trapped in novel~
The last thing V remembered was the blinding glare of his phone screen~ his fingers flying across the keyboard in the comments section.
V
💬 ‘Pathetic! He’s just going to let her kill him~?? How can a person be so weak~?? FIGHT BACK~ YOU IDIOT!’
He had been furiously reading the final chapter of
"The Cold CEO's Substitute Husband~"
A novel so frustrating it made his blood boil.
The main character~ Kim Taehyung~ a man married to the cold CEO Jeon Jungkook~ did nothing but cry.
His own sister was having an affair with his husband and in the end~ the sister pushed him off the balcony.
And Taehyung~?? He just accepted it with tears in his eyes.
V~ orphan boy working two jobs just to pay his university fees had no patience for people who didn't fight for their own lives.
He threw his phone down in disgust~ the words "THE END" burning in his vision before he fell into an exhausted sleep.
A sharp~ stinging pain on his cheek jolted him awake.
unknown
Wake up~ you useless fool. Did you think fainting would gain you any sympathy~??
He wasn't in his cramped~ cheap dorm room.
He was lying on a cold marble floor in a room that looked like a palace.
A beautiful~ sharp-faced woman was standing over him~ her hand still raised from the slap.
Rage~ his old friend~ bubbled up instantly.
He snarled~ pushing himself up. His voice sounded different. Softer~ yet laced with a venom that felt new.
The woman looked stunned for a second~ then her expression twisted into a sneer.
unknown
Playing amnesia now~ Taehyung~?? It won't work on me. Jungkook isn't here to see your little performance.
V's eyes darted around the room.
He caught his reflection in a large~ gold-framed mirror on the wall.
Staring back at him was not his own face.
It was a stranger's face—heart-shaped~ with big~ doe-like eyes and soft brown hair.
It was the face of the novel's character~ Kim Taehyung.
But the eyes... the eyes were different.
They weren't filled with tears.
They were wide with shock~ then narrowed with a fiery bold anger that the original Taehyung never possessed.
The woman who he now recognized as the evil sister~ Yuri~ grabbed his arm.
Kim Yuri
Stop looking at yourself. You're already a disgrace. Just because Jungkook glanced at you once during dinner doesn't mean anything. Remember your place.
In the novel~ this moment happened.
The original Taehyung would have flinched~ apologized~ and cried. But V was not Taehyung.
He wrenched his arm from her grip~ his grip surprisingly strong.
He said~ his voice low and dangerous.
Yuri's eyes widened in genuine shock. This was not her weak-willed brother.
Kim Yuri
W-What did you say to me~??
V repeated~ stepping closer. He was taller than her. He used that height now~ looking down at her.
V
The next time you slap me~ I will slap you back. Twice as hard. Do you understand~??
Yuri was speechless. Her mouth opened and closed like a fish.
V~ his heart pounding not with fear~ but with a strange~ thrilling power~ turned his back on her and walked towards the large window.
The city skyline outside was unfamiliar~ glittering and cold.
He was trapped. Trapped in the world of the most pathetic novel he had ever read.
But as he stared at his new reflection—a face of an innocent victim~ now possessed by a fighter—a slow~ determined smile spread across his lips.
V
If this is my life now~ then the story is going to change. No more crying. No more victims.
Kim Taehyung's story was over.
V's story had just begun..
comfortable~
V decided on a plan. To survive~ he had to be smart.
He would pretend to be the shy~ quiet Taehyung on the outside~ but on the inside~ he was a storm waiting to happen.
He spent the day exploring the massive mansion~ his anger at the original Taehyung growing with every step.
V muttered under his breath~ running his hand over a smooth marble statue.
V
He had all this wealth~ this incredible life~ and he was too busy crying to enjoy it~?? And he had a damn fucking hot husband too~?? What a waste.
As night fell he wandered near the study.
The door was slightly open. Peeking in~ he saw him. Jeon Jungkook.
