New Vengeful Life - Taekook
Advancing like a predator
Everyone was silent. The eyes looking at Jeon Sui had, in an instant, become pregnant with meaning.
Jungkook lowered his head slightly. See, no matter how much time passed, the ways of this world and that of the past were exactly the same: rumour and suspicion. . .malice and slander. It’s just that, this time, the person experiencing it is Jeon Sui herself.
Jeon Sui
What did you say? ( shocked )
Jeon Sui
Who has had a secret affair with another? ( voice raised )
Jeon Sui
What are saying? How can you such a thing against me ?
Jeon Sui
Why do you want to ruin my innocence? I will ask my father to investigate this carefully and put you in prison! ( shouted fiercely at Yoon su )
Yoon Su
You clearly did not say so at that time. Were all those promises in the past false?
Yoon Su
You are abandoning me like this. Will I, Yoon Su, be discarded because you say so?
Sui felt a vicious hatred toward Jungkook when she heard the youth’s reply. Naturally, she knew the matter of Yoon Su. But how could she be the one falling into the water? Jungkook was the person that Yoon su should be dealing with. At the moment, she was at a loss as to what to say in order to justify herself.
Jeon jungkook
Young Master Yoon and Sui, this is not at all the time for disputes. The wind is cold right now.
Jeon jungkook
Why doesn’t Young Master Yoon come to visit the Jeon mansion some other day? Jeon mansion will definitely give you an explanation.
Jeon Sui
I haven’t done anything like that at all. It’s him who is slandering me!
She knew that if the matter was handled as Jungkook said, even though it might be calm at the moment, it would be seen as a tacit agreement of the affair. Tomorrow, there would be numerous rumors circulating in the capital, and it would be too late.
Commander prince
Human testimony and material evidence all exist. ( sneered )
Commander prince
I wonder why you are refusing to admit it and still want to save face?
Random noble man
I didn’t expect that she could be such a person.
Random noble man
She usually looks like a fairy. It’s beyond my expectation that she’d do such a dirty thing.
Commander prince
It’s ridiculous that she wants to continue denying it, even though the love token is in front of us.
Commander prince
Still very young, yet does not know how to cherish her good name. She’s offending public morals!
Yoon Su
I demand an explanation for today’s humiliation.
Just then, everyone heard a cold voice on the festive boat. That voice not only made everyone thrilled but shocked too.
Kim Taehyung
The green jade bead was a gift from me to Jeon Second Young Lady. I don’t know what it has to do with you.
Jungkook was stunned, only to see the handsome young man in black, brilliant as brocade, standing with hands behind his back with a cold look. That pair of eyes were like cold stars, sweeping around lightly, making people feel great pressure.
At once, everyone’s eyes were focused on Kim and Sui. People were speculating. Did Haneul-ui meoli and Jeom Sui have some kind of relationship? Otherwise, why would Haneul-ui Kim who had always been cold, help her out of trouble for no reason?
Jungkook looked at Kim Taehyung in a trance. His heart churned. It was difficult for him to calm down. He had never heard of any relationship between Kim Taehyung and Jeon Sui in his past life. Kim wasn’t a man who had tender, protective feelings towards any gender. How could he help Jeon Sui today?
Feeling a piercing, bone-chilling gaze on his body, Kim Taehyung looked up. He couldn’t help but feel a bit startled. Under the moonlight, he saw the boy in red on the opposite looking at him coldly. His eyes were full of hatred.
Jeon jungkook
So it is you who is lying. . . . ( said to Yoon Su )
Jeon jungkook
where did Miss Jeon's handkerchief come from? ( asks sternly )
Yoon Su
Everything I said is true. Even if it’s an influential and noble person, they cannot use power and influence to bully others. The handkerchief was something that Sui gave to me; she personally gave it to me as a token of love!
Jeon Sui
Yaah! you liar. . . How dare you?
Jeon Sui
Its not you who gave this to me. Its him, the noble. Isnt it? Ha. . Haneul-ui mmm.. meoli? ( blushed as she asked )
Jeon jungkook
However, because this concerns my family's reputation it cannot end just like this. Master Yoon, perhaps you should explain this matter clearly to the patrol guards.
Yoon Su, seeing the situation turn unfavourable immediately wanted to jump into the lake, planning to escape, but imperial bodyguards appeared from all four corners, subduing him.
