EPISODE - 4
The days after the wedding were filled with whispers among the servants
They saw Taehyung waking up early, helping the staff, checking factory reports, and staying humble
Meanwhile, Jungkook would sleep late, throw tantrums, and avoid Taehyung completely
TAEHYUNG
(Knocked gently on the bedroom door, holding a tray)
TAEHYUNG
(softly) Jungkook-ssi… breakfast is ready. Please eat something before you leave
JUNGKOOK
(Stood there in a silk robe, glaring)
JUNGKOOK
(mocking) Ah, my dear husband playing housewife now? How cute
TAEHYUNG
(calmly)I just don’t want you to leave on an empty stomach
JUNGKOOK
(snatching the tray and tossing it onto the table) Don’t act like you care. You’re just trying to impress my grandfather
TAEHYUNG
(quiet sigh) That’s not true
JUNGKOOK
(smirking) You think I’ll ever accept you? Let me make this clear, Kim Taehyung — you may have forced your way into my family, but you’ll never force your way into my heart
He brushed past Taehyung and slammed the door behind him
TAEHYUNG
(Stood silently, picking up the spilled spoon from the floor, his eyes filled with quiet pain)
Dae-sung held a business dinner at the mansion, inviting influential families
Taehyung greeted guests politely, bowing and speaking with grace
Jungkook, in contrast, sat at the table with Seo Joon-ho, laughing loudly, sipping wine
One of the guests smiled at Taehyung
Guest:
“Chairman Jeon, your new grandson-in-law is very respectful. You’re fortunate.”
JEON DAESUNG
(nodding with pride) Indeed. Taehyung is a man of character
Hearing this, Jungkook’s eyes narrowed. He stood suddenly, raising his glass
JUNGKOOK
(mocking loudly) Character? Oh yes, our Taehyung is full of character. He’s so perfect, maybe he should be the Chairman’s real grandson instead of me
TAEHYUNG
(Jaw tightened, but he said nothing)
JEON DAESUNG
(furious, slamming his cane) Jungkook ,Sit down and stop embarrassing yourself
JUNGKOOK
(grinning bitterly, sitting down) Of course, Grandfather. Anything you say
The dinner continued awkwardly
That night, Taehyung sat alone in the garden, gazing at the moon. His heart whispered
TAEHYUNG
💭 Why must he hate me so much? I only wanted peace…
Jungkook staggered into the bedroom, half-drunk. Taehyung was still awake, reading reports
JUNGKOOK
(taunting) Why aren’t you sleeping, perfect husband? Studying how to steal more of my grandfather’s praise?
TAEHYUNG
(calmly closing the file) I’m not stealing anything. I’m just trying to help
JUNGKOOK
(leaning close, voice sharp) Help? Do you know what I want? I want you gone. Out of my house. Out of my life
TAEHYUNG
(quietly) I can’t. Your grandfather—
JUNGKOOK
(cutting him off, laughing bitterly) My grandfather, always my grandfather! What about me? Don’t my feelings matter?
JUNGKOOK
(Eyes softened for a second, but he quickly masked it with anger)
JUNGKOOK
(whispering coldly) One day, Taehyung… I’ll make you regret marrying me
JUNGKOOK
(He pushed past him and collapsed on the bed, turning away)
TAEHYUNG
(Sat back down, staring into the darkness)
In Tokyo, Soo-jin barged into their small apartment, waving a letter.
SOOJIN/kook/gguk mo
(excited) Gguk Do you know what this says? Your brother Jungkook has married! And not just anyone — the grandson of Jeon Dae-sung’s most trusted friend
GGUK
(looking up from his books, shocked) Jungkook… married? Without telling me?
SOOJIN/kook/gguk mo
(snorting) Why would he tell you? You’re nothing to that family. But maybe this is our chance
GGUK
(frowning) Chance? Omma, please don’t scheme—
SOOJIN/kook/gguk mo
(cutting him off) Don’t be naïve , If Jungkook is married into power, then you must claim your share too. Otherwise, we’ll rot in this cramped place forever
GGUK
(quietly, shaking his head) I don’t want wealth. I just… I just miss him. I want to see him again
Soo-jin scoffed and turned away, but Gguk sat silently, clutching the letter, his heart aching.
JUNGKOOK
(Slipped on the stairs)
While storming out of the house
Taehyung, who had been following, caught him before he could fall
TAEHYUNG
(worried) Careful You could have hurt yourself
JUNGKOOK
(staring, breathless for a moment) …Why did you catch me?
TAEHYUNG
(softly, looking into his eyes) Because… you’re my responsibility now
For a brief second, Jungkook’s anger faltered. His heart skipped, but then he pulled away harshly
JUNGKOOK
(cold voice) Don’t pretend to care. You’re not my husband, Taehyung. You’re my prison
He stormed off into the rain, leaving Taehyung drenched, watching him go with silent sorrow
