New Vengeful Life - Taekook
The Account book that he needs
Before the horizontally erect screen in the room, stood a person, who was presently staring at him. In the depths of his eyes, there were some inexplicable emotions.
As he earnestly looked over, he noticed that the person was dressed in black and possessed exceptionally cold and distinct facial features. However, his appearance also seemed unexplainably familiar. Jungkook couldn't make out but he was definitely sure that he has seen in before some where.
He looked precisely like that youth dressed in black whom he had accidentally met that day at the temple while he was on his way back to the capital.
Yet, he had never imagined that today, he would meet him here once again. He was unsure if this was a blessing or a curse for him.
Jungkook cautiously looked at him, yet, the other person simply stared at his chest.
Jungkook began to feel slightly annoyed when he noticed the staire on his chest.
Jeon jungkook
Yaah. . . . Do you have no shame? Wae are you staring at my chest? ( turns a little hiding his chest)
black dressed guy
( looks into Kook's eyes and stays silent )
Jeon jungkook
Are you lost by any chance? Did you come for the gathering? ( looks concerned now )
Jeon jungkook
Are you also fooled by someone and sent here? ( takes a step towards the youth )
Jeon jungkook
Why is your face covered in mask and which household are you from? ( questions)
black dressed guy
( simply stares and stays silent )
Jeon jungkook
I will leave. Just do whatever you want. ( starts to walk out )
As Jungkook crosses the black dressed youth who stood froze in his spot, the youth grabbed Kook's right hand with his left and made him turn around harshly.
This made Jungkook turned around like a whoosh of wind and stumble. His hands automatically landed on the black dressed youth's chest and shoulder whose one hand was holding Jungkook by his waist and other gripped Kook's wrist.
Jeon jungkook
( eyes widen in surprise )
black dressed guy
Account Book. ( said in deep and raspy voice while staring at Kook's chest )
Jeon jungkook
Just leave me. Why are you holding me? Leave me. . . ( starts struggling to free himself from grip )
black dressed guy
( didnt even flinch and just looked at kook struggling )
The black dressed stood like a stone holding kook close to himself tightly who was struggling and squirming to be free.
Suddenly, the youth swiftly turned around and pinned jungkook to the book self near the wall. His masked face was close to JungKook's face. He stared deeply into Kook's eyes. Kook became shocked at first. But soon he got a hold of himself. He stopped struggling and glared at the youth.
Jeon jungkook
You want the account book?
black dressed guy
Yes ( whispered )
Jeon jungkook
I dont know where is the account book.
black dressed guy
Give it to me. ( deep voice )
Jeon jungkook
You. . . you dont think that. . . that i will be scared by that deep voice of yours. ( stutters )
Jeon jungkook
I dont know about any book. ( turned )
black dressed guy
Just give it and end it here.
Suddenly they heard some voice. . . .
Gaurd
Come out right now if you have love for your life.
Jeon jungkook
( eyes widened and gasped closing his mouth with his palm )
Jungkook squirmed a little and peeped from the youth's side profile to look out. His eyes widened in fear when he saw the gaurd standing infront. He squeaked a little and his his face in the youth's chest.
Gaurd
Didnt you hear what i said? Come out, NOW! ( loudly )
Gaurd
Who the hell are you? And what are you doing here? Show yourself... ( says harshly )
black dressed guy
( he blocked jungkook with his body and whistles )
Jeon jungkook
( raises his head up and looks at the youth )
Jeon jungkook
Are you crazy, dumbass? Wae are you whistling? ( grits his teeth and whsipers )
black dressed guy
Didn't you ask me to do something? I did. . . ( whispers back )
Jungkook raised his head again from the youth's chest and peeped to look at the gaurd. His eyes again widened in shock. But this time what caught his attention wasn't the gaurd. It was the man standing behind the gaurd.
The man behind was dressed in all black too. He was shining under the night lamp's light. He was having a poker cold face and he held a dagger that was shinning silver. He stood exactly behind the gaurd and was staring at the gaurd.
Gaurd
Yaah, you jerks. What are you discussing there? COME OUT! ( shouts )
Youth's man
( leans and whispers ) Your death. . .
Just then, the black dressed youth held JungKook's face and pulled him into his embrace. He hid JungKook's face in his chest and whispered near his ears. . . .
black dressed guy
Kids shouldn't watch violence.
Youth's man
( swiped the dagger and slit the guard's throat in one stroke )
There was pin drop silence for a moment in the room. No one spoke. It felt as if the walls will fall down and collapse if there was a slightest wave.
