Chapter 3: Rebirth

Kim taehyung remained imprisoned for years.

During this period, whenever Kim Taehee encountered something exciting, she would come over to the room to show it off. Whenever she quarreled with Jeon Jiho or encountered something unpleasant, she would come over to torture Taehyung.

Taehyung could neither live nor die. He could only stay in the house and wait to get insulted.

Time passed very quickly.Taehyung lost all his weight, and his once beautiful twin, Taehee, could not withstand the ravages of time as well. Wrinkles crawled up the corners of Taehee’s eyes. Every time she came to the house, she would put on exquisite makeup. Yet, Taehyung could still see the creases under her makeup.

Taehyung knew that he had also become old. Occasionally, when the moonlight shone on his face late at night, he would raise his hand and touch his face over and over again. He felt the deep creases. When he touched his cheekbones, there was no flesh on them.

He knew that he looked terrible.

***

On a certain day, the door opened and the omega walked in.

Now, Taehee was 46 years old.

She was wearing a gray sweater, and her hair was disheveled. The moment she stepped inside the room, she smiled at Taehyung. However, her smile was no longer as flamboyant as it used to be. Only bitterness and misery remained.

Taehyung’s eyes flashed. After being imprisoned for so many years, the pain had long washed away the love she had for Jiho back then.

Still, Taehyung’s heart trembled when he heard that Jeon Jiho was dead.

Taehee sat down beside Taehyung. She blankly stared at the sunlight and muttered to herself, “He’s dead. His expressionless blind brother killed him.”

Taehyung only listened. This was the first time she heard Taehee mention anyone other than Jiho and her child.

He vaguely remembered Jiho’s brother.  Although he had never seen him before, he knew that his name was Jeon Jungkook.

“Hehe…”  Taehee dejectedly laughed. She seemed to have aged by more than ten years. “Hehe… He’s dead. Taehyung , are you satisfied now?” When she could not hear Taehyung speak,  Taehee suddenly murmured, “My good brother, I can’t even remember your voice.”

Taehyung silently looked at Taehee with a calm expression.

Taehee continued, “I’m going to take my child overseas. If he stays in the  Jeon family, that crippled wolf, Jeon Jungkook, will sooner or later kill him.”  Taehee raised her hand and touched Taehyung’s dry and white hair. Due to malnutrition, Taehyung’s hair had already turned white. Taehee’s fingers passed through his hair. When her hand fell, several strands of white hair were left on her hand.

Staring at the white hair, Taehee was stunned.

“Taetae.”

Taehyung finally looked up when he heard an unfamiliar greeting he had not heard in a long time. However, Taehee did not say anything else and left just like that.

After that day, Taehyung never saw Taehee again. Taehyung originally thought that he would starve to death in this house. However, unexpectedly, the second day after his sister left, the nanny who had been responsible for delivering him meals sent him to a remote nursing home.

Of course, that nanny only left him outside the nursing home.

Taehyung was fortunate that the nursing home’s dean saved him. The dean was called Cha Eunwoo, and he was the last bit of warmth Taehyung met in this life.

Eunwoo accompanied him for twelve years. Their relationship was like that between lovers, but also like that between family. There was no love between them, but a bond stronger than love. When Taehyung died, Eunwoo had sat by his bed. He had held his slightly fleshy hand and softly said, “I don’t know your name, I don’t know where you came from, and I don’t know what you’ve suffered.

“But I hope that you will be happy in your next life. I hope that we can meet again in your next life. If I meet you, I will definitely protect you and won’t let you suffer again.

“The pain and suffering you experienced in this lifetime have already passed. Just let go of everything, and pass away in peace. Don’t worry about me.”

Let go of everything and pass away in peace?

When Taehyung closed his eyes, his mind only had one thought. He was unwilling to die just like that and let Taehee get away scot-free!

***

“Boss, full tank!”

…

“A total of 400 yuan.”

…

In a daze, Kim Taehyung heard a strange conversation.

He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt heavy. He couldn’t open them for a while.

Then, the sound of a steam whistle reached his ears. Taehyung felt his body sway. Someone pushed his shoulder, and a young and pleasant omega’s voice softly rang in his ear. “Taetae, are you still sleeping? We’ll reach Ulsan City in half an hour. It’s time to wake up.”

Taehyung didn’t find his eyelids so heavy anymore.

He opened his eyes. Since his head faced sideways, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw the beads of heavy rain on the glass window. The stunned Taehyung turned around and saw a beautiful face he would never forget even if he died.

That face was exactly the same as his. It was Kim Taehee’s face!

As he looked at taehee, who was only 23 years old, Taehyung’s mind went blank for a moment. He looked out of the window at the pitter-patter of the rain. In his mind, he repeatedly replayed the scenes of Taehee torturing him...