Yoon Su had never thought that Xia Yan's master plan will fail this badly dragging her own dauhhter to shame and him to jail.
Sui immediately felt panic as she naturally understood what had happened with Yoon Su. If he landed in the patrol guards’ hands, Yoon Suwould expose the person behind the scenes. At that time, what could she and Xia Yan do?
Imperial bodyguards quickly dragged Yoon Su away. Tonight’s Lantern Festival was basically already ruined, with the unforeseen twists and turns on the boat. So, no one had an interest in continuing the festivities any longer.
The boat reached the shore and as Jungkook was bidding farewell to everyone. He gave a warm and tight hug to Hoseok. He had few merry words with other masters.
Kwang Bogum walked over to Jeon Sui. He put the coat in his hand over Jeon Sui's body and in a warm voice said. . .
Kwang Bogum
The weather’s turing cold and windy, take care not to catch a cold.
Jeon Sui
( clutched the coat and said blushing ) Thank you, Eight Prince.
Although Kwang bogum was talking to Jeon Sui, his gaze kept following Jungkook . He felt that Jungkook was not willing to look at him, that while his expression was clearly gentle, he could distinctly feel his indifference. This type of feeling made Bogum inexplicably unhappy. He was someone who loves attention. He always got his part of attention without seeking for it. But in case of Jungkook, its different.
After talking to Hoseok, Jungkook was walking away when he saw a black dressed heavenly handsome guy infront of him. Jungkook just took a glance and wished to walk past him.
As he was walking away, the youth in black whispered something that shook Jungkook.
Kim Taehyung
Buddisht temple. . . Beom suk village. ( whispred coldly )
Jeon jungkook
( eyes widened in shock )
Jeon jungkook
( he looked at the side face of kim )
Jeon jungkook
Wae so much interest?
Jeon jungkook
( asks expressionlessly )
Kim Taehyung
Its such a beautiful place. So calm, so pure, so holy. ( says as he turns to Jungkook )
Jeon jungkook
Indeed it is. ( smiled sarcastically )
Jeon jungkook
May be you should go their, Haneul-ui meoli.
Jeon jungkook
That place teaches pure, honest and true facts to one's soul.
Jeon jungkook
I think you need them so badly, Haneul Kim. ( mocks him )
Kim looked at him coolly, his expression still indifferent. Dressed in black, his figure was tall and sturdy. His aloof and noble aura very quickly attracted the surrounding people. Even if he was puzzled by his actions just now, at this moment, he couldn’t care less.
Jungkook felt stuffiness in his heart. He decided to give up and turned his back to him, no longer acknowledging him. However, he saw a young master dressed in blue walking towards him from another direction. Standing firmly at his side, he asked with hesitation. . .
He was Jae bum, son of an army General, commander Jae Rae San.
Jae Bum
Master Jeon, the sky is already dark. I’ll order a few imperial bodyguards to protect you on your way back to your mansion, is that good?
Jeon jungkook
Many thanks. . . but
Jae Bum
Its okay. . . it's for your safety. They will leave you till your mansion and return.
Jeon jungkook
It will be impolite if i reject, noble sir. Thank you so much.
His action made Kim Taehyung and Kwang bogum , who both still stood there, seem dazed. JungKook's attitude towards Young Master Jae was extremely gentle; in contrast, his attitude towards them was really not friendly.
Bogum not knowing why, had a peculiar feeling. It was as if something which originally belonged to him was being taken away by others. Kim's dark eyes only stared at Jungkook , his expression admiring and thoughtful.
Jeon jungkook
Ah. . . master Jae..
Jeon jungkook
There is something that I wanted to say to Young Master Jae. Actually… i have a request.
Jae Bum
If Master Jeon has any troubles, if there is any way to help, i would definitely spare no effort in aiding you.
Jeon jungkook
My eldest brother left the mansion to serve in the army five years ago, and since then, I have lost all contact with him.
Jeon jungkook
My mother met with an early demise and Eldest Brother is the only blood-related relative left in the world.
Jeon jungkook
All these years, I has always tried to ask about him but has still ended up empty-handed.
Jae Bum
Do not feel broken-hearted Master Jungkook , Heaven helps the worthy, your esteemed older brother would definitely be alright.
Jeon jungkook
I have heard that military officials, General Jae and General Bo, have an extremely good friendship between them.