Youth's man
Your work is done....
black dressed guy
( smirked and again whispered near JungKook's ears) Not yet. . . .
Jeon jungkook
( slapped the youth's hard chest and pushed him away )
Jeon jungkook
Yaah! Wae are you hugging me? Leave my way. ( pushed him again to walk away )
black dressed guy
( held both his hands above his head and pinned him to the self again in a blink )
Youth's man
( turned his back towards both of them and kept a watch )
black dressed guy
Give me the book and you can go.
Jeon jungkook
How many times should i say i dont know what are you asking?
black dressed guy
Really? Then should I take it myself?
Jeon jungkook
( eyes widened )
Jeon jungkook
I will give it. leave me.
black dressed guy
( released him)
Taking the account book out from his clothes, he flung it far away in his direction. The youth dressed in black raised a hand to catch it and thoughtfully glanced at him. His expressions remained the same as before, cold and cheerless, which made one unable to decipher his emotions.
In his heart, Jungkook felt mixed emtions. Originally, he had merely intended to add a blockage to the Myung mansion and coincidentally, cause Hyun Bin to get into some trouble.
However, if it truly came down to it, with this sort of thing kept in his hands, it was just a hot potato. At present, with his immature wings, stepping forth into many matters would be inconvenient. Since this person wanted to deal with the Myung mansion too, then, why not grant him a favour. To be able to see the Myung households not have any good days in the future, he would still be happy to see that from a near distance.
The youth dressed in black was slender and graceful, and even while standing in the room, he seemed to add an ineffable layer of splendor to it. Yet, unexplainably, his handsome and bold facial features seemed to have an indescribable air of nobility.
Drooping his head in ponderment, Jungkook wondered. He was unsure of what sort of status this person had, yet innate elegance emanated from his head to his toes, making his identity really mysterious. Still, it was great that he did not have that murderous air he had had that night.
In addition, it appeared that he did not have any ill intentions towards him, thus this was actually the merciful silver lining among all his misfortunes thus far.
In any case, to have met him twice in these sort of circumstances, he could actually be considered as an acquaintance of him then. Only, to appear whenever he was doing something ill-intentioned, he did not know what kind of fate this was.
Seeing that the account book had already fallen into the other person’s hands, it was not beneficial for Jungkook to remain here any longer. He then prepared to leave while the other party remained unmoved and silently stood on the spot. Jungkook suddenly remarked before he pushed open the door. . . .
Jeon jungkook
On the beam of the firewood storage room behind the Myung mansion's inner courtyard kitchen. . . .
Jeon jungkook
under the locust tree of Myung Si Ju's backyard. . . . under the rock garden beside the mansion's garden pond. . . .
Jeon jungkook
all these places contain good things.
Jeon jungkook
Below the wooden floorboard under Assistant Minister Myung's bed in the study, there is a hidden passage.
Jeon jungkook
There are many valuable things inside; I hope that this will be of assistance to your distinguished self, you flirt.
The expression on the black-clad youth’s face faltered, however, Jungkook had already unhurriedly pushed the door open and left.
Youth's man
His words cannot be trusted master.
black dressed guy
The legitimate son of the Jeon household. ( smirks )
black dressed guy
Investigate thoroughly. ( stated coldly to his man and walked out )
After Jungkook had left the room, only then did he take a deep breath as he relaxed. The identity of the person inside the room was overly dangerous.
Although he did not truly know what kind of person he was, with his many years of experience in his past life being immersed in the palace, he knew that a person’s identity could be concealed but their magnificent mannerisms would remain unquestionable.
For instance, even after his rebirth, all the maids and others around him would remark that he seemed like a noble man that came from the palace.
But, that was merely a habit, a learned behaviour cultivated from his past life. That individual in the room certainly must have lived like a prince, since from the depths of his bones, he revealed an inherent gracefulness. If he had not presumed wrongly, he should be a member of the royal family.
The enemy of his enemy would be his friend. Since that person wanted to deal with the Myungs, afterwards, he would deal with Jeon Jung Hoon too. Whatever the case was, everything that would fall upon them would be something he favourably looked upon.
He then moved forward smoothly on his path as he returned without a hitch to the banquet hall. Myung Ji Lin could not help but be alarmed once she saw Jungkook .
Myung Ji Lin
How come you are back?
Jeon Sui
Why did hyung come back alone, what about Hyun Bin? ( shocked and baffled )
Jeon jungkook
Brother urgently needed to go to the rest room, so he had me wait first. ( smiled )
Jeon jungkook
However, I was waiting for a long time and by some fortunate coincidence, I bumped into a young maid who then brought me back here first.
