Cursed!

Jeon jungkook
Father, do you think that I was born under a cursed star too? ( asks to Jung-hoon directly )
Jung-hoon looked at him and felt that even if Jungkook was smiling, the pair of beautiful eyes looked like they were immersed in ice cold water, making one feel chilled.
He was distracted for a moment. It was as though he saw Park Min-ji , who looked haggard lying in her coffin, asking coldly.
He panicked, immediately a suffocated feeling emerged.
Panic
Fear
panic and fear of what?
Truth?
being revealed?
It is a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up.
And thats when you panic.. you loose it and nervousness rules you cause...
You fear.. of the truth.. of the reality.. whether its good or bad, wrong or correct..
Fear is the mind-killer.
Panicking by yourself is the same as laughing alone in an empty room. You feel really silly.
Jungkook looked at Old Jeon Madame, but Old Jeon Madame had already shut her eyes, as if she did not wish to see this shoddy drama.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Priest, what should we do now?
Fake priest
Fake priest
If it was before, letting him stay at the countryside residence would have sufficed.
Fake priest
Fake priest
However, you all fetched him home, and now the evil air has grown day by day. ( points at kook)
Fake priest
Fake priest
It is best to find an ancestral temple and have him stay there for a few years, after everything has subsided a bit, perhaps it can be resolved. ( says while touching his own beard )
Nam seok and Shi Zhang who were standing behind Jungkook felt a chill in their heart, what a vicious thought!
After becoming a Buddhist monk at a temple for a few years, they was afraid that the people in the capital would eventually forget that there was someone called Jungkook.
Wrong.
Xia Yan had already declared in front of so many people that Jungkook bore a cursed sign, thus which decent family in the capital would want him.
There was complete silence, then suddenly a low and deep voice said...
"Amitabha! How can almighty be this ruthless. I disagree. Priest, please be mindful of your words."
A middle aged yellow-robed monk walked slowly into the hall, staff in hand.
Compared with the Taoist priest, Bae-jun , this middle aged monk was amiable and benign-looking, his movements infused with an air of holiness that would not tolerate any profanity; he really seemed to be the epitome of a Buddhist disciple.
Someone in the hall recognised the monk and cried out in amazement
- Isn’t this Great Master Woo-shik ?
- Ommo... great master Wooshik.. Great master wooshik..
- Holy lord.. its great master. Why is he here??
Great Master Woo-shik reputation far exceeded that of Taoist priest Bae-jun .
Every single one of the rich and noble families in the capital knew of the enlightened senior monk with a brilliant grasp of Buddhist doctrine who had appeared in the capital city at the end of the previous year.
When Xia Yan’s eyes landed on Woo-shik , she knew this boded no good, but Jungkook was still standing in the middle of the hall with a faint smile on his face.
Xia Yan was instantly full of suspicion – how did Jungkook establish a connection with this monk? However, on thinking about the events of the day, she absolutely could not allow Woo-shik to hamper her plan.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Great master Woo-shik... Jeon manor welcomes you on our prosperous mother's birthday.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
We are blessed to have your foot in our house.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
But may I know why are you here?
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Amitabha...Young master Jungkook...
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
Yes.. great master.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
( sighs and lifts his head with a smile )
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
This is my present for halmeoni.
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
How... how can this be? ( shocked )
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
A few days ago, I went out with the young master from Chief Historian Jung , Jung Hoseok , intending to select a gift for halmeoni , but nothing was satisfactory.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
I thought, nothing in this world can surpass the importance of peace and good health, and a long life of good fortune.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
I heard that Great Master Woo-shik in the capital is a disciple of Buddha’s Seat.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
As it turns out, Hoseok hyung has some connection with the Great Master, so I asked Hoseok hyung for a favour, as I wanted to invite the Great Master to pray for halmeoni .
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
( says all this innocently )
All the rich and noble families in the capital city were followers of Buddha, and many of them had invited Great Master Woo-shik into their manors to explain Buddhist scriptures. So they sighed after listening.