Jeon jungkook
Five years ago, after my elder brother had joined the army, he happened to meet with General Jae and General Bo by chance while they were recruiting soldiers.
Jeon jungkook
Perhaps my elder brother is in General Jae or General Bo's camp. Since you are his son, could you lend a hand and make some inquiries for me about my elder brother?
Jae Bum
How could this be difficult? When I return, I will talk to Father about this matter. Please be at ease, Master Jeon.
Jae Bum
Once I hear some news about your esteemed older brother, I will get someone to inform you about it.
Jeon jungkook
Thank you so much for your kindness, Master Jae.
Jae Bum
Now, can we be considered as friends. . . Jungkook? ( he asked while he himself was flustered)
Jeon jungkook
Naturally ( smiles )
Bidding goodbye to him, Jungkook got into the carriage.... few people sitting in the carriage were all silent as it travelled all the way back to the Jeon Households entrance.
The winds of rumour swirling around the capital reached many places, but naturally, there were also places that could not be reached. For example, Seok jin in the Imperial Academy, had no clue about what had transpired the previous night. He had spent the past few days preparing for the preliminary rounds of the imperial examination that would take place in a few days’ time, and that person who never revealed his name was still in contact with him. Every day, he would place his reply on the table, and the other party would never take it, but another letter would appear. It was as if the person did not have to look at his reply to know what he would say. Today, there was another letter on the table, as was customary, but it did not discuss academic issues with him. Instead, there were only two characters: Good Luck. This was offering him best wishes for his success in the upcoming round of the imperial examination. Seok jin smiled, and kept the letter safely. He turned and walked out of his room. At this time, someone walked in through the door. . . it was Dong-ah........he entered the room with big strides and as he walked past Seok Jin, he bumped heavily into his table. Unexpectedly, the inkstand on Seok Jin's table flipped over and the ink fell on Seok Jin.Dong-ah turned back fiercely. A few drops of ink had also landed on his brocade jacket. He had already been raging silently, and now that the ink had stained his clothes, he did not wait for Seok Jin to speak but moved forward to grab and then yank him out of his seat.
Jeon Dong ah
What the hell do you think you are doing? You bloody beggar! (he grabbed Seok-jin's collar)
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
I didn't do it on purpose. it was you you dashed in. Still I will apologize. (he removed Dong-ah's hands from his neck )
Jeon Dong ah
You scoundrel! You think you're fcking apology can mend my clothes. I don't want your stupid apology. Don't even think of leaving this room before you don't lick it off clean. (he yelled angrily. The rumors of Jeon Sui and defaming Jeon Junghoon had been circulating like a fire all over. He felt like his fueled anger got a channel)
Right then, someone grabbed Dong-ah's have tightly and jerked it off Jin's collar. Dong-ah stumbled a little to turn and see Min yoongi standing there with a bored expression on his face.
Min Yoongi
Yah! what's wrong? why are you creating such a fuss over a silly thing?
Jeon Dong ah
It's none of your business, Min yoongi. So stay out of it. Don't meddle in. This beggar has humiliated me and am getting the compensation. Nothing to do with you.
Min Yoongi
( held Dong-ah's right wrist, twisted it and pushed him away slightly )
Jeon Dong ah
Yaah! You Yoongi. Don't think yourself too high. You cannot use that high status of yours here. I am not scared at all.
Min Yoongi
I haven't yet shown the power of my status, Dong-ah. Lets not bring it up cause once it comes up. . . I don't think you can stand here Let me give you an item of clothing in compensation, and you can stop making things difficult for Master Jin.
Seok jin eyed Yoongi, never having thought that he would speak on his behalf. Dong-ah was also astonished, but Yoongi's status was such that he could not freely act against him. Thus, even though he was still in a towering rage, he could not express it. He shook out his sleeves and snorted as he left the room with big strides, not once looking back.
Min Yoongi
Are you alright?
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
( looked up to Yoongi and walked to him with a smile) Yeah, I am fine. Thank you Master. I am sorry that you got troubled.n
Min Yoongi
Whom are you calling a young master hyung? you are elder to me and we all are students here. Call me Yoongi. ( he straightened Jin's collar as he talked and walked away with him )
Dong-ah rushed home to the Jeon mansion in a fit of rage and charged towards Xia Yan's residence. He was furious beyond level. He was cursing and thrashing the people who came in his way. This humiliation was because of Jeon Sui and he was beyond furious now.n
As he entered the room, he saw Jeon Sui lying in Xia Yan’s arms sobbing unceasingly as Xia Yan attentively comforted her.
