The vows built on REVENGE
The grand church doors opened.
Jennie stepped inside in a breathtaking white wedding gown, her eyes shining brighter than the chandeliers above.
At the altar stood Kim Taehyung.
Handsome.
Calm.
Unreadable.
Everyone smiled.
Everyone believed it was a love story.
Only the groom knew...
It was revenge.
-
"Do you, Kim Taehyung, take Jennifer Kim to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
His answer was firm.
His heart was empty.
-
Married life wasn't what Jennie had imagined.
He barely looked at her.
"Taehyung! I made breakfast!"
"I'm not hungry."
"...But you haven't eaten since yesterday."
"I said I'm not hungry."
She smiled anyway.
-
"Mr. Kim, your wife is adorable."
Taehyung replied without even looking up,
"She's just my wife."
Jennie laughed awkwardly.
"See? He's always this serious."
Everyone laughed.
Only Jennie knew how much that sentence hurt.
-
One night...
Jennie accidentally burned dinner.
She pouted.
"I think the smoke alarm liked my cooking more than you."
For the first time...
Taehyung almost smiled.
"...You're unbelievable."
-
She kept loving him.
He kept pushing her away.
Until...
One locked drawer.
One old photograph.
One familiar surname.
And one truth that destroyed everything.
"...You're... his son?"
Silence.
Every fake smile...
Every gentle word...
Every promise...
Suddenly made sense.
"You married me..."
Her voice trembled.
"...just to take revenge on my family?"
Taehyung couldn't answer.
Because the answer...
Was yes.
-
The same man who once stood before God and promised,
"Till death do us part."
Had never intended to keep those vows.
But fate had one cruel joke left.
The day he finally realized...
He loved his wife-
Was the same day she stopped calling him...
"My husband."
He married her for revenge.
She married him for love.
