He mustered his strength to stand up and staggered out of the room.
After leaving room 615, he began putting his back-up plan into action.
He brought a room card out of his pocket and unlocked room 639 across from the original room. He had prepared this beforehand.
A man with a similar figure as him was waiting inside room 639. He was dressed in the same clothes as him and his face was covered with a layer of medicinal paste. When he saw taehyung, he nodded and headed straight into room 615.
Taehyung smirked. Given that his second sister, jennie, had created such an elaborate trap for him, he naturally wouldn’t waste his sister’s efforts.
He would go along with his second sister’s wishes and allow jungkook to personally witness ‘taehyung's’ betrayal.
Taehyung held his breath in anticipation and caught the noise of a man’s footsteps in the hallway.
He heard someone knocking against room 615’s door. A moment later, jaewon's voice could be heard. “taehyung, I’m coming in!” Soon after, he heard the door opening and closing shut.
Taehyung sat down on the bed in room 639 and turned his phone on. He first tapped on WeChat and saw that jungkook had sent him a message fifteen minutes ago.
[Where are you?]
He smiled lightly.
Jungkook must have received a message from jennie about his meeting with a man at the hotel.
He actually reached out on WeChat to ask him about his whereabouts? It seemed that he was improving.
Perhaps, if he responded right now, jungkook would believe him.
However, just as eunwoo had said, the position of Madam Jeon wasn’t an easy place to occupy.
The jeon family was powerful and influential. They had too many enemies. Jungkook was also unbelievably handsome and was one of the wealthiest men in this world. There were countless women waiting to fill up the space after forcing him aside.
Any careless scheme from a third party could easily cause rifts between the two of them.
Although their relationship had improved significantly, it couldn’t be discounted that he had avoided and hated him for more than ten years.
The perception that he would leave him anytime wasn’t something that could be removed so easily.
He needed to work on building the trust between the two of them.
He wanted him to understand that even if he personally witnessed him with a man on the bed, it wouldn’t be the truth.
Taehyung resisted the urge to respond to jungkook's WeChat message.
He reached for the laptop that he had arranged to be kept on the bedside table and clicked on an application. The situation inside room 615 was instantly and clearly displayed on the screen.
“taehyung, I never thought you would send such a message to me.” jaewon climbed onto the bed in a hurry and embraced the man on the bed.
The man’s figure was similar to that of taehyung. He was dressed in the same clothes and had the same hairstyle. Even his face was covered in medicine. Thus, he did not suspect anything.
He confessed to him emotionally. “I knew from the start that you’ve always loved me the most!”
The man remained silent.
Jaewon immediately began taking advantage of him. He said affectionately, “Your figure has become really good ever since you lost weight. I really want to... will you give yourself to me?”
The man pretended to resist. In truth however, the drugs in the room left him weak and willing.
At the thought that he would soon possess jungkook's man, it wasn’t clear if it was due to the medicine or his own excitement, but jaewon's expression grew agitated. “taehyung, I love you, I love you!”
He tore his clothes open whilst expressing his feelings. “I was wrong. I made you suffer too much grievance by letting you stay by jungkook's side. In the future, let’s always be together behind his back, alright?”
He then took off his clothes. As he took in the sight of the man whose face was covered in a medicinal paste, perhaps he found it to be a little uncomfortable.
He reached for the light switch and shut it. The well-lit room instantly turned dimmed and was filled with a soft, red light. The atmosphere also turned ambiguous.
This hotel was a famous love hotel. Even the lights were specially chosen to meet the customers’ needs. All sorts of adjustments could be made to it.
Jaewon had been frustrated by his progress with taehyung. Hence, he did not waste any time...
Taehyung watched on his laptop as things developed further between jaewon and that man.
he shifted his gaze away in disgust.
Although jaewon's figure wasn’t poor, he was too skinny. Compared to jungkook's perfect, masculine and muscular figure, the difference was akin to that of heaven and earth.
It had been a long time since he watched an adult video. This live version wasn’t too bad.
At this moment, he heard a rush of footsteps from the hallway.
Following which, room 615’s door was kicked open with a loud bang.
Jungkook's tall and broad figure appeared right at the entrance.
When his sharp gaze landed on the couple on the bed, his frigid expression seemed to crack. A heavy murderous intent filled the room.
The ambiguous atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly.
Following which, a terrifying pressure filled the room. It was as though the death god himself was here.
Jaewon immediately rolled off the bed and stared at jungkook in fright. He spoke up with a trembling voice. “C... cousin, why are you here!”
The man on the bed also tugged the sheets over himself. He trembled in fear.
Jennie stood by the doorway and exclaimed in disbelief. “Third brother , you... why are you sleeping with jaewon? And, it seems like you’re already his!”