Jeon Dong ah
What are you crying about? You have done something like this, making it impossible for me to hold my head up in the Imperial Academy, and all you can do now is cry?
Jeon Sui
Why are you being so fierce towards me? Is it possible that I would be happy? Right now, my reputation is in ruins. Second Brother, you’re not consoling me, and even heaping criticism on me.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Enough. Dong-ah , what’s wrong with you? Sui, you are the younger sister, how can you speak to him this way? Yoon Su clearly said no such thing while in prison. Someone must have deliberately spread the rumours to sully my Sui's reputation. ( grits her teeth )
Jeon Dong ah
Who could have done this? ( asked angrily )
Jeon Sui
Who else could it be? Apart from that ****, Jungkook , who else would do this?
Jeon Dong ah
How on earth would he be capable of doing something as big as this?
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
You are simply underestimating him!That business with the handkerchief was also very queer. Whether or not he was involved, Jungkook cannot be allowed to stay. It was clearly supposed to be Jungkook falling into the river, how did it become Sui?
Jeon Sui
Eomma, you must avenge me. ( cried and hugged her eomma ) He must fall completely from grace and be utterly ruined.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
I have already told your father about this situation; I only said that you fell into the water, but that there was something strange about the whole situation. In the next few days, you should work hard to gain your father’s favour. I have a thousand ways to destroy this ****.As for Haneul-ui meoli , you should compose a message within the next few days, saying you would like to visit him at his mansion to express your gratitude for his help. Then we can find out what his intentions are.
The next day the imperial examination was held with the palace in the presence of the royal court officials and the emperor. The emperor himself had asked few questions to the candidates. And very astonishingly, the questions were exactly same as those of the strange letter sender had asked in his letters to Seokjin. Jin was baffled beyond level and was very suspicious of who the secret helper was. These questions were this time personally selected by the emperor and none of the officials of Imperial academy or teachers knew about it. Even if Dong-ah and Junghoon had payed a hefty some of bribe to the imperial academy teachers, they were helpless. Nothing could be done unless Dong ah answered any of the questions asked. Seokjin and Min yoongi being the true knowledge bag knew the answers and answered wittyly to all the questions asked. Due to the discussions with the stranger he knew the detailed and perfect answer for it and he did answer gracefully. But jeon Dong-ah could not only amswe any one question and fail miserably but also ranked towards the last and Jeon Junghoon beyond furious for this.
Later, the winner was declared. Seokjin ranked the first, Min Yoongi the second and a Young Master named Seol-jwa third. The winners were rewarded handsomely by the emperor and were sponsored for their higher studies after which they would be given suitable position in the royal court. To celebrate the victory, the winners were made to ride decorated horses and a glorious lavish procession was done in the entire capital for them.
Where on one hand Seokjin who came from a minimal background was the capital topper and was being praised and loved everywhere, on the other hand Jeon Dong-ah got highly humiliated for his defeat and Junghoon refused to even see him as he was overly furious with him. Dong-ah didn't return home and was reported to be seen in various alchol shops all over capital.
Shi Zhang
Today, many servants in the mansion were saying that the top scorer is very good looking and extremely graceful and elegant, truly a man of talent.
Jeon Jungkook
Second Brother is probably feeling that the situation right now is intolerable, and will likely make his way to a tavern to drink.
Baek ( yeonjun)
I have heard the maids saying he hasn't return since then and has been spotted in many wine shops.
Baek ( yeonjun)
Yesterday, a new one opened in the east of the capital, and it is near the biggest brothel in the capital
Baek ( yeonjun)
.......Many say that there is the capital's most demanded and most expensive pretty boy who has more demand than any other lady or men in all brothels in capital, Bae Hyun Jin.
Baek ( yeonjun)
After few days, there will be the flowering ceremony of Bae Hyun jin, so the whole capital's young men are saving their gold.My people whom I have sent after Elder master Dong-ah say that he has boasted a lot to take the first night of Bae Hyun Jin.
