with despair. As he looked at the sacred scene on the television, tears welled up in his eyes. He watched as the handsome and noble man on the television said “I will” in front of everyone.

“Miss Kim Taehyung, will you marry Mr. Jeon Jiho and acknowledge him as your lawful husband? Will you love him, respect him, and never leave him?”

At the priest’s words, tears fell from the omega’s eyes, rolling down his sallow, thin face into his neck.

On the television, the beautiful Kim Taehyung excitedly said, “I will.”

At the same time, the chained omega opened his mouth. His lips parted twice. If you could read lips, you could tell that what he said was also—

“I will.”

***

He watched the sun rise and the moon come out. Day after day, the face grew thinner and thinner; the body that should have been sexy and hot became skin and bones.

Gradually, the hope and anticipation in his eyes turned into despair.

After a long time, the door to the tightly locked house finally opened.

Hearing the unlock sound, the omega curled up on the floor weakly opened his eyes. The moonlight shone on the room, and the omega could tell that it was night. In his blurry vision, a beauty clad in a waist-length dress walked in amidst the moonlight. As the beauty got closer, the omega on the floor could tell that she was wearing a champagne-colored embroidered dress and was as beautiful as a pink rose.

This beauty was carrying a box; it was unknown what was inside. As she squatted down, her long fingers brushed away the long hair that fell on her face, revealing a face that could topple cities. This stunning beauty was the Second Young Mistress of the Jeon family, Kim Taehyung, who had just married into the Jeon family a few months ago!

Upon seeing this face, the omega lying on the ground subconsciously shrank back.

He was afraid of her!

“Tsk tsk!” The elegant beauty clicked her tongue. She stretched out her long fingers and hooked the chin of the woman on the ground. “My good brother, I haven’t seen you for half a year. Did you miss me?”

The omega on the ground did not speak, but his body trembled.

“Look at me. I forgot you’re a mute now. You can’t talk.”

‘Taehyung’ deliberately made a vexed expression. She pinched the omega’s chin and forced him to open his mouth. After smiling at the omega’s tongueless mouth, she let go in disdain.

“It’s 15th August today, our birthday. I’ve come to see you,” the beauty said.

The omega on the ground reacted very calmly.

Fifteenth August?

In other words, he had already been imprisoned for six months. In the past, he thought that time passed so quickly, but now, he felt it passed so slowly that living was a form of torture.

“Something good happened recently. I can’t wait to share it with you.” ‘Taehyung’ said to herself as she opened the box beside her. Inside it were two exquisite, small mooncakes. She opened the mooncakes and elegantly took them to the mouth of the omega beneath her.

When the omega on the ground did not open his mouth, the beautiful face of ‘Taehyung’ turned cold. She ordered, “If you don’t eat, I’ll break your teeth and make you incapable of eating for the rest of your life.”

The omega on the ground narrowed his eyes. He then opened his mouth and chewed on the bean paste-flavored mooncake with hatred.

In the past, the two of them would eat mooncakes together on the fifteenth day of the eighth month. It was not because the Mid-Autumn Festival was important, but because they were born on this day. Other people’s Mid-Autumn Festival was their birthday. Yes, they were siblings, and twins at that.

They looked the same and had the same height. Even their voices were identical. It was rare to see twins like them.

Seeing the omega eat the mooncake, 'Taehyung' smiled in satisfaction. After laughing, she suddenly said, “I’m pregnant.”

The omega’s chewing lips suddenly stopped moving.

‘Taehyung’ smiled as she observed the funny reaction of the disheveled omega on the ground. She then touched her stomach and gently said, “Kim Taehyung, I’m pregnant with Jeon Jiho’s child.”

This scene was very strange.

The omega called ‘Kim Taehyung’ shouted her name at the omega who looked like her.

No one knew that the original Kim Taehyung, who was supposed to marry Jeon Jiho, had long been imprisoned by his twin, Kim Taehee . Six months ago, the Kim siblings had been driving to a county-level city in Seoul City to play. However, they had encountered heavy rain on the road and lost control of the car. They had fallen into the river.

The surging river had swept away the twins. In the end, the police had found only one of them. They had asked the omega they had saved for her name. The omega had looked at Jeon Jiho, who had been running over, trembled, and said with a face full of fear, “My name is Kim Taehyung.”

Jeon Jiho had hugged ‘Kim Taehyung’ and had not doubted her words.

Kim Taehee and Kim Taehyung had been close since they were young. They almost had no secrets between the two of them. After Kim Taehyung met Jeon Jiho, he often told his twin about his relationship with Jeon Jiho. From her twin, Kim Taehee learned what a great man Jeon Jiho was.

Later on, Kim Taehee also met Jeom Jiho. He was a rather handsome man. Even though he was cold to many people, he was gentle to Taehyung. Taehee  saw how well Jiho treated Taehyung, and gradually, her thoughts became twisted.

Why would such a good man like Jeon Jiho fall in love with my twin?

I look exactly like him.

Taehee had secretly replaced her twin, and no one suspected her identity, not even Jeon Jiho. Three months later,  Kim Taehee occupied the nest and married Jeon Jiho as Kim Taehyung. Another three months later, Taehee got pregnant…

Everyone thought that Kim Taehee was dead, but they did not know that the Second Young Mistress, who had successfully married into the Jeon family, was in fact Kim Taehee. They thought that Kim Taehyung had married Jeon Jiho and was living a blissful life. Little did they know that the real Kim Taehyung was still alive, and the corpse that had been found was only a scapegoat arranged as per Kim Taehee’s arrangement.