The actual taehyung was inside room 639. He watched as the events unfolded in room 615.
No wonder he felt as though he had forgotten something.
It turned out that jennie, had also appeared at the door.
In his previous life, he had been half-conscious on the bed when he nearly lost his body to eunwoo. His awareness faded in and out and he had failed to remember that jennie was, in fact, the person behind this ‘wonderful show’.
Now that things had developed till this stage, jennie naturally could not stand to remain behind the scenes any longer.
Jennie was really overjoyed that jungkook had caught taehyung's ‘betrayal’.
Jungkook had mysophobia. Regardless of whether or not taehyung himself was willing, as long as he slept with another man, he would surely disdain it.
Furthermore, when jungkook stepped into room 615, he would also be influenced by the aphrodisiac. He guessed that jennie planned to volunteer her own body for jungkook's use.
Sigh.
Taehyung exhaled heavily.
He suddenly felt the urge to show his second sister a thumbs up.
This scheme would not only ruin him entirely in front of jungkook and the Jeon family but would also grant his second sister the opportunity to climb into jungkook's bed.
It was indeed a good scheme to kill two birds with one stone.
Taehyung could feel jungkook's murderous intent even through the computer screen. With his personality, there was no way he could tolerate hin sleeping with another man.
Perhaps, he would even bring out his gun and kill the couple directly!
It was fine if jaewon died. The death of a bastard was no serious loss to this world.
However, the man was a prostitute whom he had paid to come here. To phrase things properly, he had employed this man to be here. He couldn’t allow him to die so easily.
He was about to stand up and head for the room to prevent jungkook from killing anyone.
However, he quickly noticed that the frightening, murderous intent in jungkook's eyes had disappeared.
He turned expressionless and did not reveal any emotions.
Jaewon was frightened that he would lose his life. He did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
He began carefully. “C... cousin. I’m sorry. I know that I was wrong. I shouldn’t have slept with hin. It was a mistake!”
He then pointed at the trembling man in anger and gritted his teeth. “It’s him! He seduced me! I didn’t want to come but he said that he was drunk. In the end, I decided to come by to check if he was okay. I didn’t expect that he would cling onto me and refuse to let go. He even used every possible method to seduce me. I... I really lost my rationality for a moment. Cousin, please forgive me!”
As jaewon spoke, he began crying in regret, pitifully.
Taehyung watched jaewon's change in attitude through the screen. His mouth fell open in disbelief.
He had been watching the surveillance cameras the entire time. The man on the bed did not seduce him at all, ok. He was the one who clung onto him refusing to let go. He even whispered sweet nothings to him and took his body.
In the end... where were the deep feelings that he was confessing to the man earlier?
The moment jungkook showed up, jaewon, this coward, shoved all the responsibilities on the man. And right now, jaewon believed that taehyung was the person on the bed.
Fuck!
This was the jaewon he had loved for the entirety of his previous lifetime? He was a bastard to this extent. He genuinely began questioning his tastes...
Please give him a pair of knives! He wanted to stab his own eyes!
“Cough...” he cleared his throat.
In this life, his eyes were bright and beautiful. He would not harm himself.
It was a pity that jaewon was frightened and did not pay attention. In fact, jungkook's expression had turned heavy because he had noticed that the man on the bed wasn’t taehyung.
Otherwise, would jungkook wait to listen to his nonsense? He would already have rewarded him with a bullet.
Jungkook's hearing was much stronger than that of normal people’s. He seemed to have heard a soft, coughing noise.
His cold gaze scanned the entire room before pausing on the pinhole camera behind the television. His gaze then turned complicated as he pursed his lips silently.
Taehyung's heart skipped a beat. Why did it feel as though jungkook had noticed the camera?
His eyes couldn’t be that sharp, could they?
He had carefully hidden the pinhole camera.
Jaewon saw that jungkook's anger seemed to have reduced and immediately assumed that his tears were working. With renewed fervour, he put more emotions into crying. “Cousin, you have to believe me. It was really taehyung who seduced me. I’m innocent.”
Jungkook's expressionless features instantly turned frigid cold. The dangerous aura also filled the room once more.
He gritted his teeth. “Did you think that the person next to you is taehyung?”
Jaewon felt his back turning cold in fright. He glanced at the quiet man suspiciously, “Isn’t he?”
When jennie heard this, she immediately shouted in disbelief. “How could it be anyone else but taehyung?”
If it wasn’t taehyung, all her efforts were wasted!
Jungkook's sharp eyes landed on her. “Why are you so certain it’s him?”
His words made it clear that he was suspicious of her. Jennie's heart skipped a beat in fright. She responded in embarrassment. “Look at his figure, his hairstyle, the clothes on the floor and the medicine on his face. Isn’t it obvious that it’s my third brother?”