He was bathed in the soft glow of a desk lamp~ his brow furrowed in concentration as he worked on his laptop.
He looked even more handsome in person than V had imagined from the novel.
A slow chuckle escaped V's lips. The original Taehyung was so afraid of this man he never even tried to speak to him. What a fool.
Taking a deep breath~ V painted an innocent~ hesitant smile on his face and pushed the study door open.
The sound made Jungkook look up. His sharp eyes narrowed in a frown.
Jeon Jungkook
❄️ Doesn't anyone know how to knock~?? Don't they tell you not to enter my office~??
V kept his smile in place~ making his voice soft.
Jungkook stared at him for a moment~ a flicker of something unreadable in his gaze~ before he sighed and looked back at his laptop~ clearly expecting V to leave.
Taehyung
Ummm... nothing. I was just walking by and saw you working. It's late. You should rest.
Jungkook's head snapped up again~ a look of genuine surprise on his face. He almost... chuckled.
It was the first time he had properly heard Taehyung's voice since their wedding. His wife~Tae...... Yuri~ was always there~ speaking for him~ making sure they were never alone.
Jeon Jungkook
Thank you for your concern. You may leave now.
The dismissal was cold and short. V felt his smile strain.
He clenched his fist hidden in the pocket of his silk pajamas~ a hot flash of anger rushing through him.
Taehyung
💭How dare he ignore me like that~?? No one ignores my beauty like this!
But he forgot he's not in his world.
He left the study~ his mind made up.
Taehyung
First~ I have to win his heart.
Taehyung
And That way~ my damn bitch sister won't be able to do anything. She'll get so frustrated and I'll be happy and satisfied ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
He needed a bolder move. On his way back~ he sweetly asked a nervous maid which room was Mr. Jeon's.
After a moment's hesitation~ she pointed him down the main hallway.
V entered Jungkook's bedroom and his mouth fell open in a silent gasp.
Taehyung
Is this even real~??
The room was huge and decorated in dark~ masculine tones—charcoal grey and deep blue.
The bed was a massive modern four-poster that looked bigger than his entire old dorm room.
He breathed~ running a hand over the soft duvet.
Taehyung
I was so poor... and now I'm rich.hehe 😈Thank you~ Taehyung~ for this body.
Suddenly~ he flinched. A sixth sense told him someone was behind him. He spun around.
Jungkook was standing right there~ so close his chest was almost touching V's back.
His expression was unreadable.
Jeon Jungkook
❄️ What are you doing in my room~??
V's mind raced~ but he kept the innocent act. He looked down~ playing shy.
Taehyung
I... I'm your married wife. Shouldn't we be staying in one room~??
Jungkook's eyes widened slightly. He walked past Tae into the room~ going to his wardrobe to grab his night suit.
Jeon Jungkook
......But Yuri said you weren't comfortable with me. You agreed with her.
V looked up~ meeting his eyes.
Taehyung
Yeah... but I'm comfortable now. So... Ca..can I~??
Jungkook studied him for a long moment.
Jeon Jungkook
❄️ Don't hesitate to say anything. I'm not a monster. You can stay wherever you want to.
With that~ he turned and walked into the connected bathroom~ leaving V alone.
V stood still for a second~ processing.
In the novel~ Yuri had manipulated the situation~ telling Jungkook that Tae was uncomfortable.
Jungkook~ not caring enough to check~ had just agreed to sleep in a different room.
But not anymore~ V thought~ a determined glint in his eyes.
V
💭 I'm going to correct every single one of Taehyung's mistakes.
While Jungkook was in the bathroom~ V continued his exploration.
He roamed around the big-ass room~ noting the minimalist luxury.
He stepped out onto the large balcony~ seeing it was filled with Jungkook's favorite plants~ carefully tended to.
He even peeked into a small~ locked walk-in closet that probably held Jungkook's important files.
This was his battlefield now. And he was ready to fight.
