Chapter Three: Double Life Disaster
It was supposed to be one of those fake things you only see in dramas. A staged wedding, a photo op, and a polite goodbye.
But Kim Taehyung didn’t do low profile.
No, he rented a rooftop garden with string lights and imported roses. A violinist played as “Jieun” (aka Jungkook in a soft pink hanbok and very tight waist-cincher) walked down the aisle with trembling legs and absolutely no chill.
Taehyung stood at the end, cool and composed in a tailored cream suit. He gave Jungkook a soft, practiced smile — the same one he used when sealing million-dollar deals
Jungkook smiled back like someone who hadn’t slept in three days and was secretly wearing two pairs of socks to stuff his ankles
Kim Taehyung
Breath ( whispered)
They exchanged vows Taehyung’s PR team had written.
Then they kissed. Just for the cameras.
It was soft, brief, barely anything.
But Jungkook short-circuited.
Jeon Jungkook
(This man thinks he’s kissing my sister. I am my sister. But I’m also his assistant. And now I’m his wife? WHAT IS MY LIFE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Daytime: Assistant Jeon Jungkook.
Jungkook arrived at the company by 7:45 AM sharp, glasses on, suit crisp, papers organized. No one suspected a thing.
He kept his head down, managed Taehyung’s schedules, brought him coffee with the right milk froth ratio, and resisted the urge to scream every time Taehyung said, “My fake wife is so charming.”
Weekends and evenings, Jungkook transformed into Jieun. Wig on. Subtle makeup. Flowing clothes to hide his frame. High-pitched voice. Endless panic.
Taehyung would take him to dinners, charity events, even brunch with his grandmother
Grandma
Eat more, Jieun-ah,
Grandma would say, lovingly adding kimchi to Jungkook’s rice
Grandma
You're too skinny. Taehyung, are you feeding her?
Jeon Jungkook
(I’m feeding myself barely!)
Jungkook wanted to scream, but smiled sweetly instead
Jungkook
Yes, he’s wonderful, Grandma.
Taehyung would squeeze his hand under the table .
Kim Taehyung
( Whispered) You’re killing this. So believable.
Jeon Jungkook
(I’m literally living a lie)
Jungkook thought, biting into grilled fish while thinking about company emails he hadn’t replied to.
Jungkook’s phone buzzed constantly.
Kim Taehyung
Where’s the new quarterly report? Also, want to get dinner as husband and wife tonight. Cancel my meeting
HR DEPARTMENT
Hey Jungkook, can you confirm Mr. Kim’s calendar for next week?
Grandma
Jieun-ah, I knit you socks for winter! They’re pink with tiny hearts!
He was one mistaken wig away from full-on identity exposure.
One time, Taehyung caught him yawning in a meeting.
Kim Taehyung
Rough night? (with a smirk.)
Jeon Jungkook
umm yeah kinda
Jungkook wanted to dissolve into air.
Jungkook went to the rooftop to get fresh air and sighed
Jeon Jungkook
( WHAT THE HELL I'M DOING?)
Jeon Jungkook
( I'M SURELY GOING TO LOOSE MY JOB IF HE KNOW!!)
Jeon Jungkook
What do you want?
Jeon Jieun
Is this the first question you ask your Noona?
Jeon Jungkook
Why did you call?
Jeon Jieun
I miss you of course
Jeon Jieun
How's married life treating you?
Jeon Jungkook
Don't even talk about that
Jeon Jungkook
I'm in this mess because of you
Jeon Jieun
Come on 10000 million is coming...you should be happy
Jeon Jungkook
Is money worth of my life?
Jeon Jieun
Don't be dramatic
Jeon Jieun
You're not dying
Jeon Jungkook
I'm barely surviving this shit Noona
Jeon Jungkook
And I don't know how long I can continue to live like this
Jeon Jungkook
But one thing for sure...if he knows .... I'll end up loosing my job
Jeon Jieun
come on , he is not that cruel
Jeon Jungkook
You don't know him
Jeon Jungkook
Forget about me
Jeon Jungkook
Jimin hyung? is he still mad at you?
Jeon Jungkook
Well then...I need to head back to work
Jeon Jieun
See ya at home , bunny!
Jeon Jieun
You're coming home tonight right?
