My Accidental Husband (Taekook)
The Husband from Heaven
Someone
You’re already married! Why are you here to register again?!
Someone
Don’t you realize it’s a crime to be a bigamist?
Kim Taehyung
(startled, stepping out of the courthouse, holding the marriage certificate)
Kim Taehyung
*What just happened...?*
Someone
Mr. Kim, you’re already married. Why did you hire me for a sham wedding? The deposit is non-refundable, by the way. (hurries away)
Kim Taehyung
(Biting his lip) *I've never even had a boyfriend. How could I be married?!*
Kim Taehyung
(looking at the certificate) This is me, but who is this other man?
Kim Taehyung
(taking out his phone, snapping a picture of the certificate, and opening WeChat) I need to find out
Kim Taehyung
(typing) 📧Help me figure out who this is.
Kim Taehyung
(looking back at the certificate) In this photo, I look constrained with a forced smile. That mole on the corner of my eye proves it’s me. But the other man...
Kim Taehyung
He has heavy features and a prominent nose. His thin lips curve into a faint smile, and he stares into the camera lens intently, like he’s piercing through the paper. His mystery and commanding presence can’t be concealed, even in a black-and-white photo
Kim Taehyung
(reading the name) Jeon Jungkook. I’m certain I’ve never met this man! What on earth is going on?!
Someone
Temp Worker 1:
Who is he? He’s so handsome!
Someone
Temp Worker 2:
Shush, he’s the illegitimate son that the Boss doesn’t acknowledge.
Someone
Temp Worker 3:
His mom was the mistress. When Mrs. Kim was about to give birth, she showed up heavily pregnant, demanding rights, and they both delivered on the same day. That old woman has got balls. She has made up all sorts of excuses and not left the house.
Someone
Temp Worker 1:
At least Mr. Taehyung knows his place. He moved out in junior high and hasn’t been back for many years. I wonder what brings him here today…
Taehyung kept his gaze lowered, pretending not to hear their talk, and walked into the living room.
Lee Min-Jung, still elegant at such an age, anxiously pulled him upstairs as soon as he entered the house
Lee Min-Jung
Come with me to see your sister. By the way, did you get the marriage certificate?
There was no emotion in Taehyung’s voice
Kim Taehyung
[It is technically true, even though the groom is someone else.]
Lee Min-Jung
That’s good. You have to remember your place. Jeon Min Ho is your sister’s fiancé. He’s from a high-ranking noble family, something an illegitimate child like you could never hope for! Only your sister is worthy of him!
Hearing those words, a touch of mockery flashes in Taehyung's eyes
Kim Taehyung
[Jeon Min Ho, the legitimate grandson of California’s prominent Jeon family's first branch, pursued me throughout college, only to propose to Yuna on graduation day... Ridiculous right ?!]
Kim Taehyung
[Upon learning about the proposal, Min-Jung, my so-called mother demands that I immediately find someone else to marry, extinguishing any potential between me and Min Ho]
Kim Taehyung
[That’s how it always is... Whenever there's even the slightest conflict between me and Yuna, my so-called mother demands I step aside without question.]
Kim Taehyung
[Because I am the illegitimate son, My very existence is considered a disgrace]
Kim Taehyung
[As a child, I was brainwashed into believing that enduring such hardships was natural.]
Kim Taehyung
[But now, I see it clearly]
Taehyung's expression turns solemn as he emphasizes each word
Kim Taehyung
We agree. This is the last time.
Kim Taehyung
[Min-Jung is the culprit]
Kim Taehyung
[She is the one who clings to the Kim family day in and day out just to see her man, and she is the one trying to placate Yuna.]
Kim Taehyung
[I wouldn't ruin my life for her sake]
Kim Taehyung
[Today's event was to repay Min-Jung for giving birth to me. After that, We are even now]
Lee Min-Jung
(annoyed) I heard you.
In the middle of their conversation, they arrived at Yuna’s room.
The pretty girl was like a princess in her stunning dress. She was sitting on the sofa selecting her jewelry, and the room was filled with the glamorous sparkle of gemstones.
Taehyung, dressed simply, maintained his straight posture despite the contrast.
Kim Yuna
Taehyung, what brings you here?
Lee Min-Jung
Yuna, Taehyung got married today.
Kim Yuna
So soon? Who’s the guy? Is he better than Min Ho?
Lee Min-Jung
(mocking): Of course not! There isn’t a single person in all of California of higher standing than young Master Jeon! Yuna, do you really think he could find a decent suitor? The loser he married didn’t even dare to come here with him. He’s afraid that his poverty-stricken appearance will offend your sight!
Kim Yuna
(with a hint of jealousy): How can that be? Taehyung’s so pretty; otherwise Min Ho wouldn’t have pursued him for four years.
Lee Min-Jung
What’s the use of being pretty? A shabby shoe will only match a ragged sock. Given his status, only the scum of society would marry him. Young Master Jeon merely saw him as a toy and a passing amusement. Only you, Yuna, with your status, are a match for young Master Jeon…
Kim Taehyung
(Frowned) *The man in the photo, with his looks and presence, didn’t seem to correspond with Min-Jung’s description of a ghetto husband and scum at all.*
But he couldn’t be bothered to refute these frivolous remarks.
Right at that moment, Yuna finished picking out her jewelry. She wanted to put on her heels but found it difficult to bend over due to the tight-fitting dress.
Yuna gave Taehyung a slight smile.
Lee Min-Jung
Useless boy, always so oblivious! Your sister is having trouble. Now go on and help her put on her shoes!
Kim Taehyung
[It was always like this. Did Min-Jung still think I am that naive, ignorant little boy who wouldn’t know how to fight back even when bullied?]
Kim Taehyung
(coldly): You can help her yourself.
Lee Min-Jung
Kim Taehyung, what’s this attitude? Do you think you’ve grown wings just because you’re married now? Your husband is nothing more than a freeloader! In the end, you’ll still need to rely on the Kim family!
Lee Min-Jung
(Raised her voice) If you don’t make peace with your sister now, there will come a day when you and your husband will come begging her for help! Besides, the Kim family raised you, so you should be serving the family like a servant!
At that moment, a tall figure appeared at the door. It was their father, Seung-Heon Kim.
Kim Seung-Heon
(frowned) A distinguished guest is about to arrive, and you’re arguing here?
Yuna remained silent, playing innocent.
Lee Min-Jung
(Played the victim): It’s all because of this cursed boy. He’s looking down on his mother just because he got married today…
Kim Seung-Heon
(Fixed his gaze on Taehyung) You got married? Why didn’t you let us help introduce someone decent to you? Where’s the marriage certificate, let me see…
Faced with this estranged father’s so-called concern, Taehyung hesitated for a moment before fishing out the printout from his bag.
However, the very next second, it was snatched away by Min-Jung
Lee Min-Jung
Let me see what kind of loser you married!
Kim Yuna
(curiously) Dad, who’s coming that’s got you so nervous?
Upon thinking of the guest, Seung-Heon instantly brightened up. He excitedly announced
Kim Seung-Heon
It’s Jeon Jungkook.
Kim Taehyung
(immediately taken aback) Who?