Just then a slight slow whistle sound came from right corner of JungKook's residence. He asked Baek and Shi Zhang to look around while he followed the sound. Soon he reached a dark corner of his courtyard to discover a feminine shadow in the dark under the moonlight. It was Lalisa, his new fellow.
This girl was a abandoned sufferer here in the jeon manor. Her mother was one of the maids who had been Junghoon's bed partner when Xia Yan was pregnant. The maid got pregnant from Junghoon but was thrown in the manor's prison room. Usually the temporary bed partners are asked to take regular medication to not get pregnant while the wife of the house is pregnant, but maybe due to some mishap she got pregnant. Xia Yan being Xia Yan, could not bear another lady pregnant in the house. She had immediately got the maid locked up. Upon giving birth to Lalisa with much difficulty, her maid mother passed away and Lalisa had been thrown to die. But Bong Yumo took her under herself and raised her in this house. Days had been too torturous and tormenting for her under the Jeons. And the one making Lalisa's life most difficult was Dong-ah.
But once Jungkook came back, he helped her to elope out and also helped her recover. Since then, she has been living a different life outside the manor, making her own connections and working as a spy for Jungkook.
Jeon Jungkook
Lisa... ( he whispered )
Lalisa
Master, it’s done. I personally followed Young Master Dong-ah to the wine shop, and deliberately mentioned that Bae Hyunjin admires talented scholars the most. I think nothing will go wrong.I even have added this to his mind that Bae hyunjin only takes interests in wealthy aristocrats and gives attention to them only.
Jeon Jungkook
I got it. Thank you. Please return safely now.
Lalisa
( she bowed and covered her face as she took a last glance at Jungkook before escaping out )
The capital’s biggest brothel was a money-squandering establishment, it had already taken possession of silver from the children of many of the prosperous families. Bae Hyunjin was the main draw of capital brothel. On normal days, it was his skills but not his body on offer, and he had both natural talent and natural beauty. Today, as it was his deflowering ceremony, there would be many people hoping to fulfill their desire to be hid intimate guest. Bae Hyunjin had an addiction – he really liked talented scholars. If someone was particularly talented and received his direct favour, naturally, his luck with others was good. Dong-ah had failed the examination, and he had just witnessed the Jin, flushed with success. He was likely to be upset and indignant about the entire situation, finding it unbearable. Becoming Bae Hyunjin's intimate guest would probably be the only thing that would soothe his heart. While Bae Hyunjin said he liked talented scholars, in the end, he was still in the flesh trade. It was not unusual for him to earn thousands of pounds in gold a night, let alone this ‘first night’. Many young masters from upper class families were fighting for the opportunity to be the one, so how could Dong-ah stand out?
In his previous life, the right to participate in Bae Hyunjin's deflowering ceremony had been bought by Choi Taeyong, the eldest son of the capital’s powerful minister, Grand Councillor Choi Ran-Dong ( the same man who raped JungKook's son infront of him in the jail). Taeyong had bought the first night of Bae Hyunjin with 250 kg of gold. As a result, Bae Hyunjin enjoyed the fame, throughout the capital, of being its most expensive courtesan. In this life, he was not sure if Dong-ah had the resources to challenge Taeyong . This was the eldest son of the capital’s Grand Councillor Choi Ran-Dong . Ran-Dong had two sons in total, the eldest son, Taeyong , had neither talent nor knowledge. He went womanizing everyday, taking after Ran-Dong’s lustful nature. The younger son , on the contrary, was intelligent and gifted. At a young age, he was already accomplished in his path to being an official. Choi Ran-Dong . . . Jungkook smiled coldly, he would never forget how, in his previous life, his son had died under him. Choi Taeyong's appearance at this time marked a new beginning. The death knell had sounded; his vengeance was finally starting.
Many people had offered a large sum of money, wanting to capture the beauty’s heart and body, but regrettably, Hyunjin made a living through performances and not by selling his body. The magnificent Capital's brothel was located in the most prosperous Alley on West Street. The courtesans of Capital's brothel all had their own fortes, which compelled people to indulge in their pleasure and neglect their own families. To say they earned thousands every day was no exaggeration. Yet tonight, for the first time in the three years since he had entered capital's brothel, he offered to sell his body. At this moment, the capital's brothel was extremely crowded and the main hall with the beaded curtains was filled with several rich young masters from noble families. Everyone wanted to be Hyunjin's guest of honour.