He spoke with such sincerity that to doubt him seemed to be tantamount to disappointing his absolute devotion.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
Honourable Great Master Woo-shik , I cannot thank you enough for your willingness to make this journey to pray for halmeoni. ( bows 90° towards Woo-shik )
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
However, since Holy sir is at present engaged in performing an exorcism and is not in the right frame of mind to pray for halmeoni , would Great Master kindly consent to praying for halmeoni now? ( says innocently with pleading eyes )
Everyone was slightly startled on hearing his words.
Upon deeper thought to those who might be more calculative and scheming, if this son of the Jeon family was not scared about something, could he still bring up praying for blessings even at this time.
Others, who looked only on the surface of the matter, were full of praise for Jungkook . He showed that not only was he not concerned about his cursed fate, but instead was concerned about praying for his family’s halmeoni .
It was such an act of laudable filial piety. In contrast, Xia Yan and the others, including Jung-hoon the so-called son, were only concerned with what that fate portended, and blatantly disregarded how the elderly lady was feeling at that moment.
Old Jeon Madame looked coolly at Jungkook . Although she said nothing, a gleam of understanding appeared in her eyes. She did not raise any objections but quietly watched to see what would happen.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Priest Bae-jun can also pray for blessings...
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Must we give trouble to Great master, Jungkook-ah?
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
( says with hesitation )
Some genuinely believed that Jungkook was to be pitied, while others were merely following the crowd to take advantage of the situation.
Only Jungkook continued to stand in silence, the corners of his mouth uplifted in amusement, as if his mood had not been shaken in the slightest by the situation in front of him.
Woo-shik was standing closest to Jungkook and naturally could clearly see his expression.
From the time he had walked into the hall, he had noticed the people there were intentionally targeting Jungkook , yet this young boy before his eyes was still standing perfectly straight, all smiles, as if everything was firmly in his grasp.
He thought about how, after Jungkook had left that day, all had occurred as he had said – the Prefectural Magistrate’s manor had indeed been haunted, and they had invited him to conduct an exorcism the next day.
Could it be that what he had said was true – in this world, there are actually people who know the past and therefore also know the future?
Deep in his heart, he firmly rejected this notion.
This son of the Jeon family must have some truly able person directing him from behind, otherwise, how could he know so much?
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Today, this monk was originally here to pray on behalf of this manor's old madame... ( shakes his head and said )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
but, just now, this monk heard what the priest said, and cannot remain silent.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Great Master, you can tell us whatever it is in private after the longevity feast. ( says in all smiles trying to cover up)
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
We of the monkhood do not engage in falsehoods. ( says sternly )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
It is simply that this monk sees that Young master has a full forehead, an upright nose bridge, plump and smooth lips; his appearance is that of a person who is blessed with good fortune.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
The fate of being born under a cursed star, which priest has pronounced, is wrong say.
He said all this with a righteous and majestic bearing, such that those who heard him could not help but believe him.
When Woo-shik appeared, Bae-jun felt his confidence waver, for he was only a cheap trickster who was used to conning ordinary people on a regular basis.
It’s just that, this time, he had been ordered to come by Xia Yan. He could never match up to the renown and positive public opinion that Woo-shik enjoyed in the capital city.
However, now that he had already reached this stage, he had no choice but to brace himself and press on. So, he assumed a haughty attitude and said...
Bae-jun
Bae-jun
Could it be that Great Master has made a mistake?
Bae-jun
Bae-jun
This priest studied at Mt. Sobaeksan and has never made a miscalculation in fortune telling. ( says hautily)
Bae-jun
Bae-jun
I have already verified the young master JungKook's birthdate characters and he is indeed born under this star, and will be the bane of others’ existence.
Bae-jun
Bae-jun
( says hoarsely and loudly )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Kindly forgive this monk for not blindly accepting what you say. ( says politely )
This posture caused the surrounding people, who were all enjoying the show, to have even more respect for him. They felt that Woo-shik was neither servile nor overbearing, which was entirely befitting a senior monk. In contrast, Bae-jun had an arrogant attitude, which had subconsciously evoked the people’s dislike.