Myung Ji Lin
A young maid? ( asked hastily )
Myung Ji Lin
Which young maid, what was her name? Perhaps you are trying to frame me?
Jeon jungkook
If she isn’t a young maid from your residence, then how could I return back here, perfectly fine on my first visit to the Myung mansion?
Jeon jungkook
Moreover, I am unfamiliar with the grounds here.
Jeon Sui
Tha. . . that's true. ( sat down back in her seat with a thump )
Jeon jungkook
However, I forgot to ask that young maid’s name, I only know that she looked lovely and clever. After she sent me ahead, she left. ( smiled )
The Myung mansion was so big, it was indeed impossible to locate a little unnamed servant girl. JungKook's statement was not without reason, but it irked Myung Ji lin and left her at a loss for words.
She quietly cursed Kang Hyun Bin then glared at Jungkook and sat down uncomfortably.
Jeon Sui continued smiling unperturbed as she held her tea cup and sipped from it slowly. Her eyes quietly followed Jungkook , whose expression had not flickered even for an instant.
Jeon Sui's heart lurched and she began to feel a general sense of unease. She could only pretend to be unaffected as she chatted gaily with the other young people around her.
After a while, Kang Hyun Bin and the maid walked over to JungKook's side. Hyun Bin's face clearly showed his fury as he stood right in front of Jungkook and asked angrily. . . .
Kang Hyun Bin
How did you manage to come back first?
Jung Hoseok could not tolerate the scene before him any longer. Without waiting for Jungkook to reply, he said with contempt. . . .
Jung Ho-seok
Whatever the situation is right now, Jeon households is the great household of a government official. How can there be no sense of social standing, where the concubine's son dares to treat the legitimate son with such flagrant disrespect?
His words were not spoken in a soft tone, so the people from official’s families in the vicinity each turned to look at them.
Jeon jungkook
It’s nothing hoseok hyung. We brothers do not observe that many social conventions, Hyun Bin-ah is just a little anxious, that’s all.
Jung Ho-seok
If this were to occur in my mansion , that person would have been thoroughly disciplined.
Jeon jungkook
( smiled faintly )
Jeon Sui
Jung Hoseok ssi.. please don't consider things on your own. Hyung has just returned from thr village. He is unaware of the things here on the capital and the manors these days. It's just that we siblings become worried for him.
Jung Ho-seok
What a fake person! ( said hastily)
Jung Ho-seok
You don't need to mention it everytime that young master Jeon has returned from village.
Jung Ho-seok
His behavior and self presenting is very much similar to someone noble.
Jung Ho-seok
So stop all these and let us enjoy the eve. ( turns his face away)
Jeon Sui
( stiffened for sometime and then sat back silently )
Jeon jungkook
( looked at Hoseok and smiled lightly raising the tea cup )
Baek Zhang standing behind Jungkook , almost could not keep the smile from his face. Jung Hoseok was indeed amazing. In such a place, among such people, he dared to take Jeon Sui down a notch so brazenly.
Hyun bin huffed angrily. Naturally, he had not met the little servant girl that Jungkook spoke of. However, it also seemed improbable that Jungkook was lying, as it was his first time at the Myung mansion , and there was no way he could have retraced his steps so easily.
Jungkook remained silent, and still smiling, sat again at the side. As the onlookers observed his conduct, their previous speculation was confirmed right then.
After his return, he had failed to gain favour to the extent that even a concubine's son would engage him in such a provocative and retaliatory manner. In all likelihood, he probably found the day-to-day life in the mansion quite challenging, which in turn had honed his capability to be tolerant to such an exceptional degree.
The day passed very quickly. Xia Yan brought the young children from the Jeon mansion with her to make their farewells before returning to Jeon mansion . Once back, the first thing she did was to report the day’s events to the Old Jeon Madame.
The Old Jeon Madame’s expression changed minutely. For a young boy to be too beautiful was not a good thing. It would be all right if he were like Jeon Sui refined and elegant, but for Jungkook to be so vibrantly attractive could actually be a calamity rather than a blessing.
The days passed like the water of a swiftly flowing river. Hyun Bin maintained his previously bossy and domineering demeanour. Thus, from time to time, he would utter a few provocative words, but Jungkook simply ignored him.
However, there was a subtle shift in Jeon Sui and her mother’s attitude towards him. he did not know if it was because, at present, he viewed people differently, or if Suiand her mother had become unsettled and were unable to maintain their usual calm demeanour.
On several occasions, their words to him had a retaliatory, ‘tit-for-tat’ undertone.