At this moment, the man on the bed finally spoke up. “Mr. Kim has been especially well-known recently. He is also the great jungkook's fiancée. Isn’t it normal to want to imitate his hairstyle and clothes? I’m really not taehyung.” his employer had instructed him beforehand to say this.
The man’s voice was very mature and completely different from taehyung's. He then wiped the medicinal paste off.
Beneath the medicine, the face of a typical thirty years old man was revealed.
It actually wasn’t taehyung! Jennie's expression instantly turned poor. She clenched her fists tightly.
She had invested so much effort into this plan. In the end, taehyung still got his way out of it!
She was angered to death!
Wait, where was taehyung, then? Monkey had clearly brought him here, yet he was nowhere to be found?
Jennie began to feel apprehensive.
She immediately wanted to leave. However, as she took in jungkook's tall and broad figure, she could not bear to leave.
The room had been drugged. Regardless of it all, jungkook was already affected by it. He would soon lose his rationality.
This was her opportunity!
She refused to leave even if she was beaten to death.
Jaewon saw that the man he had just touched was actually a stranger. He finally realised that he had been fooled. “Who are you? Why did you trick me into coming here?”
“Who tricked you? You’re the one who didn’t clarify the situation...” The man replied mockingly. “Handsome, I didn’t expect your character to be this problematic. The moment things went wrong, you blamed it all on me.”
“You!” jaewon's expression was extremely poor.
The man fixed his hair and turned towards jungkook. “The only successor of the powerful and influential Jeon family...” he had clearly recognised his identity.
Jungkook's gaze turned sharp and unhappy. He was frightened into shrinking back.
However, he still spoke up shakily. “Sir, I only wanted to inform you that someone has drugged the room. This drug is extremely powerful. Once you inhale it, you’ll definitely lose your rationality. Furthermore, the drug will affect the body very rapidly. It’s too troublesome for you to look for another target. Why don’t you...”
He gathered his guts to volunteer himself. “Why don’t you put up with the slight discomfort. We can be a last-minute husband and wife...”
Jungkook's expression was filled with disgust.
He commanded sharply like a death god. “Scram!”
The man instantly had the feeling that if he did not leave now, he would lose his life here.
He was frightened into hastily picking up his clothes. He covered his nude figure carelessly and began putting his clothes on whilst running out the room. Within a few moments, he was gone.
Jungkook had seen through the entire situation. His frigid, sharp gaze landed on jaewon. “So you assumed that the man earlier was taehyung. Your guts aren’t small. You actually dared to have thoughts about taehyung!”
“I absolutely wouldn’t dare...” jaewon immediately knelt on the bed.
He did not pause to care for his image as he began kowtowing to plead for mercy. “Cousin, please let me off! I was wrong, I was really wrong!”
Jungkook glanced at his pitiful, naked figure as he grovelled for forgiveness. A hint of disdain appeared in his distant, cold eyes. “Even killing you would dirty my hands!”
Jaewon immediately cried with his nose dripping. “Thank you for your mercy, Cousin. I was really seduced by taehyung. If you don’t believe me, please look. These are the messages he sent me!”
He rolled off the bed and searched through the scattered clothes on the floor for his phone. There were several messages from taehyung's number. In the messages, he disdained jungkook and professed his love for jaewon. He also asked him to meet him in room 615 in this hotel.
Jungkook scanned the messages coldly. His jaw was clenched tightly and his figure was surrounded by a dark, enraged aura.
Based on his intelligence, he naturally believed that these messages did not come from taehyung himself.
What made him angry was that someone had intentionally schemed for taehyung to lose his body to jaewon. This could not be forgiven!
Jennie was about to shout, ‘Good!’ in response to jaewon's actions.
She was certain that jungkook would assume taehyung was a fickle man after reading these messages. Even if he had escaped this scheme and jaewon had not managed to touch him, his image in jungkook's mind would definitely be affected.
Before she could say anything to exaggerate the situation, jungkook's frigid cold gaze landed on her. “Why have you been standing outside the room? Did you know that the room has been drugged?”
Jennie had been worried that if she inhaled the drugs and jungkook refused to touch her, she would have to look for some other man to resolve the problem. Wouldn’t that be a significant loss for her?
She did not mind sleeping with other men secretly. However, she absolutely could not allow jungkook to know about it.
Otherwise, how was she supposed to climb onto the seat of Madam Jeon? Jaewon was considered an outsider in the Jeon family and was not even worthy of being called ‘CEO Jeon’. Even if he had a wife, the person would never be known as ‘Madam Jeon’.
In the Jeon family, jungkook's wife was the only person who had the right to be addressed as ‘Madam Jeon’.