Bae-jun
Bae-jun
Could it be that Great Master is deliberately making things difficult for this priest? ( says with a bit of anger )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
If the priest insists on seeing it this way, then this monk is powerless to do anything about it.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
It is true that this manor has a sinister energy, but it is not due to his fate. ( says rather humbly )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Rather, it is because a demon has caused mischief in this manor, and it may be assumed that it has attached itself to someone in the manor. ( looks around to everyone )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
That person . . . is not Young master Jeon Jungkook. ( says humbly yet loudly )
It was all spiritual mumbo-jumbo, yet the people in the hall were all listening with grave expressions, as if firmly believing in all that was said, without a shred of doubt.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
This monk will now think of a way to force this demon to show itself. ( says as if declaring )
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
This... this. Its not good.. not good. ( stutters out )
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
( She agitatedly looked at Jung-hoon )
With all her calculations and deliberations, she had never imagined that Jungkook would go so far as to invite Great Master Woo-shik to the manor, giving her a taste of her own medicine. In the moment when we truly understand our enemy, understand them well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment we also love them . On thinking of all this, Xia Yan felt hatred and fury rise up within her. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when we love them.... we destroy them.
Jeon Junghoon
Jeon Junghoon
Since Great Master has this intention, could we please trouble Great Master. ( says out all of sudden )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Amitabha..
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
This monk needs to take a look at each courtyard
Immediately, two maidservants came forward to guide Woo-shik . The three of them were right in front, while Xia Yan and Sui followed closely behind in a bid to prevent any trickery by Woo-shik. Jung-hoon and the people who were there for the entertainment also followed behind, as did maids who were supporting Old Jeon Madame by the arm, all of them keen to see what was going on. Woo-shik resolutely did as he had said and walked through all the rooms in every single courtyard.
At the main courtyard right in the middle of the jeon manor just outside Jung-hoon's study, Woo-shik silently retrieved an incense censer from his bag and shook out the contents of another cloth bag, which turned out to be incense powder. He placed the incense powder into the censer and also lit a joss stick. As green smoke spiraled forth, he sat down in the lotus position, one hand striking a wooden fish, the other hand fingering prayer beads, while he closed his eyes and started to meditate. Only Jungkook looked calm and composed; Xia Yan and Sui were naturally increasingly apprehensive. Under the weight of many eyes, Woo-shik continued chanting Buddhist scriptures. At first, nothing happened. Half a joss stick later, incredibly, a dense black mass suddenly appeared in the sky flying towards them. Everyone was alarmed. The sky had already been gloomy, but the dense black mass obstructed almost the entire sky above the Jeon manor. Once the mass drew closer, only then could one clearly see that it was composed of hundreds of big, black-winged bats. Fluttering their wings, they approached the manor in an almost slow motion. All the people and young ladies at the scene cried out in fear, but the cloud of black-winged bats flew past the main courtyard without stopping and continued on. After flying back and forth for a while, they all finally and unexpectedly stopped above Jeon Sui's courtyard. After a brief pause, the cloud of bats abruptly rushed into the lady’s chamber of the residence, where a maidservant was busily tidying up. Faced with such a big cloud of bats, she immediately ran out. Everyone present was dumbfounded and Xia Yan and Sui turned pale. Woo-shik stopped chanting.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
The demon has showed his true self.
Jeon Junghoon
Jeon Junghoon
Whose residence is that? ( asked out loud )
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
Its second young miss.
Jeon Dong ah
Jeon Dong ah
Great Master, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that my sister is a demon? ( asked with pale face )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Second Jeon Miss is not a demon, but the demon which is causing mischief is now in Second Jeon Miss’s courtyard.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Second Jeon Miss has been staying with this evildoer for many years, so she has been possessed by it. ( says as he looks at Sui )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
It is due to this that disaster has befallen the Jeon manor.
Jeon Dong ah
Jeon Dong ah
Every single thing that has happened in this manor , all happened when hyung Jungkook returned.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Perhaps Second Miss experienced some kind of danger previously, or suffered an illness.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
During an illness, a person’s spiritual consciousness is weak, and the demon might have taken advantage of the weakness to enter the body.
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
Didn’t Second Miss fall into the water at the Boat festival several days ago?
