CHAPTER 4

When Tae returned to Jungkook's mansion, he was immediately taken to the hospital for a medical checkup by two doctors.

If he was ovulating, they would extract the eggs from his body. Otherwise, they would give him a shot to stimulate ovulation.

"There's no need to worry, Mrs. Jeon. This might hurt a little, but once you give birth to Mr. Jeon's child, your position in the Jeons will be secure," consoled one of the female doctors.

Tae lay on the bed as his heartbeat quickened.

"How long will it take to make that happen?"

"It's hard to say. If we're lucky, it would take three to four months. Otherwise, it might take forever," said the doctor. She then paused before adding, "You're young, so I'm sure this will go smoothly."

Once everything was over, Tae returned to Kook's mansion. As soon as he reached home, the first thing he did was check up on Jungkook.

He was lying motionlessly on the bed as usual, and he watched as a servant changed his clothes. The high-end bespoke pieces he wore looked more like burial clothes because of how pale his complexion was.

"When will you wake up?" Tae sighed.

Jungkook's eyelashes twitched slightly and he acted as if nothing had happened.

That evening, Tae emerged from the bathroom after a shower.

He sat by the bed, took out the new face cream he had bought that day, and massaged it onto his skin.

"Hey, Jungkook, do you want me to put some of this on you? The weather has been dry lately," Taehyung said as he walked over to Jungkook's side.

He sat on the edge of the bed, then spread the cream on Jungkook's face with his fingers.

Jungkook's eyes suddenly shot open. His eyes were a deep shade of amber, and they shone like gemstones.

The sparkle in his gaze shocked Tae so much that his breathing turned heavy.

His fingers continued to massage his cheeks gently as he mumbled to himself.

"I read online that the reason you've never had a girlfriend before is because of your body... But I don't think you're that bad! You have strong arms...and these muscular legs..."

Once he was done putting the cream on him, he patted his hands on Jungkook's arms and legs.

His touch was light enough that it would not hurt him.

However, Jungkook's response made his eyes widen instantly because he thought he heard the sound of a man's voice.

"Was that you, Jungkook? Did you say something just now?" Tae exclaimed as he sprung off the bed. His almond-shaped eyes stared intensely at him.

Jungkook stared back at him too.

There was something different about his gaze. When he used to open his eyes before, they were lifeless and empty. This time, the eyes staring at Taehyung had emotion in them, even if those emotions bore a hint of anger, hatred, and suspicion.

"Mrs. Min!" Tae cried as he rushed downstairs like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Mrs. Min, Jungkook's awake! He just spoke! He's really awake!"

His cheeks were flushed, his heartbeat was irregular, and his chest rose and fell rapidly.

Jungkook was awake.

Taehyung was sure that he was awake, because he had spoken to him in addition to opening his eyes.

Even though his voice was husky and he spoke slowly, it was threatening.

Jungkook had asked him, "Who are you?"

Taehyung's mind went blank at that moment.

Everyone around him had told him that he was going to die soon, so he had never thought about what he would do if he ever woke up.

Mrs. Min, the doctor, and the bodyguard rushed over upon hearing Tae's cry.

The mansion was filled with people half an hour later.

Everyone was in shock. None of them thought that Jungkook would ever wake up.

"I knew you would wake up, Jungkook!" Mrs. Jeon exclaimed through tears of happiness.

"It's good that you're awake now, Jungkook," said Junghoon. "You have no idea how worried all of us were, especially Mother. She was so upset that all of her hair turned gray."

After the doctor was done checking on Jungkook's condition, he turned to Mrs. Jeon and said, "This truly is a miracle! There were no signs of recovery when I checked on him last time. Now that Mr. Jeon can speak, we just have to follow up with rehabilitation treatment, and he will be back to normal in no time."

The good news came so suddenly that Mrs. Jeon could not bear it. Her legs buckled, and she fainted from shock.

Junghoon caught his mother and carried her out of the room.

The doctor, Mrs. Min and the bodyguard remained in the room while Tae stood at the door in stunned silence. He was too afraid to enter.

The chilling aura that Jungkook exuded upon regaining consciousness was terrifying.

He sat up with his back against the headboard, and his sharp eyes shot an icy glare at Taehyung.

"Who is he?" he said in a powerful, deep, and scornful voice.

The doctor was so scared that he did not dare to breathe too heavily.

Mrs. Min bowed her head and explained, "Master jungkook, he is the wife that Madam Jeon arranged for you while you were sick. His name is-"

Jungkook's thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was dull and indifferent as he spoke, "Get him out of here!"
