This story? It’s like your group chat got drunk and started spilling secrets. 🍷📱
Contemporary college student Jeon Jungkook died suddenly from staying up late, and found himself transported into a world where several novels merged together, becoming the useless adopted son of the prestigious Han family.
The good news is that, apart from him, everyone else in the family is a big shot. Eldest Brother Han is a legendary figure in the business world, Second Brother Han is a top actor in the entertainment industry, and Third Brother Han is a skilled esports player and boss.
The bad news is, these big shots are all antagonists, and none of them have good endings.
Even worse news is that, upon waking up, he finds himself in the middle of a cheap romance involving Second Brother, who is oblivious to the fact that the child in his lover’s belly isn’t his seed at all!
Jeon Jungkook
{couldn’t help but scream inwardly}【 Aaaaaahhhh…seriously? This romance-idiot still doesn’t know the child in his lover’s belly isn’t his?! 】
All eyes in the family suddenly turn towards him. The second brother even stumbles.
The top-tier Han family adopted a young troublemaker some years ago.
Initially, nobody in the family paid him any mind. That is, until they could all hear Jungkook inner thoughts
Just as Uncle Han brings his down-and-out friend home.Jungkook inner voice:
Jeon Jungkook
【 Oh, so this is the little seductress trying to seduce Uncle Han, plotting to make Aunty Han and Uncle Han divorce, and wrecking the Han family? 】
Han Ji Hwan [Father}
{pupils dilate} !
That night, before Jungkook can subtly hint to Auntie Han , the little seductress is personally “thrown” out by uncle Han.
During breakfast at home, Eldest Brother Han takes a video call discussing crucial shipment matters with his assistant.
Jeon Jungkook
{perks up his ears, muttering to himself} 【Why do I vaguely remember a typhoon changing course to pass through this route in a few days? Big Brother’s business deal is definitely going down. 】
Han Namjoon (Big Brother)
“…”
He immediately changes the shipping route with his assistant. Sure enough, five days later, news came that the original route was hit by a typhoon.
Afterwards, Big Brother Han transfers five million into Jungkook account. Jungkook is astonished.
Han Namjoon (Big Brother)
{tries to remain composed,saying calmly} Take it, you’ve earned it.
Third Brother Han isn’t home often. After the league ends, he brings his newly recruited team members home for dinner.
Just as they enter the house, he stares keenly at his new teammates.
Third Brother Han is about to warn Jungkook against premature romance, when he hears Jungkook whispering in his mind:
Jeon Jungkook
【They’re handsome alright, but unfortunately, they’re moles sent by the rival team. 】
Han San{Third brother}
!!!
That night, Third Brother Han begins investigating and not only discovers that the new teammates are moles from the rival team, but also finds out that his most trusted assistant has been secretly gathering data on their team!
A week later, another ten million appeared in Jungkook account.
Jeon Jungkook
{holding the money happily} Third Brother, you’re more generous than Big Brother!
Just then, Eldest Brother Han passes by:
Han Namjoon (Big Brother)
“…”
As a supporting character in the novel, Jungkook biggest dream is to save up money and flee with his family of antagonists when they hit rock bottom
Little did he expect that all these villains in his family would not only avoid disaster but thrive in their careers, and he would end up soaring with them.

Chapter 1
???
Stop right there! If you dare step out of the house today, don’t bother coming back! I’ll pretend the Han family never had someone like you!
The threatening voice woke up Jungkook abruptly.
He opened his eyes and looked around at the people surrounding him in confusion, quickly regaining his composure.
Eighteen years ago, Jungkook had transmigrated into this world. Just moments ago, his memories had awakened.
Originally a college student, he had accidentally died from staying up reading novels for two days straight. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a world fused with multiple novels.
A flood of memories rushed into his mind, leaving him dizzy and overwhelmed. Before he could sort things out clearly, he had fallen asleep on the couch.
Before he could ponder further, a voice filled with indignation sounded from the door
??!!?
Is this threat the only trick you know, Dad? I…
Jungkook looked up and recognized the person in front of him—his second older brother, Han hyun Jin
Before Hyunjin could finish speaking, he was intercepted by a young man next to him, who spoke with a hint of grievance:
?🙄
It’s all my fault. Uncle and Aunt, please don’t blame Hyunjin. Hyunjin, don’t argue with Uncle and Aunt because of me… I… I’ll take care of myself.
Jungkook scrutinized the unfamiliar man again. He was wearing a loose, thin piece of clothing, and his handsome face still bore traces of dried tears. His eyes were red, and a conspicuous red teardrop-shaped mole at the corner of his eye made him look particularly pitiful and stoic.
In an instant, he understood the man’s identity
Jeon Jungkook
💭Isn’t this the main character of “After Running Away with the Ball, the Husband Regretted It”?