Shi Zhang
Shi Zhang
At that time, she was pulled from the water, gasping for breath. I am afraid it might have been at this time that the misfortune occurred.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone came to the awareness that Young master was not really born under a cursed star. Instead, the troubles faced by the Jeon manor were due to the proclivity for evil caused by Second Miss. On thinking about how Jungkook had earlier been wrongly accused yet had not gotten angry or forgotten his manners, and even faced the situation with a smile, the guests were full of admiration for him. Thus, they started to discuss this amazing turn of events whereby the previously unjustly treated Young master Jeon was now being defended.
"So, it turns out that Young master Jungkook is innocent."
"He was almost made the scapegoat."
"Tsk tsk, Second Jeon Miss must have known that she was being possessed by the demon, and that’s why she wanted to throw the shit pot at Young master."
The voices were not actually loud, but neither were they soft, and they were clear enough to be overheard. Jeon Sui was aware that she had lost face and was full of bitter hatred. She had never imagined that, today, she would once again have victory snatched away from her at the last minute. Not only that, Jungkook had also managed to turn the tables on him. When she thought about this, she felt somewhat raged. Now If she had been singled out as the inauspicious person, then what would happen in future? After further consideration, she thought it was still all right. This bald donkey had not said that she had the fate of one born under a cursed star, but only that she was possessed. Everything would be good after some days. Xia Yan was so enraged, she was dying to charge at Jungkook and rip out his throat. She knew there was something shady about this Great Master Woo-shik ; he and Jungkook must have established a connection earlier. Although she did not understand why this renowned senior monk would help Jungkook , she was convinced that the cloud of big, black-winged bats which had appeared today had to be Woo-shik's doing. However, they had followed him the entire time and Woo-shik had not made any kind of movement, so how on earth had he managed to stage something like this? Jung-hoon had not been inclined to accept what was happening, but, at that moment, watching so many big, black-winged bats rushing into Sui’s residence without any reason, he believed Woo-shik's explanation to some extent.
Jeon Junghoon
Jeon Junghoon
Great master... what should we do know? Show us some way...
JungKook's smile turned slightly mocking. Even till now, Jung-hoon was still concerned about Sui; the father-daughter relationship was indeed strong. If their positions had been switched, Jung-hoon would have considered him filthy, and wished that he would disappear from the face of the earth.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
We just need to get rid of the bad luck. This monk will write a few Buddhist texts and paste them in the room, and all will be well after a few days. ( says while eyes closed )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Second Miss has been possessed by this evildoer for too long, so a few days will not be sufficient. ( says seriously )
Jeon Junghoon
Jeon Junghoon
I will do everything you wish. Save my manor and my daughter..
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
I know of a private temple. It would be best for Second Miss to go there to devote herself to spiritual development for a period of time.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
In the temple, she would feel the influence of eternal Buddist scriptures the entire day. The filthy energy will be dispelled, and Second Miss will emerge unscathed. ( says as he took a glance of Jungkook )
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
I haven’t been possessed by any demon, and I don’t want to go to the temple!NO! ( shouted )
Jeon Junghoon
Jeon Junghoon
Sui.. behave!
Jeon Junghoon
Jeon Junghoon
Great Master... how much time my daughter needs to stay in the temple?
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
This monk does not dare to give any guarantees, but it is to be feared that Second Miss will not be able to return home for two to three years.
In a split second, Xia Yan’s face took on an unsightly expression as she turned to look at Jungkook . Their plan just now had been to send Jungkook to the temple for three to five years, and now, Jungkook had returned the intention with thanks, instead sending Sui to the temple for a few years.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Is there any other way? Great Master, I only have this daughter. ( pleads and sits on knees )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
(shook his head and sighed without saying anything further)
Jeon Jung-hoon was in a dilemma.