“Of course not.” jennie appeared shy. “Earlier, Bai jaewon was in the middle of doing that... As a girl, and as a virgin, it was too embarrassing for me. I didn’t dare to enter.”
Her tone then changed and her expression appeared especially pitiful. “How could I have known that the room was drugged? You’ve misunderstood me!”
“Is that so?” The corner of jungkook's lips twitched upwards cruelly. “Was it also a coincidence that you were waiting for me outside the hotel?”
“I was shopping nearby and coincidentally met you.” jennie lifted the shopping bag in her hand. “Here are the new clothes I bought earlier. When I saw you entering the hotel... as you know well enough, I have strong feelings for you. I’ve loved you deeply since I was young. I saw that your expression wasn’t good and that you appeared to be in a rush. I only followed you out of curiosity.”
The cold mocking light in jungkook's expression worsened. His eyes were as sharp as a pair of knives. “You sure aren’t shy about using an excuse that would only fool a three years old.”
“I really didn’t lie to you.” jennie appeared as though she was on the verge of crying in grievance. “I was just curious...”
Jaewon also grew suspicious. “How could there be such a coincidence? You even met CEO Jeon right when he was on his way here.”
He narrowed his eyes. “Could it be that this entire matter of taehyung asking me here was planned by you?”
Jennie was flustered to death.
Even if this matter was truly done by her, she would never admit to it. “No... how can you wrong me like this! If I really did this, would I appear here for you guys to accuse me?”
“Hmph.” Bai jaewon was a relatively intelligent man.
His gaze shifted onto jungkook in fear before he glared at jennie. “Do you dare say that you didn’t take the risk to come here and climb into CEO Jeon's bed?”
“I... I didn’t.” jennie was gnashing her teeth in frustration now.
Admitting it wouldn’t do. Denying it wouldn’t help either.
If she admitted that she was taking the initiative to climb into jungkook's bed, she would appear to be too low.
But she feared that if she denied it, she would lose this opportunity.
Jungkook suddenly reached for jaewon's phone and immediately dialled taehyung's number.
Ring, ring, ring! Ring, ring, ring!
The ringtone played loudly from jennie's purse.
Jennie instantly turned pale. She deeply regretted not tossing taehyung's phone card away earlier.
Jaewon's eyes widened in anger. He raised his voice. “jennie. You cheap whore, it was really you!”
He did not mind her efforts to ruin taehyung. However, she had dragged him in it with her and nearly caused him to lose his life. She really deserved to die!
Jungkook's tall and broad figure seemed to be enveloped by an aura of death. His sharp, frigid gaze landed on jennie, appearing as though he was staring at someone who was already dead.
Compared to jaewon's frustration, jungkook's anger was a hundred times more frightening. Jennie's legs instantly turned weak. “CEO Jeon, I...”
“How did taehyung's phone end up in your hands?” jungkook gritted these words out coldly.
“I, I didn’t...” jennie brought her phone out. “This is my phone.”
What kind of person was jungkook? Of course, he easily guessed the answer to this matter. “The phone is yours. You made a new phone card with taehyung's number and tried to trick him into sleeping with jaewon?”
“I, I... it’s not like that...” jennie wanted to argue her way out of this.
However, she saw that jungkook's expression was dark to the point where it was nearly emitting smoke. She knew that she was done for.
She immediately turned and ran down the hallway, straight for the elevators. Out of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was the best.
But a bodyguard swiftly blocked her path. He held the collar of her clothes and lifted her up like a little chick. He then forcefully brought her back into the room.
“I’ve never wronged an innocent.” jungkook's voice did not contain any warmth.
He tossed jaewon's phone onto the bed in disdain and brought out a white handkerchief to wipe his hands. “Several days ago, taehyung mentioned that his identity card went missing in the Kim home. Did you visit the mobile store to make a brand new phone card under his number? Do you need me to retrieve the surveillance camera records of that time? Or, did you employ someone to do this for you? Did you think that I wouldn’t be able to force an admission?”
Jennie was terrified that jungkook would check the surveillance records. She had indeed employed a girl to make a new phone card for taehyung to hand it over to her.
She did not expect jungkook to even consider this tiny detail.
With the way things had developed, there was no longer any possibility of arguing her way out of this.
She copied jaewon's method and knelt down on the floor. “CEO Jeon, please forgive me. It was a moment of foolishness...”
Jaewon thoroughly understood this matter. He glared at jennie and scolded her ferociously. “You cheap whore! You implicated me with your foolishness!”
He changed his attitude briskly and clasped his hands together to beg jungkook. “Cousin, you’re insightful and attentive. You’ve also seen that I fell for jennie's scheme. I’m also a victim. There’s absolutely nothing between taehyung and I. The person I slept with earlier was only a stranger.”
Bye bye! Take care!
