Thorns Of My Second Life

1

The music of high-end hotel wedding sounded,and the huge steps clearly reflected on Kim taehyungs' sorry state,behind this door,shin hye-rin and his fiancée Lee sungho,were holding the wedding.Inside there were laughter and roasts,outside there was disheveled Kim taehyung.

"Beautiful bride,are you willing to marry the man Infront of you? Be it poverty or wealth,sickness or health,and are you willing to stay by his side until the end?"

Hye-rin blinked and showed her signature smile "I do" she said shyly.

As the wedding was about to come to an end,Kim taehyung pushed open the door with all his might,like a ray of darkness tore through the light,the guests turned to look at him. When she saw taehyung,a trace of panic flashed across hye-rin face,she didn't expect taehyung to attend the wedding. She had thought the humiliation yesterday would've caused him to kill himself and prevent future trouble,but she has actually underestimated him.

The guests were already discussing who this naked man was.

"I had he is the son of the shin family that was replaced,he and hye-rin were swapped at birth."

"I didn't expect him to be as shameless as to appear at his sister's wedding like that"

"It's exactly as the rumours say!"

"He brought this upon himself,look at his nudity, walking without shame......"

Amidst the harsh discussion, taehyung walked straight to the bride.

Hye-rin felt guilty and retreated back in fear,sungho also stopped taehyung in disdain,not letting him touch the pure and kind white lotus, hye-rin,it was as if he was a monster.

"Brother...why are you like this? Where did you go last night?I saw you leave with that man....I searched for you whole night but couldn't find you,,,,where are your clothes? it's too worrying!!"

Taehyungs' heart was already dead,he couldn't be bothered with her acting. He said coldly "Hye-rin,my good sister.... don't you know what happened? You're the one who arranged all of that and sent me unconscious and drugged to those people"

Hye-rin looked shocked,her acting was flawless,indeed she was a pretentious white lotus.

Sungho couldn't stand still and shouted at him

"You're still slandering your sister for your actions,if I hadn't changed hotels yesterday you would have climbed my bed!! I still don't know what you're thinking"

The guests had the gossip and the whispers became unbearable.

The shin couple seemed to have suffered great embarrassment,Shin jae-gon shouted "you don't deserve to attend your sister's wedding get lost!!!"

Taehyungs' heart trembled "your adopted daughter sent four hooligans to assault me yesterday,but I didn't think I'd be told to get lost by my biological father"

Shin ji-hye face turned pale and she slapped taehyung on the face

"What nonsense are you talking about you ill-bred thing!! You're shameless and you're blaming your sister"

That's right.... taehyung sneered...how could hye-rin? A little rabbit,there beloved daughter do such a thing.... only he,who was of lowly birth was capable.

"Yes I was born lowly,what were you doing when I was replaced?"

"Your hye-rin,stole my life,the one who should be standing there should be me!! Your biological child"

Jae-gon couldn't listen anymore and kicked taehyung in the stomach,he staggered and fell.

The woman with heavy make-up behind him was in a hurry to dodge and broke her thin heels which ended up stuck in taehyungs' forearm.Taehyung didn't mind the pain....what was there to be afraid of now?

There was no heartache in jae-gons' eyes,only pure disgust,he didn't expect his son to not look like a human.

The woman's sticky voice sounded

"How unlucky...my shoes are dirty"

"So what if your shoes are dirty,my body has long been poisoned by missing hye-rin,there's no way to wash my body"

"Poison?"

"Otherwise? Do you think the heel would've pierced my skin easily? I was already struggling at deaths door.... hye-rin don't they know your viciousness?"

Hye-rin blinked her big innocent eyes, although she took her sweet time dressing up today,she still didn't compare to the pale taehyung Infront of her.

"Y-you....You're slandering me!! I've always treated you like my own brother.....you ate the poison yourself,it has nothing to do with me!!!"

