Betrayed by his boyfriend, he turned around and married his vegetative uncle.
Unexpectedly, his uncle spoiled him.
Kim Taehyung was forced to marry a bigshot by his stepmother as his father's company was on the verge of bankruptcy. There was a catc...
Soon after, Jungkook opened his eyes and blew out the candles on the cake.
The curtains were pulled back, and light flooded the room once more.
"What did you wish for, Jungkook?" Ye-jun asked with a grin.
"Do you always reveal your birthday wishes to people?" Jungkook countered.
The room burst into laughter.
Jungkook cut a slice of cake and placed it in front of Taehyung.

"You should eat the first slice," Taehyung said as he pushed the cake back to him.
"I can't eat that much," Jungkook replied.
He picked up a fork, took a bite out of the slice, and pushed it back to Taehyung.
It was as if they were immersed in their own world, separate from the rest of the room.
The crowd began to roar and make fun of them.
"Should we start calling Miss Kim Mrs. Jeon now?"
"Why don't you give it a try? I don't think the boss would mind!"
"Hahaha! Miss Kim wouldn't mind either, right?"
Taehyung was so embarrassed and uncomfortable that his ears and the back of his neck turned red.
"Quit it, all of you," Jungkook ordered.
"Sure, sure... Let's eat cake!"
The cake was moved to the other side of the table, sliced up, and distributed.
Once they were done with the cake, lunch officially began.
"Would you like some wine, Miss Kim?" Ye-jun asked as he held up a bottle of wine.
taehyung shook his head and said, "Water is good enough for me."
"We can't have that! What about juice or a glass of milk?"
"Water is fine."
Taehyung felt a little dizzy.
It was likely due to the fact that he had woken up too early that morning.
On top of that, since everyone else was drinking, the faint scent of alcohol permeated the entire room.
After Ye-jun poured Taehyung a glass of water, he noticed that he was not eating.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable, Miss kim? There's no need for that. Everyone here has known Jungkook for a long time. We're like a band of brothers!" Ye-jun said in an attempt to help Taehyung relax.
Taehyung lifted his heavy eyelids and said truthfully, "That's not it. I'm just feeling a little tired after all of that cake."
Ye-jun shot to his feet and said warmly, "I'll take you to the guest room to rest."
Jungkook placed his hand on top of his that was resting on the table,feeling quite jealous and poked his tongue into his inner cheeks and stared straight at Ye-jun, and said, "I'll take him."
Someone yanked ye-jun away and dropped him back in his seat.
Ye-jun was a mess of laughter and tears. "Don't forget to come back! I still plan on having a drink with you, Jungkook!"
Taehyung withdrew his hand from Jungkook's warm grasp not knowing how to react around others and said, "The waiter can take me. You stay and eat."
"I'll take you," Jungkook insisted in an especially stubborn tone.
Taehyung felt that there was something different about him after the accident.
He used to despise his domineering and obsessive behavior, but he now found himself unable to refuse him.
He knew that no matter how bad he looked, he would never hurt him.
Taehyung wheeled Jungkook out the door, and the two quickly disappeared from the room.
"Who would've thought that the boss could be so caring toward a guy? I always thought that he had no interest in mens at all!"
"He just never met the right woman before this. Kim Taehyung's got him wrapped around his finger!"
"Are you sure it isn't the other way around? Why would he knit him a sweater otherwise? I doubt many people are willing to do that nowadays."
"What are you guys going on about?" Ye-jun exclaimed, interrupting the heated debate. "They're hooked on each other. I bet Jungkook's developed feelings for Taehyung, and Taehyung's started to pay more attention to him, too... If Taehyung decided to be a little more selfish, Kim Industries wouldn 't have gone bankrupt. Jungkook wanted to give him three hundred million dollars to help, but he rejected it. Would any of you be able to refuse that amount of money?"
Everyone shook their heads violently.
"No wonder the boss likes him so much. He might never find someone who treats money like it's nothing but sh*t!"
"Watch your mouth! What are you doing talking about sh*t while we're eating?!"
"Hahaha! Let's bet on whether or not Jungkook's coming back to lunch," Ye-jun proposed. "I bet he won't!"
The rest of the room agreed and said, "I bet the same."
How were they supposed to carry on with a bet like this?