If Sui stayed at the jeon manor , even more incidents would occur. Moreover, if Sui stayed at the temple, her personal bad luck would also be eliminated. Although he was reluctant to part with her, he knew that this was the best way. He froze and looked at Jungkook , who was still in the position he had been previously, a small smile on his face. He was clearly at the centre of the entire situation, but he looked relaxed and at ease, seemingly having nothing at all to do with the proceedings. Ordinarily, these siblings were the ones who made him feel the proudest, but, lately, they had disappointed him over and over again, making him impatient, impetuous, and short-sighted. Not even Jungkook had made him feel thus. It was as if he had everything and everyone in his grasp, and was quietly watching the course of events unfold from the outside, observing other people’s disputes with cold eyes. Jeon Dong-ah was already being controlled and dragged by gaurds as he was cursing and calling names to Woo-shik for making fake claims. Junghoon felt being reddened with shame.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Great Master was invited here by me, so if you doubt Great Master, then you also doubt me.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
In Second Older Brother’s opinion, why would a person like Great Master do the bidding of me? For money? ( asks as if disgusted )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
My monthly allowance is 2 coins. With a monthly allowance of two coins, even the incense burned at an ordinary temple would cost more. ( disgust and hatred in eyes )
The crowd was once again in an uproar.
Two coins a month, that was the allowance of a second-ranked maidservant!
Even though Jungkook was the Jeon family’s son, he was frugal and exercised self-control. All this caused the people to wonder what the root cause was – was jeon manor embarrassingly short of money at the moment, or was Xia Yan, the mistress of the manor, too harsh on her step-son?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Since Second Sister is demon-possessed, that means that I was not born cursed and does not have the fate of being the bane of others’ existence. ( looks at Bae-jun angrily )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
What about the holy priest Bae-jun who calculated my birthdate characters five years ago, such that I had to waste five years at the rural residence? ( asks with pain in voice )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
How should this debt be calculated, Holy sir? ( glared at Bae-jun )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I am on good terms with the young master of the Lord Mayor; perhaps it might be possible to ask him to accommodate us. ( smirks while looking at Jeon Sui and Xia Yan )
He had a gentle smile on his face, but, in contrast, every word was laced with intense accusation. It was so menacing that one knew, whether retaliating or retreating, one was on dangerous ground. Bae-jun had long since started to sweat heavily, and he looked to Xia Yan in an unspoken appeal for help.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Jung.. Jungkook-ah.. ( stutters with a awkward smile )
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Holy Sir Bae-jun is an old acquaintance, and there must be some misunderstanding. (with nervous smile )
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
It would be best not to draw a definite conclusion
Jeon Junghoon
Jeon Junghoon
ENOUGH ‼️ ( growled loudly )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
This monk will send disciples with the scriptures when they have been written. ( says with gentle voice )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Now, the matter is over, this monk ought to take his leave. ( bows to Old jeon madam )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Not quite, Great Master has forgotten something. ( smiled )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I invited Great Master here today to pray for halmeoni , but Great Master unexpectedly expelled a demonic influence from the jeon manor.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
If it is convenient for Great Master, could you please pray for blessings for halmeoni ?
But the Old jeon Madame declined it. She was in no mood to watch any more of the mumbo-jumbo here. She was clearly observing everything and had the ware of the incidents today. And being disappointed, she decided to leave.
On seeing this, the guests hurriedly got up to take their leave.
Almost instantly, the room was cleared of guests. Today, they had witnessed such a good show, and it would not be appropriate for them to stay longer.However, the next day, there would undoubtedly be yet another rumor about the Jeon family making its way around the capital.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
If Great Master is taking his leave, I will see Great Master out.
After they had reached the entrance of the manor, Jungkook looked at Woo-shik and smiled.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Many thanks to Great Master for coming to my aid today.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Did Young master mean what he said at the start?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Of course.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
If Great Master is able to continue aiding me in the same way as today, Buddha will see you accumulating much merit, and will not be indifferent to the child.
Wooshik had been deceiving people for so many years that speaking truthfully was no longer something he could do.
Mixing falsehood and truth was what the wandering monk had taught him from the very beginning.
Today, as he had passed through Sui's residence, he had casually scattered a handful of powdered pig’s blood there. Bats like pig’s blood, but will not come and go at will. There were other substances blended with the powdered blood as well as also mixed with the incense burned at the main residence, which would cause the bats to come forth even in daytime. Those in the know would not have taken today’s scene to be anything alarming, but the ignorant would have seen it as the manifestation of demonic influence. He had smeared a substance on Sui's door so that the bats would fly there at night and bump against the door with sufficient force to make a loud sound, but when Sui opened the door, she would find no one there. This would occur repeatedly until Sui would become paranoid, and then not long after, she would, of her own accord, suggest going to the temple.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
If Great Master can aid me in this way, I will return Great Master the favour. In a few days, I will visit once again. Great Master must not forget what I have said.
