The Awakening of a Rascally Wife
5
The sound of running water trickled from the bathroom—Jungkook was showering. Taehyung sat by the bed, lost in thought. He felt he had done exceptionally well today!
His relationship with Jungkook had taken a significant step forward. All thanks to his willingness to "seek advice humbly."
But it was too early to celebrate.
He had to plan ahead. He pulled out a brand-new notebook. And wrote deliberately—
Jeon Taehyung (omega)
「Remember: Build a good relationship with Jungkook!」
Jeon Taehyung (omega)
(If I were ever controlled by the plot again, perhaps seeing this note would snap me back to reality.)
The good news was, Jungkook had said he didn’t find him annoying.
Jeon Taehyung (omega)
(That was a friendly signal.)
Jeon Taehyung (omega)
(A sign of acceptance)
He intended to keep pushing forward, making their relationship more natural and harmonious. In the bathroom, the water stopped.
Taehyung swiftly tucked the notebook away.
And slipped under the covers.
Three months into their marriage, they shared a bed but kept to their own sides, like two rivers that never crossed.
At first, he had found it a little strange, but over time, he realized Jungkook barely moved in his sleep—so still it was as if he wasn’t even there. Gradually, he forgot about the discomfort.
Taehyung decided to wake up early the next day, using those morning moments to bridge the gap between them.
Snuggling deeper into the blanket, he closed his eyes with a determined smile.
Taehyung woke up half an hour earlier than usual. Rubbing his eyes, he saw the impeccably suited man standing sideways, fastening his wristwatch.
Once done, he turned toward the bedroom door. Taehyung sprang up like a carp leaping from water, Hearing the noise, Jungkook glanced back.
Their eyes met.
Taehyung's naturally curly hair was slightly tousled from sleep.
He hastily smoothed it down.
Just as he was about to greet him with a cheerful "Good morning!"—
Jungkook had turned and left.
Without so much as an extra glance.
Jeon Taehyung (omega)
(Just… walked away!?)
Staring at the shut door, Taehyung ruffled his hair again:
Jeon Taehyung (omega)
"Ughhh, I still woke up too late!"
Jungkook hadn’t gone far. Hearing the commotion from the room, his steps paused briefly.
A flicker of something unreadable passed through his cold, dark eyes.
But it vanished just as quickly.
The next second. He lowered his gaze indifferently and strode off.
Though Taehyung hadn’t succeeded in using those morning moments to get closer, he consoled himself—at least his self-awareness was intact!
As long as he wasn’t stripped of that, there would be plenty of opportunities.
That in itself was good news~
In high spirits, Taehyung got ready for work.
He worked as an assistant producer at the TV station
His daily tasks were mundane—tagging along with senior producers for shoots, attending press conferences, guiding artists through rehearsals, or staying in the office to draft show proposals and organize footage
Today, he didn’t have any outdoor assignments. Passing by the convenience store downstairs, he grabbed an onigiri for breakfast
The store was running a Friday promotion—buy an onigiri or sandwich, add a drink for just one yuan extra. He picked up a carton of yogurt with a fresh expiry date
The moment he reached his desk, his colleague Hyunjin wailed dramatically:
Hyunjin (omega)
"Taehyung, you’re eating just an onigiri again? How can someone so slim eat so little? You’re making us slightly chubby folks feel terrible! I swear, competing with beauties like you is the death of me!"
With that, he tossed a bag of nuts at Taehyung.
Hyunjin (omega)
"Eat! You better eat it!"
Jeon Taehyung (omega)
**caught it effortlessly, grinning
"Thanks for the snack~"
Another colleague across the way, brewing floral tea, chimed in
Hyung Sik (Omega)
"Little beauty Tae, come over here! I just made some five-red tea—great for replenishing qi and blood. Have a cup!"
Since childhood, the most common compliment Taehyung received was "little beauty." His features were striking yet soft—rosy lips, fair skin, and a lively cheerfulness that made people feel good just looking at him. As a result, he got along well with everyone wherever he went.
Jeon Corporation headquarters
The work atmosphere here was a stark contrast to the TV station
Department heads filed into the CEO’s office to report project progress with clockwork precision.
Fang Assistant knocked and entered, placing the afternoon’s meeting schedule neatly on the desk.
Under the leadership of Jungkook—a man who operated like a precision instrument—every employee at Jeon Corporation worked with flawless efficiency, not daring to deviate even slightly
Three years ago, Jungkook had officially taken over the company
At first, there had been murmurs of doubt from the board. But as he expanded the corporation’s reach, swallowing rival enterprises one after another, the skepticism faded
Yet the man at the center of power remained perpetually solemn and composed. As if, being the helm of Jeon Corporation, he had to remain eternally rational, eternally correct—flawless, so no one could criticize him.
He was a mute, a shame to his family.
So the only way forward was to work relentlessly, becoming the family’s "veil of honor," leaving no room for reproach
His ambition and methods were laid bare for all to see. Now, when people spoke of Jungkook, rather than lamenting "what a pity he can’t speak," they led with "what an extraordinary man."
