My Accidental Husband (Taekook)
Husband
Kim Yuna
(looked confused): Who’s Jeon Jungkook? Is he really important?
Kim Taehyung
(was also curious and listened).
Kim Taehyung
👉Someone who had some connections in California, but he had never heard that name.
Kim Seung-Heon
It’s normal for you not to know him because he’s a mystery. Even I have never met him. He is Jeon Min Ho’s young uncle. He’s only 28 years old and is now the real power holder in the Jeon family!
Lee Min-Jung
(gasped): Doesn’t that make him a better match for Yuna than Min Ho? The one in power is much better than any legitimate grandson of the first branch!
Kim Seung-Heon
(snapped): Nonsense, Mr. Jeon is married!
Kim Taehyung
(narrowed his eyes): Married…
Kim Taehyung
*If he really is the man in the marriage certificate, then it would seem that Jungkook should know what’s going on.*
Lee Min-Jung
(seemed disappointed): Who’s his wife? She’s even luckier than Yuna.
Kim Taehyung
(quickly looked at Seung-Heon and heard him say)
Kim Seung-Heon
I don’t know. It’s said that he and his wife aren’t fond of social engagements. (frowned in deep thought) I’m not sure why he suddenly decided to come here today…
Kim Taehyung
[The Jeon family is the top family in California, and the one in control has a very prestigious status.]
Kim Taehyung
[The Kim family is just slightly above average in terms of wealth. This marriage was viewed as Yuna marrying up. It was impressive enough if the one in power could attend the wedding. Why would he personally show up for the betrothal?]
Lee Min-Jung
(interrupted): Yuna must be so outstanding that she has caught the Jeon family’s attention! Yuna, this diamond necklace isn’t grand enough for such important guests. Let’s find something more extravagant!
She stuffed the printout back into Taehyung’s hand and anxiously led Yuna away to pick out new jewelry. She seemed to care more about Yuna than Mrs. Kim, Yuna’s own mother.
Kim Taehyung
(gave a mocking smile.)
Someone
Butler:
Sir, the Jeon family is almost here.
The butler reminded Seung-Heon. As he passed by Taehyung to go downstairs, he casually said…
Kim Seung-Heon
You haven’t been home in a long time. Have a celebratory drink and then go.
He wanted to stay and see who Jeon Jungkook really was!
Inside, Min-Jung helped Yuna pick out her jewelry and put it on for her.
Looking at the bright girl in front of her, Min-Jung couldn’t hide her joy and satisfaction.
Over twenty years ago, if it hadn’t been for Jodie South, aka Mrs. Kim, she would have married Seung-Heon Kim!
She despised Jodie, so she purposely made a scene and gave birth on the same day before switching their children in the hospital.
Lee Min-Jung
*Now, my daughter is getting married in a grand way, and Jodie is even going to prepare an extravagant dowry for her!*
Lee Min-Jung
*As for Taehyung, who had been turned into an illegitimate son, he was penniless and had to marry a little punk!!*
How the tables have turned. Min-Jung believed that Mrs. Kim deserved it!
Kim Taehyung
(lazily stood in the shadow of the staircase, staring at the entrance and waiting quietly for the Jeon family to arrive).
After some time, Mrs. Kim slowly walked downstairs with help from a servant. She wore a purple dress, looking slightly emaciated. She was full of scholarly spirit and seemed unapproachable.
Someone
Servent (said softly):
Ma’am, you’re not well. It’s better if you don’t come down.
Jodie South
(shook her head and spoke while coughing): No… I can’t… miss Yuna’s… important day…
They didn’t notice Taehyung and headed toward the entrance.
Kim Taehyung
(watched Mrs. Kim from behind, his eyes filled with admiration).
It was funny. Mrs. Kim, who should have the right to hate Taehyung the most, was the only kind person he met in the Kim family.
Min-Jung didn’t act like a mother at all and often forgot to feed Taehyung when he was young.
As a child, Taehyung was so skinny and malnourished that he dug around in trash cans for food as soon as he learned to walk.
One day Mrs. Kim found him doing that and started leaving food for him in the garden every day.
She kept up this routine for twelve years.
If it weren’t for Mrs. Kim’s kindness, Taehyung probably would have died of hunger a long time ago.
Kim Taehyung
(watched Mrs. Kim getting farther away and heard the sound of her coughing from time to time. He frowned with worry.)
At that moment, there was a commotion at the entrance. The Jeon family had arrived!
Kim Seung-Heon
(greeted them at the entrance. They exchanged a few words before stepping aside to let a group of people stream in)
Kim Taehyung
(Caught sight of Jeon Jungkook at once).
He was wearing a well-tailored bespoke black suit and walking at the front like a moon surrounded by stars. His features were more distinct than in the photos, with a firm profile and strong jawline.
His deep-set eyes were brooding, his thin lips were stern-looking, and his every move exuded an air of sophistication.
Perhaps sensing his gaze, Taehyung suddenly looked back at him.
For a moment, their eyes met.
His sharp gaze made Taehyung’s heart flutter. Just as he was trying to observe the emotions in his eyes, Jungkook shifted his gaze elsewhere.
This left Taehyung somewhat confused.
Kim Seung-Heon
(asked with a smile) Mr. Jungkook, where’s your wife? Didn’t she come with you?
At the question, Jungkook glanced at Taehyung again. He casually replied
Jeon Jungkook
He couldn't make it
They chatted while walking to the living room.
Min Ho,who had pursued Taehyung for four years, followed behind the elders. Dressed in a suit, he seemed more mature and stable than in college. He didn’t notice Taehyung and was whispering to Yuna absent-mindedly.
Everyone seated Jungkook at the main seat and began to discuss the marriage arrangements.
Only then did Taehyung step out of the shadows.
He stood quietly there, watching the lively scene in the living room.
Suddenly, his arm was grabbed by Min-Jung, who hissed at him
Lee Min-Jung
Taehyung, what are you still doing here? Can’t you give up on Min Ho? Let me tell you. He’s your brother-in-law now!
Kim Taehyung
(Freed himself from her grip and smirked) Don’t worry. I’m not interested in being a mistress. It was Mr. Kim who asked me to stay for a celebratory drink
Since he was old enough to understand the situation, he had always addressed Seung-Heon Kim as “Mr. Kim”.
Lee Min-Jung
(Gritted her teeth ) That’s just his polite way of speaking. You actually take it seriously? Do you really not know your place? In a gathering like this, even I can’t embarrass the Kims, let alone you, an illegitimate son. Are you worthy of having a seat at the table? You better leave now.
Kim Taehyung
*Does she ever stop? She's so annoying!*
Taehyung frowns impatiently, about to retort.
Jeon Jungkook stands and points to his phone, heading toward the balcony.
Kim Taehyung
(eyes lighting up) Fine, I'll go.
Ignoring Min-Jung, he strides out of the living room, making his way to the balcony that leads to the small garden outside.
As he approaches, he notices Jungkook swiftly ending his call and fixing his piercing gaze on him.