Woo-shik stared dazedly at the young boy in front of him, whose beautiful eyes were chilly even though he was smiling. He was so young, yet his thoughts were more profound than any other grown up adult, that he had ever met, with wisdom that was almost otherworldly. Woo-shik kept his thoughts to himself as he bid his farewell and left.
.
.
It had already been raining for nearly a month, but the relentless pitter patter of rain in Great Kwang showed no signs of stopping. Many farms were devastated by the flooding, and in turn the price of rice began to escalate, even for stale rice. Other than for the wealthy who were capable of paying premium prices for fresh produce from out of town, the common folk could only watch their provisions dwindle with each passing day; there were even some who weren’t able to even have a meal. People were praying fervently for this bout of spring rain to come to an end, but alas the sky did not fulfil mankind’s desires, and the rain showed no signs of stopping. As expected, not long after Old Jeon Madame’s longevity birthday celebration, the capital indeed erupted with an increasing number of rumors and gossip regarding the Jeon Family. Jung-hoon had already settled the matters regarding the private temple and had planned for Sui to be taken there in a few days time. The matter regarding Xia Yan’s reputation as the genteel, virtuous and talented lady now required some reflection. That said, based on JungKook's performance the other day, it was evident that her disposition was not to be taken lightly. For a while now, the people of Great Kwang were aware that the Jeon Family’s this ignored son was not one to be underestimated.
Jungkook was lost in thought whilst sitting by the window looking out at the curtain of rain. The hole in the roof of the house had finally been fixed, and on that day, not just the hole, even their monthly allowance had been restored to its rightful amount. Baek walked into the room happily, dancing like a child with a rabbit in his arms. Jungkook immediately sat up as he saw the bunny. He extended his arms and swiftly took the bunny in his arms. Very unexplainably, he had found a new source of calmness and peace from this bunny. He still is unaware of the sender and has been looking for it, but he has no heart to abandon it. A very warm and affectionate feeling erupts in his chest as he holds the bunny close to his chest and boops his ears with his nose. The bunny snuggled in his chest searching for warmth. Jungkook smiled a little as he cradled the petite fur ball in his arms and petted it.
Baek ( yeonjun)
Baek ( yeonjun)
Hyung, I still don't know why u had asked us to buy all those provisions and groceries one month ago. All our money has been spent. Not that am questioning what you have planned... but i have a different thought. Now that the capital has a shortage of provision, why don’t we take some of our provisions to sell?
Baek ( yeonjun)
Baek ( yeonjun)
Don’t know when this rain will stop. ( sighs as he sits down near Jungkook )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Buying those provisions wasn’t meant for resale. The purpose is something else. ( smiled and stroked the rabbit again )
Baek ( yeonjun)
Baek ( yeonjun)
Then what’s it for?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
To save someone. To save some lives that highly matters.
Baek ( yeonjun)
Baek ( yeonjun)
You are planning to wait a few more days before taking those provisions out to aid the disaster relief, providing for the victims of the disaster, thus saving their lives, right??
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
You’ve only got half of it right..I’m not planning to save their lives only. The main target is someone else.
The ones that Jungkook intended to save were the Park family, his maternal family. His mother Minji, Park Minji's family. Since the day Minji had left the house to be Junghoon's wife, they have never spoke again. The doted upon daughter was abandoned and the daughter never went back to initiate things too. And in his past life, the bitterness in their lives simply ended with tormented death. But this time.. no. Jungkook won't let that happen.
Baek ( yeonjun)
Baek ( yeonjun)
Anyway..
Baek ( yeonjun)
Baek ( yeonjun)
I heard that the reservoir in the north of the capital is starting to overflow and the Emperor has ordered Eighth Prince to manage the overflow situation. He has also transferred back the Grand Councillor Choi's manor's Young Master Choi Si-won to go along.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Ah ha! Si-won... ( smirks cunningly)
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Finally, the wait has brought results. ( devilish smirk )
