《Rebellious Spouse {T.K}》Chapter - 3
Advertisement
It was usual day in kim mansion, everyone left to work hours ago. Yejin and Somin was in kitchen preparing for lunch the house helps assisting them.
Somin thought it would be a perfect time to say the thing that she has been wanting to since few months now.
"Um! Mom.. Taehyung is 26 now.. We had jungmin when jongin oppa was 26.. Don't you think it's time to find perfect spouse for Taehyung?", she said cautiously using jungmin as an example.
"Hmm", the lady of the house just hummed, continuing her work.
"Um! If you say I can talk to my friend. Her sister is really pretty, educated and graceful, perfect for our family", she continued hesitantly but didn't show it to the older.
"His father and I will decide that somin not you", yejin said casually and somin held herself back to grit her teeth.
"Yes of course mom.. I was just saying", she said faking her politeness to which yejin just nodded.
"Taehyung is young and by the grace of god really handsome and gentleman. He is too soft and kind for his own good, mom. It really scares me what if some gold digger manipulate him and he demand to marry that woman or man..and what if that person is a lowlife and doesn't match our status, mom", somin said side eyeing the elder kim.
Yejin stopped her hands movement, processing the other's words, staring at void. Somin got excited internally and continued to manipulate the older lady.
"We can't blame him. People like that use their charm and being the kind hearted man, taehyung might forget his family ethics and may want to do love marriage which is restricted.... Also it's about his life too. Poor tae's life will be destroyed if he marry any wrong person", she continued faking her sympathy.
Yejin exhales shakily thinking his dear son's life destroying because of a mere lowlife. No she can't let that happen, she won't let that happen.
"Take care of this dish.. I will be back", yejin said and left the kitchen not noticing the devilsh smirk forming on somin's pretty face.
She wants taehyung to marry someone of her preference because then that person will listen to her and she can finally rule over the kim's house hold.
Yejin knocked on their home library where hyunbin was reading a book peacefully. Upon getting the permission, she walked in with a restless expression.

"What happened?", hyunbin asked keeping the book aside when he noticed his wife's fidgety posture.
"Yeobo! I am worried about my tae. He is really soft and kind what if someone try to snatch him from us", she said desperately making the older kim frown.
"What? Taehyung is not a child that someone will snatch him away, yejin-ah", hyunbin retorted.
"Noo you aren't understanding.. What if some slut- I mean some gold digger try to manipulate him..", she reasoned.
"I know my son. He won't go against me or any of us.. So don't talk rubbish", hyunbin said taking the book again.
"No.. My heart is not at peace, please..find a perfect spouse for my Tae and fix his wedding. I don't want to take any risk", she said in finality.
Hyunbin sighed at his restless wife, he held her hands and tried to calm her down who was at the verge of crying.
"Relax, yehin-ah.. Okay we will look for a perfect spouse if that's what make your heart at peace, alright. I am worried for him too but I wanted to give him a little more time but it's okay, he has to get married today or tomorrow, anyway", hyunbin assured his wife who is a high pressure patient, too much stress can led her to fall sick.
"Yess", she sighed resting her head on her husband's chest.
"I will talk to some agencies or my friends, alright", hyunbin further added.
"Yes.. I will do the same", yejin smiled receiving a small one in return.

It's been two months, jungkook came back to korea. Minho wanted him to join the company and help his hyungs but he clearly refused saying he has his own passion.
Of course that led to usual argument between the mother and son as she doesn't want him to be a model but like usual she has to give up. She can never win against his sassy replies.
He auditioned in few well known brands and they really liked him as he is really talented and got a project too. But the company will launch the product a little late. Jungkook was a new face and they wanted to create a hype before showcasing their product with the ethereal beauty.
Life was somewhat smooth for jungkook because he always did what his heart desired for and never listened to anyone.

But on the other hand it's not same with taehyung.
People might think, Kim Taehyung is the spoilt rich brat who doesn't care about anything considering the fact he was the youngest son. Oh! How wrong everyone is. Even after being a kim and the youngest, he was never spoilt or pampered. Yes his family loved him and gave him enough affection but at the same time there was a strict discipline he has to follow.
Initially, he was interested in music and wanted to be an Idol but his father clearly denied saying glamour industry is nothing but a dirty hell hole. Once you step inside there is no way back to have a peaceful life. No matter how much one try to stay away from scandal they won't be able to and it will effect the reputation of Kim corporation and family name.
As usual, taehyung obeyed and opt for business studies. He was even sent to Harvard University after his bachelor's degree to accomplish MBA. It was like a family rule. His father studied there, his hyung and noona too, thus, he needed to do the same.
He lived with his cousin Namjoon and his husband seokjin for three years. They are really close and Jin behaved like a second mother to him but unfortunately taehyung had to come back.
When he did just after his graduation, he was expected to join the company.
Well if anyone think, it's their own company so he was given the post on a golden tray, then that would be a biggest misconception.
Taehyung joined the company as an intern, completed his training period by working hard, his identity as a Kim was hidden until he was promoted to his current position. Needless to say the staff members were dumbfounded seeing the strict rule that taehyung had to follow even after being a kim.
Well taehyung doesn't remember, Jongin doing the same because as soon as he was graduated hyunbin retired giving his position to his eldest son as a CEO, also held a grand party. Taeri had to go through the training period but her identity wasn't hidden thus she got privileges from her trainer. But taehyung never take these things to his heart.
And now when taehyung was getting used to his inhumane schedule, his father dropped the bomb of his marriage. It's not fixed yet but he was told to be mentally prepared as they were looking for his spouse.
Not like he didn't want to marry it's just that, he don't know how to balance between his work and partner. Of course his partner would need his time and attention and it's his responsibility to keep his partner happy. He didn't say anything other than agreeing, not like he has a choice anyway.
But he was scared..

"Where are you going?", shinhye asked from the living room couch when she saw the youngest member of the family going out.
"To see my old friends, mom", jungkook said casually as he wore his boots. She walked towards him with the bowl of popcorn in hand.
"But your appearance look like you going to murder someone", shinhye exclaimed plopping some popcorn in her mouth as she leaned against the wall looking at her son.
"Well yeah.. My looks can easily kill anyone", jungkook said winking at the lady before tightening his shoe lace.
"So full of yourself", the other roller her eyes munching on popcorn.
"Why don't you try wearing elegant heels with some soft colored dresses.. It will look so good on you", shinhye suggested.
"Yeah everything looks good on me but that will make me look like an angel which I am definitely not", jungkook casually said, smirking.
"You have answer to every of my question, huh... Tell me something.. What will you do if your husband wants to see you in pretty clothes rather than these outfits you wear", shinhye asked curiously.
"Don't stress you pretty brain so much mom.. My husband will like me the way I am or else there's always an option", jungkook said grabbing his bag.
"And what is that option?", she quirked her brows.
"Divorce",
Jungkook ran out of the door laughing out loud, leaving behind a yelling shinhye who is so done with her own son.
"Come back before dinner, brat", that's the last thing jungkook heard before driving out of the gate, which made him chuckle.