The red teardrop-shaped mole at the corner of his eye was described by the novel’s author from beginning to end, leaving a deep impression on Jungkook.
Jeon Jungkook
💭Su Rui was here, so…
His gaze slowly shifted to Hyunjin beside him, his pupils slightly dilated.
Jeon Jungkook
💭Could it be what I’m thinking?
Hyunjin couldn’t bear to see Su Rui’s tears the most. At this moment, seeing his beloved so aggrieved, he felt immensely heartbroken:
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
Su Rui, this has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to blame yourself. I originally didn’t want to get engaged to the Chi family.
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
It’s better to take this opportunity to break off the engagement.
Su Rui
How does it have nothing to do with me?
Su Rui’s eyes were red, his voice small and aggrieved, as he gently placed a hand on his lower abdomen.
Su Rui
If it weren’t for the baby inside me… how would you have gotten into such a fight with your family?
Hyunjin gaze fell on Su Rui’s abdomen, his eyes filled with even more pain. At the same time, he spoke with a determination:
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
So rui, don’t worry. I will take responsibility for you and the baby.
Hearing Hyunjin words, Mr.Han became even angrier, his chest heaving violently.
Mrs. Han also wore an expression of anger, but her good upbringing prevented her from saying anything harsh. She only looked away in exasperation and annoyance.
Han Namjoon, the eldest brother of the Han family, who had been sitting silently on the opposite sofa, finally spoke:
Han Namjoon (Big Brother)
Second Brother, breaking off the engagement with the Chi family is a minor issue, but are you really going to sever ties with the family over a man?
Several key words connected together, and in a flash of insight, Jungkook finally understood what was happening today!
The good news was, his current identity was that of an adopted son in the wealthy Han family, ensuring a lifetime free from worries about food and clothing.
The bad news was, the entire Han family were villains in the novel, each meeting a tragic end!
And the scene before him was precisely an important plot point in the novel “After Running Away with the Ball, the Husband Regretted It.
After Running Away with the Ball, the Husband Regretted It” is a popular chasing love story .
Such novels have clichéd and melodramatic plots, but they’re undeniably captivating!
After Running Away with the Ball, the Husband Regretted It” is no exception.
The plot first tortures the main character, then the Male lead, and finally ends with both characters suffering before achieving a happy ending together.
He initially read the novel just to pass the time, but he never expected that the deeply affectionate second male lead would become his convenient second brother.
The role of the second male lead, whether in movies or novels, is often defined by “deep affection.”
Hyunjin was naturally no exception.
At this moment, the plot had just developed to the point where the main character and the male lead were having a conflict and breaking up. The main character , Su Rui, having no other options, sought help from Hyunjin, who had been secretly in love with him since college.
And Hyunjin,true to his deeply affectionate nature, not only broke off his long-standing engagement with the Chi family for his white moonlight, but also quarreled with the Han family and even gave up his thriving acting career, all to stay with Su Rui.
But when has a deeply affectionate second male lead ever had a good ending in a novel?
After a series of mutual tortures, the main characters (MC and ML) ultimately ended up together. Not only did Su Rui not choose Hyunjin,but he and the male lead even schemed to ruin Hyunjin reputation to get rid of his “entanglement” as soon as possible.
The novel ended with the child being born, and the white moonlight couple, along with their child, were shopping at a supermarket, where they coincidentally ran into Hyunjin,who was there gutting fish.
Chapter 2
Thinking of the novel’s ending, Jungkook expression twisted for a moment, and he couldn’t help but complain inwardly:
Jeon Jungkook
【This novel’s ending is way too cruel!】
The abrupt voice startled the Han family members present.
Mrs. Han was the first to turn her head towards the source of the voice—Jungkook.
Jungkook was the child of her best friend. When Jungkook was five, his parents died in a car accident, and he was taken in by Mrs. Han who raised him as her own son.
Although Jungkook had come of age last month, he still had a childish nature.
At this moment, he was propping his chin with one hand and holding a phone with the other, his attractive brows furrowed. Clearly, he hadn’t listened to a word of their conversation, completely immersed in his own world.
Seeing this, Mrs.Han couldn’t help but feel a mix of exasperation and amusement. Her anger towards her second son also dissipated somewhat.
Hyunjin naturally heard Jungkook earlier words too, but he had no time to bother with what Jungkook was doing.
He had called Namjoon home today, hoping that Namjoon would speak up for him. But to his disappointment, not only did he not support him, he also firmly sided with their parents.
Now, he was even joining their parents in pressuring him.
All of Hyunjin remaining expectations for his family vanished. He looked back at Namjoon, his face full of disappointment:
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
Brother, it’s not that I want to abandon you, it’s that you’re abandoning me.