A young master in green, seemingly in his early twenties, was sitting in the middle. His appearance was considered good-looking except for the bruise at the bottom of his eye which made people feel disgusted. He was Taeyong. Choi Taeyong.
Taeyong was quite assured because in the capital, in terms of riches and fortunes, the Choi family was second to none. His father Ran-Dong had also done this sort of bidding for a lady in a brothel. Money to them was a small matter, as long as they could own the beauty’s heart and body. However, he did not want any secrets or a wife whom he feared, nor was he scared that his father would find out. Perhaps his father, upon hearing about this, would want to come another day to experience that unrivaled beauty’s taste. Taeyong was pleased with himself. The people bidding were competitive at first, but gradually it slowed down because the price was no longer something that normal rich families could afford to pay. Hyunjin smiled brightly, watching the price gradually increase....
At the end, there were only two people still bidding. One of them was Taeyong's manservant and the other was a tall and muscular man..The tall and muscular man retreated to Jeon Dong-ah's side and in a low voice said - Young master, that fellow is clearly trying to provoke...Dong-ah indignance was hard to contain, originally he was determined to win Hyunjin no matter what, and although he was tipsy, deep down he still knew that four thousand and fifty gold was no small sum. He did not have so much silver at all... Right then, Lisa came out of the curtains dressed as a brothel girl and started caressing Dong-ah's face and talking to him seductively. Taking the chance she made him drink more and lured him into her false talks. She whispered near Dong-ah's ear in a seductive voice...
Lalisa
Master. . . Why are you not showing yourself? Bae Hyunjin awaits you...I conveyed your message to him. But he wants to see your charisma first.... If you seat here dully and let your servant do all task, then. . . ( wrapped her hand our his shoulder )...Look at that man, that man, that Seok Jin will take him....
Jeon Dong ah
Jin? Seokjin? That bastard!
Lalisa
Yes, its Seokjin, the same who took your popularity, who took your title, who took your, rank, you took your fame, who took your. . .
Jeon Dong ah
my everything.. He is the rascal!
And to her luck, that drunkard got under her talk as if they were spells.As he was drunk like a mad now, he had started hallucinating things. And now, making the perfect use of his subconscious mind, Lisa portraited Taeyong as Seokjin, whom Dong-ah hates and wishes to fight and compete with... However, upon hearing Lisa's words about that person provoking him, Jin's arrogant and haughty expression with a hint of scorn appeared in Dong-ah's eyes. He gnashed his teeth and yelled a five thousand and fifty tales. Once those words were said, the surrounding people were all shocked because before this day, there had been no courtesan with a marked price of five thousand and fifty gold a night. Seeing this Taeyong was intrigued beyond words as he increased the bar and proceeded the bid. Each passing second, the biding went higher to unbelievable level.
Jeon Dong-ah went into thought for a while when the bid reached Nine thousand and fifty gold.. It was something that he could never pay out. Not only that, once Jeon Jung-hoon knew of this matter, he would surely beat him up till he couldn’t get out of bed...However, under the public’s gaze, must he dejectedly abstain and give up his winning chances? At this moment, his competitive nature was evoked, and his actions tended outweighed..
Lalisa
Raise the bar master.. raise it ( whispers and walks away )
Jeon Dong ah
Ten thousands and fifty ( raised his hand and banged the table )
Although Taeyong was someone with a luxurious lifestyle and dressing, he deeply understood the rules of the red-light district. Beautiful ladies and men were wonderful, but ten thousand and fifty was too expensive, ten thousand and fifty could already buy a few beautiful, exotic young men with clean bodies. Everyone looked at him like he was an idiot, yet Dong-ah only stared at Taeyong . In his eyes, Taeyong at this moment was like a flustered, defeated, humiliated and exasperated Seok jin, whom he hates like hell, insistently having no means to deal with him.
With that, Taeyong cupped his hands in farewell and turned around and left. However, he still felt indignant and once he reached the door, with maliciousness and ruthlessness in his eyes, he ordered the manservant by his side. . .
Choi Taeyong
Thoroughly check out that person just now for this young master! Dare to snatch a man from me, I must surely teach him a lesson, so he regrets it forever!
A brothel maid - I must trouble young master to pass the silver certificate to the gaurds downstairs to manage, then come to boudoir to meet Hyunjin in private .