Then, in the blink of an eye, it was time for Jeon Jung Hoon and Jeon Dong Ah to return to the Jeon mansion.
Initially, Jung Hoon had mentioned that he would be home a few days earlier. However, some complicated situations had occurred, which meant that as a result his return had been postponed until that day.
Xia Yan was naturally extremely happy. She had already given orders for everything to be tidied up and to begin various preparations, only saying that they should have a lively reunion dinner.
It could only be said that Jung Hoon must truly love Xia Yan, and so, he correspondingly lavished much affection on their beloved daughter, which led Jeon Dong Ah to behave in a similar fashion. On the other hand, he had never paid attention to Jungkook or Namjoon.
He had never beaten or scolded them, but had never treated them with warmth either, to the extent that they seemed like two insignificant outsiders. Junghoon didn't even knew for initial some days that Jungkook was born. Even if Namjoon was the eldest son of the family, he disregarded him like a wooden doll in the store room. Jungkook never had a problem with Junghoon treating Jeon Sui and Jeon Dong-ah lovingly. He just couldn't get out the image of his own little self hiding behind the pillar, abandoned and seeking for affection of his father.
Lost in thought, Jungkook forgot all about the tea he held in his hand, and spilled some in carelessness. Nam Seok, who was sitting beside him, hurriedly called out. . .
Nam Seok
Master, be careful.
Jeon jungkook
has father returned? ( asks bit seriously )
Shi Zhang
He has just reached home and is currently talking to Old Madame. ( walked in as he spoke )
Shi Zhang
However, his expression was not good. It looks like something is not going well. ( spoke slowly )
Baek ( yeonjun)
I has just gone to the front to make some inquiries, and I know why head Master is unhappy.
Baek ( yeonjun)
I heard that he quarrelled with Assistant Minister Myung for some reason; Assistant Minister Myung was exceptionally angry, and Master was also terribly enraged.
Nam Seok
Weren't they in too good terms? ( exclaimed shocked )
Jeon jungkook
Continue. ( to baek Zhang )
Baek ( yeonjun)
The strange thing is, despite this quarrel, Miss Myung deliberately and of her own accord wrote out an invitation for Third master, Kang Hyun Bin to visit Myung mansion .
Baek ( yeonjun)
However, Master is roaring furious. Not only does he refuse to allow him to visit, he even forbids him to leave the mansion .
Shi Zhang
What’s the meaning of all this?
Shi Zhang
That day, you said Third master and Miss Myung did not seem to be on very good terms.
Shi Zhang
Why didn’t she invite Second Miss? Why only invite Third master?
Baek ( yeonjun)
The servants are all spreading rumours about how the Myung households has lost something, and suspicion has fallen on the head of Third master .
Nam Seok
If they are really suspicious of Third master, it’s no wonder that Master is so furious. If he did go, wouldn’t it be the same as slapping ourselves in the face and admitting that we had stolen whatever it is?
Shi Zhang
But, why did the Myung mansion employ the method of asking Miss Myung to invite Third master to the mansion? What would they have been able to find out?
Shi Zhang
Even though the servants view Third master as being ordinarily quite domineering, they would not take advantage of this situation for personal gain. There’s something really fishy about all this.
Nam Seok
Besides, Master and Myung's head have such a deep relationship, it is highly unlikely that they would quarrel to this extent over a mere possession. What on earth did the Myung households lose?
What did they lose? Jungkook smiled faintly, and unhurriedly lifted his teacup to take a sip of tea.
That the Myung mansion was making such a big fuss more or less revealed that Assistant Minister Myung had discovered the fact that his account book was missing.
In the midst of their visit, only Hyun Bin had left the gathering area, and it would be difficult not to suspect him. However, Hyun Bin had no reason to run off by himself to steal the account book , so it must have been Jeon Jung hoon's idea. Thus, it was entirely reasonable for Assistant Minister Myung to have entertained this train of thought.
The relationship between the Myungs and the Jeons involved a whole slew of mutual benefits and unclear interests.
If Jeon Jung Hoon had gotten hold of information which could be used against Assistant Minister Myung , it would mean that Assistant Minister Myung would have to humble himself before Jung Hoon from now onwards.
However, this deferential attitude would never be authentic, and thus it was no wonder that Assistant Minister Myung wanted to embarrass Jung Hoon.
Jeon jungkook
Since Father and Second Brother have already returned, we should visit them without delay, otherwise people will say we have no understanding of etiquette and are unfilial. Let’s go. ( stood up patting his clothes )
Jeon jungkook
The Father and Second Brother whom I have not seen for five years – I wonder what they look like now.