Realising she had lost composure, hye-rin took deep breaths, returning to her usual self,she said gently "Brother,I know you're jealous of me and have secretly been liking sungho,I can give you anything but I can't give him to you. You can't hate me like this right?is there a point in lying like this?"

"i did eat the poison myself,I thought you were doing this for my own good. There's slow acting poison in the supplements you give me everyday, I've been consuming it for eight years,you might as well kill me!!"

He thought he wouldn't hurt anymore,but helplessness and pain swept through him like  a storm.

He knew that he had been schemed against and humiliated,he knew he had been poisoned and harmed,but his biological parents were still cold.

Taehyung thought of his grandmother in the slums. Although she was sick and had very little when she was awake,she would still protect him. She would still save the very little she had and bought him a school bag that everyone had and repaired his old shirt till there were no visible patches. However,she died early.

"Grandma,I can see you soon"

Taehyungs' indifferent expression softened slightly and she smiled warmly

"he's lying!!"

"he's still smiling, he's a jinx!! Look at what he did to hye-rins' wedding"

"Taehyung you lying scum!"

Taehyung opened his beautiful azure eyes that were filled with anger. After being a yes-man in the shin family for so long this was the first time he was looking at them like this. Jae-gon was forced Into a corner by him.

"Do you know I'm your biological child or not? I've suffered in the slums for so long,have you ever searched for me,when hye-rin fell sick at the age of six,you knew she wasn't your biological child. Have you ever looked for me?"

"We brought you over and raised you for so many years!! We didn't let you down!!" Jae-gon snapped fiercely

"I just wanted a little light.just a little.why are you so cruel to me?"

"I didn't ask for anything,just a little love..."

"Do you think of me as a family? I'm just a nanny,a manservant..."

"When you guys came to pick me,I was so happy.... finally...I have someone to love me...."

"But why did you give me hope? Why did you look for me? Why did you bring me back."

"My life is not worthy. It's really not worthy, it's dirtying your eyes"

He was barely breathing but his voice responded through the entire hall making everyone fall silent. The cleaning lady by the side pitied him and looked at the shin family in disdain.

"Are you done fooling around? You've already angered grandpa to death...do you want to anger dad to death?" Hye-rin finally broke the silence

The corners of taehyungs' mouth twitched,there she goes doing it again. She really loved acting.

"Tae-ah,I'm begging you, don't provoke dad on purpose. Come at me. You're dissatisfied with me. Tell me. Don't embarrass the entire family on such an occasion." There was gentleness in hye-rins' voice that suited the elegance of a rich family daughter making her words more convincing.

"That's right!! It was taehyung who angered old master shin last time,he doesn't know what's good for him!!" A voice sounded from the crowd

It didn't matter anymore,who were they? Who were they to judge? Taehyung wouldn't cause anymore trouble.

Taehyung turned his head slightly and smiled "what else?"

"I beg you to treat mom and dad better. No matter how much you hate me,even if you snatch brother sungho away from me,I won't say anything, really I beg you" hye-rin voice became more sincere, taehyung heinous persona stood tall again.

Taehyung smiled and turned to leave the hotel,aside from blood tied,he wanted nothing to do with this family again.

He had lived in the slums and even after being brought back as the biological son,he was stamped and dragged in the mud again and again.

"What are you going to do?" Sungho seemed to be angered with the thought of taehyung coveting him, he tried to stop the culprit so he can cut ties with him completely lest he was pestered again.

Having been in the slums for years,it was hard to live by without being ruthless, taehyung turned around, pulling off the heel on his arm and pierced it on sunghos' thigh. Sungho instantly let out a piercing scream like a terrified chick.

Taehyung glanced coldly at the owner of the heel "your heel isn't dirty anymore,I washed it with the blood of a noble"

"Security come and arrest this lunatic!!" Ji-hye shouted for security and pointed at taehyung.