Kim Taehee’s men had caught the real Kim Taehyung in the river downstream and imprisoned him in a damp house. They cut off is tongue, and he had become mute. He even had to helplessly watch as the alpha he loved married his twin, who had plotted against him.

When he heard Taehee say that she was pregnant, Taehyung spat out all the mooncakes in his mouth. He opened his mouth and silently cried for several hours.

Taehee could not help but gently smile as she watched Taehyung suffer a fate worse than death.

“My dear twin, you will be imprisoned here for the rest of your life. You will watch as Jiho and I happily live the rest of our lives. You will watch me give birth to children for him. But you, you’re destined to live in this twenty-square-meter house and never see the light of day again.”

The beauty had a bright smile on her face, but it was a chilling smile.

Kim taehyung remained imprisoned for years.

During this period, whenever Kim Taehee encountered something exciting, she would come over to the room to show it off. Whenever she quarreled with Jeon Jiho or encountered something unpleasant, she would come over to torture Taehyung.

Taehyung could neither live nor die. He could only stay in the house and wait to get insulted.

Time passed very quickly.Taehyung lost all his weight, and his once beautiful twin, Taehee, could not withstand the ravages of time as well. Wrinkles crawled up the corners of Taehee’s eyes. Every time she came to the house, she would put on exquisite makeup. Yet, Taehyung could still see the creases under her makeup.

Taehyung knew that he had also become old. Occasionally, when the moonlight shone on his face late at night, he would raise his hand and touch his face over and over again. He felt the deep creases. When he touched his cheekbones, there was no flesh on them.

He knew that he looked terrible.

***

On a certain day, the door opened and the omega walked in.

Now, Taehee was 46 years old.

She was wearing a gray sweater, and her hair was disheveled. The moment she stepped inside the room, she smiled at Taehyung. However, her smile was no longer as flamboyant as it used to be. Only bitterness and misery remained.

Taehyung’s eyes flashed. After being imprisoned for so many years, the pain had long washed away the love she had for Jiho back then.

Still, Taehyung’s heart trembled when he heard that Jeon Jiho was dead.

Taehee sat down beside Taehyung. She blankly stared at the sunlight and muttered to herself, “He’s dead. His expressionless blind brother killed him.”

Taehyung only listened. This was the first time she heard Taehee mention anyone other than Jiho and her child.

He vaguely remembered Jiho’s brother.  Although he had never seen him before, he knew that his name was Jeon Jungkook.

“Hehe…”  Taehee dejectedly laughed. She seemed to have aged by more than ten years. “Hehe… He’s dead. Taehyung , are you satisfied now?” When she could not hear Taehyung speak,  Taehee suddenly murmured, “My good brother, I can’t even remember your voice.”

Taehyung silently looked at Taehee with a calm expression.

Taehee continued, “I’m going to take my child overseas. If he stays in the  Jeon family, that crippled wolf, Jeon Jungkook, will sooner or later kill him.”  Taehee raised her hand and touched Taehyung’s dry and white hair. Due to malnutrition, Taehyung’s hair had already turned white. Taehee’s fingers passed through his hair. When her hand fell, several strands of white hair were left on her hand.

Staring at the white hair, Taehee was stunned.

“Taetae.”

Taehyung finally looked up when he heard an unfamiliar greeting he had not heard in a long time. However, Taehee did not say anything else and left just like that.

After that day, Taehyung never saw Taehee again. Taehyung originally thought that he would starve to death in this house. However, unexpectedly, the second day after his sister left, the nanny who had been responsible for delivering him meals sent him to a remote nursing home.

Of course, that nanny only left him outside the nursing home.

Taehyung was fortunate that the nursing home’s dean saved him. The dean was called Cha Eunwoo, and he was the last bit of warmth Taehyung met in this life.

Eunwoo accompanied him for twelve years. Their relationship was like that between lovers, but also like that between family. There was no love between them, but a bond stronger than love. When Taehyung died, Eunwoo had sat by his bed. He had held his slightly fleshy hand and softly said, “I don’t know your name, I don’t know where you came from, and I don’t know what you’ve suffered.

“But I hope that you will be happy in your next life. I hope that we can meet again in your next life. If I meet you, I will definitely protect you and won’t let you suffer again.

“The pain and suffering you experienced in this lifetime have already passed. Just let go of everything, and pass away in peace. Don’t worry about me.”

Let go of everything and pass away in peace?

When Taehyung closed his eyes, his mind only had one thought. He was unwilling to die just like that and let Taehee get away scot-free!

***

“Boss, full tank!”

…

“A total of 400 yuan.”

…

In a daze, Kim Taehyung heard a strange conversation.

He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt heavy. He couldn’t open them for a while.

Then, the sound of a steam whistle reached his ears. Taehyung felt his body sway. Someone pushed his shoulder, and a young and pleasant omega’s voice softly rang in his ear. “Taetae, are you still sleeping? We’ll reach Ulsan City in half an hour. It’s time to wake up.”

Taehyung didn’t find his eyelids so heavy anymore.

He opened his eyes. Since his head faced sideways, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw the beads of heavy rain on the glass window. The stunned Taehyung turned around and saw a beautiful face he would never forget even if he died.

That face was exactly the same as his. It was Kim Taehee’s face!

As he looked at taehee, who was only 23 years old, Taehyung’s mind went blank for a moment. He looked out of the window at the pitter-patter of the rain. In his mind, he repeatedly replayed the scenes of Taehee torturing him...