Naturally he knew that he did not have enough silver to pay Hyunjin , but in the capital brothel, this was not without backing and if things got out of hand what would he do.
Jeon Dong ah
This. . . This young master left the house in a rush today, and he forgot to bring enough silver.
Hyunjin - But capital brothel doesn’t have the custom of buying on credit. Why doesn’t young master go get the money first and then we can have a proper discussion?
The words were said with ridicule, and Dong ah was seething with rage. He had already had wine, therefore, did things without restraint.
Everyone laughed at those words.
Jeon Dong ah
You are only a ***** working as a **********! Greedy and easily tempted by money, and you dare to say that you love talented scholars, you’re just putting on airs! ****!
Hyunjin's expression changed and instantly, there were bodyguards with knives and sticks rushing out from all four corners.
Hyunjin - It looks like young master is here to cause trouble, or maybe to use causing trouble as a distraction to repudiate the debt? Capital brothel punishes those who deny their debts following the traditional custom. Does young master wish to keep the left hand or the right hand? ( smirked as he looked into Dong-ah's eyes )
Dong-ah's servant - Gentleman, please show mercy! My young master was not planning on denying the debt. Sir, please bring people to the capital’s Jeon mansion, my young master is the Minister Jeon's Second son, you can bring young master’s token to collect the price.
Hyunjin - Since it is so, guards, please bring a few people and make a trip to the Jeons. Everyone present please be my witness that this young man spent ten thousand and fifty on me. When Young Master Jeon brings the silver, I will of course meet him at night.
The people were again in a wave of discussion, Minister Jeon had clear and upright moral values, yet surprisingly, he gave birth to a son that was on this level of shamelessness. The crowd could not help but think of the rumours regarding Jeon Sui at the lantern festival a few days back. They thought in their hearts, it is really true that one may know a person for a long time but not understand his or her true nature.
That night, Jungkook closed his books and was prepared to rest, when he faintly heard a crying voice come across from outside. The cry definitely was loud and grief filled because it could be heard to far distance. He was alerted. Just as he was about to step out and inquire, Baek came running...
Baek ( yeonjun)
Master, master. Second master is gone. It seems like people from Capital's brothel are here. They claim that Second Young Master owes them money. Lady Jeon and master had a very fierce argument. Lady Jeon wants to give them money to redeem Second Young Master, however, master says that there isn’t that much money. Then lady Jeon started crying and argued with master.
Jeon mansion indeed did not have ten thousand and fifty gold taels. The mansion looked magnificent and splendid, yet in the end, it was only an empty shell. Not to mention, a few days ago, in order to bribe official examiner for Jeon Dong-ah's exam, Jeon Junghoon offered a large sum of money. In the Jeon manor main hall, Junghoon stood facing his back to the wailing Xia Yan, who kneeled on the ground and was weeping hysterically. Junghoon had a face as if slapped 10 times. He was red with anger and shame. His prestigious son had soiled their pride and now was caught in a debt in brothel. Jeon Sui's face was already pale and fear dripped from her eyes as she held her mother.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
(tightly grabbed onto Jung-hoon's arm and complained tearfully)
Husband , he is our flesh and blood, are you really planning on not caring about him anymore? He is our son, our beloved. He is in danger out there. ( sobbed)
Jeon Junghoon
It’s not that I do not wish to save him he is my son too. But am helpless it is really because we does not have that much money.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
We can go borrow money.Husband , don’t you know many bureaucrats, just borrow from them...
Jeon Junghoon
Borrow money from bureaucrats! Do you take my Jeon household's reputation as something that can be easily trampled on?
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
( she sobbed more as she wasn't able to think of anything. She grabbed her husband's feet and cried )
The more popular a courtesan was, the higher the price would be, and therefore, Bae hyunjin wasn’t someone just anyone could afford to offend. If someone owed a large sum and was unable to pay it, then he would have to pay back with his life. If the people from jeon went to talk to the people from brothel and were only willing to pay a part of the money, it was equivalent to admitting that Jeons was unable to bear responsibility for the rest.
Then, according to the regulations, Jeon Dong-ah would have to leave a part of his body there.
Jeon Junghoon
Don’t cry anymore. go to the storehouse to retrieve the gold and find a few people to make a trip to capital's brothel.
As for Dong-ah , he was destined to not be able to come back intact.