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
💭If it weren’t for Father and Mom constant pressure, would I think about leaving with Su Rui?
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
💭Didn’t I want to stay home with Su Rui? It was because Dad and Mom wouldn’t accept Su Rui…
Jeon Jungkook
【 Sigh, I said that love-brains don’t make sense. 】
The familiar voice sounded again.
This time, even Namjoon couldn’t help but glance at the young man on the sofa.
Jungkook was holding his phone, seemingly playing with it, but in reality, he was quickly jotting down the plot he knew in his notes. While listening to the gossip, he couldn’t help but complain inwardly:
Jeon Jungkook
【 I think the best solution now is to give Second Brother a love-brain removal surgery. Otherwise, if he really ends up gutting fish at the fish market later, and sees the white moonlight family of three coming, he might even offer to gut their fish for free】
Jeon Jungkook
【Oh, wait, gutting fish at the fish market is already free. Given Second Brother’s level of love-brain, he’d probably even pay for the fish and personally escort them out of the supermarket.】
Mr&Mrs. Han pupils constricted slightly.
Namjoon furrowed his brows even more.
From the beginning until now, Jungkook hadn’t spoken a word.
But the voice was undeniably Jungkook .
What exactly was going on?
After Hyunjin finished speaking, he had been waiting for Namjoon response.
But to his surprise, he didn’t get Namjoon reply; instead, he heard Jungkook complaint.
Hyunjin originally didn’t want to bother with Jungkook , but the complaint was so unpleasant that he finally couldn’t help but turn his head:
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
Jungkook, if you have nothing to do, go back to your room and read your books!
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
💭What white moonlight at the fish market, why would i go to the fish market to gut fish?
Jeon Jungkook
{paused his typing, looked up innocently, his face full of confusion}
Jeon Jungkook
【What? What happened?】
Jeon Jungkook
【 How did the war suddenly reach me? 】
Jeon Jungkook
【 I didn’t provoke Second Brother, why is he acting like a fire-breathing dragon, spewing fire everywhere? 】
Hyunjin thought to himself why he was being compared to a fire-breathing dragon and was about to speak when suddenly, in a flash of realization, he understood something
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
💭Just now, Jungkook… didn’t seem to speak at all, did he?
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
{eyes widened in shock}
On the other side, Mr & Mrs. Han, as well as Namjoon, were even more certain that Jungkook hadn’t spoken.
Han’s Family
💭Could it be that what we heard was Jungkook inner voice?
This bold conjecture startled all the Han family members present.
The entire Han residence suddenly fell into a strange silence.
The Han family’s silence didn’t last long, but it wasn’t short either.
This brief, bizarre atmosphere made Su Rui feel awkward and uncomfortable first, but there wasn’t a single person in this room he could afford to offend.
So, he could only look at Hyunjin with reddened eyes again:
Su Rui
Hyunjin maybe I should leave first?
Hyunjin snapped back to reality upon hearing Su Rui’s words. Seeing the tear stains at the corner of Su Rui’s eyes, he was about to comfort him when an untimely voice chimed in
Jeon Jungkook
【Look! As expected of a pure, weak, innocent white lotus shou, he’s got the perfect mix of three parts fragility and seven parts grievance, his acting is really good!】
The emotion Hyunjin had just mustered up instantly fell back down, and he almost couldn’t maintain the expression on his face. He turned his head and glared at Jungkook with irritation.
Jungkook happened to be looking down and typing, missing Hyunjin glare.
Su Rui, not receiving Hyunjin response and comfort, felt his original bit of grievance magnify, making it hard to bear as he turned around awkwardly:
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
Su Rui! {immediately snapped back} Wait for me…
Han Namjoon (Big Brother)
Hyunjin!! {shouted sternly}
Hyunjin steps halted, and without turning his head, he said:
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
Brother, you don’t need to persuade me, I’ve already made up my mind. Since you can’t accept Su Rui and our child, there’s no need for me to stay at home!
After saying this, Hyunjin lifted his foot to chase after him.
Jungkook couldn’t hold back his sharp outburst any longer
Jeon Jungkook
【Ahhhh—no way, no way, does my love-brain Second Brother still not know that the child in his white moonlight’s belly isn’t his?!】
Jeon Jungkook
【That’s the Male Lead He Shi child, when did it become his?!】
Han Hyunjin [Second Brother]
{stumbled With a loud thud, he fell to the ground}
Jungkook , startled by the sound, widened his eyes in confusion.
Jeon Jungkook
【How did Second Brother fall flat on the ground while walking properly?】
Mr. Han, Mrs. Han, Namjoon: “…”
Wasn’t it because you scared him?