"I'm a lunatic? Hahahaha.... I'm like my grandmother in the slums" taehyung laughed coldly "even if she's a lunatic, she's a thousand times better than any of you"

"You're really crazy!!" The lee family also shouted in frustration "in-law are you going to watch your crazy son kill mine!!"

With sunghoo Injured,the lee family flew into a rage as if they wanted to overturn the roof.

"Kill her!! Kill this lunatic!! Aren't you going to care? This lunatic you raised dared to raise his filthy hands on my precious child!!"

"My son has never suffered like this....woo woo .....you must compensate us!! Someone call the doctor what are you all looking at!!!"

Mrs Lee was furious such a good day turned out like this,she even pulled ji-hye aside to ask her to discipline her "crazy" son

Ji-hye panicked,in taehyungs' current state,she wouldn't dare approach him let alone discipline him

The Lee's voices became louder and louder, ji-hye stomped her feet towards taehyung, raising her palm to slap him,not only was she blocked but taehyung threw her to the floor

Crack!

He wouldn't let anyone manipulate or harm him

Jae-gon accused loudly "KIM TAEHYUNG!! she's your mother!!"

Taehyung sneered again "is that so? My mother is already dead,you have nothing to do with me,and have no rights to criticise me"

Hye-rin squeezed out here tears "tae-ah are you going to treat mom like this? I'll leave the shin family and give you everything just don't treat mom and dad like this"

"Tae-ah I'll fight for your forgiveness,I won't do anything to you....just don't be stubborn okay...."

Hye-rins' voice was still so weak and touching but taehyung felt it was ironic,he hoped that she would not use such trucks anymore....

In the past he would swallow his anger for there reputation but not now. Not ever

"Tae-ah answer me okay..."

Hyerin was still acting pitiful when in the next second, taehyung pulled her back revealing the dagger in her sleeve,it was short and light... taehyung pressed it against hye-rins' neck "Move again and I'll kill you"

Hye-rin was frozen in shock by the sudden change.

She had teased taehyung for so many years and set traps everywhere,none of them had ever failed...she didn't expect to be in such a situation today

The ruthless and decisive taehyung no longer looked like she could bully him,,,,,he actually looked so valiant and heroic..

He looked so calm but had an unapproachable aura, everyone was afraid

Hye-rin knew that her life was in his hands if she wasn't careful.....she gasped at the thought

Seeing this ji-hye shouted panicked..."Where are the bodyguards? Where are the bodyguards? Save my rin rin"

Taehyung exerted force with his hand and the blade cut through her skin. Causing blood to flow from hye-rins' neck

The security guards looked at each other not knowing if they should enter or retreat

Hye-rin trembled "please...let me go ..I don't want to die..."

"Did you let me off? Did you let me off even when I treated you sincerely and didn't want anything in return?" Taehyungs' voice was filled with anger

He knew he didn't have much time to love,he would only live up to his name if he pulled the culprit along...

Taehyung slashed hye-rins' face multiple times.. ji-hyes' heart aches that she almost fainted

She didn't expect taehyung to do this...what if it left a scar?

"This cut is for me, it's been eighteen years since you gave me a scar and it's been firm on my face,I'm making you pay it back!!" Taehyung had never felt so happy

He was returning his sufferings one by one

The guests were all stunned by the scene Infront of them. They could not imagine what kind of experience could make the beautiful boy Infront of them to become like this

It was the hatred,the hurt that made him sober

Taehyung had never felt so alive....he knew what he wanted and what hurt him

The cold knife on her neck and the hot sting of the wounds on her face made hyerin want to struggle again

"Brother let me go,,I promise I won't pursue the matter. Mom dad and I will go back to treating you like before,Let's be a harmonious family okay? Brother let me go!!"

These words made taehyung sneer "like before? You want to harm me like before?"

"It's not that..."

"Hye-rin,please get this straight.You,my so called family,have made it do that I don't have many days left to live,the doctor said it will be most half a year. What do you owe me?"
